Facial Lines and Wrinkle Treatment in Calgary, AB

Are you looking to address unwanted frown lines between your eyebrows?

The skin’s elasticity reduces as we age. Fine lines become more visible – regardless of if your face is at rest or you’re making facial movements.

If these wrinkles make you feel self-conscious about your appearance, there are safe and non-invasive treatments that you can consider. Maybe injectables containing botulinum toxin are your solution!

What are Injectables?

Injectables are a prescription injection that relaxes the muscle and helps smooth moderate to severe frown lines. It's used for both cosmetic and therapeutic purposes.

Injectables can treat glabellar lines otherwise known as forehead furrows. These lines are horizontal indentations which stretch across your forehead and often intersect with frown lines – which are the vertical lines that form between your eyebrows.

The injections are quick, effective, and non-invasive. Taking only a few minutes to complete; applying the anesthetic may take longer than the actual procedure! It’s non-surgical, so you can leave the office after your injections.

How Do Injectables work?

Injectables can treat moderate to severe frown lines.

Facial fine lines can be due to repeated movements, muscle contractions, and aging. Your dentist can determine whether wrinkles are treatable in this way.

These injectables are neuromodulators or a class of injection that targets facial areas. It reduces the appearance of fine lines on your face by limiting the movement or relaxing muscles in the treatment area.

A single injection can target five points or areas between your eyebrows.

Are the results permanent, and how long will it take to see results?

You’ll see changes 2-3 days after your treatment, and results may last for up to 5 months. You may need 2 treatments per year to maintain your desired look.

Is It right for me?

Injectables are safe, but it may not be the right option for everyone. First, your dentist will review your medical history and asks questions about your lifestyle and aesthetic goals to make sure injectables are a good fit for you.

You may not be an ideal candidate if you:

• Only have mild facial lines
• Are below age 18 or above the age of 65
• Are pregnant
• Are sensitive to botulinum toxin
• Are allergic to cow’s milk protein
• Have had allergic reactions to any of the ingredients
• Have skin disorders
• Have thick and oily skin
• Have frail facial muscles
• Have asymmetrical face or sides of the face that look different from each other
• Have swelling at the injection site
• Have deep facial scars

It is important to tell your dentist about all medication (both prescribed and over the counter), supplements, and any medical conditions you may have.

It’s important to be honest as there may be side effects that can extend to areas outside of the treatment site. Severe cases can be life-threatening, and those with conditions before receiving the injections are most vulnerable.
