NEUROMODULATORS · TREATMENT
Anti-wrinkle injections
Botulinum toxin injections temporarily reduce activity in selected facial muscles. They can soften movement-related frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet, while the plan takes account of your natural expressions.
Is it right for me?
Adults concerned about movement-related lines may be assessed. Static creases, loose skin and volume loss can need a different approach; pregnancy, breastfeeding, neuromuscular conditions and medication history need discussion.
Treatment is unsuitable with an infection at the injection site or allergy to the proposed product. Neuromuscular illness, swallowing or breathing problems and medicines that affect muscle function need specific review. Pregnancy and breastfeeding require discussion because safety data are limited; elective treatment may be deferred.
Evidence and realistic expectations.
Botulinum toxin has clinical-trial support for selected expression lines. Results and approved uses depend on the formulation and area. Evidence for one facial area does not establish the same benefit for another.
The effect is temporary muscle relaxation. It does not add volume, remove excess skin or guarantee complete removal of lines at rest. Product units cannot be compared or converted by patients.
Risks to understand.
Bruising, headache, asymmetry and unwanted muscle weakness can occur. Depending on the area, this can affect the eyelids, smile, chewing or neck. Rare spread of toxin effect can cause serious weakness. Trouble speaking, swallowing or breathing after treatment needs immediate medical attention.
What to expect.
Consultation
Discuss your concern, medical history, previous treatments and what you would like to preserve. Dr. Roy will explain suitable options, alternatives, risks and fees before you decide.
Treatment
After assessing your face at rest and in motion, Dr. Roy explains the proposed areas and places small injections. The product and amount are chosen during the medical assessment.
Recovery
Allow for temporary injection marks or bruising. Dr. Roy will explain activity and aftercare advice for the areas treated; do not plan around a promise of zero downtime.
Results and review
Changes develop over several days and are commonly reviewed around two weeks. Effects are temporary, often lasting a few months, with individual variation.
Number of visits
Start with one assessed treatment and a review. Repeat treatment is considered when appropriate, rather than following an automatic fixed schedule.
