Botox West Kelowna

Botox neuromodulator injections treat wrinkles caused by repeated facial muscle contractions over time. Botox is a natural purified protein that temporarily relaxes the skin and underlying muscles to smooth these lines for a more refreshed appearance.

Botox Treatment in West Kelowna

Botox in West Kelowna has become an incredibly popular way to temporarily reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. As an Health Canada approved medical treatment, Botox injections allow Dr. Sigel to precisely target specific muscles like crow's feet, forehead creases, and frown lines.

The botulinum toxin (Botox) blocks nerve impulses to these muscles, relaxing the treated area and smoothing wrinkles caused by repeated muscular contractions over time. Patients appreciate the quick, non-surgical Botox procedure to achieve a more youthful appearance.

Botox Treatment Procedure

The Botox West Kelowna treatment itself is a fast, simple procedure:

1. Dr. Sigel marks the desired areas and sanitizes them beforehand.
2. He uses a super fine needle to inject small amounts of Botox directly into the facial muscles below the creased skin.

Does it hurt?

Discomfort is usually minimal. The whole appointment can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on whether this is the patient's first time. Botox treatment requires virtually no downtime either. It is important to avoid excessive alcohol consumption in the days before your procedure.

Patients can return to regular activities right after their injections. The results typically take 2 weeks to fully appear and depends on whether this is the patient's first time. While individual results vary, the smoothing effects of properly administered Botox injections can last about 3 months.

The Incredible Benefits of Botox Treatment

Patients choose Botox injections to rejuvenate their appearance and boost their self-confidence. Botox offers these anti-aging benefits:

• Temporarily minimizes the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, and other areas on the upper face.
• The effects typically last about 3 months.
• Non-surgical procedure with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
• More affordable than surgical alternatives like a face lift.
• Natural looking results. No frozen face effect when properly done.
• Health Canada & FDA approved treatment with over 30 years of safe, effective use.

Before & After Botox Treatments

The remarkable transformation above showcases Dr. Sigel’s precision and artistry with Botox injections.

Patients can expect a refreshed, natural looking appearance that doesn’t scream “I had work done” when properly administered. A Botox injection temporarily minimizes wrinkles for about 3 months.

Maintenance appointments every 3 months help sustain results without other treatments.

Who is an ideal candidate for Botox?

Good candidates for Botox injections are physically healthy adults who are bothered by dynamic wrinkles on the upper face. These wrinkles appear from repeated muscle movements over time. Botox works best for fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead, frown area between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes.

Patients may start using Botox for cosmetic reasons in their late 20s to early 30s as a preventative anti-aging process.

Botox neuromodulator injections can also help patients who grind their teeth at night.

Botox Injections

“As we age, our skin loses elasticity. Repeated facial expressions over the years create creases which form wrinkles in the skin.” explains Dr. Sigel. “Botox helps patients look as young as they feel.”

1. Botox Cosmetic

Minimizing facial wrinkles is the most common use of Botox. Botox prevents muscles from contracting to smooth away creases that form over time. Some specific other botox cosmetic treatment and therapeutic applications include:

• Forehead wrinkles – Horizontal forehead lines from raising the eyebrows
• Frown lines – Vertical lines between the eyebrows that create an angry expression
• Crow’s feet – Fanning lines at the outer corners of the eyes from squinting and smiling
• Lip lines (smoker’s lines) – Tiny vertical lines above the upper lip

2. Botox Therapeutic

In addition to smoothing facial lines and wrinkles, Botox injections can treat other medical issues such as:

• Chronic migraines – Botox injections every 3 months can reduce migraine frequency.
• Teeth grinding and TMJ – Botox relaxes the masseter muscles to ease symptoms.

Botox Aftercare

The minimal downtime of Botox appeals to busy professionals and parents getting Botox on their lunch break. General aftercare includes the following:

• Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for 12 hours which allows Botox to fully penetrate the muscles. Also skip facials, laser treatments, microdermabrasion etc. during this time.
• Stay upright for 4 hours and avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours. This prevents Botox from tracking into unintended muscles.
• Wait 1-2 weeks for full results. If desired, Dr. Sigel can provide touch up injections.
• Schedule maintenance appointments every 3-4 months to sustain aesthetic results from Botox injections over time.
