Fine Lines and Wrinkles Treatment in Toronto

The Cosmetic Injection procedure takes approximately 10-20 minutes. A liquid is injected using a tiny needle into the muscle that creates a wrinkle. Your doctor or Registered Nurse will determine where to administer the injections by examining your ability to move certain muscles in your brow area. Patients may feel an initial minor ‘sting’ from the injection but afterwards there is usually no discomfort. Patients are immediately able to resume their daily routine.

After treatment there will be some mild redness which lasts less than an hour. Rarely, there can be a slight headache or some minor bruising and swelling. Most patients return to regular activity immediately. However, sleeping or strenuous exercise should be avoided for 4 hours after injection. You should contract your frowning muscles 3 times every 10 minutes for the first hour after treatment. Do not rub or massage the treated areas for 24 hours after treatment.

Within days, you may see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. Lines continue to improve for up to a month, and can last for up to 4 months. In clinical trials, one month following their treatment nearly 90% of men and women rate an improvement in their appearance as moderate to better. The onset is 3-10 days after treatment. Results may vary.
