“Botox is more than just a wrinkle relaxer—it’s a confidence booster. Our goal is to enhance your natural beauty while preserving facial expressions.”
What is Botox?
Botox Cosmetic is a Health Canada-approved neuromodulator derived from a purified protein. It works by relaxing targeted facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles—lines formed by repetitive movement like frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows. This results in smoother, younger-looking skin without compromising natural expression.
At Albany Laser, we use Botox, Dysport, and Nuceiva, allowing us to customize your treatment for optimal results.

Botox Anti-Wrinkle Injections and What to Expect
Before the treatment, your provider will cleanse the target areas and may apply numbing cream to ensure minimal discomfort. The injection points are carefully marked with a washable pencil, allowing precise placement of Botox to target the desired muscles. An ultra-fine needle is used to administer Botulinum Toxin into the marked areas. Most clients feel only a tiny pinch, and the injections are quick and virtually painless.
A typical session involves a series of small injections tailored to your needs. After treatment, we often apply a cool pack or gentle cold air to soothe the skin and reduce redness or swelling. A light application of arnica cream may be used to prevent bruising. The entire appointment usually takes about 15–30 minutes. There’s no significant downtime, and you can resume your daily activities immediately with a few simple aftercare guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Botox Injection painful?
Injections are quick and almost painless. Most patients feel only a small pinch from the tiny needle, and it’s over in seconds. If you’re worried, we can apply a numbing cream or ice to the area beforehand, but in general, discomfort is very minimal.
How soon will I see results from Botox?
The effect is not instantaneous, but it works fairly quickly. You may start to notice subtle smoothing within 3 to 5 days after your injections. The full results take around 10 to 14 days to appear, once the Botox has completely relaxed the targeted muscles. It’s quite exciting to see those lines fade away gradually over the first couple of weeks!
How long do Botox treatment results last?
The wrinkle-reducing effects aren’t permanent, but they last a good while. Most people enjoy their results for about 3 to 4 months before muscle movement slowly returns. Over time (and with repeated treatments), you might find your results lasting a bit longer as your muscles become trained to stay relaxed. We recommend scheduling maintenance sessions about three or four times a year to keep your skin looking consistently smooth.
Will I look frozen or fake?
Not at Albany Laser. Our goal is always natural rejuvenation—you’ll still look like you, just more refreshed.
Can I exercise after Botox injections?
It’s best to avoid strenuous exercise for about 24 hours after your treatment. Activities like heavy weight lifting, intense cardio, or yoga inversions (where you’re upside down) could potentially cause the Botox to move from the injection area before it settles. We suggest taking a day off from the gym right after your appointment. Light activities, like walking, are perfectly fine. By the next day, you can resume your normal workout routine with no issues.
Is Botox suitable for men?
Absolutely – this isn’t just for women. An increasing number of men in Edmonton are getting wrinkle relaxer to maintain a youthful appearance or to address issues like forehead creases, frown lines, and excessive sweating. The procedure and benefits are the same for all genders. At Albany Laser Centre, we tailor every treatment to the individual, whether you’re male or female, to ensure natural-looking results. In fact, many male clients love that Botox gives them a refreshed look without anyone guessing they’ve had “work done.”
