PRE & POST TREATMENT CARE INSTRUCTIONS
MSU Aesthetic & Laser Treatment Center’s post- care instructions are intended to help guide you through a quick recovery process, ensure proper skin healing, and maximize results for your JUVÉDERM® injections.
PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS
2 Weeks Leading up to Treatment
- To avoid bruising: Avoid Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Vitamin E, and Fish Oil supplements anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks prior to treatment day to avoid potential bruising.
- Vitamin K & Arnica: Keeping a Vitamin K topical ointment, such as Revisions Vitamin K (sold at our office), or Arnica, can be used at home before and after treatment to head off potential bruising.
POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Immediately Post-Treatment
- Tenderness, bruising, and swelling: Tenderness at the treatment site can last for a few hours or, at times, a couple days post-treatment. Temporary, minimal to moderate swelling may be expected, and lip injections will have significant swelling for 2-3 days. Bruising at the treatment site may occur and can last for 1-2 weeks.
- Firmness at site: It is normal to feel firmness at the treatment site for the first few days after treatment. Over time, the area will soften and settle.
First 24 Hours Post-Treatment
- Avoid touching or rubbing: Keep hands away from the face, especially in the treatment zone. Do not massage or rub.
- Do not reapply skin care products or makeup.
First 48 Hours Post-Treatment
- No exercise or cardio.
- Be Gentle: Use gentle pressure when washing, applying makeup, or laying down on your side.
- Avoid applying pressure: Facial massage, facial cleaning devices, Gua Sha tools, or ice rollers should be avoided.
Combining Other Cosmetic Treatments
- Prior to JUVÉDERM® Injection: Certain cosmetic services may be done prior, as close as same day, as your JUVÉDERM® injection.

- For dental procedures: For dental cleaning or oral visits it is recommended to wait 2-4 weeks following your JUVÉDERM® injection.
Pain Management
- Orals: Tylenol may be taken if you experience any mild tenderness or discomfort post-injection. Avoid Aspirin, Motrin, Vitamin E, and Fish Oil.
