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:

• horizontal forehead lines
• vertical creases between your brows (glabellar lines)
• outer eye creases (crow’s feet)
• droopy eyelids
• vertical wrinkles on your lips (smoker’s lines)
• a smoother neck and firmer jawline (Nefertiti lift)

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!

What is Dysport or Botox Treatment?

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.

How does Botox Treatment Work?

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:

• Smoothing out frown and forehead lines
• Ironing out crow’s feet (lines around the eyes) to create a relaxed appearance
• Creating a subtle lift of your eyebrows to open up your eyes, making you look brighter
• Softening chin dimples
• Smoothing away vertical lines along and just above the lips (smoker’s lines)
• Turning up the corners of the lips to prevent marionette lines, and make you look like you’re not frowning all of the time
• Softening an overly angular and prominent jawline by relaxing oversized masseter (jaw) muscles
• Lip flip – gently turning out the lips to make them look fuller and more luscious

Erase the Signs of Ageing with Botox Treatment

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?

MEDICAL USES OF BOTOX & DYSPORT

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.

BOTOX TREATMENT TIME FRAME & RESULTS

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.

FAQs about Botox Treatment

Our Top Tips for Preserving Your Botox Results

If only we could make our Botox results last forever – what a beautiful dream. Unfortunately, we can’t, but there are ways that we can extend the shelf life of our treatment and get the most from our Botox treatment, and the best bang for our buck. Here are some tips and tricks that the medical experts at Therapeutic Aesthetics have collected over our years of experience to extend the effects of Botox between your maintenance touch-up visits.

What to Do Immediately After Your Botox Injection

Do not touch your treatment area! However, gentle movement can help the Botox settle in nicely. Immediately after your injection, you may be asked to do some gentle facial exercises to help the Botox spread and evenly distribute through the target area. This allows your Botox treatment to work faster and prolong your beautiful results.

What to Do Within 24 Hours of Your Botox Injection

Once again: Do not touch your treatment area! We strongly recommend that you do not touch the treatment area for at least 24 hours following your Botox treatment. For the first couple of days, exfoliation is your worst enemy – do not expose your skin to any kind of dermal abrasion, no matter how gentle. Also, refrain from sleeping on the treatment area for at least one to two nights immediately following the treatment. We also recommend avoiding exercise for a few days following your treatment.

HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE!

Drinking lots of water not only keeps wrinkles away, but it really helps to maintain your beautiful Botox treatment. You should also ensure that your skincare regimen includes hydrating products, such as hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid will enhance hydration, reduce inflammation and slow the process through which your body naturally breaks down the Botox.

INVEST IN GOOD, HIGH QUALITY SKIN CARE

If you take proper care of your skin, you can really extend the benefits of your Botox treatment. Your skin care regimen should be moisturizing and hydrating. Your skin care should also contain ingredients that stimulate collagen and elastin production and protect your skin from free radicals. Antioxidants such as Vitamin C protect skin against damage from sun and pollution. A stronger, healthier skin helps prolong the effects of Botox.

AVOID THE SUN

Fun fact: Overexposure to the harsh UV rays from the sun can actually reverse the benefits of Botox. It is critical to always wear SPF when you are out in the sun. Use a high-quality broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin. Try to avoid the outdoors during peak afternoon hours, and be sure to always wear sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat.

EAT AND EXERCISE WELL!

A healthy body leads to healthy skin. That is why we always recommend that clients follow a healthy, balanced diet of fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean protein. Limit your intake of processed, packaged and sugary foods in your diet. These things cause inflammation, which can wreak havoc on your skin. Stress can negatively affect the body in many ways. Surprisingly where it shows up the most is on the skin. High stress situations release hormones which accelerate the aging process, resulting in signs of ageing being very apparent on your face. Avoid stress where possible with stress relief techniques like meditation, mindfulness and yoga.

ALWAYS CONSULT A QUALIFIED SKIN-INJECTOR

The most important way to ensure that you have amazing results from your Botox treatment is to consult a qualified, expert aesthetic medical injector, like one of our many experts at Therapeutic Aesthetics. This will ensure that your treatment results are the most ideal, which will prolong and extend your results.

We make sure that we do a thorough research of your medical history before proceeding with this treatment. We help you achieve results that make you better, not overdone and fake.
