What will I experience when I get Juvederm™ injections?
When you come in for your Juvederm™ injection appointment, you will have numbing cream placed on the area that is to be injected for about 10 minutes. If you are having lip augmentation with Juvederm™, you will get a numbing injection on the inside of the lip – similar to a dentist’s numbing injection. Ice will also be applied for numbing and to prevent bruising. Once the area is numb and iced, Dr. Rivkin will inject Juvederm™ with a very thin needle in a series of small injections. The area injected will then be gently massaged for a minute or two. You will be asked to ice the area injected intermittently – a minute on and a minute off, for the rest of the day. The entire process will take less than 20 minutes after numbing.
