Neuromodulators  

Botox ® & Dysport ®

WHAT IS BOTOX COSMETIC® OR DYSPORT ® ?

BOTOX COSMETIC® and Dysport ® are neuromodulators approved by Health Canada for cosmetic treatments. BOTOX COSMETIC® and Dysport ® cosmetic treatments aim to enhancing your youthful facial appearance by reducing, eliminating or preventing the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. BOTOX COSMETIC® and Dysport ® work by temporarily relaxing the muscle where the product is injected resulting in a smooth appearance.  BOTOX COSMETIC® may also be used to treat chronic migraine headaches, reduce pain from grinding or clenching your teeth and reduce excessive sweating***.

***Some insurance companies cover the cost of BOTOX COSMETIC® needed to reduce excessive sweating. 

 

HOW DOES BOTOX® OR DYSPORT ® WORK?

Repeated muscle contractions used to make facial expressions can eventually lead to wrinkles and creases in the skin. Overactive muscles or repetitive use of certain facial muscles can result in fine lines and wrinkles. BOTOX COSMETIC® and Dysport ® injections work by helping the muscles stay relaxed, reducing and preventing fine lines and wrinkles. Nurse Kali will administer BOTOX COSMETIC® or Dysport ® to manage the root cause of facial lines and wrinkles. Muscle movement will be temporarily limited in the targeted areas, resulting in a smoother appearance of your skin along with the benefits of preventative ageing.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING MY BOTOX ® OR DYSPORT ® TREATMENT?

Nurse Kali will review your medical history, medications, allergies, and determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment. Next you will discuss your treatment goals and nurse Kali will a recommended dose of BOTOX COSMETIC® needed to target your treatment areas. Nurse Kali will review the treatment alternatives and possible side effects and risks of  BOTOX COSMETIC® or Dysport ® treatment before taking your pre-treatment photos and marking your your face for treatment. After cleansing  your skin, you will receive your BOTOX COSMETIC® or Dysport ® injections using tiny needles. Ice packs and a vibration tool are available to minimize treatment discomfort. Your initial appointment will be approximately 30-40 minutes, but thereafter, appointments will be less than 20 minutes. 

 

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER MY TREATMENT?

Once treated with BOTOX COSMETIC® or Dysport ®, your results start to become visible within 72 hours although it may up to 14 days to see visible significant improvement. After your treatment, follow-up is recommended 2 weeks later to review the response of your neuromodulator injections. You can resume their regular daily activities after treatment, but be sure to avoid strenuous exercise and heat for 24 hours to avoid the migration of injections to an unintended area. Also, do to not press or push on the treatment areas with BOTOX COSMETIC® or Dysport ® and be sure to remain upright for 4 hours. The results can last from 3-4 months.

 

HOW LONG WILL BOTOX COSMETIC® OR DYSPORT ® LAST?

Depending on the extent of your wrinkles and the areas that need to be treated, you may need to visit three to four times in the first year. The results last between 3 to 4 months and less injections may be needed with regular treatment as your muscles adapt to the relaxation effect of the BOTOX COSMETIC® or Dysport ®.  Since individuals respond differently, nurse Kali will advise you on the optimal number of treatments in a year to maintain your results.

 

WHAT ARE THE RISKS &  SIDE EFFECTS OF BOTOX COSMETIC® OR DYSPORT ®?

Mild bruising and a minor headache are common side effects that resolve within a day or two. In rare instances, one might experience an eyelid or eyebrow droop which also resolve in two to three weeks. Allergic reactions are very rare and uncommon. When a qualified and experienced health care practitioner administers the injections, most other problems listed are not seen.
