What is BOTOX®?

Neuromodulators such as BOTOX®, Dysport and Xeomin® are a class of pharmaceutical medications derived from the Botulinum bacteria. The active ingredient is a Health Canada approved purified protein that’s used in cosmetic applications to smooth the skin and soften dynamic lines and wrinkles.botoxmain

 

Botox Nose Slimming

Many people are interested in non-surgical rhinoplasty as an alternative to an invasive nose job. Botox treatments can help improve the appearance of the nose without needing to go under the knife.

Botox to slim the nose is not about physically altering the shape of the nose, as with a surgical rhinoplasty.

Rather, by limiting the muscles near the sides of the nose with Botox, the nose can appear slimmer. This “Botox nose job” is often paired with Botox for the nose tip, which can dip if the muscles used to smile pull down on the nose.

If you notice that your nostrils flare when smiling or breathing we can place Botox injections onto the ala of the nose to reduce the flaring effect of the muscle.

 

Botox Lower Face Slimming

There are many uses to Botox! Botox/dysport can effectively relax different muscles of the face and body and subsequently shrink the muscle mass temporarily!

Barbie Botox aka Trap-Tox

Barbie Botox, sometimes colloquially referred to as “Trap Tox,” is an unconventional cosmetic procedure that entails the injection of Botox or Dysport into the Trapezius muscle. This unique approach is aimed at achieving a slimmer appearance in the shoulders and upper back.

Interestingly, the injection of Botox into the trapezius muscles can serve multiple purposes. Not only can it create the visual effect of a longer neck and more slender shoulders, but it may also offer relief from spasms and shoulder pain. Additionally, addressing overworked trapezius muscles through Botox treatment can potentially alleviate issues like migraines and severe neck tension, making it a unique and multifaceted approach to both aesthetics and comfort.

How does BOTOX® work?

 

Dynamic wrinkles are the creases we normally see around the eyes, forehead and frown area. These are the signs of aging caused by years of making facials expressions such as smiling, laughing and frowning.

When we’re young our skin is supple and has excellent elasticity. Few lines are visible or they disappear completely as soon as we stop making facial expressions. As we get older, however, facial wrinkles remain visible even when our face is at rest. These are called static lines.

Neuromodulators or “anti-wrinkle injections” work by temporarily blocking the communication between nerve cells, preventing facial muscles from contracting. As the muscles relax, the skin takes on a smoother and more youthful appearance.

In most cases, neuromodulators work best on dynamic lines and wrinkles. Although with regular use, even static lines can improve over time, becoming softer, less visible.
