Botox

People have this preconceived notion that if you get Botox, your face is going to be frozen and you’ll have no expression or emotion. This is not the case. You do not need to pump your face full of Botox! When it’s done correctly you shouldn’t be able to tell that you have it, except for the fact that you look refreshed and well rested.

One of the nurses that I work with who administers Botox always says, the good thing about botox is that if you don’t like it…it wears off. The bad thing about botox is that it wears off. Lol.

Who’s an ideal candidate? Well if you’re concerned with dynamic lines that have become more apparent over time, then this treatment is great. But don’t get botox just based on what you read about it, if you’re curious go in for a consultation and discuss your concerns, then decide if it’s right for you. The nurse or doctor doing the consultation will address any questions you may have and determine if your expectations are realistic. Botox and fillers are a great alternative to surgery (face lift, brow lift etc.), non-invasive, quick and effective. Botox reduces the activity of the muscle, which over time will create those unwanted deep lines.

We treat men and women, young and old. Clients in there 20’s to early 30’s come in for prevention, less units are used to prolong the aging process. When you get into your 40’s – 50’s, a lot of damage has already been done; more units are used thus making these visits more expensive then if you were to start earlier as a preventative measure.

Botox has been licensed in Canada since 1990 as a safe and effective treatment for a variety of medical conditions. In 2001, Health Canada approved Botox Cosmetic for wrinkle therapy.
