The Top 5 Reasons to Get Botulinum injections (Botox and Dysport) in Toronto with Dr. DuPéré: Benefits and Myths Explained

June 16th, 2025 Share

First, it is important to mention that the Botulinum molecule is a very old medication!  In fact, very few medications are older than Botulinum! – digoxin, aspirin, penicillin, cannabis sativa and many other herbal compounds are considered older.  Botulinum molecule was isolated in 1895!  It was then purified and prepared for clinical research in 1946.  In 1978, it was already used to treat muscle spasm such as seen with blepharospam, cervical dystonia, etc.  In 1989, it was approved officially for therapeutic use and in 2002 for cosmetic use.  So we know a lot about Botox!

In the world of cosmetic enhancements, Botox® remains one of the most trusted and effective treatments for smoothing fine lines and refreshing the face. But not all Botox is created equal. When choosing where—and who—to trust with your appearance, expertise, precision, and results matter.

At VISAGE Clinic in Toronto, Dr. Marc DuPéré, a board-certified plastic surgeon, personally performs all neuromodulator injections, including Botox and Dysport. This is a rare advantage—and one that makes all the difference in the quality and safety of your results.

Here are the top reasons to consider Botox with Dr. DuPéré—and why starting at the right time with the right provider is key.

1. Unmatched Expertise and Medical Precision

Botox may be quick and non-surgical, but it demands expert knowledge of facial anatomy. Dr. DuPéré is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and has trained doctors across North America in advanced injection techniques.

Unlike many clinics where nurses or estheticians handle treatments, Dr. DuPéré brings surgical-level accuracy and sterility, along with artistic vision to every injection. This minimizes risks and maximizes results, particularly in delicate areas like the eyes, lips, neck and forehead.

2. Customized, Natural-Looking Results

Every face is different, and so is every Botox plan. Dr. DuPéré customizes each treatment based on your facial structure, muscle activity, goals and gender:  men and women get a different pattern of injection and a different dose. The result? A smoother, refreshed look that never appears stiff or “overdone.”

His philosophy: enhance your natural features without freezing your expressions—so you still look like yourself, only more rested and youthful.

3. The Ideal Age to Start Botox? Sooner Than You Might Think

One of the most common questions patients ask is: “What’s the right age to start Botox?”

There’s no single answer, but many patients begin treatments in their late 20s to early 30s as a form of preventative Botox. Starting early can help train facial muscles to relax and prevent the formation of deep-set wrinkles over time—especially in high-movement areas like the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes and mouth.

Some young patients do have lines too!  Dr DuPéré can attest to this as he, himself, had 3 forehead lines while in medical school at age 19!  Some may see those lines as “thinker lines” but Dr Marc saw them as “worry lines”.  So you can bet that his forehead lines have been erased moons ago!

That said, Botox is effective at virtually any adult age. Whether you’re preventing future lines or smoothing existing ones, Dr. DuPéré will recommend the most appropriate plan for your age and goals.

4. More Than Just Wrinkle Reduction

Botox isn’t just about fine lines—it offers multiple benefits:

  • Reduces jaw tension and teeth grinding (bruxism)
  • Treats migraines and tension headaches
  • Minimizes underarm, palm and soles sweating (hyperhidrosis)
  • Lifts the eyebrows and softens lip lines
  • Smoothen scrotal skins and brings down elevated testes (scrotox)
  • Treat the bunny lines on the nose
  • Treats the Peau d’Orange (pitting) look of one’s chin
  • Treats gummy smile by lowering the upper lip

Dr. DuPéré’s knowledge allows him to use Botox in advanced, strategic ways—far beyond basic cosmetic use.

5. The Most Popular Areas for Botox. 

Botox is versatile and highly effective in treating several key areas of the face where wrinkles tend to form. At VISAGE Clinic, the most requested treatment zones include:

  • Forehead lines – Smooths the horizontal lines that deepen with age and expression.
  • Frown lines – Softens the vertical creases (“the “11) between the eyebrows caused by squinting or stress.
  • Crow’s feet – Minimizes the fine lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes when smiling or laughing.
  • Brow lift – Gently elevates the brows to open and refresh the eye area.
  • Lip lines – Reduces “smoker’s lines” around the mouth and improves lip definition.
  • Jawline and Masseters – Double action of Botox: Slims the face and alleviates jaw tension from clenching or grinding (bruxism).
  • Neck bands (platysmal bands) – Smooths the neck for a more youthful profile.
  • Post-HALO laser:  It is common to add Botox to laser-treated skin as to prevent the premature wrinkling post laser resurfacing.

Each area requires precise technique and deep anatomical knowledge, which is why so many patients trust Dr. DuPéré for consistently natural and balanced results.
