Facial lines and forehead wrinkles are inevitable signs of aging, but they’re far from untreatable. That’s where BOTOX® from our Vancouver-based team comes in. This injectable treatment is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the world thanks to its quick application and reliable results.
Treatment sessions take only minutes and result in smoother skin that appears after a few days and lasts for months at a time. Patients who choose BOTOX® with Dr. Robyn Watts and her team will benefit from careful attention before, during, and after their treatment to promote the best and longest-lasting results possible.

To determine if BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you, it’s important to understand what it can do. This injectable treatment restores a youthful look in areas where muscle activity causes what are known as dynamic wrinkles to form. The three most common areas are crow’s feet next to the eyes, frown lines between the eyebrows, and horizontal lines across the forehead.
For some patients, BOTOX® can also be administered along the jawline and neckline. The exact treatment areas suitable for injection are unique to each patient and are best determined during a consultation with our experienced team.
If you think it’s too early to treat those creases, you may be surprised. Although younger patients’ wrinkles might not be very visible at the time of consultation, receiving injections that relax the muscles now can prevent wrinkles from deepening later—and requiring more extensive solutions.
Dr. Robyn Watts is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in breast reconstruction, cosmetic breast surgery, and body contouring. Trained in Canada and the U.S., she leads plastic surgery at Richmond Hospital, practices at Cambie Surgical Centre, teaches at UBC, and is known for meticulous technique, compassion, and natural results.
Even if you haven’t considered a cosmetic procedure before, you’ve likely heard of BOTOX® due to its widespread popularity. While the results may look like magic, its rejuvenating properties are grounded in science.
Botulinum toxin is a natural protein created by certain types of bacteria. Once purified, this protein can be safely injected into facial muscles that lie beneath the problem areas. The active ingredient is what’s known as a neuromodulator, which alters how the injected facial muscles receive signals from the brain. BOTOX® prevents the targeted muscles from receiving nerve signals that would otherwise cause them to contract and exaggerate the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
In other words, every laugh shared with friends and every scowl aimed at the latest news headline will be less stressful on your skin. Over time, the protein gradually breaks down and dissipates—at which point you can receive another BOTOX® treatment to maintain your results.
Every BOTOX® procedure with Dr. Robyn Watts’ team begins with the most important step: a thorough consultation. During your visit, Dr. Watts will answer any questions or concerns and determine the best way to use injections to highlight your natural beauty. If BOTOX® is deemed the best treatment option, we can begin that same day.
Either Dr. Watts or our experienced LPN, Nicole, will perform the injections with your safety and comfort as their top priorities. Patients describe the injection process as feeling like slight pinches to the skin. The treatment takes less than 15 minutes, and there is little to no downtime. There are a few restrictions to keep in mind. Patients should avoid strenuous exercise, hot tubs, and saunas for the first 24 hours after their treatment.
You can expect to see results from your BOTOX® treatment within three to five days, with full effects developing in about two weeks. You’ll begin to notice that expressions like smiles and frowns no longer crease the treated areas.
Each patient’s experience will vary slightly in terms of when results appear and how long they last. Factors such as metabolism, the extent of existing wrinkles, and the type of muscles treated can all impact the duration. Most patients enjoy their refreshed appearance for about four to six months.
BOTOX® is safe for repeated use, so once the effects begin to wear off, patients can schedule another appointment to maintain their results. Since Dr. Watts’ team will already be familiar with your treatment areas, follow-up visits are quick and efficient—often possible between errands or even on your lunch break.
If you’re looking for skincare options to complement your BOTOX® injections—or as alternatives—our team offers several non-surgical rejuvenation strategies.
Juvederm® injectable fillers are great for restoring a youthful appearance around the nose, cheeks, and lips, where creases often form due to volume loss.
