Toronto Botox

Botox is a purified protein product. When used
in small doses the muscles of frowning, squinting, forehead elevation, and nasal crunch lines can be weakened dramatically so that there is virtually no movement of that muscle group. It can be used in the upper lip, the down turned mouth, and the neck. The depth of the wrinkle decreases and over time there appears to be a slowing of the progression of the lines. The effects of Botox lasts 3-4 months, but with frequent use for 2 years the interval between injections can lengthen.

The best candidate for Botox is a man or woman who is physically healthy, realistic in their expectations, and looking to temporarily treat frown lines and wrinkles of the face and neck. The procedure is often particularly beneficial for younger patients who are demonstrating early signs of aging but are not interested in a facelift or other more extensive procedures.

Botox procedures are typically performed in a surgeon's office. The actual procedure can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour to complete depending upon the size of the area and number of areas being treated. No anesthesia is required.

Patients may experience some local numbness, swelling, bruising or a burning sensation at the injection site during the procedure. There is virtually no downtime associated with Botox and patients are typically able to return to their usual activities right away.

There are few complications associated with Botox, which may include temporary nausea, headache and, for a very small percentage of patients, no visible improvement.
