Botox in Burlington

Wrinkles typically develop with age. You might see some of them around your eyes and mouth when you smile, only to vanish or soften as quickly as they appeared. These are called dynamic wrinkles. Permanent, or static wrinkles are always visible, regardless of your expression.

At Cosmedica Aesthetics, we use Nuceiva and Botox in Burlington to directly address dynamic wrinkles, giving you a smoother and more refreshed appearance. For static wrinkles, on the other hand, we use dermal fillers.

Wrinkle relaxer treatments are simple, taking only 30 minutes to complete, and you won’t need to take any down time.

You’ll begin to see the initial results of the treatment after about 4 to 5 days. The full results may take about 14 days to develop. We offer follow-up appointments at the 2-week mark to assess your results and provide a complimentary facial. We also offer a complimentary touch up to address asymmetry, if any.

Both Botox and Nuceiva are approved by Health Canada and are clinically proven to effectively relax wrinkles. At Cosmedica Aesthetics, we take your safety seriously. Our talented nurse injectors assess your needs and medical history and can answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Yes, post-care is important for minimizing side effects. After treatment, please follow the instructions below:

• Avoid herbal supplements such as ginko, green tea, and anti-inflammatories of any kind for 1 week following treatment to limit bruising.
• For the first 5 to 6 hours following Botox/Nuceiva injections, remain upright and periodically perform facial movements in and around the treatment areas in order to work the Botox/Nuceiva into the muscle —e.g., smile, squint, etc.
• Do not participate in activities that include heavy lifting, vigorous exercise, or straining for 2 to 3 hours.
• Do not rub, touch, or manipulate the Botox/Nuceiva for 6 hours. This will prevent the medicine from migrating to unintended areas.
• Avoid skin-irritating products for 24 hours following your Botox/Nuceiva injections.
• You may gently apply makeup before leaving the office, but remember to wipe up and away from your eyes or brows.

A few things to keep in mind after treatment:

• Bruising at and around the injection site is normal, especially if treated around the eyes. This bruising can last up to several days.

Please keep in mind it may take up to 14 days for Botox/Nuceiva to fully take effect. If your upper lip was treated, you may experience temporary muscle weakness and have difficulty drinking through a straw, whistling or enunciating some words for approximately 2 weeks.

The number of units needed varies from person to person and will depend on your unique needs. At Cosmedica Aesthetics, we assess your areas of concern to build a treatment plan that is specifically catered to you.

If you’re wanting to focus on treating a specific area, such as around the mouth, you may only require a few injections. If your needs involve more than one area, you may need more injections to receive the results you’re looking for. Our injectors will recommend the appropriate treatment options to help you meet your goals.

When you begin to notice wrinkles developing on your skin, it may be time to consider getting treatment to address your concerns before they worsen. We only treat clients aged 19 and up.
