Medical Botox Injections Near You
For hyperhydrosis (excess sweating), Botox is used primarily in the axilla (arm-pits) and typically lasts 5-7 months. Waterloo Medical Cosmetics also invoices medication costs directly to insurance companies if needed. However, please note that an additional injection fee of $250 applies (which is generally not covered by private insurance).
What is Botox?
Botox (or its more modern cousin Dysport) is a treatment used to effectively reduce crow’s feet, “11-lines” (the lines between the eyebrows) and forehead lines. Small amounts of Botox help the muscles to relax, thereby reducing wrinkling in the skin and preventing the formation of wrinkles. Low doses in the treated areas help create a natural look for a more confident you!
How Our Treatment Works
Our Botox injections use the smallest needles available (the same size as those used to inject insulin in diabetic children). Clients are usually surprised by how little discomfort they experience! When needed, a numbing cream can be applied 15-20 minutes before injections. Nervous to proceed with treatment? We suggest reading Cosmetic Nurse Kelly's advice for those who, like her, are seriously needle-averse!
Common Questions
What is a laser and how do they work?
Lasers use specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin or hair follicle. By adjusting the wavelengths of the light, the intensity and the surface area affected, our Skin Specialists can cause a wide range of changes to the skin.
Are these treatments safe?
We understand it is natural to worry about any treatments that take place around the eyes, be it lash lifts, extensions, or even microblading. At Waterloo Medical Cosmetics, our experts take utmost care to ensure our procedures don't harm your eyes. We also use proven products which don’t damage the sensitive skin around your eyes.
What does it feel like and are there side effects?
Although our laser’s have a large range of uses, there can be side effects. Post treatment you may notice some mild burning/tightening sensation, redness, swelling, which is completely normal. It would be unusual for pain to linger or for blistering to occur, occasionally the laser can cause cold-sores to flare, we will not work on an area with active cold-sores, this will be discussed during your consultation.
The sensation during the procedure has sometimes been compared to a light rubber band snapping against the area that becomes less noticeable after a few minutes, we offer numbing and cooling for patient comfort, but most clients say it is quick and painless. In particular, our Coolpeel laser, is used for skin resurfacing to create glowing skin, it was specifically designed for minimal discomfort and downtime, creating only a mild “sunburn-like” redness for a day or so and leaves you with the smoothest, glowing skin.
To reduce the chance of complications, we’ll send you home with post-treatment instructions and a list of do’s and don’ts. In particular, you’ll want to avoid touching the area, certain medications like retinol and strenuous activities for a few days. Not to worry, our Skin Specialists will guide you through the entire process, so you know what to do!
