Botox and Cosmetic Injectables in Waterloo Region

We offer a full range of cosmetic injectables. Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport and Xeomin) cover wrinkle relaxation, masseter treatment for jaw slimming and clenching, and therapeutic uses like hyperhidrosis. We also offer dermal fillers for volume restoration and contouring, Skinboosters for deep skin hydration, and vitamin injections. Every injectable treatment at Bonita is performed by Jessica Caceres, NP.

Yes. In Ontario, Nurse Practitioners are regulated by the College of Nurses of Ontario and have an extended scope of practice that includes prescribing, diagnosing, and performing cosmetic procedures such as injectables. Every injection at Bonita is performed by Jessica Caceres, who has been injecting since 2017 and holds advanced training in injection technique and facial anatomy. Having a regulated NP perform your injectables means you have a clinician who can assess your full health picture. We look at far more than just your face.

Ask who is injecting and their credential, how many units they recommend and why, what product they use, and whether they will review your medical history. A good clinic welcomes every one of these questions.

This concern is at the centre of why Bonita exists. Our philosophy is enhancement, not transformation. The goal is always that you look like yourself: rested, refreshed, and well. We use conservative volumes, anatomically guided technique, and a bias toward under-treating. We would rather you come back for more than leave looking like you had something done.

Botox at Bonita is $9.50 per unit. Most first treatments use 20 to 40 units, so a first visit is often about $190 to $380. Masseter injections are $9 per unit. We confirm your unit count before we start, so there are no surprises.

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are neuromodulators that temporarily relax the muscles causing dynamic wrinkles, including frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet. Dermal fillers are gel-based, usually hyaluronic acid, and add volume where the face has lost it, or smooth deeper lines that are present even at rest. Most people benefit from both, though not always at the same time. A consultation helps us identify which combination will give you the most natural result.

Neuromodulators generally last 3 to 5 months, depending on the area treated and your individual metabolism. Dermal fillers vary by product and area: lip filler typically lasts 6 to 9 months, while cheek and jawline filler can last 12 to 18 months or longer. Skinboosters are recommended in a series with maintenance sessions every 6 months. We will give you a realistic timeline at your consultation.

Most clients find injectables more comfortable than they expect. Neuromodulators are administered with very fine needles and are typically described as a brief pinch. Dermal fillers take a little longer and can involve mild pressure at certain injection points, but most products contain a local anaesthetic (lidocaine) that improves comfort as the treatment progresses. We work at your pace and never rush the appointment.

Before your appointment, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, including aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, and alcohol, for 48 to 72 hours where possible, as these can increase bruising. After injectables, avoid strenuous exercise, lying face-down, and direct heat (sauna, hot yoga) for 24 hours. We provide a full aftercare guide at every appointment and are available by phone or email if you have questions afterward.

Yes. There are no contraindications between cosmetic injectables and hormone therapy. Many of our patients pursue both, because hormonal changes affect the skin from the inside while injectables address them from the outside. Jessica manages both at Bonita, which means your care is coordinated by one clinician who understands your whole picture.

No. Cosmetic injectables, including neuromodulators and dermal fillers, are not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. This is a standard safety precaution. We are always happy to help you plan your treatments around these stages of life and will welcome you back when the time is right.
