Wrinkle Relaxers
GET A REFRESHED, RELAXED APPEARANCE WITH BOTOX®, DYSPORT®, AND XEOMIN®, FROM OUR TEAM OF PHYSICIANS.
Wrinkle relaxers, also known as neuromodulators, with brands such as Botox® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and Xeomin® are products injected into the facial muscles responsible for wrinkles and fine lines to relax those muscles. The ingredients in these products block the signal between nerve and muscle, thereby reducing its ability to contract and form wrinkles, creating a refreshed or relaxed appearance.* Treatment is quick, simple, and relatively painless, with no downtime.
The results from products like Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles have made them a leading choice for millions of men and women for facial rejuvenation. The expertise of our physician specialists has made Victoria Park Medispa a leading destination for Botox in Montreal.
At Victoria Park Medispa, our treatments are supervised by board-certified plastic surgeons and dermatologists.
Our physicians are not only specialists, many are trainers of other physicians in Montreal and around the world on the application of aesthetic injectables for a natural and rejuvenating result.
We have a wide selection of wrinkle relaxers, dermal fillers, and laser treatments so you get the treatment, or combination of treatments, that is just right for you, not the treatment we happen to have.
Following an in-depth consultation with one of our physician specialists, a treatment usually takes about ten to twenty minutes. Our physician specialists are very careful in the application of any aesthetic injectable to ensure a naturally rejuvenated result, not an unnatural look which can result from treatment in the wrong hands.
Treatment is relatively pain-free. Most clients compare it to a small pinch that lasts a moment.
The cost of treatment with Botox® Cosmetic usually starts at about $250 but is dependent on the types and amounts of products used to give you the optimum natural-looking rejuvenated result.
The effects of Botox generally last for 4 – 6 months before a repeat treatment is required.
The effects of Botox are usually first noticed as early as 5 – 7 days following injection, with full results within two weeks.
A consultation with a Victoria Park Medispa physician can range between $125 and $200, depending on the type of consult. We perform a complete review of your age, facial structure, skin type and the improvements you would like to see. We then walk you through the various options that could have the greatest benefit for you, review before and after photos, and develop a treatment program together.
A Botox treatment involves injecting a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin type A into specific muscles to temporarily reduce wrinkles caused by muscle contractions. It relaxes the muscles, resulting in a smoother appearance. The effects last around three to four months. It should be performed by a qualified medical professional.
Botox works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, causing them to relax. This is achieved by injecting a small amount of botulinum toxin type A into specific muscles. By reducing muscle contractions, Botox can temporarily smooth out wrinkles and fine lines caused by repetitive movements. The effects typically last for several months before gradually wearing off.
Neuromodulator injections, such as Botox injections, offer several benefits for cosmetic and medical purposes:
It’s important to note that Botox treatments should only be performed by qualified medical professionals to ensure safety and optimal results. Consulting with a healthcare provider will help determine if Botox is a suitable option for addressing specific concerns and individual needs.
Dysport® and Xeomin® are often compared to Botox® Cosmetic as these products all have similar properties. They form a category of aesthetic injectables all known as muscles relaxers. They are injected into the facial muscles that are responsible for wrinkles and fine lines and relax those muscles. Their ingredients, known as neuromodulators, block the signal between nerve and muscle, thereby reducing its ability to contract and form wrinkles.
Your physician specialist will review the product that best suits your requirements and sometimes will apply different product to different areas of the face for optimal result.
Over time, the muscles above and between your eyebrows repeatedly contract, causing wrinkles to form. Wrinkle relaxers are generally injected around these muscles. They relax the muscle for a period of four to six months so that the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is reduced, creating a refreshed or relaxed appearance. The leading brands in this category include wrinkle relaxers like Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®.
Dermal fillers replace volume and structure lost through the aging process. The leading brands in this category include Juvederm®, Sculptra®, Belotero®, and Radiesse®. Dermal fillers are generally used to replace volume in lips and reduce the appearance of deep folds and lost volume in the face.
Wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers are often used in combination in different areas for an optimal result. Our physician specialists are very careful in the application of these products to avoid a frozen look or an overly treated look which can be the result of their use in the wrong hands.
Botox and Dysport are both injectable treatments that use botulinum toxin type A to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. However, there are a few differences between them. Dysport has smaller molecules, which may result in faster onset of action. It can also diffuse more widely, making it suitable for larger treatment areas. Botox, on the other hand, has larger molecules and may be preferred for more localized treatments. The dosing units for Dysport are different from Botox, so the amount needed can vary. Overall, the choice between Botox and Dysport depends on factors such as treatment goals, area being treated, and individual preferences, and should be discussed with a medical professional.
Many factors influence how long the effects of wrinkle relaxers last. These products generally last four to six months, when their relaxing your facial muscles naturally starts to wear off. As this happens, muscle tension gradually returns and the previously treated fine lines and wrinkles will begin to reappear. With repeated treatment, the lines and wrinkles often appear less severe than before, as the muscles are being trained to relax.
Some of the factors that influence how long their effect lasts include your age, your past treatments with Botox® or other wrinkle relaxers, your facial structure, your diet, your skin type and level of sun exposure.
Determining which treatment works better among Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, etc.), or dermal fillers (Juvederm, etc.) depends on the specific goals, treatment area, and individual preferences. Each product has its own unique characteristics and may be more suitable for different purposes. Here’s a brief comparison:
The choice among these treatments depends on factors such as the area being treated, the type of concern, and the individual’s preferences. It’s best to consult with a qualified medical professional at Victoria Park Medispa who can assess your specific needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment option for you. They will consider factors such as the location of wrinkles, muscle activity, and desired outcome to guide you in making the best decision.
Botox® Cosmetic has been Health Canada approved since 2001 and has been used in millions of treatments on men and women. For optimal safety and result, aesthetic injectable treatments at Victoria Park Medispa are only delivered by board-certified plastic surgeons and dermatologists.
Botox is one of the most popular and effective treatments for wrinkles caused by muscle contractions, particularly dynamic wrinkles. It is highly effective in reducing the appearance of forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. However, whether Botox is the best treatment for wrinkles depends on various factors, including the type of wrinkles, their location, and individual preferences. The best treatment for wrinkles depends on individual factors and should be discussed with a qualified professional.
