Anti-Wrinkle Botulinum Toxin Injections in Montreal

Forehead (Frontalis): Obviously, eyebrow movements play a significant role in facial expressions, which can lead to the formation of horizontal lines on the forehead. No need to worry though, you keep enjoying life and expressing yourself! We’ve got you!

Botulinum toxin treatments can significantly enhance the look of these lines, allowing you to express emotions freely. Typically, 10-20 units of botulinum toxin are needed for effective treatment in this region.

Forehead (Corrugator Supercilii Procerus): Also known as the 11 Lines, the vertical creases that appear between the eyebrows due to frowning or concentration are effectively treated with Botulinum toxin. Our bestie (AKA: Neuromodulators) can smooth out these lines, and also alleviate headaches caused by muscle strain in this area. Typical dosage ranges from 15-30 units.

Eyebrow (Orbicularis Oculi): A targeted botulinum toxin injection can subtly lift the eyebrows, resulting in higher, more arched brows. The procedure usually requires about 10 units of botulinum toxin.

Eyes (Orbicularis Oculi): Daily facial activities like smiling and squinting lead to the development of Crow’s Feet around the eyes. Because we know how important it is to smile in life, botulinum toxin can help you keep calm and smiling!

Botulinum toxin relaxes these muscles, minimizing wrinkles and folds, leading to a smoother facial appearance. This type of treatment usually requires 12-24 units of botulinum toxin.

Nose (Nasalis): Bunny lines, which appear on the nose during squinting or snarling, can be softened with botulinum toxin. Effective treatment often requires 8-16 units.

Nose (Depressor Septi Nasi): Botulinum toxin for a non-surgical nose lift typically involves injecting 5-10 units into the depressor septi nasi muscle, which is responsible for pulling the nose downward. By relaxing this muscle, botulinum toxin helps lift the tip of the nose, creating a more refined and elevated appearance without surgery.

This cost-effective alternative offers natural-looking results that can help enhance facial features while maintaining an overall balanced look.

Premaxilla (Levator Labii Superioris: The Levator Labii Superioris Alaeque Nasi, and The Alaeque Nasi): For those feeling self-conscious when smiling, no need for that anymore! Take as many selfies as you want and love your smile with botulinum toxin!

Botulinum toxin injections can reduce gum visibility by targeting the upper lip muscles. This procedure typically needs 4-6 units of botulinum toxin.

Mouth (Depressor Anguli Oris): Botulinum toxin can lift the drooping corners of the mouth by relaxing the DAO muscles that pull the lips downward. This treatment typically requires 6-12 units of Botulinum toxin.

A well-known technique is the Cleopatra botulinum toxin. This technique is designed to enhance the corners of the mouth by targeting the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscles. The Cleopatra technique effectively lifts the corners of the mouth, giving a more youthful and cheerful appearance.

Chin (Mentalis): Botulinum toxin can smooth the dimpled or “orange peel” texture of the chin by targeting the mentalis muscle. For noticeable improvement, this usually involves 6-10 units of botulinum toxin.

Neck (Platysma): Prominent vertical bands in the neck, caused by descending platysma muscles with age, can be softened with botulinum toxin treatment, usually 30-60 units.

A popular treatment is the Nefertiti Lift with Botulinum toxin, which enhances the jawline and neck by targeting the platysma bands. This procedure reduces the downward pull and provides a more youthful, contoured appearance to the neck and jaw area.

Lift Flip (Orbicularis Oris): The botulinum toxin lip flip consists of administering 4-6 units of botulinum toxin around the center of the upper lip, particularly near the cupid’s bow, and at the corners. This procedure targets the orbicularis oris muscles that encircle the upper lip, relaxing them so the lip can subtly roll outward, enhancing its fullness and defining its shape more distinctly.

Jaw (Masseter): Botulinum toxin treatment for bruxism targets the masseter muscles, injecting about 40-80 units to relax these muscles and reduce teeth grinding and jaw clenching. This not only alleviates jaw tension and pain but also helps prevent wear on teeth, promoting a more comfortable, healthy jaw function. It can also be used for contouring of the face.

Upper Back (Trapezius): Injecting botulinum toxin into the trapezius muscles can reduce their size and tension, leading to a more elongated neck and shoulder appearance.

This can help alleviate neck and shoulder pain and discomfort caused by various activities, offering both aesthetic and therapeutic benefits.

Botulinum toxin treatment for excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, typically involves injecting approximately 50-100 units directly into the skin of the affected areas, such as the underarms. This treatment targets the sweat glands themselves rather than the muscles, blocking the nerve signals that trigger excessive sweating. This safe and effective procedure can significantly reduce sweating, improving comfort and confidence in social and professional settings.

MicroBotox — also called Mesobotox, Microtoxin or intradermal botulinum toxin — uses very small, superficial amounts of botulinum toxin distributed across the skin rather than targeting only the deeper facial muscles.

Depending on your skin and treatment goals, it may help improve the appearance of enlarged or visible pores, excessive facial oiliness, uneven-looking skin texture, fine superficial lines, excessive facial sweating and overall skin smoothness. The goal is a smoother, fresher and more refined appearance without unnecessarily reducing natural facial expression.

Under-eye (Orbicularis Oculi): In carefully selected patients, small doses of botulinum toxin may help soften certain dynamic lines beneath the eyes. This area is assessed on its own, because not every under-eye concern is muscular in origin and not every patient is a suitable candidate.

Baby Botox uses lower, carefully distributed doses when the goal is subtle movement reduction and a natural result rather than complete muscle relaxation. It suits patients who want expression clearly preserved, those starting treatment for the first time, and those who prefer to build results gradually across visits.

In selected patients with active acne and excessive sebum production, intradermal MicroBotox may be considered as an adjunctive, off-label treatment. By influencing sebaceous and sweat-gland activity, superficial botulinum toxin may help reduce excessive oil production and create an environment that is less favourable to some acne breakouts.

Botulinum toxin is not a first-line treatment or a cure for acne. Active acne should be properly assessed, particularly when it is inflammatory, cystic, painful, persistent, or at risk of causing scarring.

For patients who want to improve overall skin quality rather than simply treat wrinkles, MicroBotox can be incorporated into a customized mesotherapy or skin-quality protocol when clinically appropriate.

Depending on the treatment selected, a skin-rejuvenation program may combine superficial botulinum toxin with compatible skin-quality treatments addressing hydration, fine lines, skin texture, pore appearance, excessive oiliness, dull-looking skin and overall smoothness and radiance.

Treatment selection and products are individualized. Botulinum toxin is only mixed or combined with another injectable product when the specific preparation and technique are medically appropriate and compatible; otherwise, treatments are administered separately as part of the same overall protocol.

MicroBotox techniques may also be used in selected areas beyond the traditional upper face, including the lower face, neck and décolleté. The objective is to improve the appearance of superficial skin — texture, fine crepey lines and overall smoothness — while maintaining a natural result and preserving normal movement.

Nose (Nasalis, dilator naris): Selected injections around the nostrils may help reduce excessive muscular nostril flaring in appropriate candidates. Suitability depends on whether the flaring is muscular in origin rather than structural, which is assessed at consultation.

Mouth (Orbicularis Oris): Micro-doses of botulinum toxin may soften dynamic vertical lines around the mouth — the fine creases that deepen with pursing and repeated lip movement. Doses here are deliberately small, so that speech, eating and natural lip function are preserved.

In selected cases, botulinum toxin may help rebalance excessive muscular activity contributing to an asymmetric smile. Treatment relaxes the overactive side rather than adding movement to the weaker one, and depends on a careful assessment of which muscles are actually driving the asymmetry.

Jaw (Masseter): Treatment of enlarged or overactive masseter muscles may be considered for a square or wide lower-face appearance caused by muscular hypertrophy, for facial slimming and V-line contouring, for jaw clenching and bruxism, and for muscle-related jaw tension.

As muscular prominence gradually decreases, the lower face may appear slimmer and more tapered. These changes develop over several weeks rather than immediately.

The Nefertiti Lift targets selected lower-face and platysma muscles to reduce downward muscular pull, creating a cleaner-looking jawline and a subtly lifted appearance. It is most often considered by patients whose main concern is jawline definition rather than individual wrinkles.

Neck (Platysma): Strategic treatment may reduce downward muscular tension and improve the appearance of the neck and jawline. This is a muscular treatment — it does not remove skin laxity or fat — so candidacy depends on what is actually driving the appearance of your neck, which is assessed at consultation.

In patients with prominent or overactive neck and shoulder musculature, appropriate treatment may create the visual impression of a more elongated, refined neck. It is commonly combined with trapezius treatment when the shoulders are contributing to a shortened-looking neckline.

Botulinum toxin is an established preventive treatment for chronic migraine in appropriately selected patients. It is administered across defined head, neck and shoulder sites on a set schedule, and requires medical assessment to confirm the diagnosis and your suitability before treatment begins.

Calves (Gastrocnemius): For patients whose calves appear enlarged primarily because of muscular hypertrophy, carefully selected botulinum toxin injections may gradually reduce muscular prominence and create a slimmer-looking calf.

Because these muscles matter for walking and balance, appropriate assessment, dosing and patient selection are essential. Calves that are enlarged by fat rather than muscle will not respond to this treatment.
