Botox is an injectable that temporarily relaxes facial muscles to smooth expression lines. Health Canada-approved for over 20 years, it's the most recognized cosmetic treatment in the world.

Botox is botulinum toxin type A — a purified protein manufactured by Allergan. When injected in tiny amounts into specific facial muscles, it blocks the nerve signals that tell those muscles to contract. As the targeted muscles relax, the wrinkles they create gradually soften and smooth out over the next 10–14 days.
Botox is approved by Health Canada for both cosmetic use (smoothing expression lines) and therapeutic use (treating conditions like excessive sweating and migraines). At Dermis, we use it primarily for cosmetic rejuvenation — helping you look refreshed, not frozen.
Results are temporary, lasting 3–4 months on average. Most clients schedule maintenance treatments three to four times per year. Over time, regular Botox can train facial muscles to contract less forcefully, sometimes reducing the units needed at future appointments.

Schedule NowBotox is most effective on dynamic wrinkles — lines caused by repeated facial muscle movement over time. Here are the most common concerns it treats.
Forehead creases, frown lines between the brows (the 11s), and crow's feet at the corners of the eyes are all caused by repeated muscle contraction. Botox relaxes those muscles so lines soften and smooth out without affecting your natural expressions.
Botox blocks nerve signals to sweat glands, reducing underarm perspiration by 80–90%. Results last 6–12 months — longer than cosmetic applications. A genuinely life-changing treatment for hyperhidrosis.
From consultation to results — here's what to expect.
Elizabeth reviews your medical history, discusses your goals, and assesses your facial anatomy. She explains what Botox can realistically achieve for you and addresses any concerns.
She marks injection points on your face and gives you an exact unit count and total price before anything begins. You're in complete control — nothing happens without your approval.
Using fine-gauge needles, Elizabeth injects Botox into specific muscles. The treatment takes 10–15 minutes. Most clients describe minimal discomfort — a quick pinch that's over in seconds.
Effects begin within 3–5 days, peak around day 10–14, and last 3–4 months. Elizabeth schedules a two-week follow-up to assess the result and make any subtle adjustments.

Real experiences from clients who chose Elizabeth for their Botox.
I've gotten botox from many places over the last 10 years, and Elizabeth beats them all hands down. Best results I've ever had. I don't want anyone else to touch my face after this!
I did Botox for my first time with Elizabeth. It was a miracle. She softened my sunken eyes and relaxed my forehead. For me the aesthetic benefit is wonderful, I also experienced a mental relaxation.
I was referred to Dermis for Botox. I can't say enough about how wonderful Elizabeth was! The staff are really nice and friendly.
