Botox® in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver & Oakville

Botox is a Health Canada-approved injectable made from botulinum toxin type A. Injected in small, precise doses, it temporarily relaxes the facial muscles that create expression lines such as forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet, smoothing the skin while preserving natural movement.

Results typically begin within 3 to 5 days, reach full effect at about two weeks, and last 3 to 4 months. Read our guide on making results last longer.

Most patients describe the injections as a brief, mild pinch. Treatments use a very fine needle and take only minutes; a topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand if desired.

Botox is priced per unit, and the number of units depends on the areas treated and your muscle strength. Your exact plan and pricing are reviewed at a consultation.

Botox is Health Canada-approved and has one of the longest safety track records of any cosmetic injectable, with decades of clinical use worldwide. At Rejuvenation Dermatology, treatments are planned and performed by experienced medical professionals.

All three are botulinum toxin type A products that work the same way, with subtle differences in onset, diffusion and dosing. Dysport may act slightly faster and spread more; Nuceiva is a newer, cosmetic-focused option. Your injector recommends the right product for your anatomy and goals.

There is no single right age. Many patients begin in their late 20s or 30s as preventative treatment, softening dynamic lines before they become static wrinkles. The best time is when expression lines start lingering at rest.
