Botox in Toronto

Botox is one of the best known and popular non-surgical treatments for treating lines and wrinkles caused by smiling, laughing and frowning.

Over time, as we naturally age, overactive muscle movement gradually wears away the collagen in our skin, causing the skin to crease and wrinkles to appear. Botox treatments relax these muscles, preventing the formation of wrinkles and smoothing out lines.

BOTOX does not “freeze” muscles but is used in an artistic way to restore a relaxed and more youthful appearance to the face. We will only treat the specific muscles that are responsible for your wrinkles, minimizing any possible loss of facial expression.

What is BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is a purified protein which when injected into a muscle leads to a temporary muscular relaxation. Frown lines, worry lines and laughter lines are all caused by the repeated contractions of facial muscles: relaxing these muscles with Botox® injections is a quick, safe and effective way to smooth and soften wrinkles.

Is It Right for Me?

BOTOX treatments are suitable for both women and men. Patients of virtually any age can benefit.

These are the commonly treated areas :

  • Crows feet at the corner of the eyes
  • Frown lines between the eyebrows
  • Forehead line or worry lines
  • Eyebrow lift

What will happen during the treatment?

We will undertake a thorough facial analysis and detailed discussion before proposing an appropriate treatment plan. The actual procedure takes just 5-10mins and involves a small number of injections of BOTOX® solution directly into the muscle groups causing wrinkling.

How quickly will I notice an effect?

You will be able to return to your normal daily activities immediately following treatment: there will be no visible changes. The full effect of the treatment will develop over the following 3-14 days.

How long will the treatment last?

This varies from individual to individual, but most people tend to have 2-3 treatments over the course of the first year. The duration of effect often increases with each repeat treatment: eventually you may only require one maintenance treatment per year.

Things to Consider

BOTOX® is considered a very safe medication. It is approved by medical authorities in over 70 countries worldwide. Botox ® should not be used if you have a history of previous allergy to botulinum toxins or are on antibiotic medications.

In our clinic Botox is performed by an M.D Botox specialist.
