Botox and Dermal Fillers in Richmond Hill

Injectables are the most requested treatments at Lux Medical Aesthetics, and the two most common ones do opposite jobs. A wrinkle relaxer such as Botox or Dysport calms the muscle that folds the skin, so lines formed by movement — forehead, frown and the outer corners of the eyes — soften. A hyaluronic acid filler adds volume back where the face has lost it, rebuilding cheek projection, the jawline, the chin and the lips. Lines that are visible when your face is still are usually a volume problem, and lines that appear only when you move are usually a muscle problem. Reading that difference correctly is what separates a natural result from an obvious one.

A first appointment at our Yonge Street clinic in Richmond Hill starts with facial mapping rather than a needle. We look at how your muscles move, where light falls on your face and what has changed in photographs from a few years ago, then plan the number of units and the volume of product for your anatomy. Treatment itself is short. Wrinkle relaxers usually take fifteen minutes and the effect appears gradually over the following days. Fillers are placed with a fine needle or a blunt cannula, with topical numbing for comfort, and the change is visible immediately once early swelling settles.

Aftercare is simple but not optional. For the first day, avoid heavy exercise, saunas and lying face down, and do not massage the treated area unless we ask you to. Bruising is possible, especially around the lips and under the eyes, and it fades within a week. Results are temporary: relaxers are usually repeated a few times a year and hyaluronic acid fillers break down gradually over months, which also means an unwanted filler result can be dissolved. Products used in Canadian clinics are regulated by Health Canada, and you can verify any Ontario physician through the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.

Injectables also work well beside other treatments. Skin tone and texture respond to BBL and filler, hydration to Jalupro and Profhilo or PRP and mesotherapy, and sagging that no filler can lift often needs an Aptos thread lift. For volume alone, see dermal fillers; for movement lines, see Botox. Browse the full list of treatments, check the payment plans, read about our doctors, or book a consultation.
