Preventative Botox or Botox for Fine Lines and Wrinkles
There is a misconception that Botox is only needed when fine lines and wrinkles become clearly visible on the face. In fact, preventative Botox is highly recommended during the beginning stages of fine lines appearing in areas such as the forehead and around the eyes to prevent them from turning into wrinkles later in life. More Botox units are needed to treat deeper lines and wrinkles, while preventative Botox utilizes fewer units to easily soften fine lines and prevent wrinkles from forming.
Common Areas Botox is Used for Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Crow’s feet
Forehead lines
Glabellar lines (a.k.a., the “11s”)
Frown lines
Smoker’s lines
Lip Flip with Botox
Another common use for Botox in Calgary is subtly enhancing the top lip with what’s known as a lip flip. A lip flip is done by injecting 4-8 units of Botox directly above the upper lip to relax the connecting muscles. The top lip is “flipped” outward, appearing slightly larger and accentuating the cupid’s bow. Lip flips with Botox can be done as an alternative to lip filler (though Botox does not add volume to the lips) or in combination with lip filler to further enhance the top lip. Lip flips using Botox in Calgary are commonly done to correct gummy smiles as well.
Botox for the Masseter Muscle Relief
Botox can be used to relax the masseter muscles, which can become painful and enlarged as a result of chronic clenching. When the masseters become enlarged, the lower face can appear wider than its natural shape. Botox can be used to relax the masseter muscles, relieving clients of chronic tension and pain and allowing the lower face to return to its natural shape.
Is Botox Right for You?
Botox is a highly effective treatment for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, softening the facial structure, and subtly lifting the face. Botox is considered safe for most people. When considering Botox, it’s important to choose a Nurse Injector who is trained in Botox administration. At NINA Aesthetics in Calgary, the Nurse Injectors are trained in cosmetic Botox, so you can rest assured you are in safe hands.
FAQ for Cosmetic Botox in Calgary
Will my face be frozen after Botox?
NINA Aesthetics in Calgary aims to enhance your features and leave you with a natural result. You can still have movement and control of your facial muscles after Botox.
How soon can I expect to see results from Botox?
Botox results can be seen within 1-2 weeks, with full results typically visible at the 2-week mark. This is why a 2-week follow-up appointment is recommended to assess results and determine if a touch-up is needed. Botox results typically last 3-4 months on average. As the Botox begins to metabolize, normal facial muscle movement will return.
Are there different types of Botox?
Botox is a brand name for botulinum toxin type A. Dysport is another common brand name for botulinum toxin type A. The product used for your treatment depends on the area being treated, your budget, and personal preference. An experienced Nurse Injector will assess your needs at NINA Aesthetics to determine which product is best for you.
Are there side effects of Botox injections?
Mild side effects are typical after Botox and subside quickly. The most common is redness at the injection sites, minor swelling, or occasional bruising. Serious side effects are rare and will be discussed before proceeding with your Botox treatment.
Is there aftercare involved with cosmetic Botox?
Botox aftercare is minimal and requires no downtime. The most important precaution is to stay upright for 4-6 hours to avoid Botox migration and to avoid touching your face or applying pressure on the injection sites. Any strenuous activities, including workouts such as yoga or Pilates, should be avoided for 24 hours after treatment. Your Nurse Injector at NINA Aesthetics in Calgary will carefully review all aftercare instructions during your Botox appointment.
