Botox Treatment in Kelowna

An increasing number of people are turning to Botox as a preventative and immediate solution in dealing with the signs of ageing. The use of Botox comes with numerous benefits, the main of which is the disappearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Dr. C.D. Bakala, M.D. FRCSC and his team have years of experience successfully administering Botox in Kelowna to our patients. We meet the unique concerns of those who choose us for specific requirements – from crow’s feet to forehead wrinkles.

The length of time Botox treatment will last depends on the type of treatment you decide on, and how regularly you stick to the recommended treatment plan. The effects of Botox typically last from 3 to up to 6 months, helping you restore and maintain a youthful appearance. You can read more about the different options available at our clinic in the sections below.

Botox TM/Xeomin TM

Botulinum Toxin Type A treatment is used for frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet.

Reducing the function of specific facial muscles can treat prominent forehead creases, brow furrows or eye lines (crow’s feet). The Neurotoxins (Botox™ and Xeomin™) are sterile, purified proteins produced from the bacteria, Clostridium botulinum in the laboratory. Neurotoxins injected in small amounts into facial muscles bind to the nerve endings supplying the muscle and prevent nerve impulses from travelling to the muscle. When injected into a muscle, it weakens or paralyzes the muscle around the area injected for a typical period of several months. The resultant weakening or paralyzing effect on the facial muscle temporarily eliminates previous skin creasing, and new skin creasing is avoided. Botox may take several days to have its effect, and the effect typically lasts 3-6 months, in most individuals, before full muscle movement returns. At that point, the treatment may be repeated as desired.*

1. BOTOX Cosmetic TM

This is the first treatment used in Canada for treating Frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet. Botox Cosmetics TM targets what are known as dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repeated muscular contractions, such as frowning and squinting. It is an injectable treatment derived from a purified protein and works by relaxing the muscles that cause these dynamic wrinkles, giving your face a more relaxed and refreshed appearance. In addition, treatment is so quick and easy that you can often have it done over lunch. The results from a BOTOX COSMETIC TM treatment are natural-looking and will give you a refreshed appearance. Botox Cosmetic has been clinically proven to last up to four months. Actual treatment results may vary.

Botox Cosmetics can be combined with Juvederm facial fillers to treat volume loss and folds in the mid to lower face creating the SoftLift.*

Xeomin is an injectable neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes muscles to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles created by dynamic facial movements, such as smiling, frowning, or raising your eyebrows.

Botox in Kelowna | FAQs

The following are some frequently asked questions about Botox treatment:

: When it comes to cosmetic procedures, Botox is one of the most popular. The reason for this is that the benefits of Botox far outweigh any short-term discomfort.
Botox is minimally invasive and is ideal for anyone looking to eliminate concerns like fine lines, forehead creases, wrinkles and more. To learn more about the procedure and if it’s right for you, please speak to our team.
: You may feel a tingling sensation in the injected area, which is normal. Some patients might experience mild discomfort during and after the procedure, but it is tolerable. A topical anesthetic applied before Botox will dull any pain you feel.
: When you’re able to move the muscles in the previously-injected area, it means the effects of botox are declining. This period is also when you can re-inject the area.
: Botox works almost immediately, and patients can see a noticeable difference after just one treatment or within 2-5 days.
: There is little to no downtime after Botox. Most clients can return to work or their regular activities after the treatment.
: The results of Botox can last anytime between 3-6 months.
