What is Botox?

Botox is a widely recognized brand of neuromodulating agents. It contains Botulinum Toxin, a purified protein that has both cosmetic and therapeutic applications.

The Botox process involves injections containing purified bacteria into the areas of concern which will cause the muscle at the injection point to freeze. Botox releases neurotoxins when injected into the facial muscles, preventing the muscles from contracting and helping them to relax.

At Apple Dental Care, Dr. Vanessa Shewchuk is trained in both upper and lower face Botox treatments.

Botox Treatment: What To Expect

Before Treatment

Prior to your treatment, you will have the opportunity to discuss any questions to concerns that you may have. 

The feeling from the injection is similar to a small pinch and isn't painful. The injection is directed into the muscle under the skin. The needle is very fine in order to help prevent any pain, bruising, or swelling.

After Treatment

It is very important that you do not lay down or bend over for the first couple of hours after your treatment.

Touching or rubbing the treatment area could potentially result in the treatment being moved to other muscles so it is best to avoid doing this. In rare cases, some people report getting headaches after a Botox injection.
