Botox Toronto-What’s The Deal With Botox?

by

Botox Toronto Whats The Deal With Botox
If you search on Groupon or Google for Botox injections, you will find a long list of coupons and clinics advertising Botox for a cheap price. Understandably everyone likes to know they are getting a good deal when it comes to purchasing products or services, but Botox is not a normal product, most of the time the deal is not worth the aftermath.

Botox is not cheap so when someone is offering cheap Botox injections there’s a reason why.

Sometimes the one performing the injections are either a non-professional or they are just newly qualified. Complications can arise if the injector is not experienced or if they have not had proper training, especially if they are doing more intricate work such as a Botox brow lift. Even simple Botox injections require a specially trained practitioner who understands anatomy of the face and how to inject in the right areas and not cause ptosis but still allow natural expressions to be made.

Another way a clinic can afford to offer Botox at a cheap price is they are not using real Botox.

There are various products that are neuromodulators like Botox out in the world but few if any are FDA approved for facial wrinkles. These products may not be as effective or may wear off quicker than Botox does, meaning you will end up spending more anyway to get the results you want.

Always make sure that the injector is using patented Botox by Allergan. A clinic may even dilute their Botox offering it a cheaper price knowing that it will wear off sooner and customers will need to return for more.

There is a good saying that good Botox is never cheap and cheap Botox is never good.

Do your research when looking for a Botox injector, make sure the injector is a highly qualified professional and they are using the correct product. Remember Botox results good or bad last for 3-4 months.

Botox Toronto-Botox Injections Before An Event

by

Botox Toronto Botox Before A Big Event

Many patients decide to have a Botox treatment in order to look their best just before a big event, however timing is key to getting that desired result.
If a patient would like to use Botox to diminish fine lines and wrinkles before an event, keep in mind that Botox results take between 7-10 days to fully appear. Having Botox on the day of your big event or only a few days before is not recommended, since the Botox will not have fully kicked in within that time.
Even if a patient doesn’t need their Botox to be fully set before an event, patients should still consider timing their Botox treatments.
Patients are not advised to drink alcohol or exercise 24-48 hours following a Botox treatment. If a patient is attending an event or class that will include drinking alcohol or exercise within that time frame they increase the likelihood of bruising and other side effects.
A third reason to give yourself sufficient time before your event is to allow your practitioner time to make any small adjustments needed.
If a patient is trying Botox for the first time or a patient has not had Botox in quite some time, a practitioner will want to start them off on a smaller dosage of Botox and slowly ease them into their treatments.
If you want to have a refreshed youthful appearance for a special event, Botox can be your best beauty secret, simply give yourself sufficient time to allow for adjustments and for any Botox injections to take full effect.

Botox Toronto-Lip Flip vs Lip Fillers

by

Botox Toronto Botox Lip Flip vs. Lip Filler

Trying to decide between a Botox Lip Flip or Lip Fillers? There are distinct differences between these two treatments that may help you decide.
The Botox Lip Flip is quickly becoming the most requested procedure for women. A Botox lip flip is a nonsurgical procedure that can help people achieve a fuller upper lip without dermal filler.
The Lip flip involves only a small amount of Botox. Injections are made into the muscled area just above your top lip. Botox relaxes the muscle and the lip rolls out revealing more of the natural pink.
This creates the illusion of more volume and will stop the top lip from moving up too far when smiling. The added benefit is that a Botox Lip Flip can be done quickly with little to no bruising. A Botox lip flip will last up to 2 months and can be repeated when needed.
Lip fillers like Juvederm or Teosyal are injected directly into the meat of the lips to add volume and definition. Lip fillers are Hylauronic acid based and plump up the lips to help enhance or change the shape of your lips, and improve symmetry. Lip fillers can last up to 2 years and can be repeated as needed.
Deciding between a Botox lip flip and Lip Filler can be tricky, but choosing the proper practitioner can help you make the right choice. At Lasting Looks Clinic we will advise you on which treatment would be most beneficial for your needs.

by

Botox Toronto What To Avoid Beforehand
Many patients are familiar with aftercare but there is actually several things a patient can avoid before their Botox treatment to minimize any side effects.

The most common side effect of Botox treatments is bruising. A practitioner will use techniques to try to avoid this, however the chance of bruising can be made worse by the use of drinking alcohol prior to treatment, anti-inflammatory medications, fish oils & Vitamin E.

Alcohol consumption dilates blood vessels, which can then increase bruising. It’s best to avoid alcohol 24-48 hours before and after your Botox treatment for optimal results.

Another culprit that increases bruising during a Botox treatment is aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, and Aleve.

Fish oil, Ginko Biloba, St. John’s Wort and high doses of vitamin E can also cause an increased risk of bleeding and bruising at the treatment area. Avoid these for 7-10 days prior to procedure.

It is also strongly recommended to avoid having your Botox treatment if you are feeling unwell or on any antibiotics.

As with any injection, there are risks such as pain, bleeding, bruising, redness, swelling, tenderness, and infection. This can be made worse if you are feeling unwell or are suffering from a cold, flu, insomnia or other illnesses.

To be ready for your Botox treatment, the best course is to speak with your practitioner and get all the information on what you can do before and after your treatment.

Botox Toronto-Can I Drink Alcohol After?

by

Botox Toronto Can I Have Alcohol After Botox
Botox is a FDA-approved neuromodulator that relaxes muscles to soften the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
A common question is, can a patient have alcohol after their Botox treatment? The simple answer is No!
Patients are strongly encouraged to avoid consuming alcohol before and after their Botox treatment.
Why avoid alcohol? There are a number of reasons.
Reason number one is that alcohol thins the blood which in turn can increase bruising. When receiving Botox, patients are injected in various areas using needles to pierce the skin. With any injection there is a small chance of bruising. However, drinking alcohol after a Botox injection can worsen a bruise that may otherwise have been unnoticeable under the skin.
Alcohol consumption after a Botox treatment will result in the widening of your blood vessels. This can cause swelling which then leads to additional complications to your Botox injections.

To have optimal and discreet Botox results, avoid alcohol before and 24 hours after a Botox treatment. This is something patients can control on their end to get the best Botox results.

Botox Toronto-Botox Shaming

by

Botox Toronto Botox Shaming
Have you experienced Botox shaming?

For as long as Botox has been around it has been associated with misconceptions about the product and what Botox ultimately achieves.

In a society where the idea of “My body, my choice” is so prevalent, surprisingly the idea of Botox is still a bit of a faux pas.

Why do we shame those who decide to have Botox?

Generally, people are judging Botox and the people who use it by “reality” TV shows or viral photos of ones who have bad Botox; these are extreme cases and shouldn’t be the bar that Botox is judged on.

Typically when a patient has good Botox, other than their appearance looking more refreshed and relaxed, it is hard for onlookers to tell if they have had injections or not.
Another argument some have is that they feel those who turn to Botox are neglecting their natural beauty.

The truth is….Botox is a popular product that has helped millions to feel more comfortable in their own skin.

As we age, noticeable changes start to take affect with one’s appearance. Our hair starts to turn grey, wrinkles and fine lines start to appear and we lose bone. As these changes start to become more noticeable this can start to discourage a person and they can feel insecure about how they look. The natural response is to remedy these signs of aging.

Botox is the leading beauty trend of the day. According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, more than 4.5 million people in the U.S. alone received Botox in 2016.

Botox is a safe product. It is neuromodulator that relaxes overactive muscles that cause wrinkles to appear, typically when we smile, frown or squint. It can be injected to treat frown lines, gummy smile, TMJ, facial slimming, wrinkles, chin dimpling and so on

Whether a patient wants to look younger or simply wants to look refreshed; Botox can help.

Our physical appearance can have a high impact on how we feel. Botox allows one to feel beautiful, young and positive about how they look. Patients can be as they see themselves beautiful and full of life.

To look as good as you feel with the help of Botox visit Lasting Looks Clinic located in the Toronto Kingsway.
