Understanding Facial Anatomy
Our Lewisburg dentists are uniquely positioned to administer Botox and Juvederm due to their in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy. This expertise ensures precise and effective treatments. Here’s why this matters:

- Bone and Joint Knowledge: They understand the underlying structures that affect facial aesthetics.
- Comprehensive Approach: Combining dental and facial aesthetic treatments provides comprehensive care.
Post-Treatment Care for Botox
Botox treatments require specific aftercare to maximize results and minimize side effects. Here are the dos and don’ts:
Dos:
- Stay Upright: Remain upright for at least 4 hours after treatment to prevent Botox from migrating.
- Exercise Facial Muscles: Gently move treated areas (e.g., smile, frown) to help Botox settle.
- Apply Ice Packs: Use ice packs to reduce swelling and discomfort if needed.
- Follow-Up Appointment: Schedule a follow-up to assess results and make any necessary adjustments.
Don’ts:
- Avoid Rubbing or Massaging: Do not touch or massage treated areas for 24 hours to prevent spreading.
- No Strenuous Activity: Avoid intense physical activity for 24 hours post-treatment.
- Skip Alcohol and Blood Thinners: Refrain from alcohol and blood-thinning medications for 24 hours to reduce bruising risk.
- Stay out of the Heat: To minimize swelling, avoid saunas, hot tubs, and sun exposure for 24-48 hours.
Post-Treatment Care for Juvederm
Juvederm treatments also require careful aftercare to ensure the best possible outcomes. Here’s what to do and what to avoid:
Dos:
- Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to help maintain hydration and enhance results.
- Apply Cold Compresses: Use cold compresses to reduce swelling and bruising.
- Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse treated areas gently with mild soap and water.
- Follow-Up Appointment: Schedule a follow-up to ensure optimal results and address any concerns.
Don’ts:
- Avoid Touching Treated Areas: Do not touch or massage treated areas for at least 6 hours post-treatment.
- No Heavy Makeup: Avoid applying heavy makeup for 24 hours to reduce infection risk.
