Wrinkles and fine lines can be a challenge. Some result from the breakdown of collagen and elastin, fibrous proteins that support the skin. As we age, we lose facial volume, and skin becomes lax and thinner, sagging into folds. Reverse the evidence of aging and welcome back your younger self with Botox®.
Botox® is the number one cosmetic treatment worldwide, and for a good reason! It’s quick, safe, minimally invasive, and delivers impressive results.
With just one visit, wrinkle reducers such as Botox® can make you look years younger. The best part is you’ll still look like yourself, just better!
Botox® treatments work by relaxing the muscles that tend to furrow or tighten when you make certain facial expressions. Those expressions repeatedly fold your skin over time. Eventually, they turn into full-blown creases.
Botox® can temporarily smooth away unwanted lines and wrinkles. You’ll still be able to make facial expressions, but Botox helps by minimizing extreme movements that can age your skin. Afterward, your face will look younger, happier, and refreshed.
SweatingAccording to the Canadian Dermatology Association, excessive sweating affects 3% of our population (approximately 950,000 men and women). A third of those cases are classified as severe. This medical condition significantly impacts self-esteem, social interaction, employment, comfort, and overall quality of life. A visit to Revamp MediSpa in Airdrie can help you.
Our doctors recommend botox® injections for patients who have hyperhidrosis. This purified protein is frequently injected into the underarms and other areas such as the palms and feet. The medication blocks nerve signals that cause glands to produce sweat, reducing perspiration output. In the meantime, the body has nearly five million other sweat glands to keep internal temperature safe. Because the treatment reduces sweat production, there is no risk of it pooling or increasing perspiration in other body parts.

Migraines
Over four million adults suffer from chronic migraines on at least 15 days per month. A migraine is much more than a headache; it is a collection of neurological symptoms that can be incapacitating. Chronic migraine can significantly reduce the quality of life, frequently causing anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption. This condition is the world’s sixth most disabling illness. Botox® is available for migraines at Revamp Medi Spa in Airdrie.
Migraine Treatment with Botox
Botox® is a biologic, which means it is a prescription medication derived from the living botulinum toxin A. This purified protein inhibits neurotransmitter release. Injections of the neuromodulator intramuscularly suppress the body's central pain processing response, which causes migraine headaches. Health Canada approved this migraine prevention treatment in 2011.

Botulinum toxin may be beneficial if you are at least 18 years old and have 15 or more migraine days per month, with headaches lasting four hours or longer. Patients in clinical trials reported significant headache relief a few days after the initial treatment. The second treatment reduced the number of episodes to eight to nine per month. Typically, results are obtained within four weeks.
