Botox® in South Surrey and White Rock

Botox® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows in adults.

Botox® Cosmetic works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes persistent lines to form between the brows, on the forehead, and around the eyes.

After a Botox^® injection, the effect gradually begins over several days and is not complete for two weeks, and sometimes longer. The effects of Botox^® therapy often become longer after repeated injections. Botox^® therapy may be  combined with other cosmetic facial procedures such as photo rejuvenation, micro dermabrasion, and filler to enhance the appearance. For maximal results it is recommended that after receiving Botox^® you do not vigorously rub or massage the treated area for 2 hours. You should actively contract the treated muscles (for example, frown or grimace) to increase the response of the Botox^® for two hours following the treatment.

1. Check the Packaging and Labeling: Genuine Botox comes in packaging with specific markings, including the Allergan logo, lot numbers, and expiration dates. Counterfeit products often have misspellings, unclear printing, or lack these details.
2. Verify the Source: Only licensed healthcare professionals and authorized clinics should administer Botox® treatments. If the price seems too good to be true or the provider’s credentials are questionable, it might be a red flag.
3. Look for Official Documentation: A legitimate provider will be able to show you an official vial of Botox® that comes with a hologram on the label, indicating it’s a genuine Allergan product. Ask to see the vial before your treatment.
4. Inquire About the Product’s Origin: Ask your healthcare provider about where they sourced the Botox®. Authorized distributors directly from Allergan ensure the product’s authenticity.
5. Assess the Treatment Process: Genuine Botox® treatments involve a consultation, a clean and professional setting, and proper storage conditions for the Botox® vial. If the process seems rushed, improperly managed, or the environment unprofessional, these could be signs of counterfeit Botox®.
6. Evaluate the Results: While results can vary, ineffective or unusually short-lived results might indicate the use of a diluted or counterfeit product. Genuine Botox® typically shows effects within a few days to two weeks, lasting about 3-4 months.
7. Report Suspicions: If you suspect that the Botox® used in your treatment is counterfeit, report it to the appropriate regulatory bodies and seek advice from a reputable medical professional.

There is no known permanent side effect of BOTOX^® treatment for wrinkles. BOTOX^® has been used for wrinkles sine 1987, and is considered an extremely safe procedure by Doctors. There are several temporary side effects which include pain and possible bruising at the injection site; transient muscle twitching with muscle asymmetry which can be treated without touch up injections; and transient numbness. Less than 1% of patients receiving BOTOX^® can experience temporary eyebrow drooping and/or double vision if the BOTOX^® affects the muscle which move the eye and eyelid. This effect usually only lasts up to four weeks. Some patients may be less sensitive to Botox and the therapy will not work as well for them as expected. Contradictions to BOTOX^® therapy include pregnancy, breastfeeding, active skin infection in the treated area, neurological diseases like myasthenia gravis and the drug penicillamine. Alternatives to BOTOX^® therapy include no treatment, topical creams chemical peels, photo rejuvenation, or surgical face, brow or eyelid lift.

The impact of Botox typically lasts between 3 to 4 months. For those trying Botox for the first time, it’s common to notice the effects diminishing somewhat sooner. Conversely, individuals who have been receiving Botox treatments over a longer period often find that the anti-wrinkle benefits tend to extend progressively with time.

When considering Botox, it’s important to be aware of possible temporary side effects, which may include bruising or a decrease in muscle strength. Equally crucial is the selection of a skilled and certified professional to administer the treatment, as this significantly reduces the likelihood of experiencing adverse effects and ensures the safest, most effective results.

Botox primarily targets three critical facial areas: the forehead for smoothing horizontal lines, the glabella (the region between the eyebrows) to soften frown lines, and the crow’s feet beside the eyes to lessen the visibility of wrinkles that form with facial movements.

Typically, Botox users may experience minor side effects such as temporary redness or swelling at the point of injection, bruising, and sometimes headaches. These effects are usually short-lived, often subsiding within several days.

The appropriate dosage of Botox units varies, taking into account the area of application, the individual’s muscle robustness, and the aesthetic objectives sought. For the forehead, the usual dosage ranges from 20 to 50 units, while for the glabella (the area between the eyebrows), it typically spans from 20 to 30 units.

Indeed, applying vitamin C post-Botox is considered safe and can be beneficial for the skin’s well-being. However, it’s important to apply skincare products gently to prevent undue pressure or rubbing on areas that have received treatment.

Yes, you are allowed to drink coffee after undergoing a Botox treatment. However, it’s wise to moderate your caffeine intake on the day of the procedure to lessen the likelihood of experiencing increased bruising.
