Botox
BOTOX Cosmetic® is the most popular cosmetic treatment in Canada. BOTOX® is a purified protein that works by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles temporarily reducing or eliminating frown lines, crows feet around the eyes, forehead wrinkles. A treatment can leave you feeling smoother and fresher.
Botox Cosmetic, when administered in a medical setting, using the purified protein works by blocking the release of a chemical from nerve cells to the muscles. The muscles stop contracting in the same way as before and the result is a smoother look to the skin as expression lines are virtually removed.
In 20 minutes or less, small injections are given at various different frown or expression lines over the face. The muscles at the site of the injection relax leaving you with a smoother face. Since the injections are placed just under the skin , nothing else is affected and your expressions remain natural. This is a walk in walk out treatment that no one will ever know you have had unless you tell them!
Our motto at BC laser is to provide you with treatments that leave you refreshed without looking frozen and our results for Botox in Vancouver typically last 3 to 4 months and with repeated use the effects can last even longer.
Cosmetic Botox is most commonly used for the deep frown lines in the middle of your forehead. These are known as glabellar frown lines. Forehead wrinkles and crows feet ( the wrinkles lines around your eyes) can also be treated as can mouth frowns, upper lip wrinkles and wrinkles in the neck. Botox is not used to treat lines that form around the mouth to the nose ( smile lines) as these are better treated with collagen builders such as Radiesse or Sculptra , which generate collagen in the skin or with Hyaluronic Acid fillers such as Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, and Voluma which work by filling in the lines . Treatments with fillers can last from 6 months upto 3 years.
At BC laser, we use Botox cosmetic with other treatments such as chemical and laser peels to give your clear looking, wrinkle free skin that looks like you ….just a little younger.
