What is Botox?
Botox is a neuromodulator brand that targets the nervous system and disrupts the nerve signals that process muscle contraction. The main purpose of neuromodulator injections is to prevent and treat wrinkles or fine lines that are a result of muscle movement. It is one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate the skin and is a great non-surgical treatment option for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. At ML Aesthetics Clinic, we use Xeomin Cosmetic, which is a purified botulinum toxin that allows for more natural results. Our favourite part about using this product is it doesn’t make the patient resistant to the treatment and is highly recognized in the Canadian medical aesthetics market. If you want to experience this revolutionary toxin, then give us a call to book your appointment!

FAQs
Typically, almost everyone can be a good candidate for neuromodulator injections. Those that are not good candidates are pregnant women, nursing mothers, or individuals with muscle diseases. We provide complimentary consultations before any treatment to outline the process and discuss your medical history.
There may be a small degree of swelling or redness at the sites of the injections, but will subside within a short period of time. We recommend relaxing for the remainder of the day with no intense physical activity and avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the treated areas.
Full results take place 7-10 days post procedure. The results can last up to 3-4 months depending on how your body absorbs the toxin. Additional treatments can be done to help prolong the results of the treatment.
