What it addresses

Where wrinkle treatment can help

Botulinum toxin type A neuromodulators temporarily reduce activity in the muscles they are injected into, which may soften the lines that form when you make an expression.

Botox Cosmetic® and Nuceiva® are two of the botulinum toxin type A products authorized for cosmetic use in Canada. They are different formulations with their own approved indications, and their units are not interchangeable — a dose of one tells you nothing about the other.

Treatment selection and injection placement depend on your individual assessment: your facial anatomy, how your face moves, and your history. Frown lines and crow's feet sit within approved indications for some products, while other areas — including the forehead — may be treated off-label, meaning outside a product's approved indication. We will explain which applies to what we recommend for you.

Forehead expression lines

Horizontal lines that deepen when you raise your brows. Treated conservatively, with the aim of keeping the brow able to move.

Frown lines (the 11s)

The vertical lines between the brows that can read as tension or concentration, even when your face is at rest.

Lines at the outer corners of the eyes that appear with smiling and squinting.

Other selected areas

Other areas may be considered when clinically appropriate. Not every product is approved for every use, and we will tell you when a recommendation sits outside an approved indication.

Our Approach

Your Expression. Your Preference.

Wrinkle-relaxing treatments don't have to mean a frozen appearance.

Some patients prefer subtle softening of expression lines while maintaining natural facial movement. Others prefer a smoother, more relaxed appearance with significantly less movement in the treated areas.

At Vogue ND, we take the time to understand your preferences, assess your facial anatomy and muscle activity, and develop an individualized treatment plan that balances your desired results with facial harmony and safety.

The goal isn't to give everyone the same look. It's to create results that feel right for you.

Common questions

Questions about wrinkle treatments

Straight answers about what to expect.

Wrinkle-relaxing treatments can be tailored to your facial anatomy, muscle activity and personal preferences.

Some patients prefer subtle softening while maintaining more facial movement. Others prefer a smoother, more relaxed appearance with less movement in the treated areas.

At Vogue ND, we discuss your desired results before treatment and adjust the treatment plan accordingly, while prioritizing facial balance and safety.

The degree of muscle relaxation varies, and no specific outcome can be guaranteed.

Changes may begin within a few days. The fuller effect is commonly assessed around 14 days after treatment, which is why we suggest reviewing at that point rather than judging the result in the first week.

Results typically last approximately 3–4 months, although duration varies depending on muscle activity, treatment area, dose and individual response.

As the effects gradually wear off, the treated muscles regain their ability to contract, and expression lines may become visible again.

Many patients choose maintenance appointments approximately every 3–4 months. Your practitioner will recommend an appropriate interval based on your individual response and treatment goals.

Wrinkle-relaxing injections, such as botulinum toxin type A, temporarily reduce the activity of selected facial muscles to soften expression lines. They do not replace lost facial volume.

Dermal fillers work differently. They can restore or enhance volume, support facial contours and soften certain lines or folds. Depending on the filler formulation, treatment area and individual factors, filler results may last longer than those of neuromodulators.

Because these treatments address different aspects of facial aging, they may sometimes be used together as part of an individualized facial rejuvenation plan.

At Vogue ND, we offer complimentary cosmetic neuromodulator assessments. Our current Nuceiva treatment pricing is $10 per unit, with the total cost determined by the number of units administered.

The number of units required varies depending on facial anatomy, muscle strength, treatment areas and desired results.

Your practitioner will discuss your treatment plan and estimated cost before proceeding.

Most people describe a brief sting or pinprick. Appointments are short, and we can talk about ways to make it more comfortable — anaesthetic is not usually needed.

Think of Botox like Kleenex. Just as people often use ‘Kleenex’ to refer to facial tissues, many people use ‘Botox’ as a general term for wrinkle-relaxing injections.

Botox Cosmetic is one specific brand of botulinum toxin type A. It was authorized for cosmetic use in Canada in 2001 and became a widely recognized name.

Five brands have been authorized for cosmetic use in Canada: Botox Cosmetic, Dysport Aesthetic, Xeomin Cosmetic, Nuceiva and Letybo.

Although they work through a similar mechanism, they have different formulations, dosing and approved indications. Their units are not interchangeable.

At Vogue ND, we currently primarily use Nuceiva. Your practitioner will discuss the specific product recommended, its suitability, risks and alternatives during your assessment.

Common effects are mild and usually temporary: bruising, tenderness or a brief headache after treatment, and sometimes asymmetry or a heavy brow. Less commonly, the toxin can affect nearby muscles and cause eyelid or brow drooping. Rarely, the effect can spread beyond the treated area and cause difficulty swallowing, speaking or breathing, which needs urgent medical attention. No treatment is risk-free, and results vary between people.

Suitability is assessed individually. Treatment is generally not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with certain neuromuscular conditions such as myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome. We also screen for infection at the injection site, known allergy to a product component, and medications or supplements that increase bleeding risk or interact with the toxin. If any of these apply to you, we will discuss alternatives rather than proceed.

Yes — we assess first to confirm it's appropriate and set clear expectations.
