Treatments

If you are like most people, you’d like to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles, furrows, and lines. Botox – a treatment that most people are familiar with – is in a class of injectable medications called neuromodulators, which help reduce dynamic lines caused by repeated facial expressions such as squinting, smiling, and frowning. Botox is also used to treat medical conditions like excessive sweating and migraines. Other neuromodulators include Xeomin ®, and Dysport ®.

Learn more about neuromodulators and what they treat:

• Botox Cosmetic
  Botox reduces the appearance of horizontal forehead wrinkles, glabellar lines between the eyebrows, frown lines, and wrinkles around the eyes caused by repeated squinting and smiling.
• Botox Therapeutic
  Though Botox is primarily a cosmetic treatment it is often an effective treatment for migraines and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
• Dysport
  Dysport targets crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles.
• Xeomin
  Xeomin reduces the appearance of moderate to severe facial lines. It is an effective treatment for frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, and “bunny scrunch” lines.

Chemical peels are a quick and effective treatment that evens out skin tone, reduces pore size and improves the overall texture of the skin. Some skin peels also reduce the appearance of active acne and acne scarring. Don’t let the word “chemical” scare you. Peels use naturally occurring chemicals or acids often derived from plant sources.

Our Vancouver, Canada skin treatments and laser spa offers many dermal filler treatments, each designed to target different types of facial sagging, wrinkles, folds, or volume loss in the face. A consultation will determine which filler is right for you.

Dermal fillers are non-invasive, injection treatments that require very little downtime and cause minimal discomfort. Because each filler is slightly different, please consult each treatment page for specifics about results timelines and aftercare.
