We’ve all been there. Vacations and special events sneak up fast, and we’re scrambling to fit into the perfect clothes and look as radiant as possible amidst the hustle, bustle, and stress.
You know there will be photo-taking aplenty, but are you ready for your close-up? At the Torgerson Clinic in Toronto, Botox®, dermal fillers, and a variety of other non-surgical solutions can help you look photo-ready and better than ever. We’ve got you covered. Read on to learn about a few of the best quick-fix options for your Toronto special occasion.
Let’s face it, it’s been a hectic final quarter, and you’re drained. Not only do you feel tired, but maybe you look a little tired too. None but your best friends (and mother-in-law) would tell you this, but you could use a pick-me-up. The problem is, what could you possibly schedule to rejuvenate your appearance in time for that upcoming trip? We’ve got you covered! While a facelift takes detailed planning and weeks of recovery, there are fast, surgery-free, and low-risk procedures that deliver impactful results – instantly. Let’s look at a few of these fan favourites a little closer.
BOTOX® Toronto
Choose Experienced Injector
This versatile neuromodulator has been studied for decades and has a lengthy, proven track record for safety and efficacy. As the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment worldwide, BOTOX® in Toronto leads the way for men and women of all ages who need to smooth away a few years from their appearance, quickly.
BOTOX® Cosmetic comes from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, though it’s a purified protein derivative, so it’s safe for cosmetic and medical uses.
Your many face muscles work in harmony to create balanced expressions, but sometimes a few dominant ones steal the show. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with crinkles and lines formed by laughing and squinting in the sun all summer. However, we can celebrate happy lines without letting them take over.
This treatment will block impulses from specific facial nerves, so the muscles that lift, smooth, and create a happier expression are free to do their thing. This is an excellent alternative to surgery or other more invasive procedures. Without any incisions, stitches, or scars, you can carefully adjust the muscle movement causing your aged appearance.
What will your Toronto BOTOX® treatment be like?
An injectable solution is delivered with tiny little needles in micro-doses. You’ll quickly and easily relax facial muscle movement that creates furrows and frowns, crow’s-feet, and horizontal forehead lines. Your injector will consult with you first to learn about your areas of concern and assess your muscles. Then they’ll create a customized treatment plan targeting the specific areas that need adjustment. The procedure can be as quick as 15 minutes and may take longer when covering multiple areas or combining with fillers.
Men love this treatment too! It even has a nickname: “Brotox”. It takes a skilled injector to know just how to apply this treatment for male-specific features so you maintain your expression and character while your brows are lifted, your wrinkles are smoothed, and your face is perked up.
It also works well with artfully injected dermal filler for a combined “liquid facelift” effect. Depending on your goals, you can choose anything from a subtle softening between the brows to a transformative SoftLift, which restructures and rejuvenates the entire face. Either way, your treatment will be done quickly and comfortably in the office with no downtime to worry about.
When should you have it done?
We recommend that you allow yourself 7 to 10 days when possible, because there is a slight chance of bruising and it will take between 3 to 5 days for the product to take full effect. The results will last for roughly 4 to 5 months, and regularly scheduled maintenance will allow for less product to achieve your desired look over time.
Running out of time to get rested and refreshed before your high school reunion? This is the celebrity secret that works miracles quickly. We’re ready to book you in with one of our physician injectors today.
Dermal Fillers Toronto
Whats Next to BOTOX®?
Next to BOTOX®, Toronto is home to an impressive variety of dermal fillers for adding volume and softness and for filling in facial hollows. You can have a more kissable pout for your special someone with a little hyaluronic acid lip filler such as Volbella, Restylane, or Teosyal Kiss.
Many patients select lip fillers to correct fine lines around the mouth or asymmetries of the lips. This minimally invasive treatment takes about 15 to 30 minutes and can soften your whole look. Bright red lips for the besties photo shoot? Why not? You’ll pop with a fuller, younger-looking smile.
No need to go too large – few of our patients choose to look overly lippy. In reality, subtle and natural enhancements are most popular, and we excel in delivering these results. There is no downtime besides a little soreness the day of treatment, so book yourself in the week before and your lips will be soft and pretty in time for socializing.
Dermal fillers are also very useful for minimizing a tired look all over the face. As we age, we tend to lose healthy cheek volume and develop hollows or bags under the eyes. Aside from lifting the eye area with BOTOX®, in Toronto patients are also choosing a non-surgical under-eye fix with HA fillers specially designed for that area. These fluid gels are intended to be placed in the tear trough region, where they remove indents and shadowing, creating a smooth canvas. After just one quick appointment, you can look like you’ve had a year’s worth of good sleep.
The results from most hyaluronic acid (HA) facial fillers last between 6 and 12 months and fade naturally as the hydrating material is reabsorbed by the body.
Microneedling
Collagen Induction Therapy
Have you heard of collagen induction therapy? Also known as CIT, microneedling, or skin needling, it’s fast becoming all the rage because it targets multiple issues and achieves numerous goals. A specialized stamp, roller, or pen device is applied to the skin by the nurse or aesthetician. Tiny 2-mm points create micro-injuries in the surface, which allow two key things to happen:
1. The skin’s natural healing response kicks in and builds collagen and elastin to repair the holes. The process known medically as collagenesis thickens, smooths, and tightens your skin. The older we get, the less collagen our skin has, so this stimulation to boost collagen works wonders for achieving a more youthful appearance. You’ll essentially trick your skin into repairing itself and creating more of the good stuff you want.
2. The tiny channels into your skin allow for high-density nutrient serums to penetrate below the surface and directly into the dermis where they can work magic. Hyaluronic acid hydrators, vitamin serums, and other medical-grade skin care create a temporary glow when applied on the surface, but they go to work changing and remodelling the skin when they are drawn in deeply through microneedling. The combination of these approaches intensifies results and keeps working to regenerate stronger, healthier skin cells long after your treatments as well.
Fantastic for your face, hands, and neck area, needling achieves a long list of benefits:
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Improves skin texture
- Reduces vascular issues such as broken capillaries
- Improves tone and surface irregularities
- Improves the appearance of sun damage and hyperpigmentation
- Reduces pores
- Reduces acne scars
- Increases skin tightness
- Lifts sagging skin
Microneedling penetrates only to superficial layers and is not usually uncomfortable. As a result, downtime includes only 12-24 hours of sensitivity or pink skin. We recommend you schedule this treatment at least a few days before an event.

When should you have it done?
In our Yorkville clinic, we see patients roughly a week or two before their big event to freshen up their look with neuromodulators. We recommend that you allow yourself 7 to 10 days when possible, because there is a slight chance of bruising and it will take between 3 to 5 days for the product to take full effect. The results will last for roughly 4 to 5 months, and regularly scheduled maintenance will allow for less product to achieve your desired look over time. Running out of time to get rested and refreshed before your high school reunion? This is the celebrity secret that works miracles quickly. We’re ready to book you in with one of our physician injectors today. Don’t think you have enough time to give your face some help? We’ve got you covered. Give the Torgerson Clinic a call today, and you’ll have one less thing to worry about, but loads of confidence everywhere you go.
