Juvéderm® in Indianapolis, IN: How Does It Work?
Dr. Amy offers Juvéderm®, a top hyaluronic acid filler made by Allergan, the same company that makes Botox®. Juvéderm is hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a naturally occurring substance found in the skin that helps produce collagen to maintain volume.
It also helps retain moisture and softness. As we age, hyaluronic acid decreases in our skin, leading to volume loss. Our skin then begins to droop and sag, and fine lines and wrinkles will begin to appear.
Juvéderm will restore lost volume in treated areas by replenishing hyaluronic acid and increasing the natural production of collagen. It can reduce the signs of aging by filling in the wrinkles seen when your face is at rest.
We use Juvéderm in many areas, such as the lips, cheeks, nose-to-mouth lines, mouth-to-chin lines, hands, and temples. Juvéderm® is not a permanent treatment and cannot give you the same results as plastic surgery.
The effects can last from 6 months to 2 years. The Juvéderm® formula has a very low risk of allergic reaction or rejection because it is non-animal-based.
It is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid with a proven track record of safety.
Benefits of Juvederm Treatment
The benefits of Juvederm include reducing wrinkles and a more youthful appearance. Juvederm can also add volume to your cheeks to reduce facial sagging. It may also add definition to your jawline.
The procedure is minimally invasive, and you don’t need to rest afterward. If you are looking to reduce wrinkles, smooth facial skin, and look younger, Juvederm may be a great option.

Juvéderm® FAQs
Juvederm can accentuate your beautiful smile. Learn more below.
How long does Juvederm last?
The results from Juvéderm injections will last for about a year. The lifespan of Juvéderm treatment depends on the treated body part. It is not a permanent solution, so your body will naturally break down and reabsorb the material over time.
Does Juvederm work immediately?
Yes. You will be able to see your results immediately! You may experience minor swelling or bruising, but this should resolve after a week.
What is the Juvederm process like?
The procedure lasts 15-30 minutes, depending on how many syringes you need and which parts of your face receive treatment. A typical session uses 1 or 2 syringes of Juvéderm®. Dr. Amy will inject the Juvéderm® syringe into the mid to deep dermis (below the outer layer of the skin).
What can you not do after Juvederm?
After Juvéderm, steer clear of heat. Skip hot food/drinks, saunas, hot showers, and direct sun. Patients should also avoid alcohol for the first 24 hours after treatment.
How long does swelling last after Juvederm?
Patients typically experience swelling for about 2 weeks after treatment. Swelling is typically minimal and begins to subside after about a week.
What should you avoid before Juvederm?
Patients should refrain from using moisturizers, cleansers, and facial ointments for at least 48 hours before Juvederm treatment. These products may irritate the skin, potentially negatively affecting treatment.
