What is Botox?
Botox is a Health Canada-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles that cause expression lines, helping the skin appear smoother and more youthful. At Dr. Aaron Brown’s clinic in Abbotsford, Botox is used with precision and artistry to refresh your appearance while maintaining natural expression and movement.
Why Should You Choose Botox Treatments?
Over time, repetitive facial movements, such as smiling, frowning, or squinting, lead to visible creases, particularly around the eyes, forehead, and between the brows. Botox softens these dynamic lines, helping patients look rested, confident, and rejuvenated. Beyond cosmetic purposes, Botox is also effective in treating excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), chronic migraines, and certain muscular conditions like TMJ.
The key benefit lies in its subtlety. When performed correctly, Botox doesn’t “freeze” your face but simply minimizes unwanted creasing while preserving your natural expressions. The results are smooth, refreshed, and elegant.
Ideal Candidates for Botox
Botox is suitable for adults who wish to reduce fine lines and wrinkles without surgery or downtime. The best candidates typically have mild to moderate facial wrinkles and are seeking a natural enhancement. It is also popular as a preventive treatment among younger patients who want to slow the development of expression lines.
Candidates should be in good general health, have realistic expectations, and be free of neuromuscular disorders or allergies to botulinum toxin. During your consultation, we will assess your health history and goals to ensure this treatment is safe and effective for you.
What to Expect During Treatment
A Botox session at Abbotsford plastic surgery is straightforward and comfortable. The procedure typically takes about 15–30 minutes and involves precise injections into targeted muscles using a fine needle. Our deep understanding of facial anatomy ensures that every treatment is customized to your unique structure, achieving balanced and natural-looking results.
Before treatment, the skin is cleansed, and patients may request a topical numbing cream if desired, though most find discomfort minimal. Since there is no downtime, you can return to regular activities right away.
The Consultation Process
At your initial consultation, we will take the time to understand your aesthetic goals, medical history, and any previous cosmetic treatments. Together, you will discuss which injectable is best for you (Botox®, Dysport®, or Letybo®), which areas would benefit most from the injection, and whether combining it with other non-surgical treatments (such as dermal fillers or microneedling) might enhance your results.We value open communication and ensures every patient feels informed and confident before proceeding with any cosmetic procedure.
Botox Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from Botox injections is minimal. You might notice mild redness or slight swelling at injection sites, which typically fades within hours. It is best to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours, as this can cause the product to migrate. Patients should also avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and alcohol for the remainder of the day.
Results begin to appear within 3–5 days, with full effects visible around two weeks post-treatment. The rejuvenated appearance typically lasts three to four months before touch-ups are recommended.

Botox Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Botox Injections/Neuromodulators?
Botox injections are a non-surgical cosmetic solution designed to temporarily relax the muscles responsible for fine lines and wrinkles. Commonly used to treat frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles, Botox also offers therapeutic benefits, such as managing excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), chronic migraines, and muscle spasms. By targeting specific muscle activity, Botox injections provide a natural-looking, refreshed appearance.
How Much Do Botox Injections Cost?
Our Botox treatments are $10 per unit plus tax, providing an affordable option for rejuvenating your appearance.
Who is a Good Candidate for Botox Treatments?
Good candidates for Botox are individuals who are looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the forehead, eyes, and mouth. Botox is ideal for those in good health and who have realistic expectations for the results. It is also suitable for individuals dealing with medical conditions like excessive sweating, migraines, or muscle spasms.
What are the Risks Associated with Botox?
Botox risks include:
- Bruising
- Under correction (not enough effect) or overcorrection (too much effect)
- Facial asymmetry (one side looks different than the other)
- Paralysis of a nearby muscle leading to: droopy eyelids, double vision, inability to close an eye, difficulty whistling or drinking from a straw
- Generalized weakness
- Permanent loss of muscle tone with repeated injection
- Flu-like syndrome or respiratory infection
- Nausea or headache
Who Should NOT Receive Botox Treatments?
Botox treatments may not be suitable for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological conditions. It is also not recommended for those with allergies to any of the ingredients in Botox, or those with active skin infections at the treatment site. People with a history of muscle or nerve disorders, such as ALS or myasthenia gravis, should avoid Botox.
How Long Does Botox Last?
BOTOX® Cosmetic effects vary from person to person, but usually last for approximately three to four months. As the effects gradually wear off, muscle activity in the treated area returns, and wrinkles and fine lines progressively reappear. Our nurse injector can help you determine a timeline for your BOTOX® Cosmetic sessions to help you enjoy the benefits of the treatment for as long as possible.
How Long Does It Take to See Results?
You can expect to see results in as little as 2 days, but full results typically take up to 14 days.
Are Botox Treatments Painful?
Botox treatments are minimally painful for most patients. The injections use a very fine needle, and any discomfort is typically mild and brief. Some people describe the sensation as a slight pinch or sting. To enhance comfort, a numbing cream or ice pack may be applied to the treatment area beforehand. Overall, Botox is considered a quick and tolerable procedure with little to no downtime.
What Does Botox do?
Botox injections prevent the release of acetylcholine, temporarily preventing treated muscles from contracting. This lack of contraction significantly reduces the appearance of wrinkles and facial creases, making Botox a popular cosmetic injectable.
Where Can Botox be Used?
Botox is primarily used on the face to address fine lines and wrinkles. Botox can be effectively used on the forehead, eye area, lip lines, chin, and jaw.
