Botox®
Botox®
Botox® is a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment that is used to temporarily reduce the appearance
of wrinkles and fine lines. It is a purified form of botulinum toxin, which is injected into the muscles that
cause wrinkles to relax and smooth out the skin. Botox® is a safe and effective way to achieve a more
youthful and refreshed appearance.
Botox® is commonly used to treat the following:
- Wrinkles on the forehead, especially between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
- Migraines
- Muscle spasms
- Non-surgical brow lift
- Jaw shaping
- Pelvic pain reduction
- Bruxism (teeth grinding) prevention
- …and more!
Whether you’re looking to smooth out wrinkles, reduce excessive sweating, or alleviate migraines,
Botox can help you achieve your goals with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Who is a good candidate for Botox®?
Almost all patients are great candidates for Botox®, whether they’re keen on having a preventative anti-aging regiment or want to diminish the appearance of fine lines.
It is important to have realistic expectations for Botox® as this is a temporary procedure that needs to be repeated. When you book your consultation, we can provide further guidance on how many months/weeks should be between treatments.
What are the results of this procedure?
Each patient’s Botox® journey will differ depending on their age, the area that is being treated, and lifestyle factors. It can take up to 14 days or less for our clients to see and feel visible results.
Botox® sessions are relatively quick (30 minutes or less), and the majority of our clients resume their regular schedule right after the procedure. If you are interested in learning more about Botox, please schedule a consultation and our doctors or nurses can provide guidance as well as a suggested treatment package!

Lastly, your doctor may advise you to avoid exercise for the first day after your injections.

Our clients can typically start to see results from Botox within a few days to a week after treatment. However, the full effects of the treatment may take up to two weeks to become fully visible.
How long do results last?
The results of Botox typically last for three to four months, after which the muscle activity gradually returns and the wrinkles and fine lines may become more visible again.
