We focus on three carefully studied areas of the face where wrinkles often form – and where anti-wrinkle injections are clinically proven to work: the forehead, eleven lines, and crow’s feet. There are many additional areas that can be treated as well.

As we begin to age, the skin undergoes many changes that end up producing lines and wrinkles. Muscle movement under the skin is one of the biggest reasons we develop prominent lines and wrinkles on our face and body.
Our team uses a combination of established products and proven techniques to reduce the prominence of wrinkles and lines. For example, Dysport is used to prevent current static lines from getting deeper, as well as the formation of new lines.
Neuromodulators like Botox® Cosmetic, Nuceiva™, Xeomin®, and Dysport™ may be the answer. These popular injectable treatments work by temporarily relaxing muscles that contribute to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.
While Botox® Cosmetic is the most well-known brand, Nuceiva™, Xeomin®, and Dysport™ offer similar benefits. During a consultation, our licensed nurse can help you determine which neuromodulator is best suited for your individual needs and aesthetic goals.
Anti-wrinkle injections work by temporarily blocking signals to muscles which cause them to contract and create wrinkles. This ends up producing fewer noticeable lines and wrinkles in the injected areas without changing the structure of your face. The goal with these treatments is to prevent wrinkles and potentially soften existing fine lines, leaving you with youthful and glowing skin. All 4 treatments are both safe and clinically proven for preventing wrinkles.
Neuromodulators can only be administered by health care professionals. Worthy Skin & Beauty Bar is proud to have an experienced nurse injector that has been working with injectables for many years.
Anti-wrinkle injections have been used to successfully soften and prevent wrinkles in many areas of the body, however some of the most common areas include:
The results of anti-wrinkle injections will not be immediately visible after your treatment. Full results can take up to 14 days post treatment, but most clients start to slowly see results after just a couple of days. After the neuromodulator has fully set in, you should notice a dramatic reduction in the appearance of expression lines due to lack of full muscle movement. Some clients will notice that their fine lines have softened, even at rest.
Without a doubt the most incredible part of anti-wrinkle injections is how quickly the treatment is completed. You can literally walk into our Waterloo location on your lunch and be done in no time at all. Remember though, it will take a few days to see the results with maximum benefits showing 2 weeks after injection.
Even though this is popularly known as a lunch break procedure, you must take caution that you avoid any strenuous activity or exercise for at least 24 hours after your treatment. It is also important that you keep your head elevated 4 hours post treatment (i.e., no laying down), and do not touch or massage the area.

The number of units you require will be determined by the clinician during your initial consultation.
Anti-wrinkle injections are administered through a small number of injections under the skin. The majority of clients tolerate these without any issues or major complaints. The actual injection takes less than 5 to 10 minutes and the treatment results generally become visibly evident within a few days; however, to see the full benefit of the treatment it does take a full 2 weeks.
There are many different reasons to get anti-wrinkle injections! You’re probably a great candidate if you notice lines appear when you make different expressions with your face. For example, 11’s when you frown, horizontal lines when you raise your eyebrows, or crow’s feet lines around the eyes when you smile.
You might be a great candidate for a Lip Flip if you find your upper lip tends to curl under or hide when you smile. They can also be administered to the masseter muscles as a treatment for TMJ and headaches.
It’s a common misconception that neuromodulators are only for mature skin. They can be a valuable tool for preventative care as well! Botox® Cosmetic is a fantastic option to start addressing expression lines before they become deeply etched. We welcome patients of all ages (over 18) and genders seeking to achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance with any of our other neuromodulator options.
“Baby Botox” is a common term for young people who get this treatment. It is actually recommended to start getting anti-wrinkle injections before static wrinkles begin to form, so we are all for the “Baby Botox”! It is important to know that the injected solution or technique is not at all different for younger clients.
Here’s a breakdown:
Ultimately, the best choice depends on your individual needs and preferences. A consultation with our experienced injector at Worthy Skin & Beauty Bar can help you determine which option is most suitable for your desired outcome and any specific considerations you may have.

Anti-wrinkle injections feel like quick pinch. Many patients are pleasantly surprised by how little pain they feel. The majority of our patients have no complaints after the injection and easily continue on with their day.
The results typically last between 3 and 4 months.
It stays locally in the muscle where it was injected. But there is a very minimal risk of migration if the area is rubbed or excessively touched right after your treatment. This is the reason we advise our patients to avoid touching the area for 4 hours post injection. However long term, the product is simply metabolized and broken down into a natural by-product in the weeks and months after your treatment.
Contrary to a common misconception, Botox® won’t make you look older once the effects wear off. As the product fades, your muscles gradually regain their strength, and your facial expressions will return to normal. The lines and wrinkles you had before the treatment will reappear.
However, there’s a silver lining! Consistent use offers a potential long-term benefit. Over time, the targeted muscles may weaken slightly, which can lead to a reduction in the severity of wrinkles and potentially extend the time between treatments.
