What is Botox?

Botox is a highly recognizable 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 any areas of concern to freeze the muscle at the site of the injection. When injected into the facial muscles, Botox releases neurotoxins, which prevent the muscles from contracting and help them to relax.

At Ivory Dental, Dr. Shawn Heggie is trained in both upper and lower face Botox treatments.

Botox Treatment: What To Expect

Before Treatment

Any questions and concerns you have will be addressed before the treatment to ensure your desired results are understood.

Some patients described the injections to feel like a mild pinch, similar to a bug bite. 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

After your treatment, it is important to avoid certain activities for the first several hours. You must not lay down, or bend your head for a sustained period of time.

Do not touch or rub the treatment area to avoid moving the Botox and affecting other muscles. In rare cases, some people report getting headaches after a Botox injection.
