It’s a safe, non-invasive procedure, that usually can be performed in 15 minutes with rare minimal to no side effects. No sedation or anaesthetic is needed because pain is very minimal, and has been compared to a bug bite. You can expect to see results within days after the treatment, and the effects will last for 3 - 4 months.
Botox Cosmetic® has been used for over 17 years as an effective and safe treatment for a range of medical conditions, including hyperhidrosis. It has been approved for medical use in Canada and more than 75 countries for 20 different applications.
The most common areas include the frown lines between the eyebrows, the horizontal lines that run across the forehead and the crow’s feet around the outer eye.
When administered by an experienced physician, you can still smile, frown and show expression. The treatment only targets and relaxes the muscle beneath the lines at the point of injection, so the other elements of facial expression remain active. It has no effect on the sensory nerves, so normal feeling remains in the treated areas.
The effects usually last up to four months, and after repeat treatments the effects may begin to last longer.
There are very few restrictions on the use of Botox Cosmetic®; however, people who are pregnant, nursing or have any severe neurological disease should not be treated.
