Cosmetic Botox/Dysport

Botox® and Dysport® are consumer-friendly brands of botulinum toxin. They are among the world’s most popular anti-aging treatments. Safe and non-invasive, skilled injections of these neuromodulators leave your face looking smooth, relaxed and natural.

If you have frown lines between your eyebrows, crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles or neck creases, this treatment can help by blocking nerve signals and relaxing the area. A neuromodulator can also lift the brow and open the eye, lessen a gummy smile, minimize lip puckering, and reduce the width of the lower face.

Injections take about 10 minutes and you’ll experience minimal discomfort. There’s no recovery time needed, and you can expect noticeable results within days. BOTOX should last upwards of 3-5 months, but results may vary.

Whether you’re smoothing out existing wrinkles or visiting the clinic for prejuvenation, Botox® and Dysport® are effective muscle relaxers for aging skin or wrinkle prevention.

Keloid/Scar Injections

Keloid scars can be treated with steroid injections to reduce inflammation and soften the tissue. Steroid injections can reduce the raised or full scars, and is best employed within the first few months after the scar forms. A referral is required for an initial evaluation to assess the scars and the appropriate treatment plan.

If you have skin lesions you wish to say goodbye to, a referral is required for a consultation to learn what options you have to safely take charge of your skin.

TMJ/Bruxism
Botox Treatment

Book Victoria

Book Burnaby

If you suffer from TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain then you know that waking up with a stiff and sore jaw is no way to start the day. For some, the pain is also in the temples, neck, and shoulders. Clenching and grinding in our sleep strengthens those muscles which causes them to become larger over time, contributing to the appearance of a wide or bulky jaw. Bruxism can also lead to excessive wear such as chipped and cracked teeth which can result in costly reparative procedures. Your dentist may suggest a night guard to protect your teeth from wear but there is another option. Botox is an effective treatment that targets those tense jaw muscles, relaxing them so that they can’t trigger the tension and pain.

Photodynamic Therapy

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a unique non-invasive treatment to address precancerous and cancerous lesions such as actinic keratoses on the skin. PDT addresses what is seen and what lurks just below the surface in sun-damaged skin to help prevent the development of cancerous lesions. PDT is also known to improve the clarity of the skin tone and can be considered to address moderate to severe acne.
