In as little as 15 – 30 minutes, your JUVÉDERM procedure can help smooth your skin and give you a healthy appearance almost immediately. You'll likely experience some mild swelling and bruising around the treated areas for about a week, however, this is a normal part of the healing process. Your results will typically last about a year, however, touch-up treatments are encouraged to help those results last even longer.

Wrinkles and hollow areas under the eyes can make you appear older or more tired. JUVÉDERM can instantly smooth out these areas, restoring a more youthful appearance to your features. Body Bar MD is proud to offer JUVÉDERM for the following reasons:

• Safe: JUVÉDERM is made from a natural substance called hyaluronic acid, which is found in your body. This makes it unlikely that you will experience an allergic reaction.
• Effective: JUVÉDERM provides natural-looking results that last up to one year with just one treatment.
• Convenient: Injections can be performed in our office in as little as 30 minutes, and there is no recovery time required. You can resume normal activities immediately afterward.

The best candidates for JUVÉDERM injectable treatments are women and men who have lines and wrinkles on their face that they want to fix. It may also help if you have naturally thin or age-related volume loss in your lips or cheeks. JUVÉDERM dermal filler injections at Body Bar MD are ideal if you want to improve your facial appearance while avoiding the recovery time and expense of cosmetic surgery (like facelifts, brow lifts, eyelid lifts, or facial implants).

You usually see a visible enhancement immediately following your JUVÉDERM injection, but you could also develop light bruising or swelling in the treated areas of the face for around 7 – 10 days. The results of JUVÉDERM dermal fillers usually can be seen for up to one year; several patients find that their improvements last longer after 2 – 3 years of injections. Talk to Dr. Christy about how soon to book a touch-up or full treatment at Body Bar MD in Carmel and Terre Haute, IN to maintain your results.

How much does JUVÉDERM cost?
Your cost for JUVÉDERM will vary dependent on the amount of filler that is needed to achieve your cosmetic goals. Before your JUVÉDERM injections are administered, a customized treatment plan will be developed to fit your goals. Once this is complete, your injector can estimate costs and discuss payment options.

Are JUVÉDERM injections painful?
Although many patients don't find it needed, a numbing cream can be massaged into the treatment area before injection if you're concerned about discomfort. Following the injection, you might experience mild to moderate bruising and swelling that should reduce over the next week, depending on the treatment area. You should contact Body Bar MD if you have any severe discomfort or abnormal side effects following your JUVÉDERM injection.

What is the difference between a wrinkle filler and a relaxer?
Injectable fillers and relaxers correct wrinkles throughout the face, but through different methods. Wrinkle relaxers, like BOTOX®, smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movements. JUVÉDERM is an injectable wrinkle filler that improves static wrinkles and adds volume. JUVÉDERM is ideal for treating mild to moderate lines and wrinkles or to reverse volume loss in your lips and cheeks.

What results can I expect?
It may take a few days to view the full improvements from your injections. Usually, it only takes one appointment to achieve your aesthetic goal. However, you may schedule a follow-up appointment if you want to add more volume or see more improvement.

How long do results typically last?
The effects of one JUVÉDERM treatment may last up to two years. This will vary depending on which formula is used and the injection site(s). The longevity of results will be faster or slower depending on the speed at which your body breaks down the filler.
