BOTOX® Injections in Oakville
for Natural, Confident Results
What is BOTOX® and How Does it Work?
BOTOX® is a purified protein derived from Botulinum toxin type A, used to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles. It works by blocking nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, softening the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, those formed from repeated expressions like frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows.
Common treatment areas include:
-
Frown lines between the brows (glabellar lines)
-
Forehead creases
-
Crow’s feet around the eyes
-
Bunny lines on the nose
-
Chin dimpling and jawline definition
When expertly injected, Botox® creates a smoother, more refreshed appearance, without looking frozen or overdone. Results typically begin to appear within 3–5 days and last up to 3–4 months, depending on the individual.
At Secret Faces Oakville, all Botox® treatments are administered by a trained Registered Nurse, ensuring precision, safety, and natural-looking results every time.
What is Brotox and How Does it Work?
Brotox is simply Botox® tailored for men.
While the product itself is the same, the approach is different. Men often have stronger facial muscles and different aesthetic goals, so the technique, dosage, and injection areas are adjusted to maintain a masculine, natural look.
Brotox works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines caused by repetitive expressions like frowning or squinting. It’s most commonly used to treat:
-
Deep forehead lines
-
Frown lines (the “11s” between the brows)
-
Crow’s feet around the eyes
Results typically begin within 3–5 days and last about 3–4 months. The goal? A refreshed, rested appearance, not a frozen one.
Understanding the Motivation Behind 'Brotox'
For many men, choosing Botox® isn’t about vanity; it’s about feeling aligned with how they see themselves. Whether you're navigating a competitive work environment, stepping back into the dating world, or simply wanting to look more rested, small enhancements can make a meaningful difference. In our experience at Secret Faces, men often share that it’s not about chasing youth, but about maintaining an edge, a subtle refresh that supports confidence and presence.
There’s also a growing awareness around mental well-being and self-image. Just as physical fitness and grooming have become integral to modern masculinity, cosmetic care is now seen as a logical extension of self-maintenance. The key is natural results and a conservative approach, which is exactly what our experts prioritize.
Understanding your motivation is the first step.
The next step? A conversation with a provider who listens.

BOTOX® Frequently Asked Questions
At Secret Faces in Oakville, we’re here to answer your questions before you take the next step. Here’s what clients often ask us about Botox® treatments.
What's the difference between Botox® and Dysport?
How quickly will I see results and how long do results last?
It can take up to 2 weeks for it to take full effect. Usually, we ask patients to wait for 14 days to fully see the results. DYSPORT has been shown in studies to start working within 3 days and last 2 to 5 weeks longer. This may vary from individual to individual.
The effects of BOTOX® last an average of up to 4 months. As muscle action gradually returns, the lines and wrinkles reappear, and you are ready for another treatment.
What areas can be treated?
The most commonly treated on label approved areas are:
-
the lines & folding of skin between the eyebrows caused by frowning known as “frown lines”
-
the lines around the eyes are known as crows feet caused by squinting or smiling
