How Quickly Will JUVÉDERM VOLUMA Show Results?
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA injections will improve the appearance of your treated area immediately, but you will not be able to enjoy your desired results as soon as your treatment is complete. Before you can enjoy your desired results, your skin needs to produce a significant amount of extra collagen. This process generally takes between 10 and 14 days.
What Can I Do To See My Desired Results Faster?
There are several key components that your skin needs to produce collagen, including water. Therefore, if you want to see your desired results as quickly as possible, you need to stay hydrated once your treatment is administered. Individual hydration needs vary, but you will most likely need to drink at least six cups of hydrating fluids in addition to eating foods with a high water content.
Another important step to take to help your skin produce collagen as quickly as possible is to eat nutritiously. Certain antioxidants and other micronutrients, like vitamin C and zinc, are required by your skin for the production of collagen. Additionally, you need to make sure that you eat plenty of protein because your skin needs three essential amino acids for collagen production.
How Long Can I Expect My Desired Results To Last?
You can generally expect your results to last for up to 12 months, depending on several factors, including the severity of the concerns being addressed and your lifestyle choices following your treatment. If you want to extend the longevity of your results, it is essential that you protect the treated areas from UV damage. To accomplish this, you need to avoid unprotected sun exposure and minimize sun exposure in the middle of the day.
Another highly effective step to take to make your results last longer is to not smoke. UV damage is the leading cause of premature skin aging, but tobacco consumption can also damage the collagen in your skin, negatively affecting your appearance. Similarly, you should not consume more than one or two units of alcohol daily if you want to keep your skin looking young and healthy for as long as possible.
Am I a Good Candidate for This Treatment?

Furthermore, you will not qualify for this treatment if you are taking certain medications.
What Preparation Steps Will I Need To Take Prior to My Treatment?
In the 24 hours leading up to your injection session, you will not be able to smoke or drink alcohol. Additionally, you must avoid the consumption of any drug or dietary supplement that may prevent normal blood clotting or thin your blood. For example, you will not be able to take fish oil supplements, vitamin E supplements, or certain antidepressants.
Furthermore, you need to take steps to ensure that there is no skin irritation at the planned injection sites at the time of your appointment.
