BOTOX® in Toronto

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

Our specialists use a numbing agent or a topical numbing gel for all our patients before administering any 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 happy with one session, others require more. For optimum results that are longer lasting, we recommend booking follow-up appointments every 3-4 months to maintain your youthful look. To discuss how many appointments you will need for your treatment, call us today for a consultation.

Once the mild swelling has subsided in the treatment area, you will begin to see results between 5-7 days after your procedure. We guarantee you will be satisfied with the results, and feel on top of the world when you start to receive 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.

If you receive BOTOX injections for medical issues, you will notice an improvement in your health within a few days, underlying the important benefits BOTOX has beyond aesthetic treatment.

Yes, you can combine BOTOX and wrinkle relaxers with other treatments, which many of our patients opt to do at our Toronto clinic. A common treatment to combine is Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Dermal Fillers, Lip Fillers, or a Chemical Peel, which our specialists can schedule during your appointment.

If you are interested in combining other treatments or surgeries with your BOTOX or wrinkle relaxer, call us today for a consultation. We will give you all the information you need so that you can make an informed decision.

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

Our specialists maintain a clean, sterilized environment to make sure you are given top-notch service. There is also the risk of not being completely satisfied with your results, which may be rectified by follow-up appointments. If you have concerns about any potential risks related to BOTOX or wrinkle relaxers, call us today for a consultation.

Most patients can enjoy their wrinkle-free skin from the BOTOX cosmetic for three to six months after their first treatment, but that can vary on a patient-to-patient level. 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 just a general rule of thumb to achieve 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. There have been studies that suggest things like speeding up your metabolism with intense exercise may quicken the absorption. Intense stress may also play a factor, however, we don’t encourage intentionally replicating this one.

If you are unhappy with your results, please contact our office immediately. If you are just concerned about your investment disappearing sooner rather than later, rest easy knowing 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 actual evidence that it will make BOTOX go away faster.

That being said – if you rub your face or the area that was treated during the first few hours after your treatment, you run the risk of 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 feel like you’ve done this (either on purpose or by accident) please contact us immediately so that we can help.

There is no reversal for BOTOX, but the good news is that it’s not permanent and results gradually wear off over 3-4 months. 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 make it look better. Sometimes the answer is actually that 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 if they are ‘too young’ or ‘too old’ to try BOTOX. The good news is that there is no right or wrong age to begin the BOTOX cosmetic treatment! Many millennials are starting to use BOTOX in their twenties when they first start to notice lines and wrinkles or as a preventative measure.

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 that you don’t like it, you are perfectly safe to never use it again.

If you haven’t been doing BOTOX long then everything will go back to normal after it wears off. If you have been doing consistent treatments, the muscles have likely atrophied (shrunk) and will take time to become stronger, however, over time, your muscles will return to normal.

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 whereas another has small facial lines that they are looking to treat. Either way, we will be able to treat those issues without affecting other areas of your face.
