Botulinum toxin injections – BOTOX Cosmetic®

 Botox is a substance produced by a bacteria (Clostridium botulinum), which was purified multiple times to reach the product used clinically.

 

 

Botox injections are now the most popular non-surgical procedures in North America. It is a safe and effective treatment to treat facial wrinkles.

 

 

 

 

Botox relaxes and loosens the muscles responsible for wrinkles and fine lines.

 

 

 

 

 

Botox is injected through fine needle in facial areas where wrinkles are found. The most commonly treated areas are the forehead, glabella (region between the eyebrows) and “crow’s feet” (region lateral to the eyes).

 

 

 

 

 

The injections are not painful and you can return to normal activities immediately after the procedure.

 

 

 

The Botox’s effect starts to be noticed after seventy-two hours (72 h) and lasts approximately four to six months, depending on each patient. Product reinjection is usually necessary to maintain the long-term natural effect.

During your visit at the Polyclinique Centre-Ville, the expected results, possible side effects and post-injection recommendations will be given to you so that you can be well informed about the procedure.
