Q:

I am scheduled to have Juvederm injections in the folds around my mouth next week. I am also considering having Fraxel treatments done later on. Must I wait until the Juvederm is completely dissolved before I do the Fraxel? I don’t want to wait six months to have the Fraxel series.

A:

You may have Fraxel treatment before the Juvederm is dissolved.  However, the Juvederm absorption may occur more quickly and conversely; the Fraxel treatment might be affected for the worse.  I would recommend having the treatments separately and allowing for the complete absorption of the Juvederm.  Good luck!
