Botox is more than just cosmetic treatment; it can have a positive effect on your life – both physically and mentally – and your lifestyle.

Wondering how that’s possible?

Let Juvea Aesthetics explain how Botox works and how it will renew your life in this all-important article.

What is Botox made of?

Botox is made with the highly purified protein clostridium botulinum, which in large amounts can be toxic. However, in the small doses that are administered through Botox, it is a safe and effective treatment.

As for how it works, that’s simple: it blocks the nerve signals in the muscles, minimizing the impacts and effects of aging. The muscles stop “weakening”, resulting in smoother appearances and more redefined skin. In the end, you’ll feel younger, more confident and full of life.

But that’s just a few of the benefits that come with Botox.

How can Botox Restore Your Confidence?

As a leading medi-spa in Calgary and Edmonton, we’ve witnessed firsthand the positive effects that come with Botox treatments. Too often, the label is that Botox is merely for cosmetic tampering, but we’re seen that it has powerful inner-personal effects that can change a person’s outlook and outcome. Here is how:

Boost Self-Esteem

No one in the ’30s wants to look like they’re in their ’40s, and the same applies to those in their 40’s not wanting to look in their 50’s. Whether it’s due to wrinkles or fine lines, or just the natural wear and tear of the skin, your confidence can sometimes take a battering when you don’t look or feel your best. You might feel less sure of yourself and who are you are supposed to be.

Botox can provide you with the boost that restores your self-esteem and your self-worth. It smoothes away the appearance of aging, leading you to have renewed skin and a youthful appearance. Many of our patients report higher self-esteem and improved self-confidence after getting Botox from us.

Maintain a Youthful Zest for Your Life

When you combine a younger appearance and restored confidence and self-belief, you’ll restore that youthful zest that makes life more exciting. Now that you’re filled with confidence, you’ll feel more inclined to do things, socialize, and explore new adventures. That, in turn, will make you happier with life. And it all started with Botox.

Can Help with Medical Conditions

Botox isn’t just for restoring your youthful glow; it can help with multiple medical conditions that can put a damper on your social life. Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), urinary incontinence or overactive bladder, migraines, muscles spasms, and TMJ pain can all have a debilitating effect on you physically and mentally while impacting your self-belief and your life.

Treating these conditions with Botox will not only make you feel better but give you the boost to take on the world without worrying about these conditions taking over your life. You just need the right injector to help you with your treatments…

The Importance of the Right Injector

Too often, people walk out of Botox treatments in Calgary feeling no different and don’t notice any changes. Why does that happen?

In most cases, it’s because they didn’t get the right treatment plan that restores their facial features and delivers the results they want. It could also be incorrect injection techniques, inappropriate product selections or poor aftercare advice. This all stems from the injector.

Lip fillers can add definition, volume and balance to your lips while enhancing the equilibrium of your facial features and symmetry.

As lip injections are made with hyaluronic acid – a natural substance found in the body, the same main ingredient as dermal fillers – these injectables enhance your natural features while ensuring you have no adverse reactions to the treatment. Results can last several months, depending on the number of injections required.

However, sometimes the results do not come out as expected. There have been numerous situations where lip fillers may result in less-than-ideal outcomes.

Why does it happen? What are the signs it’s gone wrong? And, most importantly, how do you fix botched lip fillers? Juvea Aesthetics has the key details for you in this all-important article.

Why Do Lip Injections Go Wrong?

There are many reasons why lip injections can go wrong.

Most commonly, it is due to incorrect injection technique, inappropriate product selection, applying too much filler, and poor aftercare.

Perhaps the ultimate red flag is when patients have had fake hyaluronic acid fillers or fillers not recognized and approved by Health Canada, administered to them. This can result in botched results and potentially harmful health issues. If you suspect red flags with the service or injector, such as overselling expectations or not being ethical in practice, you should avoid them.

Ultimately, these situations usually occur when receiving treatment from an unqualified and non-certified “professional” that has not received the required medical training to administer lip injections safely. That’s why it is imperative that if you wish to get lip injections, you do so from a trusted expert who has medical experience and training to deliver such services – like Juvea Aesthetics!

The Signs of Terrible Lip Injections

While there are side effects from the treatment, such as redness and bruising, there are very distinct signs that the treatment has gone wrong. Here are some of the signs that you should be on the lookout for:

Bumpy Lips: If small hard lumps and bumps do not subside within a few days, there is a chance that there might be an issue. Bumps and lumps occur when due to overfilling or injecting in uneven areas. It could also occur due to product selection.

Unevenness: Do you notice that your lips are uneven, unbalanced and not consistent? This is known as “asymmetrical fullness” and occurs when the lip filler is injected poorly in the treatment areas.

Overfilled Lips: Commonly known as duck lips, this occurs when there is excess filler across the lips, resulting in them protruding – like a duck’s beak. In many situations, overfilled lips can become stiff, making them difficult to amend.

Necrosis: Essentially known as ‘tissue death’, this is a serious complication that requires medical treatment. This occurs when the blood vessels are blocked either directly or indirectly blocked by the filler. Signs of this include:

Severe pain
Blanching of the skin and white spots
Mottled skin
Blue, black or purple discolouration
Blisters and skin shedding
Coolness (as there is no blood in the lips)

Necrosis is extremely rare but can happen if incorrect products are used or are poorly administered by an untrained professional. Seek immediate medical advice or contact our medi spas in Calgary or Edmonton for assistance.

How To Fix Botched Lip Fillers

So, how do you repair botched lip injections? Well, there are a few steps to take, but in the hands of a certified and trusted injector (have we mentioned how great we are?), it shouldn’t be a concern.

The main aim of this process is to dissolve the current filler before conducting a refill treatment. While some patients might desire to have more filler to help repair their botched results, it tends to end up with more problems in the future.

Here is how we approach your botched lips:

We will have a consultation to assess your facial structure and symmetry and align it with your personal goals. This way, we ensure that we can deliver perfect results for you.
We dissolve the filler in your lips by using hyaluronidase, which is a soluble protein enzyme. This enzyme destroys the bonds holding the hyaluronic acid in the lips. The effect of hyaluronidase begins right away but will take two full weeks for results (hence step 2 below). We have our own personal protocol for administering hyaluronidase, which has proven to be very effective.
We now have to wait a full two weeks to ensure that the hyaluronidase has effectively eliminated all the filler.
Finally, we administer a refill of filler. It’s here that injection technique is crucial to ensure you get your desired results. Before you know it, you’ll have the lips you’ve always wanted.

If you suspect any problems with your lip injections, you should speak to our injectors immediately. We can ensure you get beautiful lips with our service and care.
