BOTOX TREATMENT SUMMARY

Cost & Pricing

Most cosmetic Botox treatments at Albany Cosmetic & Laser Centre range from $200 to $400 per session, depending on the areas treated, units required, and treatment plan you and your injector agree on during consultation.

What To Expect

Your injector places precise Botox injections into selected facial muscles to soften wrinkles and expression lines, such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet; a typical appointment is quick and takes about 15–30 minutes.

Mechanism of Action

Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily blocks nerve signals from reaching specific facial muscles; when those muscles relax and move less, the overlying skin appears smoother and expression lines become less noticeable over several days.

Benefits & Results

Treatment can soften lines on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes, creating a fresher, rested appearance; most people begin to see changes within 3–7 days, with full results visible around 10–14 days.

Discomfort & Pain Level

Common effects include redness, swelling, or bruises at injection sites, usually fading within hours to a couple of days; more serious complications are rare and will be reviewed with you before treatment at your consultation.

Side Effects & Downtime

Most clients describe Botox injections as brief, mild pinches rather than pain; fine needles are used, and numbing cream or ice can be applied beforehand to increase comfort if you are feeling nervous during treatment.

BOTOX VS. FILLERS: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

Botox (and similar neuromodulators) work by relaxing specific facial muscles. This softens dynamic lines—those that deepen when you frown, squint, or raise your brows—such as frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet. Results usually start to appear within about a week and last around 3–4 months.

Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are gel-like products that add or restore volume. They’re used to treat static lines (wrinkles visible at rest) and to contour features like the cheeks, lips, chin, and jawline. Results are visible immediately and can last 6–18 months or longer, depending on the product and area.

  • Botox to soften expression lines
  • Fillers to restore volume and shape

This combination can create a balanced, natural-looking rejuvenation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a purified neuromodulator used in tiny, controlled doses to soften lines caused by repeated muscle movement. It works by temporarily interrupting the signal between a nerve and the muscle it controls. When the treated muscles relax, the overlying skin looks smoother and lines such as frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet become less noticeable—without adding volume or changing your basic features.
  • Onset: Most people see early smoothing within 3–5 days, with full results around 10–14 days.
  • Duration: Results typically last about 3–4 months, depending on the area treated, dose, and individual metabolism.
  • Targeted effect: When injected precisely, Botox affects only the intended muscles, helping preserve natural expression.
Several type A neuromodulators are approved by Health Canada for cosmetic use. They all work in a similar way but have subtle differences in formulation and clinical use:
  • Botox– The original cosmetic neuromodulator, with a long clinical track record and widely used, well-studied dosing.
  • Dysport® – Also a type A neuromodulator; some clinicians find it has a slightly quicker onset and broader spread, which can be helpful in larger areas like the forehead.
  • Xeomin® – A “naked” toxin that does not include accessory proteins; often chosen when a more streamlined formulation is preferred.
  • Nuceiva® – A newer option with dosing and duration similar to Botox; designed specifically for cosmetic wrinkle treatment.
At Albany Cosmetic & Laser Centre, we use cosmetic Botox from Allergan for our neuromodulator treatments. Each brand uses its own unit system, so units cannot be converted one‑to‑one between products.
A little preparation can help reduce bruising and optimize your results:
  • Medications & supplements (3–7 days before) If your prescribing clinician agrees, consider avoiding non-essential products that increase bruising risk—such as aspirin, ibuprofen/naproxen, fish oil/omega-3, vitamin E, and St. John’s wort.
  • Never change or stop a prescribed blood thinner or other medication without medical advice.
  • Alcohol (24 hours before) Skip alcohol the day before your appointment, as it can increase the chance of bruising.
  • Skin prep (24–48 hours before) Avoid strong topical treatments like retinoids, AHA/BHA exfoliants, and harsh scrubs on the treatment area. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin and no self-tanner in the area.
  • Recent treatments Avoid waxing, threading, facials, microneedling, or laser on the treatment area for 24–48 hours beforehand, unless your provider advises otherwise.
  • Health check Let us know if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, have a neuromuscular condition, active infection or rash, or if you’ve recently been ill or on antibiotics. We may suggest rescheduling if needed.
  • Comfort Eat a light snack and stay hydrated before you come. You can request topical numbing or ice if you’re nervous about injections.

Good aftercare helps reduce bruising and keeps the product where it’s intended to work:

  • First 4 hours
    • Stay upright (no lying down or bending deeply).
    • Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas.
  • First 24 hours
    • Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, hot tubs, or other intense heat exposure.
    • Skip alcohol, which can increase bruising.
    • Do not schedule facial massage, microneedling, laser, or waxing over the treated area.
  • Skin care
    • You can gently cleanse your face, but avoid scrubs, retinoids, acids, and at-home devices for 24–48 hours.
    • Makeup is usually fine after about an hour, as long as there is no pinpoint bleeding.
  • Bruising & discomfort
    • Use wrapped cold packs intermittently if needed.
    • Over-the-counter acetaminophen can be used for discomfort, if appropriate for you.
    • To minimize bruising, continue to avoid non-essential blood thinners where safe (never change prescribed medications without medical advice).

You can expect to start seeing results in 3–5 days, with full effect around 10–14 days.

  • For the first 4 hours, stay upright and avoid touching, massaging, or compressing treated areas.
  • Optionally, move treated muscles—don’t rub. For 24 hours, avoid strenuous exercise, heat, and alcohol.
  • To reduce bruising, skip non-essential blood thinners (never stop prescribed meds).
  • You may cleanse gently today; avoid scrubs, retinoids, acids, and devices for 24–48 hours.
  • Makeup is fine after an hour if there’s no pinpoint bleeding. Avoid facial massage, microneedling, laser, or waxing for 24–48 hours.
  • Use wrapped cold packs as needed; use acetaminophen for discomfort. Expect results in 3–5 days, with full effect occurring 10–14 days later.

You may be a good candidate for cosmetic Botox if:

  • You’re a healthy adult (18+) with realistic expectations.
  • You want to soften dynamic lines (frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead creases) without changing your natural features.
  • You’re comfortable maintaining results with touch-up treatments every 3–4 months.
  • You don’t have an active skin infection at the planned injection sites.
  • You’re able to follow simple aftercare instructions (stay upright for 4 hours, avoid strenuous exercise/heat for 24 hours, etc.).
  • You’re open about your medications, bleeding tendency, prior treatments, and any neuromuscular conditions.

Botox may not be suitable right now if you:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Have a known allergy to botulinum toxin or any ingredient in the product.
  • Have certain neuromuscular disorders (such as myasthenia gravis).
  • Have an active infection or rash at the injection site.
  • Are seeking volume or dramatic, immediate changes that are better addressed with fillers or other procedures.

Your injector will review your medical history and goals to determine whether Botox is the right choice for you.
