Botox® is the specific trade name for Botulinum Toxin, which is a purified neuromodulator protein that is injected into various muscles. Once it is injected, it works to block the neurotransmission of the nerves to the muscles, basically temporarily relaxing muscles and therefore decreasing contractions. Less movement means less lines and wrinkles. Botox® is the only approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe lines and wrinkles. It is one of the most studied medical aesthetic treatments, having been evaluated in many clinical trials and hundreds of peer-reviewed articles in scientific and medical journals. Millions of people have already enjoyed the cosmetic benefits of Botox®, and Chestermere Dental is pleased to offer this treatment.

Botox® targets one of the underlying causes of lines and wrinkles; the repeated muscle contractions from furrowing the brow, frowning and squinting over the years. Your Chestermere Dental provider will inject these muscles with Botox® to temporarily reduce muscle activity. Botox® contains tiny amounts of a highly purified botulinum toxin protein that is refined from the bacterium, Clostridium botulinum. Once injected into the muscle, it temporarily limits the movement of the muscles. This limited movement reduces the appearance of wrinkles and lines, creating the overall appearance of smoother and more youthful skin. Botox® works beneath the skin’s surface and targets the underlying muscle activity that causes lines and wrinkles. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of lines over the course of 3-10 days.

Following treatment, you may begin to see noticeable results within 24-48 hours for moderate to severe lines, with full effects seen at 10 days. Results can last up to 4 months. Some patients describe being injected with Botox® as feeling like a pinch. Your provider may use ice to numb the treatment area. If you are concerned about discomfort, your provider may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment. The actual injection takes about 10 minutes. Your provider will discuss your treatment goals and perform a facial analysis to determine the appropriate treatment areas for you. You will still look like yourself, only with less noticeable lines and wrinkles! Treatment requires minimal downtime or recovery; it is often called a lunchtime procedure because you will be able to go about your normal routine immediately after you leave your provider’s office.

Dental Botox® has been on the consumer market with full FDA and Health Canada approval for over ten years and has been extensively researched in over 2400 medical studies. Botox® is completely safe if administered correctly by a trained professional. Dr. James Yue has the full authority to provide Botox® Cosmetic procedures in Chestermere, and he routinely stays up to date with the latest information through both seminars and hands-on CE Courses. Temporary side effects and rare complications can arise if your body is not in a healthy state when undergoing treatment. Chestermere Dental strongly believes that your health must come first over anything else. As such, patients looking to start Botox® should be in overall good health before starting treatment. Chestermere Dental will work diligently to assess your health history and ensure that Botox® Cosmetic is safe for your personal use before starting any injection procedures.

Your cost not only includes the price of the product but more importantly, the skill and expertise of the doctor or healthcare professional who is administering your treatment. Botox® is a technique-sensitive treatment look for someone who is licensed and trained and has experience treating patients with Botox®. Be wary of discount products or “cheap” Botox®; if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. It is more important to find an experienced provider who will take the time to understand your treatment goals and develop a treatment plan that is right for you.
