Botox Cosmetic
BOTOX® Treatment in Peterborough
BOTOX® Cosmetic is used to temporarily lessen or eliminate lines and wrinkles on the face and neck.
This cosmetic injectable treatment can take years off your facial appearance by relaxing muscles that create wrinkles, thereby reducing frown lines, crow’s feet and other minor facial wrinkles. As a result, existing lines are softened, which improves the appearance of the surrounding skin. Botox is often combined with facial fillers and the new Selphyl (PRP) system to enhance the cosmetic benefit.

Today Botox® has become the most popular cosmetic treatment in North America with an estimated 3 million treatments annually.
What to Expect During Your BOTOX® Treatment
During your treatment at SKiN Laser Clinic in Peterborough, it will be discussed which of your facial muscles will need injection. BOTOX® Injectable skin treatments are very quick, and are often referred to as a “lunchtime” procedure as the entire 'no-downtime' treatment only takes a few minutes.
Recovery and Results
There is very little recovery time following a BOTOX® treatment. You will be able to resume most normal activities immediately. BOTOX® treatments last from three to six months. However, this may vary, based on the patient and the area that has been treated. Following BOTOX® treatment, the patient’s skin will appear smoother, and wrinkles that were the result of age, stress or worry will be either be removed or significantly less noticeable.
