Dr. Rival's office performs many medical spa treatments including Restylane® and BOTOX® for Toronto, Ontario women and men. Take a moment to learn more about these treatments and when you're ready to get started, please call us or contact us online to schedule your visit.

BOTOX: The active ingredient in BOTOX is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It can be used to weaken muscles that produce undesirable facial expressions. Most commonly, our Toronto BOTOX patients are looking to weaken the frowning muscles that create frown lines between the eyebrows. BOTOX can also be used to diminish crow's feet and forehead lines. Treatment can take as little as 15 minutes, and the results will last from 4 to 6 months. This is a highly effective medical spa treatment which is why so many people choose BOTOX for smoother skin and a more youthful appearance.

Restylane: Restylane is a hyaluronic acid gel for filling out lips, facial wrinkles and facial folds. Do not be misled by the word 'acid' - these products are clear, cool gels that do not damage the tissues when they are injected. Perlane® is a slightly longer-lasting version of Restylane our Toronto area patients often choose for lip enhancement and the correction of deeper folds. Results from both Restylane and Perlane last many months before any touch-up treatments are required.

Dermalive® & Dermadeep®: Dermalive and Dermadeep are two complementary semi-permanent injectable implants designed for filling wrinkles and folds, for correcting skin imperfections and for remodelling facial contours. The results look natural and last for many years instead of the usual few months. There is little risk of allergy and the injectables contain no preservatives or anaesthesics and can therefore be used immediately without the necessity of a skin test.

Artecoll: Artecoll differs from all the preceding products in that it is a permanent injectable filler that consists of 'plastic' microspheres suspended in a solution of bovine collagen. It is used to fill out wrinkles and folds and to provide lip fullness. Following injection the collagen will slowly disappear but the microscopic plastic beads remain. Once again the patient must be tested for allergy to the collagen. Treatment with Artecoll usually requires a number of sessions over several months. The results can be expected to last for years.
