Boey®
Boey® in Winnipeg at Victoria Park Medispa
This treatment uses botulinum toxin type E (trenibotulinumtoxinE), a new generation of wrinkle relaxer designed to deliver faster results with a shorter duration of effect. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for frown lines between the eyebrows, helping to smooth their appearance. Unlike traditional neurotoxins, which typically take several days to begin showing results and last three to four months, this treatment can produce visible improvements within hours, with results generally lasting two to three weeks.
Its shorter duration makes it particularly appealing to those who are curious about neuromodulators but hesitant to commit to several months of results. Whether you're unsure how you'll like the look or feel of relaxed facial muscles, or simply prefer a more temporary option, this treatment offers an opportunity to experience the effects of wrinkle relaxers before considering a longer-lasting alternative. The procedure itself takes just a few minutes, with no downtime typically required.
Additional Information
How does the treatment work?
Frown lines form when the muscles between your eyebrows contract as you frown, squint or concentrate. Over time, these repeated expressions can cause lines to become more noticeable, even when your face is relaxed.
This treatment temporarily reduces the movement of these muscles, allowing the skin above them to appear smoother and more relaxed. By softening the muscle contractions responsible for frown lines, it helps create a refreshed appearance without changing your natural facial features.
Who is a good candidate for Boey®?
This treatment may be suitable for adults with moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, particularly those who:
-Are considering neuromodulators for the first time and want to experience the results before committing to a longer-lasting treatment
-Are curious about wrinkle relaxers but unsure how they will like the appearance or sensation of relaxed facial muscles
-Have hesitated to try traditional neuromodulators because their effects cannot be immediately reversed
-Prefer a shorter duration of results
Your injector will assess your medical history, facial anatomy and aesthetic goals to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you.
How Long Does Boey® Cosmetic Last?
Results typically last two to three weeks, compared to approximately three to four months with traditional neuromodulators. This shorter duration makes the treatment an appealing option for those who prefer temporary results or want to experience the effects of wrinkle relaxers before committing to a longer-lasting treatment.
Can I switch to a longer-lasting neuromodulator treatment afterwards?
Yes. For patients who are new to wrinkle relaxers, this treatment offers an opportunity to experience the results before considering a longer-lasting option.
If you're happy with the outcome, your injector can discuss transitioning to a traditional neuromodulator and recommend an appropriate timeline for your next treatment.
What areas can be treated?
This treatment is currently approved in Canada for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, also known as glabellar lines.
If you are interested in treating other areas, such as forehead lines or crow's feet, your injector can recommend an appropriate alternative.
How is this different from a regular neurotoxin treatment?
The primary difference is the onset and duration of results. This treatment uses botulinum toxin type E, which acts more quickly and has a shorter duration of effect than the botulinum toxin type A used in most traditional neuromodulators.
While traditional treatments generally last three to four months, the effects of botulinum toxin type E typically fade within two to three weeks. This offers a shorter-term option for those who are new to wrinkle relaxers or prefer a more temporary result.
