Frequently asked questions
Are Botox injections painful?
Can I expect immediate results?
Each patient has a different experience. It can usually take up to a week to notice the effects of Botox. In some cases, it can even take up to two weeks for final results.
Is Botox Permanent?
The results of Botox are not permanent but can last up to six months most of the time. Depending on how the Botox is absorbed, the lasting effects can vary. Some may need to maintain the treatment every 3-4 months while others undergo the treatment every six months or longer.
Is the treatment safe?
If the procedure is performed by our certified Botox injectors, then the treatment is completely safe. Additionally, the treatment is also FDA approved for cosmetic use.
Is there anything I have to do to prepare for Botox?
Typically, a week or so before the treatment our medical practitioners will advise patients to hold back from drinking alcohol or taking specific supplements to avoid bruising post-procedure. Consult with our Botox Toronto specialists for more information.
Is it true Botox can help my excessive sweating condition?
Yes, it is true, the Botox is injected to block the nerve signals responsible for sweating. This halts the sweat glands from producing more sweat than usual. Periodic maintenance is usually required every 4-6 months depending on how the nerves revive.
How do I know how much Botox I need for my face?
Factors such as age are considered as well as the deepness of the creases. Depending on the region of the face some areas might require more or less units of Botox.
Can I resume normal activities after my Botox treatment?
After receiving Botox injections, you should wait at least four hours before laying down so that you don’t experience excessive swelling or having the Botox move to other muscles instead of the muscles that were primarily injected.
