Aging is a natural process, but that doesn’t mean you can’t maintain a youthful, refreshed look. Botox is one of the most popular non-surgical treatments to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, giving you a smoother and more youthful appearance. At Ocean Medi Spa in Ajax, we specialize in safe and effective Botox treatments tailored to your beauty goals.
If you’re considering Botox for the first time or just want to learn more, this ultimate guide will walk you through everything you need to know, from how Botox works to what you can expect before, during, and after treatment.
What Is Botox and How Does It Work?
Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, which temporarily relaxes facial muscles to prevent them from contracting. This helps smooth out wrinkles caused by repetitive expressions such as frowning, smiling, or squinting.
Common areas treated with Botox include:
- Forehead lines (horizontal lines across the forehead)
- Frown lines (between the eyebrows, also called “11 lines”)
- Crow’s feet (fine lines around the eyes)
- Bunny lines (wrinkles on the sides of the nose)
- Lip flip (subtle enhancement for a fuller upper lip)
- Jawline slimming & TMJ relief
At Ocean Medi Spa in Ajax, our skilled nurse injector, Savona, ensures that every Botox treatment is customized for natural-looking, rejuvenated results.

What to Expect Before, During & After Botox Treatment
Before Your Botox Treatment
Before receiving Botox, you will have a consultation at Ocean Medi Spa to discuss:
- Your areas of concern
- Your desired results
- Your medical history to ensure Botox is right for you
Our specialist will assess your facial structure and recommend the best Botox treatment plan tailored to your goals.
During Your Botox Treatment
The actual Botox procedure is quick and virtually painless. Here’s what happens:
- Your skin is cleansed, and a numbing agent may be applied for comfort.
- Small amounts of Botox are injected using a fine needle.
- The process takes only 10-15 minutes, with minimal discomfort.
There is no downtime, and you can return to your daily activities immediately after your appointment.
After Your Botox Treatment
- Results start appearing in 3-5 days, with full effects visible within 10-14 days.
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours.
- Avoid intense exercise, alcohol, and excessive heat (like saunas or hot showers) for 24-48 hours.
- Minor redness or swelling at the injection site is normal and fades quickly.
Botox results typically last 3-4 months, and regular touch-ups help maintain a youthful, refreshed look.
Is Botox Safe?
Yes! Botox is FDA-approved and has been used safely for decades. At Ocean Medi Spa in Ajax, we prioritize safety and natural-looking results, ensuring that your facial expressions remain natural—never frozen.
Possible side effects are minimal but may include:
- Temporary redness or swelling at the injection site
- Mild bruising (rare and temporary)
- Temporary headache (in rare cases)
Most clients experience no side effects and are thrilled with their results!

- Men and women looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
