What is Botox®?
Botox and other neuromodulators, such as Dysport®, Daxxify™ or Xeomin®, are purified, medical-grade injections of botulinum toxin. This toxin is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. In the appropriate doses, it acts as a muscle relaxer that can help to improve or eliminate the appearance of wrinkles. Some individuals also choose to use it as prevention against the development of wrinkles over time. It can also be used for a number of other therapeutic indications, such as excessive sweating. At Valespring Cosmetic Surgery Institute, we offer Botox in Richmond Hill to help you achieve your aesthetic goals with Botox injections administered by our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Stephanie Dreckmann, or one of our expert injectors.

Areas for Botox Injections
Botox Cosmetic is used most commonly to treat forehead lines, frown (or glabellar) lines, or crow’s feet around the eyes. It can also be used to perform a non-surgical smile or brow lift, to give a pout boost, and to reduce lines around the mouth or nose (bunny lines). It can also treat a gummy smile, dimpled chin, and neck bands. Masseter Botox injections are commonly used to provide jaw contouring and a slimmer facial profile. We also offer therapeutic Botox for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) treatment.
Botox for Excessive Sweating
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can be an embarrassing and uncomfortable condition that affects daily life. Botox is a highly effective treatment for managing this condition. At Valespring Cosmetic Surgery Institute in Richmond Hill, Dr. Stephanie Dreckmann offers Botox injections specifically designed to address excessive sweating, providing relief and enhancing your quality of life.
How Does Botox Treat Excessive Sweating?
Botox works by blocking the nerve signals responsible for activating the sweat glands. When Botox is injected into the areas affected by excessive sweating, such as the underarms, palms, or soles of the feet, it temporarily halts the production of sweat in those regions. This leads to a significant reduction in sweating and helps you stay dry and comfortable.

It usually takes 1-2 weeks to see the results of the injections.
