As humans, we show our emotions on our faces. When we are happy, we smile. When we are perplexed or upset, we frown. And until recently, those emotions made an indelible and unwanted imprint on our facial skin that we call wrinkles.

Our clinic offers Botox injectable treatments.

Procedures are carried out by a doctor or one of our highly trained cosmetic nurses under the  direction of the doctor. This, non-surgical, procedure is performed with a small needle. For details about risks, benefits, side effects of botox treatments please contact us at 905-771-0913

A study conducted by an American Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon-Otolaryngologist Head and Neck Surgeons found that Neuromodulaters can actually prevent the signs of aging when treatments are begun earlier in life. The study followed twin sisters over thirteen years beginning at age 25 when one of them began receiving treatments. It was clear at the end of the study, that the twin who had received regular injections did not have frown lines and her crow’s feet were less visible than the untreated twin’s.

The 5 Most Frequently asked questions About Facial Cosmetic wrinkle Injections and How I Respond

Here are the top 5 questions We get asked most often by people considering treatments:

1. How Long Does It Take to Start Working?

It takes approximately 5 days for the medicine to cause the treated muscles to relax. The creases should then begin to smooth out in 1 to 2 weeks. If you have deep creases, it may take a bit longer for the skin to "flatten" out.

2. Are treatments painful?

Discomfort is usually minimal and brief.

3. How long does it last?

The effect usually lasts 3 to 5 months when used to correct wrinkles of the face. First time patients may see the effects subside closer to 3 -4 months while repeat users may enjoy the effects for up to 6 months.

4. Will I experience any side effects?

While side effects are uncommon, they can be treated when they do occur. The most common side effect following injection is a temporary change in position of the eyebrow. Temporary eyelid droop can also occur and can be corrected with eye drops until the effect subsides. In some cases, localized pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or bleeding/bruising may be associated with the injection.

5. Will my facial expressions continue to look natural?

Although the results are visible, cosmetic injection treatment will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look as if you "had something done."

Although the results are visible due to the muscle activity that causes frown lines between the brows being reduced, you can still frown or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases between your brows.
