F. A. Q

Our physician or nurse practitioner injects the affected muscles with Botox Cosmetic to help you achieve the overall look that want.

This depends a lot on the technique of the physician or nurse injector who is administering the Botox Cosmetic injections. Skilled specialists like those at Dermis Advanced Skin Care will perform your injections in a way that looks completely natural. This is but one of many reasons to only trust the knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to Botox injections.

As you might expect of any procedure involving a needle, there’s a very real possibility that this treatment could hurt a little bit. Many of our patients liken the pain to being bit by a mosquito. It’s quick and then gone, just like that. But if you are worried, or are prone to pain at injection sites, the portions of your face that you’re having treated can be numbed with ice before moving forward with the injections. This will help soothe some of the pinching that you will likely feel when the needles are inserted into your face.

About three percent of all patients in clinic studies did report a drooping of their eyelids following Botox Cosmetic procedures. One percent experienced some swelling of the eyelids in association with the crow’s feet treatment. Other potential side effects include dry mouth, pain in the injection site, headaches, neck pain, and double or blurred vision. Most of these side effects are strictly temporary, and were only found in a small percentage of patients participating in the clinical study.

If you are concerned after experiencing any of these side effects, you can call us at (613)233-6823.

It is best to discuss this with your physician or nurse injector. They will help you to determine how many treatments are necessary for you to get the results that you want. However, each individual treatment typically lasts no longer than ten to fifteen minutes.

This depends on a number of factors, including: the number of sites being injected, the amount of units of Botox Cosmetic used in each site, as well as the frequency of treatments. It is also essential to note that you are not just paying for the treatment itself when you pay for Botox Cosmetic at Dermis Advanced Skin Care. You are also paying for the knowledge and expertise of specially trained physicians and nurse injectors who know how to best administer the injections.

The best way to figure out how much you can expect to spend on your Botox Cosmetic treatment is to schedule a consultation with a specialist like those found at Dermis Advanced Skin Care. They will be able to take your personal circumstances into account.

We give patients the option of enrolling in the Brilliant Distinctions Rewards Program, which saves you money on these treatments. This rewards program offers you points for each treatment that you complete, with these points being redeemable for future treatments so that you can maintain the smooth and natural results of your Botox without breaking the bank. These points can also be redeemed for other types of medical treatments, as approved by your physician or nurse injector.

The number of injections that you receive depends on the areas that are being treated.

There actually is no recovery time after your Botox Cosmetic procedure, though some activities like strenuous exercise are prohibited within the first twenty four hours. You can resume your normal life as soon as you leave the clinic.

Yes! And it’s actually much more common that you might think. Men choose Botox for the same reasons that women do. Statistics reveal that around twenty percent of patients treated within the past few years were men, and that is no small number.

The American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery found that about ten percent of cosmetic procedures performed in 2014 were performed on men. This means that around one million men received a cosmetic procedure of some type during 2014. This is a 270 percent increase from figures pulled in 1997.
