Swelling and bruising are natural reactions

Since this is an injection procedure, some swelling or bruising may occur afterward. This is the most common response and usually subsides naturally within 1–2 weeks, so there's no need to worry. Applying a cold compress in the early stages can help.

The filler needs time to settle in place. For about 2 weeks after the procedure, avoid pressing the area strongly, getting facial massages, or sleeping face down, as these can alter the shape.

Activities that raise body temperature, such as saunas, hot baths, or intense exercise, may worsen swelling or inflammation. Keeping cool for at least a week will support recovery.

What exactly is Juvederm's 'Vycross™' technology?

What exactly is Juvederm's 'Vycross™' technology?

Vycross™ is Juvederm's patented technology that efficiently cross-links hyaluronic acid molecules of different sizes. Thanks to this technology, the particles of hyaluronic acid are densely and firmly bound together, so they don't spread easily under external pressure and the shape lasts longer. At the same time, the gel itself is very smooth, making it possible to achieve both long-lasting results and natural movement.

There are many types of Juvederm, which one should I get?

Juvederm has a wide lineup such as Voluma, Volift, Volbella, and Volite. Each has different particle sizes and viscosity, so the optimal product is chosen depending on the treatment area and purpose. For example, Voluma has firm particles, so it is used for creating deep volume in areas like the chin or cheeks, while Volbella has softer particles, making it suitable for thin areas like under the eyes or lips. At DERNA, our medical team directly diagnoses your skin condition and recommends the most appropriate product.

What does it mean when you say 'because it's a gel type, it's soft'?

What does it mean when you say 'because it's a gel type, it's soft'?

Juvederm is made as a very smooth and uniform gel, so when injected, it spreads softly without clumping. That's why, after the procedure, it settles into the skin naturally without feeling hard or bumpy, like your own flesh. Especially when you make facial expressions like smiling or talking, the filler doesn't move awkwardly but stretches and contracts naturally together with the skin, so the procedure doesn't look obvious—which is its biggest advantage.
