Botox® Treatments

You feel energetic.  You feel invigorated.  You feel confident.  But, how you look somehow does not match how you feel.  Botox Cosmetics can help by making you look more refreshed and relaxed.  Botox Cosmetic® revolutionized medical esthetics providing simple, effective and affordable solution to defy aging. With 80% of people considering physical attractiveness important in today’s society, and two in three Canadians wanting to look younger for their age, Botox plays a great role in modern medical esthetics.  Botox Cosmetic is intended to enhance the way you look, not change it.  Regular use of this simple treatment will soften expression lines and the treatment is so quick and easy that you can often have it done over a lunch hour.

Botox Cosmetic® temporarily eliminates or reduces dynamic wrinkles of the face and neck, and these benefits are obtained with little discomfort during a very brief treatment session.  While you may only know Botox Cosmetic as a wrinkle treatment, it has actually been in use for over 18 years for the effective treatment of a range of medical conditions.  In fact, it's been approved for medical use in Canada and in more than 75 countries for 20 different applications.  Today, Botox Cometic has become the most popular physician-administered cosmetic treatment in NOrth America with an estimated 3million treatmens performed annually.  This number is steadily growing as more women and men learn about its age-defying benefits.

How do the facial wrinkles form? With skin aging, losing its natural high moisture content, and repeated frowning, a special pattern of dynamic wrinkles form, giving our faces a characteristic pattern of ‘frown’ (glabella), ‘worry’ lines (forehead), and ‘crow’s feet (sides of the eyes) wrinkles. The photos below readily present the true benefits of Botox Cosmetic® as wrinkles are simply gone within a few days after the Botox application.  This effect will last 3-5 months or longer.
