Neuromodulators, like Botox, relax facial muscles to soften and prevent wrinkles while giving you a natural, well-rested appearance. Beyond Botox, there are other recognized brands like Xeomin, Dysport®, and Nuceiva®, all approved by Health Canada for fine lines and wrinkles.
These neuromodulators are injected in precise amounts into specific facial muscles, offering a quick and comfortable solution that takes less than 15 minutes. This makes Botox and Xeomin popular choices among people seeking a more youthful and refreshed appearance without downtime or disruption to busy schedules.
Apart from neuromodulators, other cosmetic procedures such as fillers, laser treatments, and radiofrequency microneedling also have benefits, but nothing performs quite like the muscle-modulating treatment of neuromodulators, and when used together, results are outstanding.
An experienced dermatologist can help plan a personalized 360-degree approach that achieves your skin goals and outlines the first steps and maintenance to keep you looking and feeling your best.
Beyond the usual areas, such as the forehead and around the eyes, Botox can also treat the following areas: 
You’ll start noticing the effects within 24-72 hours, with the full impact becoming visible around the 2-week mark. The strongest transformation occurs in the 6-8 weeks following treatment.
While the effects gradually diminish after this period, maintaining a consistently refreshed look is achievable. We recommend treatments every 3-4 months, totaling 3-4 sessions annually for optimal and enduring results.
Botox treatments have an excellent safety record, especially when administered by our experienced and skilled dermatologists.

But don’t just take our word for it! All neuromodulators administered in Canada are approved by Health Canada for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles.
Botox treatments are a breeze! The process is quick, using the tiniest needles, a bit of ice for numbing, and our dermatologists’ signature gentle touch and distraction techniques. The potential for bruising is minimal, with any redness fading within 20-30 minutes. Â
After treatment, avoid lying down for 4 hours and refrain from exercising until the next day. As the Botox takes effect (within 24-72 hours), the treated area might feel a bit unusual—tight or heavy. This is a temporary sensation as your brain adjusts to the muscle’s response. Rest assured, it’s a minor inconvenience for the fantastic results.
Botox is dosed in units, and the number of units depends on the area being treated and the strength of the muscles involved. Treatments can range from 25 units to over 100 units. Our dermatologists start with a conservative yet effective approach that is tailored to your needs.Â
Neuromodulators are priced per unit so the cost of treatment will depend on the area(s) treated and the strength of the muscles.
