Botox Burlington
As we age, wrinkles become a natural yet noticeable sign of the passing years. Botox Cosmetic offers a solution by relaxing the facial muscles beneath the skin, leading to a smoother, rejuvenated look.
At AGLS Medical Clinic, we specialize in reducing wrinkles by halting their formation process, allowing your skin to relax and diminish the visibility of fine lines.
What is Botox Cosmetic in Burlington?
Botox Cosmetic® is a neuromodulator, widely used for its versatile non-surgical applications. It functions by relaxing targeted muscles and is effective in softening facial lines, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles.
At AGLS Medical Clinic, we offer a selection of treatments, including Botox Cosmetic® and Dysport®. These brands, recognized for their safety and efficacy, are administered by our skilled medical practitioners. During your consultation, our experienced physicians will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to recommend the most suitable product for achieving your aesthetic goals.
How Does Botox Work?
Botox Cosmetic® treatments are performed using a fine needle to inject Botox into the targeted muscle. The duration of these injections varies, ranging from just five to about 30 minutes, depending on the specific procedure.
This treatment is ideal for those looking to address visible signs of aging, such as frown lines and smile lines on the face. The full effects of Botox injections become apparent one to two weeks after the treatment. The procedure involves minimal discomfort and requires little to no healing time afterward.
For cosmetic purposes, the results of Botox Cosmetic® treatments generally last between 4-6 months, offering a temporary yet effective solution for reducing the appearance of aging on the face.

What’s the Difference Between Botox and Dysport?
Both Dysport and Botox injections have a similar ingredient, which comes from a type of neurotoxin called botulinum toxin.
However, they contain different amounts of proteins in them. This makes Botox injections more effective for some people, and Dysport better for others.
Most of our clients prefer Dysport because it’s more affordable and kicks in faster, providing quicker results. You can start with a free consultation to explore all your options with our clinical aestheticians.
What Should I Expect During a Dysport/Botox Treatment?
Our doctors use the smallest needles to administer dysport/botox injections with minimal discomfort. No anesthesia is needed, and normal activities can be resumed immediately. After the treatment, you may notice some temporary, slight bruising at the injection site, which is easily concealable with makeup.
When Will I See Results?
Dysport works a bit faster than Botox Cosmetic® by several days. You may see results in 4-5 days with Dysport and about 1-2 weeks with Botox Cosmetic®. The full effect of both injections takes two weeks.
How Long Do Dysport/Botox Results Last?
After about 4-6 months, wrinkles may gradually reappear. Most clients often return for follow-up treatments upon noticing these effects. Getting a second treatment before the muscles fully revert to their untreated state can extend the duration of the results.
To get the most benefit from the treatment, we recommend getting it done three or four times per year
