Botox® - Cosmetic
Benefits/How It Works
Benefits:
Smoother, more youthful-looking skin is now possible without surgery thanks to BOTOX® Cosmetic. Victoria, BC women and men have discovered BOTOX® can dramatically reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles such as frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines. BOTOX® can also raise the brows, soften lines around the lips or neck and raise the corners of the mouth.
BOTOX® can achieve significant improvement in dynamic wrinkles - those caused by repeated facial movements such as frowning and squinting. Although BOTOX® does work by relaxing muscles, you shouldn't worry about looking "frozen." At Cosmedica in Victoria, BC, BOTOX® treatments are performed by dermatologist Dr. Lupin. Most patients find their results look naturally rejuvenated and their facial expressions are not impeded.
If you're considering a Victoria, BC BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment, send us an email or call us at (50) 598-3300 or (877) 598-3380. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Mark Lupin understands the significance of patient safety and comfort. His practice is dedicated to providing high-quality cosmetic medical care for patients in Victoria and on Vancouver Island.
How It Works:
A tiny amount of BOTOX® is injected into the muscles that create wrinkles. This temporarily blocks nerve impulses from reaching the area, allowing muscles to relax and the skin to lie smooth.
Treatment with BOTOX® is quick and comfortable, usually taking less than 15 minutes. You can get back to your usual routine right away - no downtime is required. You may see some mild swelling and bruising, but these effects should fade quickly.
Results typically take several days to appear and will last for an average of 3 to 6 months. Treatment with BOTOX® is repeatable, so you can maintain your results.
You may be able to achieve more comprehensive and satisfying results by adding other skin care services in Victoria such as dermal fillers, Fraxel® laser resurfacing, microdermabrasion, photorejuvenation or Sonalift™. Dr. Lupin can discuss your options for combined procedures.
