WHAT IS BOTOX COSMETIC®?
Botox is a prescribed medication made of botulinum toxin, a cosmetically-approved form of Clostridium botulinum. Botox functions by blocking neuromuscular transmission through decreased acetylcholine release. This temporarily paralyzes and weakens the injected muscle. A small dose is injected when Botox is used for cosmetic purposes to prevent any adverse effects.
Botox was approved by the FDA in 2002 to treat moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows temporarily. The regions for Botox treatments have expanded from frown lines to the frontalis (forehead region), mentalis (chin region), crow’s feet (eye regions), and masseter (jaw muscle) plus we can even treat migraines using Botox.
Botox is a non-invasive rejuvenation method that does not cause much pain, with not a lot of downtime and has proven results.
Botulinum neuromodulator is one of the most popular procedures available. It works beautifully for the right areas when performed by the right professional.
Botox works its best magic on deep wrinkles that are most commonly found on the forehead, between the eyebrows, the neck, and crow’s feet.
A very small amount of the solution is injected directly into the problem area muscles. Over the next 3 – 5 days the muscle weakens, and by day 10, dramatic softening of the area is visibly noticeable. If you visit a skilled physician, a small bruise (from the needle) is generally the only immediate side effect, although it’s not very common.
The best and worst thing about Botox, Nuceiva and other neuromodulators is that they are temporary. If you’re not comfortable with the results, Botox generally wears off in about 3 months. If you like the results, you can appreciate that you only need to get it done just a few times a year. It is common for people who regularly receive Botox to extend the interval between treatments to up to 6 months.
Botox is not only a wrinkle miracle but 80% of those who have received the treatment for forehead wrinkles reported a dramatic improvement in migraine headaches. In one study, more than 50% of the study participants stopped having any headaches for three months or longer! You could look and FEEL better in the same visit.
It’s exciting to think of what other medicinal purposes Botox may be able to offer in the future.

Botox Results and Duration
The results of Botox will start to appear 2-3 days after the injection, but it will take about 1 week before the maximum effects are noticeable.
Results generally last 3-6 months, but everyone is different. Patients can decide when to receive the injection again when they notice fine lines reappear.

WHAT IS FILLER?
Facial Fillers are the most effective at producing dramatic improvements without the need for surgery. As we age, skin loses its firmness as the body stops producing the quantity of collagen and elastin it produced in our youth.
Healthpoint Laser Clinic offers a variety of options, including Restylane, Teoxane, and Juvederm fillers in Kelowna. The main ingredient in most fillers is Hyaluronic Acid which naturally occurs within the body.
Hyaluronic Acid molecule retains moisture and plays an important role in preserving the health of elastin and collagen in the skin. The natural ageing process reduces the amount of collagen and hyaluronic acid in our skin, which inevitably causes deep lines and a reduced facial volume.
Hyaluronic Acid fills deep lines and increases volume in the targeted areas to achieve dramatic results that look and feel natural.
Fillers are injected underneath the soft tissue of the face, and the patient will see a difference in the appearance of their face immediately.
JUVEDERM
Juvederm is an FDA-approved, gel-type filler often utilized in removing “smile lines” from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth and scars. Juvederm is also often utilized in lip augmentation. It contains lidocaine (local anesthesia), thus minimizing the pain during and after the procedure.
RESTYLANE
Restylane is an FDA-approved filler that is widely utilized across the world. Restylane will not only fill your deep lines but can also heighten the nose and increase volume in various areas of the face. Restylane is safe to use on delicate skin, including the skin of the hands and around the eyes. The duration of the injection is short, but patients will see results immediately after the procedure. The injection contains lidocaine (local anesthesia), thus minimizing pain during and after the procedure.
TEOXANE
Perfectly suited for restoring your skin’s vitality and softness, Teoxane fillers rejuvenate facial skin while providing exceptional results, ideal for expressive, emotive parts of the face.
Teoxane fillers can be injected into all facial areas, including the neck. The hyaluronic acid (HA) within each injection is gradually released into and absorbed by the body, bonding with the body’s natural HA content.
As we age, our bodies produce less HA resulting in a loss of youthful vigour and glow. Mobile facial areas, or the parts of the face that see repeated movement, typically manifest some of these common signs of aging.
Teoxane is designed to help preserve the natural characteristics of hyaluronic acid, ensuring the mobile, active parts of your face enjoy the full effect.
There are several options for injectables to achieve your desired look. Some people have better or faster results with one and not the others. Our experts will help determine what works best for you and provide the necessary information and treatments.
