BOTOX® in Toronto

Most patients can come in for a consultation and receive their injection immediately afterward. However, some things to consider include stopping the consumption of alcohol or taking blood-thinning medications or supplements, like aspirin, ibuprofen, ginkgo biloba, or Ginseng, a week before the treatment. This will help minimize bruising after the procedure.

Our specialists use a numbing agent or topical numbing gel for patients who request it, before administering BOTOX. For patients who get anxious about needles, we will work to make you feel as comfortable as possible so that you do not feel pain throughout the treatment. Be sure to discuss any concerns you have about pain management during your consultation. Upon completion of the treatment, you will experience mild soreness in the treatment areas, which typically subsides within a few hours.

Every course of treatment is as individual as the person receiving it. Some patients are satisfied with a single session, while others may require multiple sessions to achieve their goals. For optimal, longer-lasting results, we recommend booking follow-up appointments every 3-4 months to maintain your youthful appearance. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and discuss the number of appointments required for your treatment.

Once the mild swelling in the treatment area has subsided, you will begin to see results between 5 and 7 days after your procedure. We guarantee that you will be satisfied with the results and feel on top of the world when you start receiving compliments on your skin. Some of the most noticeable results appear on the forehead and around the lips/mouth areas, where there is a visible and drastic reduction in wrinkles and fine lines.

When performed accurately, BOTOX is a very safe procedure. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, being informed about potential complications or side effects is important. Immediately following a BOTOX or wrinkle relaxer treatment, you may experience swelling or mild soreness in the treated areas. You may also experience headaches or an infection at the injection site.

Our specialists maintain a clean, sterilized environment to ensure top-notch service. However, there is also the risk of not being completely satisfied with your results, which follow-up appointments may rectify. If you have concerns about any potential Risks associated with OTOX or wrinkle relaxers, please call us today to schedule a consultation.

We recommend waiting 24–48 hours after your BOTOX treatment before resuming any intense physical activity or exercise. Engaging in high-impact movement too soon can increase blood flow and potentially interfere with the settling of the BOTOX, which could affect your results. Light walking is okay, but hold off on weight training, cardio, and yoga until your injector clears you.

Most patients can enjoy wrinkle-free skin for three to six months after their first BOTOX Cosmetic treatment, although this duration can vary from patient to patient. When the effects of BOTOX start to wear off after a few months, your muscles will begin to relax again, and the wrinkles will return.

Not at all! While injecting BOTOX does “paralyze” the facial muscle, you will still be able to feel sensations when something comes in contact with that particular area.

This is a general guideline for achieving the best results. Patients should remain upright for at least four hours following their injection to ensure that the BOTOX has been properly distributed throughout their face.

Your body will naturally absorb the toxin over time; however, every patient’s body may perform at a different rate. Studies have suggested that speeding up your metabolism with intense exercise may decrease the duration of your botox treatment.

If you are unhappy with your results, please contact our office immediately. If you are concerned about your investment disappearing sooner rather than later, rest assured that your body won’t absorb the neurotoxin much faster than the natural three to six-month period.

No. While massaging the treated area may stimulate blood flow and increase metabolism, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that it accelerates the effectiveness of BOTOX.

That being said, if you rub your face or the area treated during the first few hours after your treatment, you risk spreading the neurotoxin to other areas of your face. This could not only reduce the effects of your procedure but could also be potentially dangerous. If you’ve done this (on purpose or by accident), please contact us immediately so we can assist you.

There is no reversal for BOTOX, but the good news is that it’s not permanent. Results gradually wear off over 3-4 months, and even undesirable results tend to be less noticeable after a few weeks.

Depending on your reason for not liking your BOTOX results, there are ways to improve their appearance. Sometimes, more Botox is necessary, whereas other times, you may need to treat another muscle to counteract the poor result.

A common concern among patients is whether they are ‘too young’ or ‘too old’ to try BOTOX. The good news is that there is no right or wrong age to start BOTOX cosmetic treatment. Many millennials are starting to use BOTOX in their twenties when they first notice lines and wrinkles at rest.

Of course! Thankfully, BOTOX and other wrinkle relaxers are not the type of treatment that you’re stuck doing for the rest of your life, and they won’t mess up your face if you stop using them. If you try it and decide you don’t like it, you are perfectly safe never to use it again.

If you haven’t been using BOTOX for a long time, everything will go back to normal after it wears off. If you have been consistently treating your muscles, they have likely atrophied (shrunk) and will take time to become stronger. However, over time, your muscles will return to their normal state.

You bet! Many patients have issues with only certain areas of their face, or show the most obvious signs of aging in particular regions. Your provider will be able to treat ONLY the desired targeted locations and help you achieve your aesthetic goals. For example, one patient may want to reduce wrinkles in their forehead, while another has small facial lines that they wish to treat. Either way, we will be able to treat those issues without affecting other areas of your face.
