JUVEDERM® VOLIFT® RETOUCH with Lidocaine

What Is Juvéderm® Volift® Retouch with Lidocaine?

Juvéderm® Volift® Retouch with Lidocaine is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler that provides a refined solution for touch-ups following initial filler treatments, along with minor corrections and enhancements. This filler is especially beneficial for maintaining facial balance by addressing areas needing subtle enhancement without the necessity of a full syringe.

Storage conditions

To preserve the integrity of the dermal filler, store Juvéderm® Volift® Retouch with Lidocaine at a temperature between 2°C and 25°C. Keep it in a dark, dry place, away from heat sources and freezing temperatures, in the original packaging, with a valid expiration date.

Mode of Administration

Juvéderm® Volift® Retouch is intended for injection into the dermis or mucous membrane of the lips by trained medical practitioners in compliance with local regulations. The recommended needle size is 30G1/2”, though alternatives may be used based on the practitioner’s preference, except for lip treatments where 25G cannulas are discouraged. Practitioners must inform patients about the product’s uses, contraindications, and potential risks before treatment. Proper injection techniques, including using minimal pressure, ensuring the needle is not intravascular, and avoiding overcorrection, are crucial to reducing side effects. Post-injection, the area should be massaged to ensure even distribution, and a follow-up should be scheduled after side effects have resolved, typically waiting at least two weeks between treatments.

Post-Treatment Care

To ensure optimal results and minimise complications, patients should adhere to these post-treatment care guidelines:

• Avoid strenuous exercise and sun exposure for 24-48 hours to prevent swelling or bruising
• Refrain from applying makeup for at least 12 hours to lower infection risk
• Avoid touching or massaging the treated area to prevent filler displacement
• Use a cold compress to alleviate any swelling or bruising
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water to support skin healing
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours post-treatment to reduce the risk of bruising
• Sleep with the head elevated to minimise swelling during the first night following treatment

How Long Does The Effect Last?

Juvéderm® Volift® Retouch with Lidocaine typically delivers long-lasting results ranging from 12 to 15 months. The duration may vary based on the treatment area, product volume used, and individual patient factors such as metabolism and skin condition.

Potential Side Effects

While generally well-tolerated, medical professionals should make the patients aware of potential side effects associated with Juvéderm® Volift® Retouch with Lidocaine. Common side effects include temporary inflammation at the injection site – redness, bruising, tenderness and itching while the skin heals. Less common side effects may include formation of small, palpable nodules that may need correction, as well as some discolouration or asymmetry. 

Rare side effects, such as infection, vascular occlusion or scarring, require prompt medical attention.
