Our approach

What are neuromodulator injections?

At DGB Clinic, neuromodulators—often called botulinum toxin or Botox—temporarily reduce activity in selected muscles. They can soften expression lines and address certain aesthetic or functional concerns.


We assess each person’s anatomy before treatment and use Health Canada-approved products such as Botox, Dysport, Nuceiva and Xeomin, with the aim of preserving natural expression.

Treatment goals

Soften wrinkles and help prevent new expression lines

Neuromodulators target muscles involved in dynamic lines on the forehead, between the brows, around the eyes and mouth, and on the chin. Reducing repeated contractions can soften existing lines and help limit new ones.


The technique:

Small doses are placed with a fine needle in carefully selected areas. The amount is adjusted to your anatomy and goals.


Benefits:

  • Visible effects in three to five days, settling by two weeks.

  • Natural facial expression is preserved.

  • A brief treatment with no social downtime.

FAQ

Your questions, answered

Are there any contraindications?

Treatment is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with a known allergy to botulinum toxin, or with certain neuromuscular diseases. A full medical assessment is completed first.

Will the result look natural?

Yes, with precise dosing and placement. The goal is to relax muscles without freezing your expressions. Treatment is tailored to your anatomy for a natural look.

At what age can I start injections?

There is no fixed minimum age. Neuromodulators may be considered for early expression lines or existing wrinkles. A medical consultation helps determine the right time for you.

Does it hurt?

The injections use a very fine needle. Most patients feel only a slight prick; no anaesthetic is needed.
