Shah & Velilla DDS Care that starts with you.
Understanding Botox
A clear picture.
A confident next step.
Botox is a prescription injectable that temporarily reduces activity in targeted muscles. Cosmetic treatment can soften certain expression lines. At your consultation, we review the concern you want to address, your medical history, and the expected benefits and limitations before discussing an individualized plan.
- Discuss your facial aesthetic goals
- Review medical history and suitability
- Understand temporary results and follow-up
Your care, step by step
What the process can look like.
We explain your options and make room for your questions at every stage.
- 01
Talk through your goals
We discuss the areas of concern, medications, prior treatments, and any conditions that may affect eligibility.
- 02
Review the proposed care
Your clinician explains the treatment areas, risks, alternatives, and aftercare before you decide whether to proceed.
- 03
Plan your follow-up
Results develop over time and are temporary. Follow-up provides a chance to assess your response and discuss concerns.
Worth knowing
Good care goes beyond the appointment.
Bruising, tenderness, and unwanted muscle weakness can occur. Botulinum toxin carries a boxed warning about effects spreading beyond the injection site. Seek immediate medical care for trouble swallowing, speaking, or breathing after treatment.
Is Botox permanent?
No. Muscle activity gradually returns. The duration and degree of change vary, so repeat treatment is an individual decision.
Can Botox help jaw clenching?
Use for jaw clenching is off-label and requires an individual assessment. It is not a substitute for diagnosing the cause of jaw pain or considering other options.
Who should discuss extra precautions?
Tell your clinician about pregnancy or breastfeeding, neuromuscular conditions, swallowing or breathing problems, infections, allergies, and all medications. Some patients should not receive treatment.
