Botox Introduction

Introduction
BOTOX

As a part of the natural aging process, you will lose suppleness to your skin as a result of the loss of subcutaneous fat. The muscles on our face and neck naturally lose their strength, and the skin can lose elasticity. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity, and lifestyle. Seeing an increase in wrinkles and sagging skin can affect our confidence, but it doesn’t have to diminish our self-esteem or lifestyle. By opting for a BOTOX treatment, you can give yourself a much-needed boost with this non-surgical procedure, and our specialists are ready to work with you at our Toronto, ON, clinic today, giving you the youthful skin boost you dream of, with our cutting-edge treatments.

What is BOTOX?

BOTOX is a highly popular cosmetic procedure that doctors have been using for many years to treat a range of issues caused by facial expressions, including facial wrinkles and frown lines. Both FDA and Health Canada-approved, BOTOX works with the neurotoxin being injected directly into the facial muscles and temporarily hindering nerve impulses that are sent to these underlying muscles, limiting their activity. The injected muscle can’t contract which makes stubborn wrinkles relax and soften for a more youthful appearance.

There are also several medical reasons that people receive BOTOX treatments, which could be right for you. A BOTOX injection can be used to combat excessive sweating, migraines, and incontinence. Wrinkle relaxers like BOTOX might be the treatment you have been looking for to alleviate your concerns about aging, and you can also talk to us about how they might benefit you medically.

Candidates
Who are the best candidates for BOTOX?

For anyone looking to reverse the signs of aging that occur naturally without opting for surgical treatment, BOTOX is arguably the most common method. If you experience health issues such as migraines, bladder issues, foot pain, and other types of fine muscle spasms, BOTOX can be a safe, effective, and proven method of treatment. For any cosmetic procedure, it is important to learn all the information so that you can make an informed decision. Call our clinic today and talk to one of our specialists for a consultation before you take the first step.

Unfortunately, patients who have a family history of neuromuscular disease or any other serious medical concerns are not good candidates for this treatment.

Masseter BOTOX injections can also help with Bruxism, a condition in which your jaw clenches and you grind your teeth, which can cause a lot of pain for some people due to the tension and headaches that occur from the condition.

There may be other ways BOTOX can benefit you and alleviate your skin, health, or body issues. Our specialists will give you all the information you need during a consultation about this treatment.

What's the first step?

It’s about you
What’s the first step?

​The first step to getting BOTOX in Toronto is to schedule an initial consultation session. During this session, we will explain what BOTOX is. Your assigned provider will assess your desired outcomes and determine whether you are the right candidate for this procedure. Your consultation session is also your opportunity to discuss any concerns or questions you have. Upon completion of the assessment, our patient coordinator will be able to confirm the price for your procedure.

If you are interested in getting your treatment performed the same day as your consultation, we encourage you to avoid alcohol and blood thinners for about a week before coming in. Doing so will not only help you receive your BOTOX injection sooner but also help produce optimal results.

What to expect on the day of a BOTOX treatment

On the day of your BOTOX or wrinkle relaxer treatment, your assigned specialist will walk you through the procedure and the techniques they will be using. We offer patients the option to apply a topical numbing cream to their skin to ensure there is no pain from the needle itself. Some people get anxious about needles and we will work to make you feel comfortable.

The second step is to administer the BOTOX injections in the areas that have been mapped out and specified by your specialist during your consultation. The procedure itself is quick and non-invasive. The BOTOX treatment can be as short as 20 minutes, but the exact time will depend on the areas being treated on the day of your appointment.

Once the specialist has completed injecting the focus areas, they will clean your skin, and allow you to take a look at their work so you can approve it. If you are happy with what you see, the treatment is complete and you will be free to go about your day as normal.

BOTOX recovery

There is no downtime or extensive recovery needed after getting a BOTOX treatment. Our specialist will give you instructions not to rub or massage the areas injected, to allow time for the BOTOX to set in. Rubbing the skin too hard after getting BOTOX may cause the botulinum toxin to migrate to other areas of the face.

You may experience some soreness after the treatment, which will fade quite quickly if you take care to relax after the procedure. You will need to avoid strenuous activity during the first 24 – 48 hours post-injection. By following the post-procedure instructions from our specialists, you can ensure great results in no time at all!
