What is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® Injections FDA approved in 2001 (also known as Botulinum Toxin) are perfect for creating a youthful look without undergoing any surgery. As a non-surgical cosmetic procedure, it is famous for reducing the appearance of facial lines like -
-
crow’s feet,
-
frown lines,
-
forehead lines, and wrinkles.
When injected in small doses, BOTOX® visibly smooths the static and dynamic wrinkles to improve the contour of the face.
BOTOX® contains purified bacteria that stop the muscle from contracting for some time. In doing so, Botox can help minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions. The spectre of the ‘frozen face’ and the ‘wind tunnel effect’ is a thing of the past!

Results so natural - you can keep it a secret!
How Does BOTOX® Work?
BOTOX® is a brand name of a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It belongs to a class of drugs known as neurotoxins. When injected, neurotoxins limit muscle activity by decreasing the nerve signals sent to the muscles in the area injected, making them highly effective at treating dynamic wrinkles (movement-related wrinkles).
Another brand name is Dysport.
Dynamic wrinkles, unlike wrinkles caused by a loss of facial volume, develop from repeated muscle contractions. BOTOX® targets muscle contractions at the source to reduce the appearance of these wrinkles.
While BOTOX® limits localized muscle movement, it does not completely stop all movement in the areas injected. It will soften lines and reduce deep wrinkles while still allowing natural expressions to occur. As the pull of the muscle relaxes, the overlying skin ultimately flattens and smooths and will lead to the depreciation of lines.
Receiving BOTOX® injections at our clinic in Oakville is a comfortable and straightforward procedure.
The entire process typically takes no more than 30 minutes.
Botox Treatment
At our complimentary consultations -
-
We first assess your area of concern.
-
We make sure that the BOTOX® Injection treatment is suitable and safe for you based on your medical history and goals.
-
We then strategically point out the treatable areas and begin the injections.
The three approved areas for Botox are -
-
frown lines (11's),
-
forehead lines, and
-
crows feet.
Other areas include lip lines, dimpled chin, and bunny lines. Can also be used for facial shaping or teeth grinding.
The effects of BOTOX® last an average of up to 4 months. As muscle action gradually returns, the lines and wrinkles reappear, and you are ready for another treatment.

Is it safe?
Yes! BOTOX®/DYSPORT have been available for over 25 years and has been used to treat many diseases. In fact, it is used in children as young as 2 years old to treat cerebral palsy. It has been proven to be very safe through extensive testing and research. BOTOX® is an approved drug used to treat patients for cosmetic wrinkles
How is it done?
It is injected with a very tiny needle (it only feels like a little pinch).
Does it hurt?
Most patients say the injections feel similar to a little pinch, although everyone is different.
We usually hear that patients say, “Is that all?”
How quickly does it work?
It can take up to 2 weeks for it to take full effect. Usually we ask patients to wait for the 14 days to fully see the results. DYSPORT has been shown in studies to start working within 3 days and last 2 to 5 weeks longer- this may vary from individual.
