Who is a good candidate for botox?
Normally in our 30’s we begin to see the signs of aging and Botox can help soften the lines and wrinkles that are beginning to appear. Now with more environmental factors and exposure to the sun people are experiencing the affects of aging earlier. Preventative treatments can help patients from developing deep lines and wrinkles instead of waiting for them to appear. Patients should be over 18 years of age, be physically healthy with no history of neuromuscular diseases, and are not pregnant or nursing.
What are the biggest concerns you usually hear from your patients?
“Will I look frozen or feel numb?” One of the biggest concerns patients have with Botox is the desire for a natural look. We believe in always being conservative in our treatments, maintaining that a natural look is the best look. Botox does not affect the nerves that regulate sensation so numbness is not a concern.
Do you get a lot of first time patients?
Yes, we see many first time patients who are looking to either maintain a youthful appearance by using Botox to prevent the forming of wrinkles and fine lines or those who want to soften the ones they have now.
How long does an appointment typically take?
An appointment for Botox is a quick and simple process of a few injections with a tiny needle. The treatment is near painless and no anaesthetic is required. You can resume your normal activities immediately.
How long do the results last for?
Results for Botox last between 3 to 4 months depending on the client.
What are some of the other medical services you offer?
We offer Dermal Filler injections to facial areas such as the cheeks, lips and jawline that have lost volume and fullness over time. Juvederm is a dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid(a naturally occurring sugar found in your body) which combines with the water in your skin to restore lost volume and reduce lines and wrinkles. Results are instant and natural looking and, results can last up to a year.
What's your favourite part of the job?
There is nothing more exciting than seeing how facial aesthetic treatments with Botox and Dermal Fillers can transform a patient both on the outside and almost more importantly, on the inside. Mirrors and life can sometimes be hard, so to see the faces of our patients light as they up as they recognize more of the person they remember to be, well, that is very gratifying and rewarding.
What is your favourite thing to do on a Sunday afternoon?
I love many things travel, skiing, climbing the Grouse Grind... but when it comes to lazy Sunday afternoons nothing compares to the company of my three beautiful daughters and some great conversation.
