Top Areas of Treatment for Botox
The Nefertiti Neck Lift
The Nefertiti Neck Lift is a non-surgical procedure that uses Botox to redefine the jawline and soften neck bands. This targeted treatment specifically focuses on the platysma muscles, which play a key role in the overall appearance of the neck and jawline. By carefully relaxing these muscles, the Nefertiti Neck Lift not only diminishes the appearance of neck bands and sagging skin but also enhances the definition of the jawline, contributing to a more youthful and refined profile.

What is Botox?
Whether you're seeking to reduce wrinkles, prevent new ones, or enhance your facial features, our team will create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals.
Treatments are performed during a quick visit to our Vancouver clinic and can take as little as 15 minutes to complete. A fine needle is used to make injections in precise areas of the targeted facial muscles. Most patients experience little to no pain, only a mild “pinprick” sensation.
With Dysport® Botox®, Dr. Godley takes a “less-is-more” approach to ensure you still look like you, just more youthful and refreshed!

Botox for TMJ
TMJ muscles can become inflamed and painful if this joint is damaged, displaced, or overworked through stress or grinding the teeth at night.
This can lead to severe tension and migraine headaches as well as sharp pain in the jaw. Botox® or Dysport® relieve these symptoms by relaxing the masseters and making them unable to engage in the powerful and often unconscious clenching movement that produces these symptoms.
Treatment is fast, straightforward, and effective. Most patients experience noticeable relief within a day or two.

Botox FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Botox last?
In general, Botox results last for three to six months.
How long does it take for Botox to kick in?
Botox usually starts to show its effects within 3 to 7 days, with the full results becoming noticeable within two weeks.
How many units of Botox for the forehead?
Typically, 10-30 units are used for the forehead in Botox treatments. The exact amount depends on factors like muscle strength and the desired look. Men usually need more units than women.
What is Botox made of? Is Botox safe?
Botox is a protein made from Botulinum toxin, which the bacterium Clostridium botulinum produces. Botox is a toxin, but when doctors use it correctly and in small doses, it can have benefits for both cosmetic and medical uses. Along with cosmetic uses, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have approved it as a treatment for various health issues, including eyelid spasms, excessive sweating, some bladder disorders, and migraine.
What not to do after Botox?
After receiving Botox, it's advisable to avoid strenuous exercise, rubbing the treated area, lying down for a few hours, and consuming alcohol. Our doctors will provide specific post-treatment instructions.
Can you get Botox while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There hasn't been any conclusive research on Botox's safety in pregnancy and breastfeeding, so this is generally a time to avoid Botox treatments.
