Overview Of Botox® Treatments

Reduce the appearance of wrinkles with neuromodulators in Vancouver, BC. Facial lines develop over time due to the effects of sun exposure, aging, muscle activation, baseline skin quality, and genetics. These lines can contribute to looking older and more tired than you may feel. Some patients also comment that they feel like their facial lines make them look angry. Fortunately, some of the effects of aging can be slowed and reversed. Botox® is a great option to address facial lines and wrinkles, as a safe, non-surgical treatment. This is a very popular non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedure, with the goal to refresh, and re-energize your look and feel.

What Is Botox®?

Botox® is a neuromuscular modulator. It is Botulinum Toxin Type A and has been used therapeutically for many years for a variety of medical conditions. The molecule works to temporally block the nerve stimulation of specific muscles to weaken their contraction. It is these contractions that lead to lines and wrinkles, and therefore, by reducing the underlying tension of the muscle, the overlying skin appears more relaxed and smooth. Common areas treated include:

• Frown lines between the eyebrows.
• Creases across the forehead.
• Crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes.
• Fine lines around the mouth.

The Botox® Procedure: What To Expect

Prior to your neuromodulator injections, a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure patient comfort. Botox® is injected directly into the muscles in the areas desired to be treated using a very fine needle. Usually, ice on the skin beforehand is all that is needed to prevent any discomfort. The injections are performed in the office with no significant discomfort and no required downtime.

Recovery After Botox® Injections

Botox® injections are performed in the office with no required anesthetic. You will be able to go home after the procedure to relax and recover or return to work and regular activities that day if desired. The refreshed results usually appear within the first 48-72 hours. Depending on your initial goals, you will still be able to smile, and convey emotion through your facial expressions, without the wrinkles. The results can last 4-to-6 months and can be maintained with subsequent touch-up injections.

This is an excellent option for patients who would like to look and feel refreshed, without having the downtime from surgery.

Cost Of Botox® Treatments
