This innovative treatment pairs the benefits of microneedling with a skin infusion of wrinkle relaxing neuromodulators. When infused into the skin, they can minimize pore size and control oil production to reduce the appearance of acne and rosacea. This treatment also targets dullness, uneven texture, and crepey skin.
Botox is actually a brand name of one of the neuromodulators available for injection in Canada. Neuromodulators are a highly purified form of a naturally occurring bacteria Clostridium botulinum. At Mint, we use three of the health Canada approved neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport and Xeomin).
You will feel very little in most cases. A light stinging sensation is usually the only sensation, as we use numbing cream for this treatment to ensure your comfort.
Patients may except minor swelling, bruising and redness for 3-4 days after their treatment. Patients may also experience some dryness and flaking of the skin as they are healing. Often side-effects are mild and resolve quickly, however it is always best to plan your treatments around vacations and special events by at least 2 weeks.
Results typically begin to take effect 3-4 days after your procedure, and take upto 2 weeks for the full effect. We recommend waiting the full 2 weeks before booking a post-procedure visit, if needed.
To maintain your results we recommend regular sessions spaced 3-4 months apart. You will be able to discuss your specific requirements during your consultation with the doctor.
