Botox Cosmetic® is the #1 cosmetic procedure of its kind in North America today and the only approved treatment to temporarily improve frown lines and crow’s feet. It has been available in Canada for over 16 years. Botox Cosmetic® is a safe, non-surgical and non-invasive solution to smooth frown lines and wrinkles. Many people desire a younger and more vibrate appearance and are not ready for a surgical procedure. Botox Cosmetic® provides a safe, simple and highly effective solution to take control of the aging process and to look more refreshed and revitalized.
How does Botox work?
Botox Cosmetic® is injected into the muscle or under the dermis depending on the upper facial area treated. It soothes the treated muscles, preventing them from contracting. Botox Cosmetic® can be used to treat horizontal forehead lines, crow’s feet and frown lines between the eyebrows.
What to expect from Botox Cosmetic®
This lunchtime treatment involves a few small injections using a very fine needle. The muscle begins to relax in a few days with peak results in a few weeks. We advise you to come back for a recheck appointment to assess the results at this time. The effects of Botox Cosmetic® usually last approximately three to four months, at which time another injection is required to maintain results. After repeated treatments, the effects often begin to last longer and therefore less frequent treatments may be required.
Our team of certified injectors works under the supervision and direction of Dr. Michael Bense. All of our patients are assessed by Dr. Bense prior to receiving any aesthetics treatment, providing a comprehensive and consultative approach with both surgical and non-surgical options to consider. Our entire team stays current with new treatments and technologies through memberships and regular continuing education. Our Clinic Director, Kristine Feaver-Noseworthy has over 30 years of nursing experience and has worked in the field of cosmetic aesthetics for 16 years.
