Botox
WHAT IS BOTOX® Cosmetic:
Botox is commonly used to improve the look of frown lines (glabellar lines) between the brows, crow's feet at the corners of the eyes, forehead lines, laughter lines, to erase ‘bunny lines’ on the side of the nose and to give a slight lift to a drooping nose. Botox is a safe treatment involves a type of botulinum toxin type A being injected directly into the muscles between the brows or other areas being treated. These injections affect the tiny muscles of the face responsible for wrinkles.
RESULTS: With Botox treatments the appearance of frown lines and other treated areas will be dramatically improved within three to five days of treatment. The skin will appear smoother and unlined. A misconception is that BOTOX® injections "freeze" the face. Untreated facial muscles work as usual to allow the normal facial expressions and are unaffected by the treatment. This is true of expertly administered Botox injections.
HOW OFTEN: Botox injections will be needed to maintain the effects. After several treatments, the effects of Botox will begin to last longer. Repeat treatments may only be required every four to six months. At White Wave we take a ‘less is more’ approach to assure you of the look desired for customized image enhancement for every individual. We always see patients two weeks following the initial treatment to check the results and reassess.

In British Columbia health care professionals are accountable to a regulatory college. These organizations are responsible, under provincial legislation, for serving and protecting the public. They do this by communicating new developments in professional practice and ensuring that their regulated professionals are qualified and follow clearly defined standards of ethics and practice.
The College has provided this series of questions and answers regarding botox injections. For further information please refer to their website www.cpsbc.ca
Can botox injections be given without a physician first seeing the patient?
A physician must physically meet with a patient prior to the treatment to discuss possible risk factors and assess contraindications.
Does a physician have to give the botox injection?
A physician doesn't have to give the Botox® injection, however, the treatment decision must be made by a physician, and that physician remains responsible for the procedure. The actual injections of Botox® can be delegated to a registered nurse, assuming the treatment is performed under the supervision of the physician. Botox® is a prescription drug and unregulated individuals such as estheticians are not qualified or authorized to inject it.
Can botox injections be given in a location other than a physician’s office, clinic or hospital?
Botox® injections can be done in any setting, even a spa, provided it meets the approved clinical standards, and a physician registered with the College is accountable for it.
