Botox From Canada?

Wholesale Botox from Canada has become increasingly popular as a supplier to physicians operating medical spas and laser clinics in both Canada and America.

The reason is simple. Retail Botox is expensive. Wholesale Botox from Canada is only about 40% of the cost of Botox purchases made through pharmacies in America.

So let’s take a look at what Botox is and why it’s a favorite treatment in medical spas, skin clinics, and laser clinics.

To begin, what is Botox?

Botox is the brand name of a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. In large amounts, this toxin can cause botulism, which you probably associate with food poisoning. Despite the fact that one of the most serious complications of botulism is paralysis, scientists have discovered a way to use it to human advantage. Small, diluted amounts can be directly injected into specific muscles causing controlled weakening of the muscles.

The FDA approved such usage in the late 1980s upon the discovery that Botox could stop ailments like blepharospasm (uncontrolled blinking) and strabismus (lazy eye). Cosmetic physicians have been using Botox for years to successfully treat wrinkles and facial creases. In April 2002, Botox gained FDA approval for treatment of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows – called glabellar lines. However, Botox is often used ‘off label’ for other areas of the face as well.

How Does Botox Work?

Botox blocks nerve signals to the muscles. Injected muscles can no longer contract, which causes the wrinkles to soften.

Botox injectiosn are most often used on forehead lines, crow’s feet (lines around the eye) and frown lines. Wrinkles caused through sun exposure and gravity can’t be treated.

How Is A “Wholesale Botox” Treatment Performed?

The treatment takes only a few minutes. No anesthesia is required. Botox is injected into specific muscles with only minor discomfort. It generally takes three to seven days to take full effect. Aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications should be stopped two weeks before treatment as well in order to reduce bruising.

Does a treatment with Botox from Canada Last as long?

The effects from Botox will last four to six months. As muscle action gradually returns, the lines and wrinkles begin to re-appear and wrinkles need to be re-treated. The lines and wrinkles often appear less severe with time because the muscles are being trained to relax.

What Are the Side Effects of “Wholesale Botox?”

All Botox treatments have the same side effects.Temporary bruising is the most common side effect. Headaches, which resolve in 24-48 hours, can occur, but this is rare. A small percentage of patients may develop eyelid drooping. This usually resolves in three weeks. This development is usually caused by migration of the Botox and for this reason, you shouldn’t rub the treated area for 12 hours after injection or lay down for three to four hours. There have been no allergies associated with Botox to date.

Who Should Not Have Botox Treatments?

Pregnant women, breastfeeding women, or those have a neurological disease should not use Botox. Since Botox doesn’t work for all wrinkles, a consultation with a physician is always recommended.

Will My Insurance Pay For My Botox?

No. Botox is not generally covered by insurance when used for wrinkles.

Is wholesale Botox from Canda different from other Botox?

No. All Botox is made to the same standards in the same production plant (in Ireland). There’s absolutely no difference in the Botox from Canada, and Botox from America. The longer answer is that Botox that is not intended for sale specifically in America is not technicaly ‘approved’ by the Federal Drug Administration.

Wholesale Botox from Canada is a Select Partner of Medical Spa MD, a cosmetic medical community of plastic surgeons, cosmetic dermatologists, and physicians with more than 5,000 physician members and forums on Thermage Fraxel and laser treatments.
