Botox®: A Proven Leader in Safe, Effective Wrinkle Treatment

At Rejuvenation Dermatology in Calgary, we confidently recommend Botox because of its proven safety profile, extensive research, and long history of success. Despite myths and misinformation, Botox continues to deliver consistent, natural-looking results for thousands of patients. Our expertise ensures treatments are customized to preserve your unique expressions while effectively smoothing wrinkles. By trusting Botox and choosing a professional provider, you’re opting for a treatment backed by science and decades of experience, not rumours or misconceptions.

 

Debunking Common Botox Myths

  • Myth 1: Botox Will Freeze My Face 
    A common fear is that Botox will leave you expressionless or “frozen.” In reality, when performed by experienced injectors at Rejuvenation Dermatology, Botox relaxes targeted muscles just enough to smooth wrinkles without affecting your ability to express emotions naturally. The goal is a refreshed look, not a stiff or unnatural appearance.
  • Myth 2: Botox Isn’t Safe 
    Botox is approved by Health Canada and the FDA, with over 20 years of clinical use supporting its safety. It’s one of the most studied cosmetic treatments worldwide. At Rejuvenation Dermatology, strict protocols and medical expertise ensure every treatment is both safe and effective.
  • Myth 3: Botox Is Only for Older Adults 
    While popular among older adults, Botox is increasingly used preventatively by people in their 20s and 30s. Early treatment can slow the formation of fine lines and maintain youthful skin.
  • Myth 4: Botox Results Are Immediate and Permanent 
    Botox takes several days to show effects, typically 3–5 days, with full results visible by two weeks. Effects are temporary, usually lasting 3–4 months, requiring maintenance treatments to sustain results.
  • Myth 5: Botox Causes Dangerous Side Effects 
    Serious side effects are rare when Botox is administered by trained professionals. Most patients experience only mild, temporary redness or bruising at injection sites. Patient safety is a top priority at Rejuvenation Dermatology.
