Botox, Dysport & Neuromodulator
Injections in Winnipeg

Lines and wrinkles on the face are caused muscle contractions that repeatedly crease the skin. Common facial expressions that cause wrinkling include frowning and squinting.

Neuromodulators work by blocking nerve impulses in the injected muscles to reduce muscle activity. As a result, this weakens and relaxes the muscles, preventing them from contracting, so they no longer crease your skin.

• Reduces facial wrinkles and lines: Temporarily relaxes facial muscles, smoothing out lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.
• Non-surgical solution: Offers a minimally invasive alternative to cosmetic surgery, with no downtime required.
• Quick and convenient: Treatments are fast, often completed within minutes, allowing for an immediate return to daily activities.
• Preventative aging benefits: Regular use can slow the development of new wrinkles by preventing the deepening of lines from facial expressions.
• Improves skin texture: Beyond reducing wrinkles, Botox can result in overall smoother skin.
• Lifts and contours: Can subtly lift areas like eyebrows and corners of the mouth, enhancing facial symmetry and aesthetics.

Botox is a clean protein that works by blocking nerve impulses in the injected muscles to reduce muscle activity. As a result, this weakens and relaxes the muscles, preventing them from contracting, so they no longer crease your skin.

As your skin cells renew and regenerate, your skin will gradually soften and smooth out over time.

Maintaining your touch-up treatments is key (the effects of Botox injections are temporary). Refresher appointments are typically set for every 3 to 4 months.

On the day of your treatment, your injector will meet you in a private treatment room to discuss your aesthetic goals in detail. After a full assessment of your facial anatomy, expression lines and wrinkles, your injector will determine the proper dosage of Botox for your treatment.

Before your injections, your skin will be cleansed at the injection sites to remove any makeup or oil from the surface of your skin to prevent infection. If you can, please come to your appointment without makeup on. After cleansing the skin, your injector will inject neuromodulators with an ultra-fine needle (which may feel like a light pinch). Appointments typically last 10 to 30 minutes. You may see some swelling and redness post-procedure which typically resolves within an hour.

Over the next 10 to 14 days after your injections, you will begin to see your full results.

Masseter Muscle Botox is performed with precise injections of neuromodulators, such as Botox or Dysport into the masseter muscle (the large muscle on either side of your jaw responsible for chewing and clenching). Neuromodulator injections weaken the masseter muscle, reducing its size to create a slimmer, softer, more refined face shape.

Key Benefits of Masseter Muscle Botox:

1. Facial Slimming: Softens a square or overly prominent jawline to create a more V-shaped facial appearance.

2. Relief from Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): Reduces clenching and grinding, especially at night. Helps prevent dental wear.

3. TMJ Disorder Relief: Eases tension and pain in the jaw area. Reduces headaches caused by overactive jaw muscles.

Masseter Muscle Botox is an advanced medical treatment that should only be performed by an Expert Nurse Injector or a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon in a fully accredited medical clinic. There are many veins, arteries, and nerves in the face making it extremely important to be treated by a licensed medical professional with a physician onsite.

On average neuromodulators last anywhere from 3 to 4 months depending on how quickly your body metabolizes it. The effects are temporary. Touch-up treatments are required to maintain results.

You can expect your treatment to start taking effect anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks after your injections (this duration varies between patients). Over the next few weeks, your brows will gradually lift and your lines and wrinkles will continue to soften and smooth out.
