Top Areas of Treatment for Neuromodulators
The Nefertiti Neck Lift
The Nefertiti Neck Lift is a non-surgical procedure that uses neuromodulators (wrinkle-releasing injections) to redefine the jawline and soften neck bands. This targeted treatment specifically focuses on the platysma muscles, which play a key role in the overall appearance of the neck and jawline. By carefully relaxing these muscles, the Nefertiti Neck Lift not only diminishes the appearance of neck bands and sagging skin but also enhances the definition of the jawline, contributing to a more youthful and refined profile.

What is Botox?
Treatments are performed during a quick visit to our Vancouver clinic and can take as little as 15 minutes to complete. A fine needle is used to make injections in precise areas of the targeted facial muscles. Most patients experience little to no pain, only a mild “pinprick” sensation.
With Dysport® Botox®, Dr. Godley takes a “less-is-more” approach to ensure you still look like you.

Botox for TMJ
TMJ muscles can become inflamed and painful due to damage, displacement, or overuse, such as from stress or teeth grinding. Botox offers relief by relaxing the tense jaw muscles, helping to alleviate pain and reduce symptoms like headaches and jaw discomfort.
Treatment is fast, straightforward, and effective. Most patients experience noticeable relief within a day or two.

What is Botox made of? Is Botox safe?
Botox is a protein made from Botulinum toxin, which the bacterium Clostridium botulinum produces. Botox is a toxin, but when doctors use it correctly and in small doses, it can have benefits for both cosmetic and medical uses. Along with cosmetic uses, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have approved it as a treatment for various health issues, including eyelid spasms, excessive sweating, some bladder disorders, and migraine.
What not to do after Botox?
After receiving Botox, it's advisable to avoid strenuous exercise, rubbing the treated area, lying down for a few hours, and consuming alcohol. Our doctors will provide specific post-treatment instructions.
Can you get Botox while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There hasn't been any conclusive research on Botox's safety in pregnancy and breastfeeding, so this is generally a time to avoid Botox treatments.
