Botox for Toronto Patients, Performed by a Physician
Botox is the most commonly performed cosmetic treatment in Toronto and the one most often done badly, because it is easy to inject and hard to judge. Dr. Mazzuca assesses and injects every patient herself, doses conservatively, and reviews the result at two weeks.

What this covers
What Toronto patients tell us about their last clinic
Most people who come to this clinic for Botox have had it before, somewhere in the city. The stories repeat. A forehead that could not move for four months. Brows that dropped and made them look tired. One side higher than the other and nobody available to look at it. A dose set by the label rather than by their face. None of these are failures of the drug. They are failures of assessment, which is the part that gets skipped when a clinic is built for throughput.
Here, the assessment is the appointment. Dr. Mazzuca watches how your muscles actually move, asks what you do for a living and how expressive you need to be, and plans a dose for your face. First-time patients are dosed conservatively and reviewed at two weeks, because adding a few units is easy and removing them is impossible.
Pricing, without the games
Botox is $10 per unit, which is at the lower end of what downtown Toronto clinics advertise and lower than most physician-run practices in the city. There is no per-area flat fee, no minimum, no membership. You pay for the units used, you are told the number before treatment, and the same price is published on the online booking page. A typical first treatment of the frown lines and forehead uses 30 to 50 units; crow's feet add 12 to 24.
| Area | Typical range | Approximate cost |
|---|---|---|
| Frown lines (glabella) | 15 to 25 units | $150 to $250 |
| Forehead lines | 10 to 20 units | $100 to $200 |
| Crow's feet (both sides) | 12 to 24 units | $120 to $240 |
| Masseter (jaw slimming, clenching) | 40 to 60 units | $400 to $600 |
| Lip flip | 4 to 8 units | $40 to $80 |
Ranges are typical starting points. Your dose is set at assessment and may be lower.
The trip from Toronto
The clinic is at Woodbine and Major Mackenzie in Markham, about 35 to 45 minutes from downtown via the DVP and 404 outside rush hour, less from North York, Scarborough or Thornhill. Parking is free. A Botox appointment is thirty minutes including assessment, and there is nothing to do afterwards except stay upright for four hours, so most Toronto patients book it on the way to or from work or on a Saturday morning.
If you have never been treated here, book a consultation ($50, applied to nothing but your own peace of mind) or a fifteen-minute video consultation ($20) first. Returning patients can book Botox directly.
What to expect
The needle is a 30 to 33 gauge, each injection is a one-second pinch, and the whole treatment takes under five minutes once marked. Small bumps settle in half an hour. Results begin at day three to five and are complete at two weeks, which is when the review happens. A standard dose lasts three to four months; lighter doses eight to ten weeks. For the full timeline, read how long Botox takes to work, and for the frozen-face question, this article.
Who should not book
Pregnant or breastfeeding patients, anyone with a neuromuscular condition such as myasthenia gravis, and anyone with an active infection at the treatment site. If you have had a droopy eyelid from a previous treatment elsewhere, mention it; it changes placement.
