Dr. Shia Wolgelernter, M.D. specializes in Toronto Botox, including Botox injections using BOTOX® Cosmetic, also known as Botulinum toxin type A, for the treatment of facial wrinkles and expression lines.
A Long History of Success with Botox Injections
BOTOX® has long been a trusted therapeutic choice for non-cosmetic use. More than 10 years ago, the Canadian government approved BOTOX® Cosmetic, also known as Botulinum toxin type A, for the treatment of ophthalmic disorders associated with muscle overactivity, such as misalignment of the eyes and contractions of the eyelids.
Following additional years of research and development, a remarkable cosmetic treatment was introduced. In April 2001, BOTOX Cosmetic™ was cleared for use in Canada for patients with glabellar frown lines.
Smoothing Out the Underlying Problem
Repeated muscular contractions, such as frowning and squinting, form lines known as dynamic wrinkles. BOTOX Cosmetic™ works by relaxing the muscles that cause these dynamic wrinkles, giving the face a more relaxed and refreshed appearance.
The procedure is simple and quick. Many patients are able to have Botox injections performed during a lunch hour and return to normal daily activities shortly afterward.
BOTOX Cosmetic™ has become one of the fastest-growing cosmetic procedures, used by women and men worldwide who want to take control of their appearance and look as refreshed as they feel.
Frequently Asked Questions About BOTOX Cosmetic™
A tiny amount of BOTOX Cosmetic™ is injected into the muscle that creates the dynamic wrinkle. It blocks the nerve impulse from reaching that area, allowing the muscle to relax and the wrinkle above it to smooth away.
The most common treatment areas include frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead lines, and crow’s feet around the eyes.
The effects usually last three to four months. After several treatments, results may begin to last longer. Most patients see visible results within one week.
BOTOX Cosmetic™ has been used safely and successfully in ophthalmology and wrinkle therapy for many years. Side effects are usually temporary and localized to the injection area.
A very small amount is injected precisely into the treatment muscles. Because the needle is fine and only a small amount of liquid is used, discomfort is minimal. Most patients compare the sensation to a small bug bite.
