Juvederm® is a non-invasive procedure with no surgery or anesthesia required with little to no discomfort during injection. Though there is no anesthesia, Dr. Partington may use a topical anesthesia to numb the area. Patients are free to leave immediately following injection.
The Recovery
There is no down-time and any redness, swelling or bruising resides in a couple of days. If redness or swelling is bothersome, applying an ice-pack to the area is advised. Patients are advised to stay away from any vigorous physical activity, excessive sun exposure, as well as avoid alcoholic beverages to minimize temporary redness or welling. Normal daily activities are permitted immediately following treatment.
