Botox - A working solution for frown lines and crow's feet and more — Your source for Botox in Ottawa

When facial lines, wrinkles, and creases show, the desire to correct these signs of aging commonly develops. The Facial Surgery & Cosmetic Centre of Ottawa frequently treat patients who would like to gain a more refreshed, youthful-looking appearance. They do so with certain injectables, including Botox ® Cosmetic.

What is Botox?

Botox is a purified, medical grade form of Botulinum toxin A. It is designed to block the muscle movement that causes the lines, wrinkles, and creases to develop. When Botox injections are administered correctly by a skilled professional, the results appear natural-looking; patients will still be able to smile, frown, and be expressive.

Licensed in Canada since 1990 as a safe and effective treatment for a variety of medical conditions, Botox is regarded as safe. While it can be used to treat excessive sweating (“hyperhidrosis”) and migraine headaches, Botox is most popularly used on millions of people for cosmetic wrinkle treatment purposes. The major problematic signs of aging of the face that Botox can help to treat include:

• Frown lines
• "Crow's feet"
• Forehead lines

Botox side effects are rare and should be discussed with your doctor during the consultation. Also, during the office visit, prospective patients can learn about the effectiveness of additional non-surgical treatments, such as Juvederm®, Thermage®, and Accent laser skin tightening.
