BOTOX COSMETIC®
BOTOX Cosmetic® is one of the most popular non-surgical aesthetic treatments in the world, with over 6 million procedures performed annually. Trusted by women of all ages, BOTOX® helps soften visible signs of aging by targeting dynamic facial lines, including crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles.
As the first and only FDA-approved neuromodulator for cosmetic use, BOTOX® safely and effectively restores a refreshed, youthful appearance, helping you feel confident and comfortable in your skin.
Treatment
BOTOX® is a type of neuromodulator made from purified botulinum toxin. When injected into specific facial muscles, it temporarily relaxes muscle activity, reducing the appearance of wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, or squinting.
At Oakville Plastic Surgery, we take a personalized approach to each BOTOX® treatment. Our experienced injectors assess your unique facial structure to deliver natural-looking, balanced results that enhance your beauty without compromising expression.
How It Works
BOTOX® treatments are quick, minimally invasive, and well-tolerated. Most patients describe the experience as a brief pinching sensation. For enhanced comfort, we can apply a topical anesthetic or cooling prior to injection.
Recovery
One of the key benefits of BOTOX® is the minimal downtime. You may notice slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few hours.
Post-treatment guidelines include:
- Avoid rubbing or massaging treated areas for at least 4 hours
- Stay upright for a few hours post-treatment
- Avoid intense exercise or heat exposure on the day of treatment
