Botox in Ottawa with Dr. Ian MacArthur
In the modern age, where first impressions can often shape opportunities and personal relationships, many seek ways to maintain a revitalized and rejuvenated appearance. Botox is one of the most popular aesthetic treatments worldwide that works to smooth and prevent wrinkles and lines. It can also slim the face (masseter Botox) and helps to reduce acne. This is the go-to treatment for smooth, radiant, and healthy skin.
What is Botox?
Botox, scientifically known as Botulinum toxin, is a protein and neurotoxin derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is used both medically and cosmetically to treat certain muscle conditions and reduce the appearance of wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing underlying muscles.

How to Prepare for your Botox Treatment:
You will have a skin assessment with one of our Expert Nurse Injectors to determine the appropriate treatment plan and amount of botox required to achieve your desired aesthetic results.
A week before the procedure, steer clear of blood-thinning medications and supplements like aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, and fish oil. You will get specific instructions before treatment.
