What doesNeuromodulator involve ?

Type A neuromodulator (marketed under brand names such as Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, among others) is commonly used in aesthetic medicine to temporarily reduce the activity of certain facial muscles responsible for expression lines. It is recognized as safe, approved by Health Canada, and widely used in the field of aesthetics.

What is its mode of action?

When injected in very small amounts into specific muscles, botulinum toxin temporarily disrupts the communication between nerves and muscles, thereby preventing muscle contraction. This process allows for:
Smoothing of wrinkles caused by facial movements
- Prevention of new wrinkle formation
- Maintenance of a relaxed and natural appearance

Main treatment areas:

Glabella: frown lines between the eyebrows (often called “the lion’s wrinkle”)
Forehead: horizontal lines
Eye area: crow’s feet
Nose: fine lines known as “bunny lines”
Gummy smile and marionette lines
Neck: skin laxity with platysmal bands

Session frequency and cost

Treatment schedule: approximately every 3 to 4 months, depending on each person’s metabolism and muscle tone.
Pricing: the cost varies based on the amount of product used and the targeted areas. A personalized assessment is carried out during the consultation.

In short

Botox® treatment is a quick, gentle, and non-surgical option to reduce wrinkles, slow the effects of aging, and enhance facial balance — all while preserving natural expressions.
