Cheapest Botox Injection Cost in Edmonton?
Yeah, but where’s the cheapest Botox injection cost in Edmonton? When it comes to our faces, this isn’t necessarily a question that we should be asking ourselves. The more important aspect of these questions is finding out where the best value is. If you get too little Botox to see results or Botox that’s poorly injected, you’ll be wasting more money than if you get it done properly. On the other end of the spectrum, if your injector sells you more units than you actually need, you’ll also be throwing money away.

Frequently Asked Questions about Botox?
What are the side effects of Botox®?
The most common potential side effect of Botox injections is bruising in the treatment area. The crow’s feet tend to be the area of greatest risk for this concern. If you bruise easily, let your doctor know so they can take steps to reduce your risk. Some clients can experience mild post-injection headaches as well.
The “dreaded” potential side effect is for an eyelid droop that can last for 2-4 weeks though it is quite uncommon with a trained and qualified injector. More commonly, clients who have too much Botox injected into their forehead (frontalis muscle) can experience a forehead droop (ptosis) and hooding of the eyebrows. Other common side effects include the potential of a mild amount of asymmetry which can easily be corrected at a follow-up visit generally 2 weeks after your treatment.
In contrast, “Spocking” of the eyebrows can occur from injections into the forehead or during treatments of the frown lines if Botox is injected into the frontalis muscle. Fortunately, Spocking of the eyebrows can easily be corrected with a touch-up. Some clients may experience a worsening of under-eye bags with treatment for their crow’s feet. Ensure you always see a licensed, qualified, experienced cosmetic physician.
How long does Botox® last?
If you spend any time looking on the Internet, the answer to these questions that you will typically find is the old “3-6 months.” Most people when they read this fixate on the six months and set that as their expectation. In reality, there are a number of factors that determine how long Botox actually does last.
The first and most important part of answering this question is to define what you actually mean. In reality, there are two simple endpoints that we can discuss here. One, how long will the movement of my treatment area be suppressed? Two, how long will my wrinkles look diminished? Once Botox starts to wear off, movement in the treatment area will start to return to normal. Subsequent to the return of movement in the treatment areas, the wrinkles will come back. In general, younger clients can expect the return of the wrinkles to take much longer than older clients. If your wrinkles were scarred in prior to your treatment, they can return quite quickly in many cases. With regular treatments every three to four months, even scarred in wrinkles will often improve in appearance.
- Treatments with more units generally last longer.
- Treatments for younger clients typically also last longer.
- Some areas of the face wear off quicker (crow’s feet, forehead lines) while others can persist longer (frown lines, lipstick lines).
When was Botox® approved in Canada?
- 2001. Health Canada approved Botox cosmetic as a treatment for frown lines.
- 2005. Approved by Health Canada for the cosmetic treatment of horizontal forehead lines
