What Is the Cost of a Botox Injectable Treatment in Toronto?

The average cost for a Botox unit is usually between $12 to $18 per unit. Of course, the price will vary depending on the treatment area and the type of Botox units used.

What Is the Recovery Time for a Botox Injectable Treatment?

There is no recovery time for a Botox treatment in Toronto. However, try not to rub or massage the treated areas right after your treatment, as it may cause the injectable to migrate to other areas.

How Long Does the Botox Injectable Treatment take?

The Botox injectable treatment takes a few minutes to perform and does not require anesthesia. After the treatment, it will take 1-2 weeks to experience the full effect. Avoid alcohol one week before the procedure and stop taking anti-inflammatory medications and aspirin two weeks before the treatment.

What Is a Botox Injectable Treatment?

Botox injectables are a non-invasive treatment involving a toxin being injected into the muscle via a small needle. This injection blocks certain signals to nerves which cause the muscles to move and contract.

Botox is commonly used to relax areas on the face where wrinkles may appear, like the forehead, smile lines, crow’s feet, and in-between the eyebrows. However, Botox can also treat neck muscle spasms, lazy eyes, muscle contractures, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), bladder dysfunction, twitching, and migraines.

Who Is the Ideal Candidate for a Botox Injectable Treatment?

If you are 18 or older, in good health, and struggling with crow’s feet, smile lines, forehead wrinkles, excessive sweating, drooping eyebrows, wrinkles, or migraines, you may be the perfect candidate for a Botox injectable treatment in Toronto.

You are not an ideal candidate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, are not in good health, may have an allergic reaction to the ingredients in Botox, or have neuromuscular diseases that may complicate the Botox treatment.

Benefits of Botox

Botox has many benefits, both aesthetically and in treating various health conditions or muscle issues. Botox can: 

  • Significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles
  • Treat neck spasms
  • Treat hyperhidrosis
  • Fix a lazy eye
  • Fix bladder issues
  • Prevent chronic migraines

Botox also requires no downtime, is painless, and is non-invasive.

Risks of Botox

For the vast majority of Botox treatment patients, the procedure is safe when performed by an experienced doctor like TPS’s trusted aesthetic specialist. Some side effects you may experience after the treatment may include: 

  • pain 
  • swelling 
  • bruising 
  • headache 
  • flu-like symptoms 
  • drooping in the treated areas

If you experience these symptoms, please get in touch with your treatment team to find a quick resolution.

The more unlikely but still possible risk of receiving a Botox treatment involves the injected toxin spreading to your body. Please call your doctor if you experience muscle weakness, trouble speaking or swallowing, vision problems, loss of bladder control, or trouble breathing.

Preparing yourself for Botox Injectable Treatment

Things you should do to prepare yourself for your Botox injectable treatment in Toronto include:

  • Try to avoid wearing heavy makeup up to your appointment.
  • Do not drink alcohol 48 hours prior.
  • Avoid St. John’s wort, ginkgo blobs, vitamins E+ D, Fish oils, and OTC blood thinning medications 7 days prior.

Expectations after a Botox Treatment

After receiving Botox injectable treatment in Toronto with Toronto Plastic Surgeons Wellness Centre:

  • Keep your head upright for 4 hours
  • No rigorous exercise for 24 hours
  • Avoid constricting hats or head garments for 24 hours
  • Avoid touching or rubbing the treatment area for 24 hours
  • Avoid sauna and hot tubs for 24 hours
  • Take Tylenol as opposed to ibuprofen or aspirin if a headache occurs

What Treatments Can I pair with a Botox Injectable Treatment?

A Botox treatment is often combined with dermal soft tissue filler injections. Energy-based devices, like photofacial, fractional RF/Radiofrequency, or laser resurfacing devices, and bulk heating RF lifting technologies like Thermage, Forma, or Ulthera can be combined with Injectable Wrinkle Relaxers. It is best done before, or one week after, the injection, so the Botox or dermal filler is not directly heated.
