Botox & Dysport (Neuromodulators)

Reduce Facial Wrinkles and More with Botox & Dysport

Botox and Dysport injections are renowned for their ability to reduce facial wrinkles. Beyond aesthetic benefits, these neuromodulators are effective in treating conditions such as bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching), TMJ disorders, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and chronic migraines prevention.

What is BOTOX?

Neuromodulators such as BOTOX® and Dysport® are a class of pharmaceutical medications derived from the Botulinum bacteria. Health Canada Approved, Botulinum toxin type A is an injectable neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles to smooth the skin and reduce the dynamic facial wrinkles.

Why Wrinkles Form

Wrinkles appear over time due to factors including collagen breakdown, hormonal changes, cellular alterations, free radical damage, and muscle movements. Youthful skin is elastic and supple, with minimal lines that disappear when expressions stop. However, as we age, wrinkles become static, visible even when the face is at rest. Muscle contractions over time make these creases more pronounced.

Ultimately even those who follow strict skin care regimens and avoid sun exposure cannot completely avoid muscle contraction. Over time as these facial muscles are used and contract the overlying skin creases become more pronounced and form wrinkles.

How do Neuromodulators work?

Neuromodulators or “anti-wrinkle injections” such as Botox® and Dysport® temporarily block the signals from the nerve to the muscles. The affected muscles don’t contract fully, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Essentially giving you a smoother and more youthful appearance.

The Procedure

Your Botox journey starts with a consultation to choose the right neuromodulator and determine the necessary units. During the procedure, I will examine your facial muscles to identify the optimal injection sites. Small amounts of the neuromodulator are then injected until the desired effect is achieved. The entire process typically takes 25-45 minutes.

Ideal Candidates

Ideal candidates are individuals with mild to moderate upper face wrinkles seeking to smooth existing lines and prevent new ones. Men and women from their 20s to 70s can benefit from this treatment. It’s never too late to start!

Treatable Areas

Results and Recovery

Results can start to show within 24 to 48 hours, with full effects visible in about 10-14 days. Typically, results last three to four months. Neuromodulators require minimal downtime, allowing you to resume everyday activities immediately. However, avoid lying down, exercising, and hot showers for at least 4 hours post-treatment. Complete post-treatment instructions will be provided before you leave the clinic.
