BOTOX® Cosmetic

BOTOX Cosmetic has become the most popular physician-administered cosmetic treatment in North America. It is the only form of Botulinum Toxin approved in Canada for the time being. BOTOX Cosmetic is a medicament which has to be injected as it does not penetrate the skin and it is a highly technique-sensitive procedure. Only well-trained, experienced cosmetic physicians should be trusted and sought out by those interested in having an injectable BOTOX Cosmetic treatment.

BOTOX Cosmetic is mostly known as a “wrinkle” treatment but it has been in use for more than 18 years for a range of medical conditions. It has been approved for medical use in Canada, as well as in 75 other countries, for 20 different applications.

How does BOTOX® Cosmetic work?

1. BOTOX Cosmetic is directed at the facial muscles that cause lines and wrinkles.
2. BOTOX Cosmetic targets dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated muscular contractions such as frowning and squinting.
3. BOTOX Cosmetic works by relaxing the muscles causing the dynamic wrinkles
4. This results in a more refreshed and relaxed appearance
5. Continued use of this treatment softens expression lines which helps to “stop the clock” as far as the development of lines is concerned or even “turn back the hands of time” as far as further deepening of lines.
6. Results are noticeable within 4-5 days
7. Results achieved generally lasts 4-6 months although treated people have noticed longer lasting results
8. The treatment is quick and involves no downtime.

Juvederm^MC Dermal Filler

Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. An aging face results in a loss of or decrease in collagen, loss of fat (predominantly in the mid-face), and loss of bone in the face resulting in the appearance of wrinkles, creases, folds, a loss of elasticity and sunken skin.

HA dermal fillers have revolutionized cosmetic enhancement as these minimally invasive rejuvenation procedures require very little downtime and cause very little discomfort. The HA filler is injected just beneath the skin’s surface to create volume and a softer looking face; facial contours become smoother thus giving a more youthful look.

The success of this facial enhancement procedure depends on the injection technique, which varies with each type of filler, as it is both an art and a science. The physician must have a thorough understanding of HA fillers’ capabilities and limitations.

Treatable lines/areas:

• Worry lines
