BOTOX® and Dysport® Treatments in London Ontario
How Does BOTOX® Remove Wrinkles?
BOTOX®, and other neuromodulators such as Dysport®, utilize a natural, purified protein to reduce lines and wrinkles by temporarily weakening the muscles that cause them. When injected, these substances block nerve signals to the muscle fibres, causing them to contract less forcefully, and ultimately eliminating the lines they produce.

Maintaining Natural Beauty With BOTOX®
At Yazdani Aesthetics, our providers perform with care and precision, treating areas of concern with a moderate approach to produce natural results. Their expert touch will help you address your areas of concern while still retaining your natural ability to express emotion. The key to this is making sure the muscles are relaxed enough that wrinkles and creases are reduced, but not so relaxed that your movement and expression are eliminated.

Before Your Treatment
- 3 days before treatment: AVOID waxing, bleaching, tweezing, or the use of hair removal cream on the area to be treated

- 7 days before treatment (to prevent bruising): AVOID herbal supplements such as Garlic, Vitamin E, Ginkgo Biloba, St. John’s Wort and Omega-3 capsules.

- Redness and swelling are normal. Some bruising may also be visible.
Immediately After Treatment
- Try to exercise your treated muscles every 15-20 minutes for 1-2 hours following treatment. This helps to work BOTOX® into your muscles and can be accomplished by practicing frowning, raising your eyebrows and squinting.

- You may apply an ice or cold gel pack (avoiding pressure) to the treated area(s) to reduce swelling and potential bruising.

- AVOID placing excessive pressure on the treated area(s) for the first few days. When cleansing your face or applying makeup, be very gentle.
- You may resume other normal activities/routines immediately following treatment. AVOID exercise or strenuous activities for the remainder of the treatment day.
