Risks and Benefits

As with all procedures of this nature, Juvederm does carry certain risks, including infection. However, people who are injected with Juvederm typically only experience minor inflammatory symptoms - such as swelling, redness, bruising, pain, and tenderness - for less than seven days. Some patients may also experience discoloration or unevenness in the skin around the injection site.

For many, though, the benefits of Juvederm injections outweigh the risks. Benefits include: convenience, immediate results, no anesthesia, little to no downtime, minimal risks, and a smoother, younger looking appearance.
