Product Safety & Approval
Health Canada-Approved Botox and Neuromodulators
Our Commitment to Safety and Quality
We ensure all our products, including Botox and other neuromodulators, are officially approved by Health Canada. This guarantees you are receiving safe and effective treatments that meet the highest standards.
Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, Xeomin, Nuceiva:
In Calgary, we use Health Canada-approved brands: Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA), Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA), Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA), and Nuceiva (prabotulinumtoxinA). Each has unique properties, and we'll recommend the best option for your needs.
Xeomin: What it is?
Xeomin is a "naked" neurotoxin, meaning its active ingredient is not surrounded by the complexing proteins found in other brands.
The lack of accessory proteins is thought to reduce the potential for the body to develop a resistance to the treatment over time. This makes it a good option for people who have developed an immunity to other brands. Xeomin does not require refrigeration before opening and its diffusion is comparable to that of Botox.
Dysport
Dysport has a smaller molecular structure, which allows it to diffuse more widely after injection. This can be beneficial for treating larger areas like the forehead, as it may require fewer injection points. The onset of action is often slightly faster than Botox, with results appearing within 2-3 days.
Nuceiva: What it is?
Nuceiva is a newer neuromodulator on the market, approved by Health Canada for cosmetic use. It is specifically manufactured for aesthetics.
Nuceiva is noted for its rapid onset of action, with some patients reporting results in as little as 24 hours. Its formulation is also considered highly pure, and its efficacy and safety are well-established for treating glabellar lines (the "11s" between the eyebrows).
Mechanism of Action
The Science Behind Smoother Skin
How Botox Works (Neuromodulator Mechanism)
Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals in the muscles that cause wrinkles. This process relaxes the muscles, smoothing out fine lines and giving you a refreshed, youthful appearance.
Safety and Approvals (FDA/Health Canada)
With decades of clinical use and strong safety data when administered by qualified medical professionals, Botox has FDA/Health Canada approval and an excellent safety record.
Acetylcholine Blockade at the Junction
Botox blocks the release of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger that tells muscles to contract. Without this signal, muscles relax, and wrinkles smooth out.
Dynamic vs.
Dynamic wrinkles appear when you smile, frown, or raise your eyebrows. Over time, these can become static lines - wrinkles visible even at rest. Botox works best on dynamic wrinkles but can soften static lines too.
