We use cosmetic injectables for various purposes, including:
- Helping to Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles
- Helping to Reduce the Appearance of a Gummy Smile
- Helping to Achieve a Refreshed Facial Look
Your Lugarno dentist may also use injectables to help relax the temporomandibular joints in TMJ/TMD treatment.
What to Expect Immediately Following Your Appointment
Typically, recovery is fast and straightforward. However, you may experience mild swelling, bruising and soreness. These symptoms are typical, but most patients return to regular activities after injectable treatment.
To promote a smooth recovery, it’s crucial to follow all aftercare instructions provided by your dentist.
Dos and Don’ts: The First 24 Hours
- Don't touch pressure on the treated area.
- Do stay upright for several hours after treatment.
- Do not exercise on the first day.
- Do limit heat, alcoholic beverages and direct sunlight on the first day.
- Do follow all tips and aftercare instructions.
These steps help prevent the injectable from shifting away from the treatment area and lessen bruising.
Every patient is different, so recovery experiences will vary.
Long-Term Maintenance and Oral Health Integration
Cosmetic injectables continue to work for a few weeks following treatment. In other words, the results you see on the day of treatment typically continue to get better. However, you’ll eventually need retreatment. Your dentist will let you know what to expect and when to come in for retreatment.
Our injectables work on their own or can be integrated into cosmetic dental work, such as veneers or teeth whitening, for a rounded enhancement.
