BOTOX®

What is Botox?

BOTOX® is a revolutionary non-surgical treatment for mild to moderate wrinkles using highly purified botulinum toxin protein refined from the bacterium, Clostridium botulinum administered to relax contractions in the muscle effectively reducing wrinkles.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the most extensively studied medical aesthetic treatments and is approved for cosmetic use in 78 countries, including Canada. BOTOX® Cosmetic has a record of experience that aesthetic providers know and trust

Before & After

Post-treatment care for Botox

For an optimal experience, patients are advised to follow post-treatment recovery instructions carefully.

FOR THE FIRST 4 HOURS…

  • Avoid lying down flat or bending far forward.

FOR THE FIRST 8 HOURS…

  • Avoid rubbing or touching the treated area.

FOR THE FIRST 24 HOURS…

  • Avoid drinking any alcohol.
  • Avoid heavy exercise or any activity that increases your heartbeat.
  • Avoid being in a hot tub or jacuzzi.

There may be redness in the injected area– you can expect this to go down 2-3 hours after treatment. Avoid exposing the treated area to sunlight. If you choose to apply make-up to the treated area, be very gentle with the skin. You may apply an icepack to prevent bruising. If bruising happens, you may cover it with make-up. Arnica cream or pill is helpful for reduction.

Full results are achieved 2 weeks after injection. To schedule a touch-up after 2 weeks, call or email us. Just a reminder: for 72 hours before your next Botox or filler procedure, it is recommended to avoid taking blood-thinning medication such as Ibuprofen, Advil, or Aspirin.
