FAQ: Cosmetic Injectables

Anti-Wrinkle and Therapeautic Neurotoxin Treatments

Approved by Health Canada, neurotoxins treat wrinkles and release tension by temporarily reducing muscle movement.

  • Neurotoxins (a.k.a neuromodulators) are neuro-muscular blockers that can temporarily cause muscles to relax.

    Controlled amounts of the formula are injected into the target muscle to treat wrinkles and release tension in certain areas.

    • Forehead wrinkles

    • Glabella (frown lines between your eyebrows/11’s)

    • Crows Feet (the wrinkles beside your eyes)

    • Bunny Lines (the wrinkles beside your nose)

    • Lip Flip and Gummy Smile

    • Jawline Slimming

    • Chin Dimples

    • Neck bands

    • Lower face lift

    • Teeth Grinding/Jaw Clenching (Bruxism)

    • Smile Lift

  • Neurotoxin starts to take effect as early as 3-4 days and you will see the full effect in 2 weeks.

  • On average, anti-wrinkle injections last 3-4 months, however, this varies from person to person.

    The duration of your anti-wrinkle injections will depend on factors such as dosing, your metabolism, and the amount of facial expressions you do on a daily basis.

    Anti-wrinkle injections tend to last longer on frequent long-term users, with some clients seeing results last as long as 5-6 months. For this reason, if you consider yourself a long-time ‘tox user, you may only need treatment 2 times per year with consistently great results.

Hyaluronic Acid Filler Treatment

Approved by Health Canada, Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers are made to restore lost volume, enhance facial features, sculpt, shape, and build structure.

  • Dermal Fillers are made of hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is found naturally in the body.

    HA Dermal Fillers work by integrating with the skin tissue and holding in water at the treatment site. It adds temporary volume, hydration, and a smoother appearance to the skin.

    Our dermal filler products contain lidocaine for a more comfortable procedure as this numbs the treatment area within seconds.

  • Filler can be used to restore, sculpt, hydrate, and shape:

    • Lip volume

    • Cheek volume

    • Chin shaping

    • Jawline sculpting and contouring

    • Nasolabial folds

    • Marionette lines

    • Undereyes (tear troughs)

    • Facial balancing

  • You will see results instantly, but the full effect of the treatment will be after full healing (2 - 3weeks).

    Right after the treatment, you may experience:

    Redness

    Swelling

    Bruising

    Tenderness

    It is important to remember that your aesthetic goals are a journey, and it may take several treatments to achieve your final desired look.

  • On average, Dermal Fillers last 9 months - 2 years.

    The duration of the filler will depend on factors such as:

    • Product type (concentration of HA, cross linking technology)

    • Treatment area

    • Dose

    • Your metabolism

  • Prices and packages for fillers are listed in the booking schedule.
