Cosmetic Botox Edmonton: Usage, Efficacy, Cost, and More
At Albany Cosmetic & Laser Centre, our team specializes in cosmetic Botox treatments designed to soften lines, relax wrinkles, and enhance natural beauty. Botox® is a purified protein derived from Clostridium botulinum that temporarily blocks nerve signals to targeted muscles. When those muscles relax, dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, forehead creases and crow’s feet smooth out without dramatically changing your facial expressions

Botox is priced per unit, typically around $10 per unit, with most sessions costing $200–$600, depending on the areas treated. The procedure itself takes about 15–30 minutes and requires minimal downtime. You can expect to see improvements within a few days and full results in about two weeks; effects usually last three to six months.

What Is Cosmetic Botox?
Botox is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When injected into targeted muscles, Botox temporarily blocks nerve signals that cause muscle contractions.
How Does Botox Work?
By relaxing the muscles that create expression lines – such as frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet – Botox smooths the skin and prevents deeper lines from forming without dramatically altering your facial expressions.
Botox vs. Other Neurotoxin Brands
The first neuromodulator approved for cosmetic use (2002), widely studied and trusted. Provides precise control and predictable results.
Also a type A neuromodulator. Some studies suggest a slightly faster onset and broader diffusion, which may be useful for treating larger areas such as the forehead lines.
A highly purified formulation without accessory proteins. This “naked” toxin may reduce the risk of antibody development over time.
A newer neuromodulator similar to Botox. It relaxes muscles to smooth wrinkles, and its dosing and duration are comparable.

The Botox Procedure at Albany Cosmetics in Edmonton
We’ll review your medical history, assess facial muscles, and discuss your goals to confirm if Botox is right for you. Avoid alcohol, blood thinners, and certain supplements a few days prior to reduce bruising.
A topical numbing cream may be applied, though most find the injections tolerable. Botox is injected with a fine needle in under 15 minutes. Avoid exercise and stay upright for 24 hours. Results start in 3–5 days, peak at 7–14 days, and last 3–4 months.
Aftercare Tips
- No touching: Don’t rub the treated area for 24 hours.
- Stay upright: Avoid lying down or bending for 4 hours; sleep on your back.
