What are BOTOX® injections?
Botox® is a neuromodulator approved by Health Canada for cosmetic and medical treatments. Neuromodulators temporarily reduce the movement of muscles in which it is injected into, causing the surrounding area of skin to relax and stop ‘crinkling’ over itself. The crinkling or folding movement of skin is one of the main causes of fine line and wrinkle formation. These lines and wrinkles can make you look and feel older than you are. Botox® treatment is quick, with no downtime, making it a convenient option for busy individuals seeking effective results without extensive downtime.

How soon will I see results of BOTOX®?
Within 2 weeks. If you do not see enough improvement, you may need more units of injection.
How long does BOTOX® last?
Botox® lasts an average of 3-6 months. However, various factors can influence the duration of its effects. People with faster metabolisms may find that the effects of Botox wear off more quickly. Additionally, factors such as age, skin type, and activity level can also play a role in how long the results last. A qualified professional can ensure the proper dosage and placement of Botox®. Your first appointment will be a lower dosage because everyone reacts differently, and you can always come back for a top-up in approximately two weeks if you need additional units. This approach will give you a more natural look rather than a frozen look because everyone’s muscle movement and degree of wrinkles differ. Regular maintenance treatments can help prolong the effects, as consistent use may lead to longer-lasting results over time.
How many units will I need?
This all varies from person to person and on the area being treated. If you have strong muscles, you will need more Botox® units. Men tend to need more units than women because they have larger muscle mass and thicker skin. During the consultation, you can discuss your aesthetic goals with our medical injector.
Is there any downtime?
Like any other injections, you may experience minor redness, bruising, or swelling.
