FAQ

  • Botox® and Dysport® are derived from botulinum toxin type A. When injected into specific muscles, they block nerve signals, preventing muscle contractions. This reduces the appearance of wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions.

  • Botox® can treat:

    • Forehead lines

    • Crows feet around the eyes

    • Frown lines between eyebrows

  • Botox® results typically last 3-4 months before the effects gradually wear off. Regular treatments may extend results over time. Low dosing will cause it to wear off more quickly. Dermal fillers last 6 months – 2 years depending on the type of filler, how much is injected and where it is injected. Biostimulator results can last up to 25 months.

  • Sculptra® is a bio stimulatory aesthetic injectable that helps stimulate your own natural collagen production to smooth facial wrinkles and improve skin tightness.

    How many Sculptra® treatments are required: 2-3 session, 6-8 weeks apart.

  • Treatments are designed to look natural and compliment your features. My approach is to provide treatment in a individualized and gentle manner at incremental/staged to ensure results are subtle and yet sophisticated.

  • Most patients report minimal discomfort during the injection process. No anesthesia is required, and there is usually minimal downtime after treatment. Topical numbing may be applied to enhance your comfort.

  • Botox® and Dysport® results usually appear gradually within 2-7 days after treatment, with full effects visible after about 2 weeks. Filler results are immediate and continue to settle over 2-3 weeks.

  • Botox® is Health Canada-approved and has a long safety record when administered by qualified professionals. However, it is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women or those with certain neurological conditions.

  • Common side effects may include temporary bruising, swelling, or redness at injection sites. These typically resolve within a few days.

  • Pricing varies depending on the areas of the face being treated. A pricing quote will be provided during your complimentary consultation.

  • I recommend that you wait 2-3 weeks for a treatment to settle before judging the results. Touch ups can be done to a Botox® treatment. Dermal fillers can produce swelling that should resolve after 2 weeks. If necessary, dermal fillers can be dissolved in the office.
