What Are Facial Aesthetics?
Facial aesthetics includes nonsurgical treatments designed to refresh or enhance the appearance of the face. These services may address expression lines, volume loss, facial balance and selected areas around the mouth, eyes, forehead, cheeks and lips.
At 7 Day Dental Smiles, facial aesthetics treatment may include:
Our primary injectable options include BOTOX and JUVÉDERM. Although both are injectable treatments, they work in different ways and address different concerns.
BOTOX for Expression Lines
BOTOX is an injectable medication that temporarily reduces activity in selected facial muscles. Repeated movements such as frowning, squinting and raising the eyebrows can contribute to visible expression lines over time.
By relaxing carefully selected muscles, BOTOX may temporarily soften concerns such as:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Bunny lines near the nose
- Selected lines around the mouth
- Facial tension associated with repeated muscle movement
BOTOX does not add volume to the face. Its purpose is to reduce selected muscle activity that contributes to dynamic lines.
JUVÉDERM for Facial Volume and Contours
JUVÉDERM is a family of dermal fillers made with hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and helps the skin retain moisture and volume.
Depending on the product selected and the patient’s anatomy, JUVÉDERM may be used to:
- Restore volume in selected facial areas
- Enhance the shape or fullness of the lips
- Improve cheek definition
- Soften nasolabial folds
- Reduce the appearance of certain lines around the mouth
- Improve shallow facial contours
- Create greater balance between facial features
JUVÉDERM adds volume beneath the skin rather than relaxing facial muscles. Our team will explain whether BOTOX, JUVÉDERM or a combination of treatments may better address your goals.
Facial Aesthetics and Smile Makeovers
Patients may consider facial aesthetics as part of a broader smile makeover. Improving the teeth can create a significant transformation, while carefully planned injectable treatment may help complement the lips, cheeks and surrounding facial features.
Facial aesthetics may also be considered for:
- A comprehensive smile enhancement
- Softening lines around the mouth, eyes or forehead
- Restoring facial volume that has changed over time
- Enhancing appearance before a special occasion
- Creating more balanced facial proportions
- Refreshing the overall appearance without surgery
Treatment is always customized rather than based on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Areas That May Be Treated
Depending on your concerns and the treatment selected, facial aesthetics may address areas such as:
- Brow lines
- Frown lines
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet
- Bunny lines
- Cheeks
- Nasolabial folds
- Lips
- Lines around the mouth
- Selected areas of facial volume loss
Not every treatment is appropriate for every area. Our dentists will assess your facial anatomy and recommend an approach based on safety, suitability and your desired outcome.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
Your facial aesthetics experience begins with a personalized consultation. Our team will discuss what you would like to improve, review your health history and evaluate facial movement, symmetry and proportions.
Your consultation may include:
- A review of your aesthetic goals
- An assessment of facial muscle activity
- Evaluation of volume loss and facial contours
- A discussion of BOTOX and JUVÉDERM options
- Review of possible benefits, limitations and risks
- An explanation of expected recovery and maintenance
- Development of a personalized treatment plan
Providing complete medical information is important because injectable treatment may not be appropriate for every patient.
What Happens During Treatment?
Before treatment, the skin will be cleaned and the planned injection areas may be marked. Small amounts of BOTOX or JUVÉDERM are then placed in carefully selected areas using a fine needle or cannula, depending on the treatment.
Many appointments can be completed relatively quickly, although treatment time depends on the number of areas addressed and the complexity of the plan. Comfort measures such as ice or a topical numbing product may be used when appropriate.
When Will I See Results?
BOTOX and JUVÉDERM have different timelines:
- BOTOX: Some changes may become noticeable within several days, with results continuing to develop as the treated muscles respond.
- JUVÉDERM: Changes may be visible soon after treatment, although temporary swelling can affect the initial appearance.
Results vary based on the treatment area, product used, dosage, anatomy and individual response.
How Long Do Facial Aesthetics Results Last?
BOTOX results commonly last approximately three to four months, although individual experiences vary. JUVÉDERM results may last several months or longer depending on the product and treatment area.
Maintenance timing should be based on your response to treatment rather than a fixed schedule. Our team will explain when follow-up care may be appropriate.
Experience in Facial Aesthetics
Dr. Rheanna Burnham has completed additional facial aesthetics training and holds AAFE certification. She regularly incorporates BOTOX and JUVÉDERM into selected cosmetic and smile makeover treatment plans.
Her approach emphasizes careful evaluation, patient education and natural-looking changes that complement each patient’s facial features and smile.
BOTOX Versus JUVÉDERM
BOTOX and JUVÉDERM are both injectable treatments, but they serve different purposes:
- BOTOX temporarily reduces selected muscle activity that contributes to expression lines.
- JUVÉDERM adds volume beneath the skin and may enhance contours or soften selected folds.
Some patients may benefit from one treatment, while others may discuss a combined plan. Our dentists will explain which approach may be appropriate based on your concerns and anatomy.
What Is Recovery Like?
Many patients return to their normal routine shortly after treatment. Temporary effects may include:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Tenderness
- Bruising
- Small bumps near injection sites
- Temporary firmness in a treated area
Our team will provide aftercare instructions based on the treatment performed. Contact us promptly if you experience symptoms that concern you or do not improve as expected.
How to Care for Treated Areas
After treatment, you may be advised to:
- Avoid rubbing or pressing on injection sites
- Remain upright for the recommended period after BOTOX
- Temporarily avoid strenuous exercise
- Limit excessive heat or sun exposure
- Delay certain facial or skin treatments
- Follow all personalized aftercare instructions
Recommendations may vary depending on whether you received BOTOX, JUVÉDERM or both.
Am I a Candidate for Facial Aesthetics?
Facial aesthetics may be considered for adults who want to soften selected lines, restore volume or enhance facial contours without surgery. Treatment may not be suitable for everyone.
During your consultation, be prepared to discuss:
- Current medical conditions
- Medications and supplements
- Allergies and previous reactions
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Neuromuscular conditions
- Previous injectable or cosmetic treatments
- Your expectations and aesthetic goals
Our team will use this information to determine whether treatment can be provided safely and appropriately.
