To employ the highest quality human resources and medical technology available to achieve excellence in the quality of care we provide, while improving access to cosmetic procedures in a professional, private, and safe environment.
Even for clients who prefer to avoid undergoing a surgical procedure, there are many exciting cosmetic treatments available at The Landings Surgical Centre. Injectable products are among the most significant recent advances in cosmetic medicine. These products can be used either instead of face lift, brow lift, and other facial surgeries, or in combination with them for an even more effective treatment. BOTOX® Cosmetic and other injectables help our Halifax, Nova Scotia area patients safely and conveniently rejuvenate their appearance and improve their self-image. Combined with clinical skin care treatments, these products become even more powerful.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a revolutionary product available at our practice to treat frown lines, crow's feet, and other stubborn facial wrinkles. These wrinkles form over time as the muscles that control a person's facial expressions repeatedly contract. BOTOX® injections relax these muscles, smoothing away wrinkles for months at a time. The difference is subtle, but provides a more youthful facial appearance.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is composed of a purified protein which is synthesized in a laboratory from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Though the bacterium itself is dangerous, BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are entirely safe when administered by the hands of our certified nurse injector.
The most common complication is a slight, temporary drooping of the eyelid. BOTOX® Cosmetic is used in extremely small amounts and does not spread throughout the body, so patients can return to full activity immediately. BOTOX® Cosmetic can be used by almost anyone; patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or those who have a neurological disease, should not use BOTOX® Cosmetic.
New uses of BOTOX® Cosmetic include reduction in sweating of hands and armpits and relief of headaches.

The BOTOX® injection process is quick and simple. Patients at our practice often describe it as fast and virtually painless. An assessment is made of the muscles to be targeted, followed by a precise injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic. The entire process takes no longer than 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being targeted.
Patients are free to return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. BOTOX® injections take effect over the following days, and the results usually last several months before another treatment is required.
