Side Effects
While Juvederm Ultra 3 injections are often very safe, patients could notice minimal, temporary reactions to the area of injection, including pain, irritation, swelling, bruising, discoloration, lumps or bumps. These negative effects tend to go away on their own after a few days. But if the reactions continue for longer than a week or get worse, patients should see their doctor as soon as possible.
Precautions
To prevent the risks of potential complications after the procedures, Juvederm Ultra 3 Lidocaine should be performed individually by those who are trained and competent in aesthetic medicine. All standard injection protocols (e.g., aseptic technique) should be followed when applying the treatment, and the choice of injection type should be suited for each clinical situation. After the injection, it should be massaged in order to be distributed uniformly.
