Botox in Laval – Botulinum Toxin Injections by Dr. Danielle Brassard, Dermatologist
Why Choose a Dermatologist for Botox Injections in Laval?
Botox is a medical procedure that relies on a personalized dermatologic evaluation and advanced injection technique for safe, natural results.
Botox (Botulinum Toxin) is now one of the most widely performed cosmetic treatments to soften expression lines and reduce wrinkles. However, the quality of the results depends as much on medical evaluation as on the precision of the injection technique.
For this reason, many patients choose to be treated by a dermatologist to benefit from a comprehensive facial and skin assessment and a personalized treatment plan that preserves natural facial balance and avoids the “frozen” look many patients fear.
“In aesthetic medicine, precision depends as much on a deep understanding of the skin and natural facial movement as on injection technique, in order to achieve natural, harmonious, and safe results.”
— Dr. Danielle Brassard, Dermatologist and Medical Director at Clinique D
This medical approach allows each treatment to be adapted to muscle dynamics, skin quality, and the aesthetic goals of every patient. The objective is always the same: to soften wrinkles while preserving natural and balanced facial expression.
The term “botox” is often used generically to refer to different Botulinum Toxins, including Botox®, Xeomin®, and Dysport®.
The choice of Botulinum Toxin is always determined based on a medical evaluation and the patient’s aesthetic goals.
Does Botox Make Your Face Look Frozen?
Botox can soften wrinkles without creating a frozen look when the treatment is carefully planned and performed with precision and expertise.
No — when performed with precision and expertise, botox is not intended to freeze the face, but to soften wrinkles while maintaining natural facial expression.
Botox (Botulinum Toxin) primarily targets dynamic wrinkles, meaning the lines that appear with facial expressions, such as when smiling, frowning, or raising the eyebrows. The goal of treatment is not to eliminate movement, but to gently soften muscle activity to reduce wrinkles while preserving natural expression.
When carefully planned, botox respects the unique dynamics of each face. A comprehensive dermatologic evaluation considers muscle strength, skin quality, and overall facial balance to achieve harmonious and natural-looking results.
A “frozen” appearance is most often associated with overcorrection, an inappropriate treatment plan, or insufficient assessment of facial dynamics. By carefully adjusting dosage and injection sites, it is possible to maintain a natural, expressive face while reducing wrinkles and expression lines.
How Long Does Botox Last?
The effects of botox appear gradually, and their duration varies depending on muscle dynamics, the treated area, and individual patient factors.
On average, visible botox results develop gradually over the first two weeks and last approximately 3 to 4 months, although this duration may vary from person to person. In some patients, particularly during initial treatments, the effects may be slightly shorter-lasting, as the muscles responsible for expression lines and wrinkles are still highly active.
With regular treatments, many patients notice that results may extend beyond 3 to 4 months. As the targeted muscles are repeatedly relaxed, they gradually reduce the repetitive movements that contribute to expression lines, often allowing visible improvement to last longer over time.
The goal is not to increase dosage, but to adjust the treatment progressively to maintain natural, harmonious results that respect the unique dynamics of each face.
How Much Does Botox Cost in Laval?
The cost of botox varies depending on the number of units required, the areas treated, and the personalized treatment plan established during the medical evaluation.
In general, the cost of botox varies by treatment area and typically ranges from approximately $50 to $700 per area, depending on muscle strength, the amount of product required, and the desired outcome. The total cost of treatment therefore depends on the number of areas addressed during the same session.
Contrary to common belief, a higher number of units does not necessarily mean better results. The objective is to administer the appropriate dose tailored to each patient’s muscle dynamics to achieve harmonious results while preserving natural facial expression.
For this reason, botox treatment should not be selected based solely on price. The level of expertise in aesthetic dermatology can vary significantly between injectors. An insufficient assessment of muscle dynamics, skin quality, and overall facial balance may lead to the use of more units than necessary, potentially resulting in less natural outcomes and a higher total cost.
A lower price per unit is therefore not always synonymous with a less expensive treatment, as the precision of the treatment plan directly influences the required dosage.
Certain areas require smaller amounts of product, such as bunny lines (on the bridge of the nose), smoker’s lines (around the lips), marionette lines (from the corners of the mouth to the chin), or chin dimpling (approximately $50 to $175 per area).
Other regions, such as forehead lines ($75 to $250 per area), crow’s feet ($130 to $400 per area), or the glabella (between the eyebrows), also known as frown lines ($275 to $700 per area), may require a higher dose depending on anatomy and muscle strength.
