Procedures
Neuromodulators (Botox Cosmetic™)
Neurotoxin injections, such as Botox or Xeomin, are utilized to block nerve signals responsible for muscle contractions, primarily targeting facial muscles to reduce wrinkles, including areas like eyebrows and forehead. This procedure is also effective in managing excessive sweating, and combating TMJ. Suitable candidates include individuals seeking to diminish wrinkles or alleviate sweating-related concerns.

How It Works
Evaluation and Preparation
During your visit to our Windsor location, hyperactive muscle areas are assessed and skin is disinfected prior to injections.
Injection Process
Fine needles are used to administer neurotoxin into targeted muscles. Ice or vibration may be applied to alleviate discomfort.
Expected Results
Muscle relaxation typically occurs within 2 – 10 days. Peak effect is reached around 2 weeks after the procedure.
Treatment Duration
Depending on the areas treated, sessions last between 10 to 20 minutes. For sweating treatment, multiple injections cover the affected area.
Aftercare
Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising may occur post-treatment. Potential side effects include headache, neck pain, or flu-like symptoms. Avoid rubbing the treated area for 12 hours and refrain from sleeping on your face the first night.
Recovery and Maintenance
Muscles regain function as neurotoxin breaks down. Repeat injections are typically required every 4-6 months for wrinkle reduction. Sweating management may necessitate maintenance every 8-10 months.
FAQ
Who is ineligible for neurotoxin injections?
Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and those with conditions causing muscle weakness such as motor neurone disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) or myasthenia gravis, cannot undergo this procedure.
What are the potential risks associated with neurotoxin injections?
Rare risks include eyebrow drooping, crooked smile, or drooling. Immediate medical attention is advised if any of these symptoms occur.
How long do the effects of neurotoxin injections last?
Results typically last 4-6 months for wrinkle reduction and 8-10 months for sweating management, necessitating periodic maintenance injections.
Filler treatments in addition to Botox Cosmetic™ may prolong the effects:
