Botox® (Cosmetic), Neuromodulators


Botox® is a prescription drug that is regulated by Health Canada and patients must be seen by a physician prior to receiving Botox® treatments. It helps to relax muscles and gives a more refreshed and well-rested appearance.

Dr. Diane Wong, MD is a licensed physician who has been treating clients with Botox in Toronto, Yorkville, and the GTA for over 10 years for cosmetic use and for selected medical uses (hyperhidrosis).  She is one of the leading cosmetic physicians in her field.
 
Botox is a prescription drug that has been used for decades for therapeutic treatment of certain medical disorders.  In 2001, Botox became approved in Canada for cosmetic use.  It is now one of the most common non-surgical cosmetic treatments in North America.  Botox is highly regulated and it is imperative that a patient be seen by a licensed, qualified physician prior to use. 

What is Botox and what are the Indications for use?
Botox is a prescription drug that is regulated by Health Canada and may be recommended to you only by a licensed physician. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario mandates that each patient be assessed by a qualified, licensed physician prior to injection of the prescription drug. 

Botox is Health Canada approved for various therapeutic and cosmetic uses.  The most common cosmetic uses include treatment of lines and wrinkles in the glabella (frown area between the eyes), on the forehead (horizontal lines), and crow’s feet around the eyes (smile lines).

Botox works by relaxing the muscular pull on the targeted muscle thus reducing the appearance of wrinkles on the face.  It is vital that the physician thoroughly understands the anatomy and interaction of various muscles on the face in order to ensure optimal results.  It is also important to fully assess each client’s own individual facial features and listen to each client’s desires and expectation.  Each client is unique and treatments should be customized, which requires an experienced injector.

What are the Potential Complications of Botox Treatments?
Results achieved with Botox are highly dependent on the skill and expertise of the injector.  Botox should not be used on clients with certain medical conditions and there are potential complications.  Botox treatments should be provided in a medical clinic under medical consultation and supervision as deemed by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.  Dr. Wong will see you personally in consultation and discuss if this treatment is right for you.  She will confer with you, ensure there are no contra-indications to treatment, educate you, and ensure client safety.  She is committed to providing the highest quality of service and ensures excellent follow up and client satisfaction.
