Botox Injections

Botox® is a prescription neuromodulator made from onabotulinumtoxinA, a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. In small, targeted doses, it temporarily relaxes muscles that cause expression lines and can also treat therapeutic conditions. Dysport®, like Botox®, is often used to treat glabellar frown lines and other dynamic wrinkles.

Benefits of Botox Injections

Botox is a highly versatile treatment that provides both aesthetic benefits and therapeutic relief. In addition to its well-known ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, Botox offers a range of other benefits, including:

• Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
• Creates a refreshed, youthful appearance
• Minimizes excessive sweating
• Reduces migraine frequency and severity
• Relieves TMJ-related jaw tension and pain
• Improves overall comfort and quality of life

Treatment Types: Cosmetic and Therapeutic

There are two main types of Botox treatments we offer at our North Vancouver clinic, each delivering unique benefits depending on your goals.

Botox® for Cosmetic Use

At Celebrity Laser Care, we use small-dose Botox injections to relax facial muscles that contribute to visible lines and aging. These treatments are non-surgical and require little to no downtime, making them a popular choice for those seeking natural, refreshed results.

Common Cosmetic Uses Include:

• Soften forehead lines and frown lines
• Reduce crow’s feet around the eyes
• Smooth bunny lines on the nose
• Minimize chin dimples
• Subtly lift the eyebrows
• Soften vertical lip lines
• Define the jawline
• Relax neck bands

Each cosmetic treatment is customized to your facial structure and aesthetic goals for balanced, natural-looking results.

Botox® for Therapeutic Concerns

Both Botox® and Dysport® are clinically proven to help manage several medical conditions. Our clinic in North Vancouver offers therapeutic injections, which may be eligible for coverage under extended health benefits plans. Here are some of the medical conditions Botox can effectively treat:

• Chronic Migraines & Tension Headaches: When injected into specific facial and head areas, Botox can reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines, even when other treatments have failed.
• TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Disorders: Botox helps relieve jaw tension and muscle stiffness, reduce clenching and grinding, ease related headaches, and improve jaw mobility and function.
• Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating): Botox blocks nerve signals to sweat glands, reducing perspiration in the underarms, face, or scalp. Most patients see significant results within 1-2 weeks, and treatment may be covered by extended benefits plans.

Botox is a purified protein that temporarily blocks nerve signals, reducing muscle contractions and softening expression lines. Results typically appear in 5–10 days, with repeated treatments extending the time between sessions for long-lasting effects.

The Injection Process

Using a very fine needle, Botox is injected into targeted areas like the forehead, jawline, or underarms. The procedure is quick, minimally uncomfortable, and requires no downtime, allowing clients to resume daily activities immediately after treatment.

At Celebrity Laser Care in North Vancouver, Botox is a highly versatile treatment used to target various areas of the face and body. Each injection is customized to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals to ensure natural-looking results.

Face: Forehead Lines, Crow’s Feet, Frown Lines, and More

Botox is most commonly used to smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Popular facial areas include:

• Forehead lines (horizontal lines when raising eyebrows)
• Glabellar lines (vertical frown lines between the eyebrows)
• Crow’s feet (lines at the corners of the eyes from smiling or squinting)
• Bunny lines (wrinkles on the sides of the nose)
• Dimpled chin (softening wrinkles and dimples on the chin)
• Brow lift (subtle eyebrow elevation for a refreshed look)

Neck: Neck Bands and Sagging Skin

Botox can effectively relax the muscles responsible for creating vertical neck bands, reducing their appearance. This treatment smooths the skin and tightens the area, providing a more youthful and defined neck profile by addressing sagging skin and muscle tension.

Underarms: Botox for Excessive Sweating

For clients dealing with excessive underarm sweating, Botox works by blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweat production. This treatment is also effective for other areas prone to excessive sweating, such as the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, offering long-lasting relief.

Jawline: Botox for Jawline Contouring

Botox can be strategically injected into the masseter muscles to slim and contour the jawline, creating a more refined and softer appearance. This treatment is particularly beneficial for clients who experience teeth grinding (bruxism) or those seeking a more sculpted, V-shaped jawline.

At our North Vancouver clinic, Botox treatments address much more than just wrinkle reduction. We offer solutions for a variety of cosmetic and medical concerns, helping to enhance both your appearance and overall comfort, with results tailored to your needs.

Wrinkles & Fine Lines

Botox effectively smooths dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial muscle movements. This includes forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, bunny lines, and chin dimpling, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance.

Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

By temporarily blocking sweat gland activity, Botox provides relief for those struggling with excessive sweating in areas like the underarms, palms, and feet. This treatment significantly improves comfort, allowing you to go about your day without worrying about unwanted perspiration.

Jawline Contouring

Botox injections in the jaw muscles slim and contour the jawline, creating a more defined appearance. It also reduces the symptoms of jaw clenching and teeth grinding, while helping to balance and enhance facial proportions for a harmonious look.

Chronic Migraines

Health Canada has approved Botox for the treatment of chronic migraines, helping to reduce both the frequency and severity of these debilitating headaches. This treatment offers long-term relief for those who suffer from ongoing, intense migraine pain.

Neck Bands and Sagging Skin

Botox targets the muscles beneath the neck, relaxing vertical bands and improving the appearance of sagging skin. This results in a smoother, more youthful neckline, helping to restore a firmer and more defined profile.
