Botulinum Type A Toxin “Neuromodulators“, such as BOTOX Cosmetic®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®, are made of very low doses of purified protein produced by Clostridium botulinum bacterium. This Health Canada authorized medication is used for specific therapeutic uses, including temporary relaxation of muscles. Neuromodulators such as BOTOX Cosmetic®, Dysport®, and/or Xeomin® are injected directly into muscles to block the transmission of nerve impulses to reduce the activity of the injected muscles. This temporary prevention of muscle contraction results in the reduction of facial lines; namely, the dynamic wrinkles in the upper facial rhytides, including forehead, lateral canthus, and glabella lines.

SKINLIFE – No. 1 Aesthetic Injection Clinic in Canada
SKINLIFE holds the proud title of being Galderma Canada’s Top Injector for 4 consecutive years in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, which is a designation awarded to the clinic that has provided the highest volume of aesthetic injectables including Restylane® fillers, Dysport® botulinum toxin, and Sculptra® (injectable poly-L-lactic acid) each year across Canada. For a single injector clinic like SKINLIFE, achieving the top volume status is a remarkable feat on its own merit. Medical research confirms that when doctors and institutions perform procedures more frequently, they do so with greater skill and improved safety. While the case volume is certainly not the only factor of consideration when selecting one’s cosmetic injector, SKINLIFE believes this may be an indicator of the level of skills, knowledge, and artistry behind each injection at SKINLIFE. The SKINLIFE Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin injection services are grounded firmly on in-depth anatomical knowledge and extensive clinical experience.
NEUROMODULATORS – WHAT & HOW
NEUROMODULATORS – RESULT
There is minimal to no downtime following neuromodulator injections. The results of BOTOX Cosmetic®, Dysport®, and/or Xeomin® take an average of 4-7 days to come into effect. The treatment duration itself is rather quick, lasting approximately 15 minutes depending on the area(s) treated. Because neuromodulators are not for permanent changes to the body, injected muscles, especially those that are strong and frequently used, gradually return to their pre-treatment state without periodic repeat treatments. Most patients repeat injections every 3-6 months for the maintenance of treatment benefits, depending on the treatment area(s), current muscle movement, and patient preference.
