Frequently Asked Questions
How does Botox work?
For muscle contraction to occur, nerves release a neurotransmitter that prompts muscle cells to contract or shorten. However, the injection of Botox temporarily inhibits the release of this neurotransmitter, which diminishes muscle contractions and facilitates muscle relaxation, thereby reducing stiffness.
Why do dentists offer Botox?
It often comes as a surprise to many individuals that dentists are qualified to provide Botox treatments. In fact, dentists have been offering these treatments for numerous years, addressing both cosmetic and therapeutic needs. Their extensive training in the anatomy of the head, face, and neck proves advantageous when devising a Botox treatment plan. Furthermore, as dentists perform injections regularly, they possess a unique expertise that enhances the comfort of the treatment experience.
What to expect from your botox treatment ?
At Willow Dental care Vancouver, receiving Botox results in a natural appearance, as if you have not undergone any treatment.
Our approach includes the following steps:
- We prioritize your comfort and relaxation throughout the entire process.
- The Botox procedure is both swift and straightforward, with only a brief sensation akin to a pinch. • Each treatment is tailored to align with your individual needs and objectives.
- The entire procedure typically lasts approximately 10 minutes.
- Most individuals will notice or experience enhancements within a few days following the treatment.
- The duration of the effects generally ranges from 3 to 6 months or longer, although this can differ among individuals.
How long does Botox last?
Botox can be effective, but it isn’t permanent. It’s designed to
provide temporary relief, with effects generally lasting 3–6
months. This depends on a few factors mainly related to your
metabolism and lifestyle
Is Botox Right for You?
Every patient is unique, and so is their treatment. If you’re
experiencing symptoms that affect your jaws, face, or head,
and haven’t found relief through conventional methods,
BOTOX Therapeutics might be suitable for you.
Is Botox Safe?
Botox has built a long-standing reputation for safety—but only
when handled by professionals trained to use it properly. Your
dentist is an experienced professional, so they know what
dosages and techniques to use to keep you safe during your
procedure

contractions).
