A Level of Expertise that
Only Comes with Focus

People who are breastfeeding, have neurological disease, or are pregnant should not get Toronto Botox injections. You should also not use Botox shots if you are allergic to cow’s milk protein (albumin). Check with a doctor if you have concerns with any of the ingredients in Botox, have bleeding problems, an active respiratory infection, recent eye surgery, heart disease, or muscle/nerve disorders.

Typically, Botox lasts between 3-4 months, although some patients (especially first-timers) may have a longer lasting range of 4-6 months. It also depends on what part of the body has received botox treatment.

At Skinjectables Toronto Botox costs $11/unit, but how many units are needed for the treatment may vary. Typically, the cost to treat frown lines ranges between $200 and $400. Typically 15 – 30 units are required to treat frown lines for a young female patient

Botox injections are an effective, minimally-invasive treatment option for patients who wish to address and even prevent some of the signs of aging, without expensive surgeries that require long recovery periods. With that said, patients can expect little or no downtime or recovery period after their Botox treatment, other than some tenderness at the injection site. Some patients experience mild bruising after botox. The bruising can appear right away, or within 1 or 2 days after the procedure, and will typically last from two days up to two weeks.

Botox or Botulinum toxin is a widely used injectable to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles that develop along the face and neck as we get older. As we make repeated facial expressions, such as frowning or raising our eyebrows, wrinkles are formed in our skin. Over time, these dynamic wrinkles begin to set in, and eventually will become permanently etched into our face. Botox injections are able to temporarily relax the muscles so that they no longer contract and form wrinkles, thereby smoothing out the appearance.

Whether to reverse the signs of aging, prevent aging, or enhance your natural beauty, the Toronto Botox team at Skinjectables can help you achieve your aesthetic goals for long-lasting results worth investing in. Our friendly nurse injectors hold years of industry experience and are ready to work with you to ensure your experience with us is well-informed and comfortable from start to finish.

Skinjectables is committed to offering high-quality fillers and Botox enhancements tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Therefore, the number of units required to provide effective results will depend on your facial muscle strength, the deepness of your wrinkles, and the target area you wish to treat. With that being said, as a rule of thumb, the avervage units for Botox for different regions of the face are:

• Chin: 2 – 6 units (per side)
• Corners of the mouth: 3 – 6 units (per side)
• Crow’s feet: 5 – 15 units (per side)
• Eyebrow: 2 – 5 units (per side)
• Forehead lines: 10 – 30 units
• Frown lines: 10 – 25 units
• Laugh lines: 15 – 50 units (per side)
• Nose lines: 5 – 10 units (per side)
• Neckbands: 25 – 50 units (per side)

Botox injections are a safe anti-aging treatment alternative to invasive surgical options. However, patients will be required to mind the following aftercare instructions listed below. These aftercare instructions are intended to ensure patients heal quickly while optimizing their results. If you have any further questions regarding our aftercare instructions, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.

Aftercare Instructions

• Avoid massaging or rubbing the treatment area for a minimum of 6 hours following your appointment
• Do not perform any strenuous exercise for a minimum of 24 hours
• Avoid lying down on your front after your appointment for at least 6 hours
• Do not ingest alcohol or painkillers for at least 24 hours to prevent bruising in and around the treatment area
• Avoid direct heat exposure for at least 48 hours, including hot baths or showers, saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and tanning beds

Following your Toronto Botox session at Skinjectables, it is typical for a small minority of patients to experience minor side effects, including:

• Headaches
• Bruising or swelling around the injection site
• Mild tenderness
• Fatigue
• Dry or watery eyes

Again, these side effects are expected and will subside in the first 24 – 48 hours following your appointment. However, in the event that you experience prolonged or rare side effects, including shortness of breath, changes in your vision, muscle weakness, difficulty speaking, or trouble swallowing, please seek immediate medical attention as you may be experiencing an allergic reaction to your injections.

Although it is easy to mistake fillers and wrinkle relaxers as being similar, each injectable is used to target different facial concerns. However, both can be used to improve your aesthetics to appear more youthful. Let’s take a closer look at these distinctions in more detail.

Injectable Wrinkle Relaxers

Injectable wrinkle relaxers, also known as Botox in Toronto, treat the underlying facial muscles to smooth out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Functionally, wrinkle relaxers work by temporarily relaxing or weakening specific muscles and preventing the formation of dynamic wrinkles (often the result of common facial expressions) such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.

Dermal Fillers

While cosmetic wrinkle relaxers can do wonders for lines that in constant motion, dermal fillers beautify the areas at rest. Dermal fillers are gel-like substance which are injected into the skin to target the loss of volume, soften and smooth facial wrinkles, and enhance facial contours.

Common uses for dermal fillers include:

• Providing volume to the lips
• Plumping under eye contours
• Restoring volume to cheeks while enhancing cheekbones
• Improving symmetry
• Smoothing fine lines, creases, and folds.
