Rapid-Onset, Short-Duration Neurotoxin

This treatment may be suitable for adults with moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, particularly those who:

-Are considering neuromodulators for the first time and want to experience the results before committing to a longer-lasting treatment
-Are curious about wrinkle relaxers but unsure how they will like the appearance or sensation of relaxed facial muscles
-Have hesitated to try traditional neuromodulators because their effects cannot be immediately reversed
-Prefer a shorter duration of results

Your injector will assess your medical history, facial anatomy and aesthetic goals to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you.

Consultation fees and treatment costs vary depending on the clinic, the provider, and the recommended treatment plan.

Visible improvements may begin to appear in as little as eight hours after treatment. Results continue to develop over the following days, with the peak effect typically visible within one week.

This treatment is designed to temporarily relax the muscles responsible for frown lines, helping to soften their appearance without necessarily eliminating all facial expression.

This treatment is designed to soften frown lines while maintaining a natural-looking appearance. In a 2026 clinical study published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal, approximately 85% of treated participants were satisfied with how natural their results looked after seven days.

Your injector will assess your facial anatomy, muscle movement and aesthetic goals to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

Results typically last two to three weeks, compared to approximately three to four months with traditional neuromodulators. This shorter duration makes the treatment an appealing option for those who prefer temporary results or want to experience the effects of wrinkle relaxers before committing to a longer-lasting treatment.

If you're happy with the outcome, your injector can discuss transitioning to a traditional neuromodulator and recommend an appropriate timeline for your next treatment.

Yes, botulinum toxin type E has been evaluated in clinical studies and is approved by Health Canada for specific cosmetic indications. As with other neuromodulators, side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness at the injection site.

Your injector will review your medical history and any potential risks before treatment to determine whether it is appropriate for you.

This treatment is currently approved in Canada for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, also known as glabellar lines.

If you are interested in treating other areas, such as forehead lines or crow's feet, your injector can recommend an appropriate alternative.

There is typically no downtime required, and most patients can return to their regular daily activities immediately after their appointment.

You may experience mild redness, swelling or tenderness around the injection sites, which generally resolves on its own. Your injector will provide specific aftercare instructions to help ensure the best possible results.

Touch-ups are not routinely recommended with this treatment. Because results develop quickly and typically last only two to three weeks, additional injections during the same treatment cycle are generally unnecessary.

Your injector can assess your results and recommend any adjustments for future treatments.

Depending on your aesthetic goals, this treatment may be incorporated into a personalized treatment plan alongside other injectable or skin rejuvenation treatments.

Your provider will assess which treatments are appropriate to combine and whether they should be performed during the same appointment or scheduled separately.

The primary difference is the onset and duration of results. This treatment uses botulinum toxin type E, which acts more quickly and has a shorter duration of effect than the botulinum toxin type A used in most traditional neuromodulators.

While traditional treatments generally last three to four months, the effects of botulinum toxin type E typically fade within two to three weeks. This offers a shorter-term option for those who are new to wrinkle relaxers or prefer a more temporary result.
