Botox: Clinically Proven, Scientifically Backed

Botox is more than a wrinkle treatment; it's one of the most studied and trusted non-surgical aesthetic solutions available. Made from a purified protein (botulinum toxin type A), Botox temporarily reduces muscle activity by blocking nerve signals. This relaxes the muscles responsible for expression lines, smoothing out crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology in Calgary, our experienced team uses Botox to treat signs of aging with accuracy and subtlety. We believe Botox works best when it enhances your natural expressions, and not when it freezes them. Whether used for prevention or correction, it continues to lead the way in safe, effective cosmetic care. 

How Botox Works: A Breakdown of the Science

Targets Dynamic Wrinkles 

Botox is specifically designed to treat dynamic wrinkles, lines caused by repeated facial movements like smiling, frowning, or squinting. These lines become deeper over time if not addressed.

The Neuromuscular Mechanism 

Botox blocks acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that signals muscle contraction. Without the signal, the targeted muscle relaxes, and the skin above it smooths out.

How Long Does It Last? 

Most Botox results last between 3 to 4 months. Over time, treated muscles regain function, but repeat treatments help maintain results and can even train muscles to contract less, making lines less noticeable between visits.

What to Expect After Treatment

  • Minimal downtime — most patients return to daily life immediately
  • Mild redness or swelling at the injection site (temporary)
  • Full results appear in 3–14 days
  • Follow-up appointments ensure results are balanced and natural

Preventive Botox: Start Early, Age Gracefully 

Younger patients are increasingly choosing Botox to prevent wrinkles before they become deeply set. Known as “preventative Botox,” this approach uses small doses to limit expression lines before they take hold. 

Why Botox Is Still the Gold Standard in Cosmetic Injectables

Despite the rise of newer injectables and treatments, Botox remains unmatched in reliability, safety, and versatility. Its consistent results, minimal downtime, and broad applications keep it at the forefront of cosmetic dermatology.
