Vernon Botox Injections

Botox is a neurotoxin derived from Clostridium botulinum bacteria. It briefly stops nerve signals to muscles, making them unable to contract, which reduces wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.

Common treatment areas include forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and crow's feet around the eyes, where fine lines and wrinkles can accumulate.
We also provide therapeutic Botox throughout the body to help alleviate pain and address other medical conditions.

The Botox injection procedure itself usually takes 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. However, the total time spent with us will be 30 minutes-1 hour depending on treatment plan. You're free to enjoy the space before or after your appointment in our dedicated lounge.

Results from a Botox treatment usually become noticeable within 3 to 7 days after treatment. Full effects are generally visible within 2 weeks.

The effects usually last 3 to 4 months, after which muscle activity gradually returns.

There is minimal downtime or recovery period required. Most individuals can resume normal activities immediately after treatment, although avoiding vigorous exercise and rubbing the treated area for 2-4 hours is advisable.

Discomfort during Botox injections is usually minimal and brief. Some patients may experience mild stinging or a sensation similar to a pinprick. The injector may apply ice or topical numbing cream before the procedure to minimize discomfort.

We're located in the North Okanagan, in Vernon, BC, but accept patients from throughout the Okanagan region.
