Medical Botox Therapies

by Dr. David

TMJ

BOTOX® is used as an alternative treatment for TMJ (temporo-mandibular joint) disorders and associated jaw tension and pain. When injected into facial muscles afflicted with soreness and discomfort, BOTOX® relieves TMJ and jaw tension for many patients. The injections often eliminate headaches resulting from teeth grinding, and, in cases of severe stress, BOTOX® can even minimize lock jaw.

CHRONIC MIGRAINES

BOTOX® is a prescription medicine that is injected to prevent headaches in adults with chronic migraine who have 15 or more days each month with headache lasting 4 or more hours each day in people 18 years or older.

It is not known whether BOTOX® is safe and effective to prevent headaches in patients with migraine who have 14 or fewer headache days each month (episodic migraine).

HYPERHIDROSIS

Botox® Therapeutic (as opposed to Botox® Cosmetic which is used for facial rejuvenation) is a treatment for excessive sweating of the forehead, hands, feet and underarms. Excessive sweating (also known as hyperhidrosis) effects thousands of Canadians and it is covered by most private insurance plans.

Botox® Therapeutic is injected into the problem area. When Botox is placed near the sweat glands, perspiration is greatly reduced.

Dermal Fillers

 

Facial fillers are a great way to reduce wrinkles and scar depressions. They can give your skin a fresher, more youthful appearance. Facial fillers are very small injections administered to specific areas, which are used to produce temporary to longer-lasting results, depending upon the formulation of the product. 

When performed correctly, the results appear natural.

The face & body naturally contain hyaluronic acid but as we age, the levels if this substance decreases, leading to lack of volume, deeper folds and the appearance of lines. Nouveau Laser offers patients some of the most effective facial fillers Lloydminster has to offer.

How do facial fillers work?

To restore and rejuvenate facial appearance, tiny injections of dermal filler created from either natural or synthetic ingredients, are administered directly into specific areas. The purpose of fillers is to prove the perfect volume to cause wrinkles, folds or sunken areas to diminish. You can expect results to last from 6 months up to 2 years.

Dermal fillers do not affect muscle movement. Neurotoxin is the product typically used on the forehead and eyes to reduce muscle movement, to avoid the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Neurotoxin does not provide the volumizing or plumping effect of dermal fillers.

 

Teoxane – Teosyal Fillers

TEOSYAL️® is a range of injectable dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid designed to treat wrinkles, specific areas such as the perioral or periorbital, give volume to the face and also improve skin quality.

The most common areas treated are the lips, cheeks and tear troughs (undereye)

The TEOSYAL RHA® products were created by TEOXANE Laboratories according to a patented process, making it possible to meet the specific requirements of mobile facial areas. This technology preserves the natural characteristics of the hyaluronic acid molecules to obtain gels with high purity, close to the natural content of hyaluronic acid in the skin.

Neurotoxin

What is Neurotoxin?

Toxin temporarily smooths fines lines and creases created by the constant motion of your facial muscles, activated when you are frowning, squinting, and smiling. Wrinkles develop as a result of these repeated muscle actions.

What is Nuceiva and Dysport?

These are time-tested FDA cleaned products for the treatment of moderate to severe lines and wrinkles around the eyes, eyebrows and forehead. Neurotoxin can also be used for various areas of the face for rejuvenation and improvement of balance and structure.

How does it work?

Neurotoxin is injected into the muscle to modulate and soften the muscle action. When expertly administered, toxin offers an effective solution for wrinkles, fine lines and other signs of aging, while also being minimally invasive and highly effective.

NUCEIVA

Nuceiva™ treatment is almost the same as Botox® treatments as both are derived from the same base molecules. Nuceiva™ is a neurotoxin developed for only aesthetic purposes. Similar to other brands such as Botox and Dysport, Nuceiva™ works to neuromodulate or smooth out the creases in the face with a similar effectiveness.

 

DYSPORT

Dysport is also a minimally invasive injection that is targeted at paralyzing the activities of specific muscles in the face. This prevents the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Over time, Dysport treatments can soften the incidence of existing fine lines.

  • We recommend that you book a follow-up appointment for 2 weeks from your treatment - you can book this upon checkout. The purpose of the follow up is to confirm that we have the correct recipe for your initial and future treatments, especially after your first neuromodulator treatment with us. We will take your two-week after photos at this follow up for medical profile purposes.

    Your neuromodulator treatment is a temporary treatment with results lasting approximately 3 months. By consistently receiving neuromodulator treatments, based on your medical professional’s recommendation, overtime the results may last longer than 3-4 months and require fewer units to maintain a similar treatment result.
