FAQ

Q – What exactly is Botox Cosmetic ?
A – Botox Cosmetic is a natural, purified protein. In very low doses it relaxes the overactive muscles that cause wrinkle lines.

Q - Is it safe?
A –Botox Cosmetic has been used safely and successfully in ophthalmology for over 10 years, and for wrinkle therapy for over six years. In wrinkle therapy, the most common side effects, such as bruising, are temporary and localized.

Q – How long does it last?
A – Approximately 3 – 4 months, after which lines gradually revert to pre-treatment appearance.

Q - Will it radically change my appearance?
A – No. Expect a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your frown lines. Overall, you’ll look more relaxed and refreshed but not like “you’ve had work done.”

Q – Who administers the treatment?
A – We have a certified medical injector on staff with over five years’ professional experience administering Botox.

Filler injections

A filler injection can smooth wrinkles and folds, and enhance fullness and shape in the lips and face for a more sensuous, youthful appearance. At Dermaesthetics we use Juvéderm™ fillers (www.juvederm.ca), consisting of a natural material called hyaluronic acid (a naturally occurring substance in the body).

Benefits of Juvéderm™

• Smooth, gel consistency (unlike other, more granular fillers)
• proven success treating darker skin tones and colouring
• reversible, unlike other semi-permanent fillers
• enhanced comfort during and after treatment (with Juvéderm™ XC filler with lidocaine to prevent pain).

Juvéderm™ Ultra / Juvéderm™ Ultra Plus with Lidocaine

Smooth deep lines and wrinkles and add volume, for immediate results with little to no downtime.

Juvéderm™ Voluma / Juvéderm™ Voluma with Lidocaine

Restore age-related volume loss in the mid face and boost collagen for a more youthful appearance in the cheeks and jaw line.

FAQ

Q – Is it safe?

A – Juvederm is approved by Health Canada and is administered by our certified injector. She will be sure that you fully understand the procedure and ensure that it is the right treatment for you.

Q – How long before I see results?

A – Instantly – you will see an immediate improvement in the treated area. Most people need one treatment to achieve an optimal outcome. Supplemental “touch-ups” may be required to achieve and maintain the desired look. Results will last for up to one year after one treatment.

Lip enhancement

Juvéderm™ can be used for lip rejuvenation or augmentation. It can be used to add volume to the lips, to improve border definition of the upper and/or lower lips, and to create a stronger Cupid’s Bow. Juvéderm™ can also be used for lip enhancement to add volume and improve lip definition in younger lips.

Lip injections take only minutes to perform.

In addition Juvéderm™ XC (Extra Comfort) contains a pain-reducing lidocaine for added comfort during and after the treatment.

FAQ

Q-What results can I expect?

A-Post-treatment results reveal less noticeable swelling and pinpricks than most cosmetic injection treatments, so you may use this within a day or two of a big event without the worry that someone may notice.

Q-Do I need to repeat treatments?

A-Yes, most people find that a ‘top-up’ treatment in the first month after the first treatment may be necessary and follow-up treatments may be appropriate every four to six months.

Q-What risks are involved with lip injections?

A-Most people would notice minimal swelling or pinprick marks for a short time which can easily be covered with light makeup or cover-up.
