What happens during treatment?
Botox is an extremely safe and quick procedure, which takes approximately 10 minutes in our clinic. It is commonly known as a “lunch time” procedure, as it is non-invasive and requires no down time. Your Thunder Bay Botox Technician will begin by cleaning the areas of the face where injection will take place. A mild antiseptic is used to clean these areas. The Botox agent is then injected using a tiny needle into the specific muscles that are causing your wrinkling. Not all facial muscles will be injected with Botox, so your natural facial expression is maintained. The treatment is very quick, allowing you to carry on with the rest of your day as you normally would.
Young women participate in a number of activities related to the treatment of their addiction. These activities include: formal group therapy on a daily basis; life skills training; household chores; fitness; nutritional meals; establishing a routine around bedtime, getting up in the morning and helping out around the house; and ongoing work around communication, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships. The young women participate in 12-step program aimed at helping them uncover patterns that support their drug or alcohol use. They also attend community-based meetings.
Most patients are “treated” while lying down although we modify the treatment to suit your needs and capabilities. There are many different osteopathic techniques or modalities that may be used. Some resemble massage and stretching, while others require patient participation. Some techniques are very light in touch where others are more forceful. All techniques are specific to the patient and the condition. During the treatment, some patients feel a deep sense of relaxation, warmth, cold, or a tingling or itching sensation. Others report no sensation at all. For more information, see What Happens During a Visit (link to What Happens During a Visit on Our Services page).
