What is Botox?
This widely recognized brand of neuromodulating agents contains Botulinum Toxin, a purified protein with both cosmetic and therapeutic applications.
The Botox process involves injecting purified bacteria into the areas of concern to freeze the muscle at the injection point. When Botox is injected into the facial muscles, neurotoxins are released. This helps relax the muscles and prevent them from contracting.
Dr. K-Lynn Hogh at Pure Dental is trained in both upper and lower face Botox treatments.
Botox Treatment: What To Expect
Before Treatment
We can address any questions and concerns you may have before the treatment to ensure our team understands your desired results.
Some have described the injections as a mild pinch - similar in sensation to a bug bite. The injection is directed into the muscle under the skin. We use a very fine needle to help prevent bruising, swelling, or pain.
After Treatment
Following your treatment, it's 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.
To avoid moving the Botox and affecting other muscles, do not rub or touch the treatment area. In rare cases, some individuals report experiencing headaches after a Botox injection.
