Botox can be used to treat excess sweating in the under arm areas. The toxin act by blocking the release of a neurotransmitter which binds to the sweat gland to signal the release of sweat. The toxins can be injected directly into the skin in the armpits using a fine needle. The procedure involves 15–20 injections in the form of a grid pattern in each axilla. It will take about 3-10 days to see the effect of the treatment and full results can be noticeable in 2-3 weeks. The results may last up to 4-6 months.
There is no specific preparation necessary for this treatment. You should inform the doctor if you are on any blood thinning medications. You can return to work after treatment and there are no serious complications associated with this procedure. Avoid wearing any deodorant or perfumes under arms for 24- 48 hours after the procedure. Avoid intense exercise routines, hot bath and swimming for about 2-3 days after the procedure.
Hands are often one of the neglected parts of the body that may reveal the signs of ageing early. In addition to the natural aging process, constant washing and exposure to sunlight can lead to pigmentation, wrinkles, visible veins, loss of volume and elasticity. Rejuvenation of the hands involves skin care, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, fat grafting and filler injection.
At Toronto Medical Aesthetics clinic we offer rejuvenation of the hand by injecting hyaluronic acid based fillers. The treatment provided instant improvement of appearance by providing volume and improving the wrinkles. The procedure may be associated with discomfort, mild redness and swelling which usually subsides in 24-48 hours. Follow up treatments may be necessary to maintain the results.
Under eye fillers are indicated for the treatment of dark circles, sagging, pigmentation, fine wrinkles and hollowness. These are hyaluronic acid-based fillers and can be used to treat the under eye and tear trough area.
The fillers provide volume and make this area plumper, brighter and reduce the tired appearance. The results are immediate and often last up to 12-18 months. Top up treatments are necessary to maintain the results. Bruising and swelling are common in the treated area and the client should avoid intense exercises and exertion for 24-48 hours and apply ice to reduce the swelling. Combined treatment of the crow’s feet or wrinkles around the eye with neurotoxins provides superior results.
This procedure does not involve general anesthesia of operations. This is a scarless method of correcting minor deformities of the nose. The procedure is popular for increasing the height of the nose bridge and masking small nose humps and irregularities. The dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid are injected into specific areas of the nose using blunt microcannulas.
The clients may experience some swelling and bruising initially for a few days. There will be an instant change in the shape of the nose following injection, which continues to improve over the period of time. The results last from 9 months to one year.
This treatment is an excellent choice for patients who want to avoid surgical rhinoplasty and have temporary improvement in nose shape. The following aesthetic concerns related to the nose could be improved by non- surgical rhinoplasty:
This special procedure is considered for square-shaped faces with big masseter muscles. The masseter muscles are found on either side of the jaw and help in chewing. Sometimes these muscles become prominent with habitual or subconscious grinding of the teeth. With repeated action, these muscles can grow bigger and cause squaring of the jaw area. Sometimes face slimming is required in square-shaped faces to achieve a softer and rounder appearance.
Botox is a muscle relaxant, that when injected into the muscles causes relaxation and eventually shrinking of the muscles. The injection is carried out on either side with 3-4 injections. The procedure causes minimal pain and discomfort.
Often the slimming of the jaw with Botox can be combined with the V lift. The V lift provides contouring of the chin area leading to a graceful oval-shaped face. A small and stubby chin is not an uncommon feature associated with square-shaped faces. While the Botox helps to contour the jaw, the fillers can be useful in contouring the chin. The chin augmentation can add significant changes to the lower face both the front and profile views. The chin augmentation is performed using hyaluronic acid-based fillers. The procedure is associated with minimal side effects with occasional bruising and swelling, which subsides within 24-48 hours.
