We get it. We know how you feel. You’re at a point in your life where your outer appearance just doesn’t match how you feel. Lines, wrinkles, and creases on your face make you look tired and old, which in turn makes you feel that way too. Skincare products and makeup can no longer hide these signs of ageing.
You work hard. You dedicate most of your time to taking care of others. Now, it’s time to take care of yourself. Our highly experienced medical injectors are here to accommodate you. After all, you deserve to be taken care of too. We never oversell or push treatments on to you that you don’t need and we are always transparent about pricing. Our injectors know what they’re doing.
In fact, many of our injectors train other injectors and medical professionals worldwide. So we have the best injectors because we train the best injectors.
Therapeutic Aesthetics was the first aesthetics institution and resource centre in Canada to create a standardized and formal educational foundation in non-surgical aesthetic medicine. We are global leaders in the field of aesthetic medicine.
You want to look better. And in 15 minutes or less, you can.
A simple Botox or Dysport treatment can change your face for the better. You’ll look refreshed and brighter. Imagine how much better you’ll look and feel without:
There have been many studies proving the effectiveness of Botox and Dysport. One 2016 study found that patients enjoyed a significant reduction of wrinkles after their Botox treatment over 4 months. Results remained consistent from the first to sixteenth week after their treatment. That’s why, in general, we recommend a touch-up treatment at 4 months to keep you looking great! (Botox and Dysport aren’t a permanent way to smooth away wrinkles. They both achieve temporary results.)
Botox and Dysport help delay ageing in 15 minutes, without downtime
The staff at Therapeutic Aesthetics knows that the natural ageing process causes our skin to change…for the worse. Every time we make a facial expression, or even eat, drink, or speak, we form wrinkles. This is because repetitive movement of the muscles causes our skin to crease, leading to prominent lines and wrinkles. It only gets worse with age.
Yes, ageing is a natural process, but you don’t have to surrender to its effects!
Botox and Dysport are FDA approved purified proteins that are known as neuromodulators.
NEUROMODULATOR neu·ro·mod·u·la·tor
n. a substance that affects the transmission of a nerve impulse but isn’t the means of transmission on its own
So, when Botox or Dysport is injected into a targeted muscle at Therapeutic Aesthetics, it affects the nerve impulse of that muscle by temporarily weakening it. This means that the muscle is unable to contract as much. When your brain tells the muscle to move, it will do so mildly or not at all (depending on the dosage of Botulinum toxin injected).
You can say that there is “freezing” of the targeted muscle, though it’s not by temperature. Instead, it’s by botulinum toxin. “Freezing” can be from minimal to moderate depending on the type of look you want.
One clear advantage of Dyport over Botox is that patients see results quicker. Dyport takes effect on average 2-5 days after injection as compared to 4-7 days with Botox. Both drugs are thought to function exactly the same, by blocking nerve signals to the muscles. Although Dysport contains a smaller molecule size and different chemical variation of botulinum toxin which accounts for its faster rate of onset.
Studies show that Dysport starts to act within 24 hours of injection, and can last up to 6 months in some cases! Dysport acts as an anti-ageing substance. Use it to reduce skin wrinkles and as a preventative measure to avoid wrinkles from forming or worsening.
It’s a good idea to know how Botox and Dysport work, because then you can figure out if it’s right for you. Getting insight into Botox treatment will bring trust & transparency, which are important. So, how does Botox Treatment work?
Let’s look at your muscles first.
Muscle contraction is the primary cause of wrinkles on your face. Blame it on Acetylcholine.
Botox and Dysport essentially work on your nervous system. They prevent Acetylcholine from being released.
When Botox or Dysport is injected into your facial muscles, it blocks a set of signals that arise from the nervous system. The Acetylcholine chemical is one of them. All the signals that Botox or Dysport blocks are directly or indirectly linked to your muscle contraction.
As it blocks those signals from arising, muscle contraction can’t occur, which in turn, keeps the overlying skin smooth. It’s that easy.
If you have wrinkles that are visible, even when you’re not moving your face, then Botox or Dysport may not be right for you. Those wrinkles, known as “static” wrinkles, are better treated with dermal fillers. Often, our patients find a combination of Botox & Dysport and dermal fillers is best to wipe away all the wrinkles they want to get rid of.
Top uses of Botox include the following:
Our injectors have treated thousands of men and women across Canada with Botulinum toxin (Botox®, Dysport®). This is a simple, non-surgical treatment that smoothes away moderate to severe wrinkles. These wrinkles can be between the brows, across the forehead, at the corners of the eyes, around the lips and on the neck.
But did you know Botox and Dysport can do more than erase wrinkles?
STOP Excessive sweating – Hyperhidrosis with Botox and Dysport
Do you sweat too much?
Dysport or Botox can successfully eliminate excessive sweating.
What causes hyperhidrosis? Eccrine sweat glands are particularly numerous on the feet, palms, face, and armpits. When your body is overheated, when you’re moving around, when you’re feeling emotional, or as a result of hormones, nerves activate the sweat glands. This is how you sweat. When those nerves overreact, it causes hyperhidrosis.
Teeth Grinding and Migraine Headaches
Temporomandibular (TMJ) syndrome is a medical condition that causes pain in your jaw. It is often caused by grinding of teeth, especially during sleep or at times of stress. Botox and Dysport can effectively treat TMJ by relaxing the jaw muscles, so you no longer grind your teeth.
A migraine is known to be a very undesirable throbbing headache. It usually impacts one side of the head and can lead to feelings of nausea and an increased sensitivity to light or sound. Some may experience migraines several times a week where others can experience the excruciating headache every few years.
Although, the exact cause of migraines is unknown, medical experts suggest that it is a result of temporary changes in the chemicals, nerves, and blood vessels in the brain. For people who are prone to migraines they usually associate the triggers to the start of their period, stress, fatigue, or certain foods or beverages. Genetics can also play a role when it comes to the various factors attributed to migraines.
Chronic migraines can be controlled with Botox and Dysport treatment. After the Botox injections are completed, it may take up to 10-14 days or longer to feel relief. If the first session does not help your migraine symptoms, then additional treatments may be needed for the Botox to become effective.
The entire treatment takes around 15-30 minutes. There are no restrictions after that. You can continue with your routine immediately afterward. How great is that?
Once you complete the treatment, it takes around 2-3 days for you to see the results. Those wrinkles will soften and then disappear from your face whenever you make facial expressions. The time frame for the results to show may vary between 2 to 5 days. The full results might take 2 weeks to see. So, please be a bit patient.
The results last for around 3-4 months for the first three treatments. Once you get regular treatments performed, you can enjoy results that last 6 months or more!
After that time, Botox and Dysport start to wear off. That means the wrinkles that disappeared may start reappearing. Fear not – a touch-up will eliminate those wrinkles once again.

One of our expert medical injectors will inject a very small amount of purified botulinum toxin into the targeted area.
This injection temporarily relaxes the targeted muscles, causing fine lines and wrinkles to diminish. The effect lasts approximately 3 to 4 months. It can last last even longer with regular treatments.
A Botox injection feels like any other injection.
Our expert medical aestheticians will numb the target area with a topical anesthetic if necessary to make your Botox experience ultra-comfortable.
Injections can always be a little uncomfortable, but the needles we use for Botox treatment at our Toronto/Burlington clinic are extremely tiny.
Sometimes, the pokes are barely even felt and each poke just lasts for about a second.
This is the perfect lunch hour remedy as there is no downtime. The treatment takes about 15 minutes.
Botox treatment is a non-surgical skin treatment method. Treatments can be performed within minutes and require no anesthesia.
Topically applied numbing cream can be administered if needed.
You are eligible to get Botox Treatment if you are 18 or above and healthy.

At Therapeutic Aesthetics, we believe in helping our patients look as natural as possible. We will inject just enough to appropriately weaken and relax the targeted muscle area without overdoing it or affecting any other muscles.
This injection strategy allows our clients to maintain their natural facial expressions. Botox therapy does not affect your ability to feel whatsoever.
It is safe to have another Botox treatment or a touch-up appointment when your skin concerns return once again.
Usually this is after a few months. Repeated Botox treatments will extend your results.
Any side effects that you develop from your Botox injection will be very mild and temporary, and can include swelling, redness, soreness, mild bruising, mild headache, and muscle weakness.
Very rarely, you may experience botulism poisoning, including problems breathing, swallowing, or speaking.
