FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE filter FACIAL
What is a neuromodulator?
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).
DOES THE FILTER FACIAL HURT?
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.
WILL THERE BE DOWN TIME?
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.
WILL I SEE RESULTS RIGHT AWAY?
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.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
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.
