While it’s true you can’t prevent the aging process, at Okanagan Skin Care Centre we can help you naturally slow its progress through the use of BOTOX® injections - a simple non-surgical procedure that brightens your face, smoothes out frown lines and makes you look and feel years younger. BOTOX® therapy is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the world and has a number of therapeutic applications.
Aging is inevitable but with our incredible team of Registered Nurses who are dedicated to providing you with customized BOTOX® solutions to suit your goals and lifestyle, you can do it gracefully, beautifully and confidently.
BOTOX® therapy works by blocking signals from certain facial nerves to your muscles so that they are able to pull the skin tighter and smoothen out any unwanted frown lines and wrinkles. During a comprehensive consultation with one of our skin care experts, you will discuss the aesthetic goals of your treatment beforehand so that they can identify certain points of injection to give you the most successful outcome possible.

BOTOX® injections block signals from your facial nerves to your muscles. The treated muscles are no longer able to contract, which causes the wrinkles to relax and soften. Though it has many uses, it is most often used to eliminate forehead lines, crow’s feet and frown lines.
BOTOX® is a quick and relatively painless procedure. Because the treatments are injected through a fine needle, only minor discomfort is experienced. Our Registered Nurses Skincare Specialist will do everything they can to ensure that you stay relaxed and comfortable throughout your procedure.
Prior to your treatment, it is important to talk with one of our Registered Nurses about any precautions you should take regarding the cosmetic procedure. Typically pregnant or lactating mothers should not use BOTOX®. Also, certain medications can aggravate certain side effects of BOTOX® so it is important to disclose your full medical history and all the medications you are currently taking to our specialists.
After your procedure you may experience slight bruising and on the rare occasion, a mild headache. However, both of these are minor effects and are resolved quickly. You will begin noticing the improvements of your treatment within 1-2 weeks, with the effects lasting for up to 4 months.
