Neuromodulating agents (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin) are used in facial rejuvenation treatments to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by muscle contraction (dynamic wrinkles). Our physician will inject a purified, diluted protein into the targeted muscles using tiny needles. By mildly reducing muscle contraction, the procedure reduces fine lines and wrinkles while maintaining natural facial expressions. The result is a more youthful and relaxed appearance.
Treatments with neuromodulators rank number one in the field of aesthetic procedures all over the world, including in Canada. In addition to their use in aesthetic medicine, neuromodulating agents are used in several fields of medicine to treat conditions such as migraine headaches, excessive sweating, strabismus, muscle spasticity, overactive bladder, and other medical conditions.

Here are the steps of an initial consultation:
You will start to see visible results in three days, with the treatment coming into full effect within 10 to 14 days.
Treatment results usually last anywhere from three to six months. The duration can vary depending on an individual patient’s lifestyle, skin condition, age and general health.
There is a possibility of slight redness or swelling in the injection areas immediately after treatment, but these secondary effects normally subside within thirty to sixty minutes. Some people report mild headache for 24 to 48 hours after the treatment.
