Discount Botox from Canada has become very popular as a supplier to physicians operating plastic surgery centers, dermatology clinics, medical spas and laser clinics in both Canada and America who want to offer more value to patients at a lower cost.

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

First, let’s take a look at what Botox is, how Botox works, and why it’s a favorite treatment in medical spas, skin clinics, and laser clinics around the world. Then we’ll discuss if discount Botox from Canada is as safe as retail Botox from the US.

To begin, what is Botox?

Botox is the name of a specific toxin produced by the bacterium “Clostridium botulinum”. In large amounts, this toxin can cause botulism, which causes 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 treat wrinkles among other things. Small, diluted amounts can be directly injected into specific muscles causing controlled paralisis of specific muscles.

The American FDA approved such usage in the late 80s after discovering that Botox could treat uncontrolled blinking and strabismus (lazy eye). Doctors like plastic surgeons and dermatologists have been using Botox for years to treat wrinkles. In 2002, Botox gained FDA approval for treatment of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows… “glabellar frown lines”. However, Botox is most often used ‘off label’ for other wrinkles of the face, especially around the eyes.

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?

All Botox treatments are performed in exactly the same way. The treatment takes only a few minutes. No anesthesia is required. Botox is injected into specific muscles with minor discomfort. It generally takes three to seven days to take effect.

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 Botox?

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 Receive Botox Treatments?

Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have a neurological disease should not use Botox. Since Botox doesn’t work for all wrinkles, a consultation with a doctor is recommended.

Will My Insurance Pay For ‘Wholesale Botox’ Since It’s Cheaper?

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

Is wholesale Botox from Canda different from other Botox?

The short answer is no, all Botox is made to the same standards in the same production plant. There’s no difference in the Botox from Canada, and Botox from other places. The longer answer is that Botox that is not intended for sale specifically in the US is not technicaly ‘FDA approved’.
