Botox (Onabotulinum Toxin A) is a Health Canada-approved injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes specific muscles to smooth wrinkles and provide relief from various medical conditions. It's been safely used for over 20 years for both cosmetic and therapeutic purposes. At Aqua Medical Spa, we use authentic Botox products administered by trained medical professionals.

Most patients report minimal to no discomfort, often describing it as a quick pinch. The needles are very fine, and the procedure is typically well-tolerated.

Botox results typically last 3-6 months, though this varies by individual and treatment area. Many patients find that with regular treatments, results last progressively longer over time.

You may notice initial changes within 3-5 days, but full results typically appear within 7-14 days as the Botox fully relaxes the targeted muscles.
