When pregnant or lactating, we ask that you consult with your doctor or other healthcare professional before booking a treatment with us. Though all of our treatments are safe and approved by Health Canada, we recommend pregnant or lactating patients refrain from laser hair removal and injectables, such as Botox® and dermal fillers, to ensure the safety of themselves and their babies.
We recommend consulting with your doctor or other healthcare professional before booking a treatment with us. Should you decide to proceed with an appointment, please explain any medications or health conditions to the medical aesthetician during your appointment.
Botox® injections contain a toxin called onabotulinumtoxinA that temporarily prevents your muscles from contracting. Its presence blocks certain chemical signals from the nerves, including the ones responsible for muscle movements. Botox® is commonly used to relax facial muscles in order to reduce and prevent wrinkles in the forehead and around the eyes. They can also be used as an alternative treatment for more troublesome maladies such as TMJ, which may include headaches, clenching/grinding, and sleep bruxism. After you have been examined, a Lounge aesthetician will provide you with a customized treatment plan to help achieve the results you desire.
When performed by an experienced aesthetician, Botox® is extremely safe. As with all medical procedures, there are possible side effects. Side effects are rare but can include a short-term headache immediately after the treatment, pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, muscle weakness, muscle stiffness, eye dryness, and dry mouth.
If administered by a skilled and experienced medical aesthetician, like those at the Aesthetic Lounge, Botox® is extremely tolerable and sometimes even pain-free. However, we do offer numbing creams to our patients in order to make the experience as comfortable as possible.
Botox® treatments typically last three months, after which the effects wear off and muscles return to normal by the six-month mark. We recommend receiving Botox® treatments every three months.
You will notice the results of your Botox® treatment within two to four days, and you may even experience continuous improvement in the weeks to follow.
Dermal fillers restore volume to the skin by boosting it with hyaluronic acid (a key ingredient in our injectable gel). In doing this, fillers revitalize the skin, instantly minimizing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, creating a soft, smooth, and plump look.
When performed by an experienced aesthetician, dermal fillers are extremely safe. As with all medical procedures, there are possible side effects. Side effects are rare but can include redness, bruising, swelling, bleeding, itching, and discolouration at the injection site.
You will start to notice the results of your dermal fillers immediately after receiving the treatment. However, it can take up to four weeks for the filler to fully integrate into the tissue.
