Botox® & Dysport® Treatments in Winnipeg

The Science of Smoother Skin

Dynamic wrinkles—like frown lines and crow’s feet—are formed by years of repeated muscle contractions folding the skin. Think of it like a piece of paper: the more you fold it, the deeper the crease becomes.

Botox® and Dysport® work by intercepting the nerve signals that tell these specific muscles to contract. By temporarily relaxing the underlying muscle activity, the skin above it is allowed to flatten and smooth out. This not only softens existing lines but effectively prevents new creases from forming.

Visible Rejuvenation We don't just "freeze" muscles; we soften dynamic lines. By relaxing the underlying muscle activity, we restore a smooth, well-rested appearance to the forehead, eyes, and brow.

Proactive Anti-Aging Think of it as hitting the "pause" button on aging. Regular treatments prevent repeated skin folding, stopping permanent deep lines from etching into your skin in the first place.

The Non-Surgical "Liquid Lift" Expert placement can do more than smooth wrinkles. We use micro-doses to subtly lift the eyebrows, widen the eyes, and turn up the corners of the mouth for a happier, more youthful expression.

Refined Skin Quality Beyond wrinkles, neuromodulators can improve overall skin texture. By reducing surface tension and regulating oil production, many patients notice smaller pores and a smoother, "glass-like" finish.

Zero Downtime Achieve surgical-grade results without the surgery. Appointments are precise and efficient, often completed in 15 minutes, allowing you to return to your daily routine immediately.

1. The Surgical-Standard Consultation Your appointment begins with a comprehensive facial analysis. Unlike standard clinics that just "look at lines," our surgeon-trained team evaluates your unique muscle strength, facial asymmetry, and skin quality to calculate the exact dosage required for natural results.

2. Medical-Grade Preparation Your safety is paramount. We prepare your skin with a hospital-grade cleanser to ensure a sterile field. While you are welcome to arrive with makeup, we recommend arriving with a clean face to maximize your appointment time for assessment and treatment.

3. The "Invisible" Injection We use ultra-fine, insulin-grade needles—the smallest available in the industry—to ensure maximum comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a fleeting "pinch." For sensitive areas, we offer medical-grade numbing options to ensure you remain completely relaxed.

4. Immediate Return to Life The entire process takes approximately 15–30 minutes. You may notice minor redness or tiny "mosquito bite" bumps at the injection sites, but these typically vanish within the hour. You can return to work or social activities immediately, looking exactly like yourself.

The 14-Day Reveal Great results take a moment. Unlike fillers which are instant, neuromodulators require time to interact with your muscles.

Days 3–5: You will begin to notice a softening of movement and lines. (Dysport® users often see this sooner).

Days 7–10: The product is actively "settling." You may notice slight asymmetry as different muscles relax at different speeds—this is normal.

Day 14: Your results are fully locked in. This is your "Peak Effect," where your skin looks its smoothest and most refreshed.

Longevity & Maintenance

While individual results vary based on your unique metabolism, most patients enjoy peak results for 3 to 4 months.

Because neuromodulators are natural proteins, your body will gradually metabolize them over time. High-movement areas (like around the mouth) may fade faster than less active areas (like the forehead). We recommend scheduling your maintenance appointment before your movement fully returns to prevent lines from re-etching into the skin.

Masseter Botox®: Jawline Slimming & Tension Relief

The "V-Shape" Transformation The masseter is one of the strongest muscles in the human body. Just like a bicep, when this jaw muscle is "worked out" through chronic clenching or grinding, it physically grows larger (hypertrophy). This creates a wide, square, or heavy lower face.

We use precise, deep-tissue injections of Botox® or Dysport® to relax this overactive muscle. As the muscle activity reduces, it naturally shrinks in size over time, resulting in a slimmer, softer, and more contoured facial shape.

Dual Benefits: Aesthetic & Therapeutic Because this treatment targets the root cause of jaw tension, most patients experience two distinct improvements:

Facial Slimming (The "V-Line"): Gradually softens a square jawline, creating a more feminine or refined oval shape without surgery.

Clinical Relief (TMJ & Bruxism): Acts as a "medical decompressor" for the jaw. It significantly reduces night-time grinding, protects teeth from wear, and alleviates tension headaches caused by a clenched jaw.

Deep Anatomy Safety Treating the masseter is an Advanced Medical Procedure. The jawline is home to the parotid gland and deep arteries. At The First Glance, our injectors are trained under Dr. Avi Islur’s surgical protocols to navigate this complex anatomy. We ensure the medication is placed strictly in the muscle belly, protecting your smile and ensuring maximum efficacy.

Longevity & Maintenance Because the masseter is a large, strong muscle, results evolve over time.

Pain Relief: Often felt within 7–10 days.

Visible Slimming: Typically peaks at the 4–6 week mark as the muscle physically shrinks.

Duration: Results generally last 4 to 6 months. With consistent maintenance, the muscle may stay relaxed for longer periods, requiring fewer treatments over time.
