The Juvéderm Process
Your aesthetic journey starts with a personal consultation. We’ll discuss your concerns and goals, and we’ll examine your treatment area(s). If Juvéderm in Brookline offers the best solution, we’ll schedule your appointment.
During your “lunch break” treatment, our expert injectors place the right amount of Juvéderm in the target treatment areas. This increases volume there, erasing signs of aging while making skin healthier.

Look Better & Feel Better Today
Let our team help you on your aesthetic journey!
You’ll start to notice an improvement in your appearance as soon as you’re done with your Juvéderm in Brookline! Your full results take shape over the next 7 to 14 days. Depending on the specifics of your treatment area, your Juvéderm results can last as long as 2 years, and we’ll work with you to set up maintenance appointments in a way that works with your schedule.
It’s common for the quality of your skin to start changing as a natural part of the aging process. You may notice an increase in laxity, a loss of volume, and/or the gradual appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Many of these facial issues come from a decrease in your body’s production of hyaluronic acid (HA). This compound does a lot of important work when it comes to keeping your skin looking healthy and youthful.
Juvéderm works by replacing the HA that your body is no longer making. It also temporarily replaces lost volume, reversing the appearance of deeper lines and facial folds. Depending on the Juvéderm formulation and treatment area, it can help prevent the formation of new lines and wrinkles for up to 2 years.
Common side effects with Juvéderm injectable gel are usually mild or moderate. Most patients experience a bit of tenderness and redness in the treatment area, which will quickly fade.
Patients who are using medicines that can prolong bleeding, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, may experience increased bruising or bleeding at the injection site. You should inform your provider before treatment if you are using these types of medications.
Pre- & Post-Care Instructions for Juvéderm in Brookline
- Women who are pregnant or nursing should not be treated with dermal fillers.
- Women who are actively trying to conceive should consult their physician prior to receiving dermal fillers.
- Please allow a minimum of 2 weeks’ time in between any vaccinations and your treatment.
- It is best to avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.) 24 to 48 hours prior to your treatment. This may increase your risk of bruising.
- If you have had dental work (including a cleaning) within the past 2 weeks, or are planning to within 2 weeks after your dermal filler treatment, we advise you to defer your treatment until the 2-week mark after your dental treatment.
- If you are actively on any prescription antibiotics or steroids, we ask that you wait 2 weeks to be treated upon completion of the medication course.
- If you are feeling under the weather or are experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms, it is best to wait until you have fully recovered to be treated.
- You may opt to take Arnica and/or Bromelain tablets for 2 weeks prior to your injections. This will assist with healing and bruising.
- If you are prone to and being treated in an area that may cause a Herpes Labialis outbreak, we suggest pretreating with an antiviral medication for 2 days prior to your treatment and 2 days post-treatment. Dream Spa Medical is happy to provide you with a prescription, assuming that you are a candidate for this prescription.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body function at its best, accelerate your healing time, and enhance results.
- You may consider having at least a snack or a small meal within an hour of your appointment. Getting injected with needles can at times cause one to feel “queasy” or unwell. It always helps to have a little something in your stomach to combat those feelings. We keep juice and snack bars on hand in case you need a little pick-me-up mid-treatment!
- The treatment area will most likely feel sensitive, swollen, and tender to the touch; this may last for up to 2 weeks. If you are experiencing excessive pain, discomfort, throbbing, or excessive swelling in the treated area, please contact Dream Spa Medical immediately so that we can assess if you should be seen by our team.
- Due to the lidocaine anesthetic in the gel, you may feel numbness or tingling immediately after the procedure, which will resolve within an hour.
- If you are being treated in multiple areas or if your provider is making a heavy correction involving a lot of product, you should expect your soreness, swelling, and tenderness to be more elevated. You and your provider can discuss what will fall into the “normal” range, and you will be contacted via phone within 48 hours by your provider to check in and see how your treatment is settling.
- We advise that you take Tylenol for any discomfort for 2 weeks post-treatment. It is best to avoid any type of ibuprofen, as it may increase your risk of bruising.
- Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous activity, sweating, and other activities that involve heat (steam/sauna) for 48 hours.
- Visible injection marks are normal as well as bruising, and these are to be expected in most cases. These will heal normally within 2 weeks. Please do not pick at the injection sites, as this may cause infection.
- Treated areas should be cared for gently when washing your face or applying products. It is best to not touch or manipulate the treated area for at least 48 hours.
- We suggest waiting a full 2 weeks before any additional treatments, such as facials, peels, laser, etc.
- Your results will develop over time as the product integrates into your existing tissue. This may take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks.
- Please do not manipulate or massage any area of treatment, unless instructed to do so by your provider. Some areas require massaging, such as the neck. You will be given clear instructions tailored to your treatment before you leave. Your provider will set up a 2 week post-procedure appointment to address any concerns or physical developments, such as bumps in the treated area. Please call Dream Spa Medical if you are unsure about any of these instructions or have any questions.
- Ice or clean, cool compresses may be used in any area of treatment immediately after, up to 48 hours post-procedure. This will help any swelling and discomfort.
- Do not apply makeup over injection points until the day after the procedure. If you need to apply something for hydration to your lips, then please use Aquaphor/Vaseline with a clean cotton tip.
- Try to sleep on your back, with your head elevated, for 1 to 2 nights.
- You may opt to take Arnica tablets or apply Arnica gel for up to 2 weeks post-treatment to assist with healing and bruising. Taking an over-the-counter antihistamine (Zyrtec, Claritin) daily may help minimize swelling.
- We advise that you should not fly on an airplane or any type of aircraft for at least 1 week post-treatment. The changes in air pressure and altitude can exacerbate or produce swelling.
Fillers are exciting and beautiful tools that help us enhance and restore your natural beauty. They are also medical treatments that should be performed by an experienced practitioner.
