How does Botox Cosmetics© work?
Repeated muscular contractions such as frowning and squinting can often lead to dynamic wrinkles. Botox Cosmetics© is a purified protein, and when injected into targeted areas, the treatment will relax the muscles.
What areas are most common?
Common areas to be treated with Botox Cosmetic© injections are between the eyebrows (frown lines), the horizontal lines that run across the forehead (forehead lines), and the areas around the outer eyes (crow’s feet).
Can you use Botox and maintain a natural look?
Maintaining a natural appearance is determined by the amount of Botox that is used per treatment. With just a small amount of Botox Cosmetic© injected into the treated muscle, users can maintain a natural and refreshed look. Injections are done with a very fine needle, with minimal pain.
How long does Botox Cosmetic© last?
You start seeing the effects of Botox after 10 days. The appearance of lines and wrinkles could continue to appear diminished for up to one week following treatment. Botox Costmetic© has been clinically proven to last up to four months.
Are Botox Cosmetic© treatments safe?
Licensed in Canada ince 1990, the treatment is safe and effective and has been approved for medical use since 2001.
Treatment cost?
The cost of a treatment is dependent on the area that needs to be treated. Consultations are available and recommended prior to any treatment to review cases and associated costs.
Are there side effects?
The most common side effects can be tenderness, bruising, or pain at the area of injection. In rare instances, there many be changes in heart beats, chest pains, skin rashes, or allergic reactions to the treatment. Swelling in common but can be reduced with recovery techniques.
