Hi, I’m Nurse Moreen, and if you’re looking for cosmetic injections in Nanaimo, you’ve come to the right place.
I provide neuromodulator such as Botox® and Xeomin® along with dermal filler treatments at Dr. Jenny Skincare, working alongside Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Jenny Cheng. Our clinic is conveniently located inside Millstone Medical, 1621 Dufferin Crescent, Suite #204, just kitty-corner to NRGH, with paid parking at the back of the building and free street parking.
When you arrive, you’ll be warmly greeted by Tamara, our knowledgeable office manager who has years of experience in plastics and injectables. From there, I’ll invite you into my treatment room for your informed consultation, the most important step in every aesthetic journey.
Every Treatment Starts with a Consultation
Before any injection, we’ll sit down together to discuss your goals, health history, and expectations. My approach is rooted in evidence-based medicine and guided by safety, education, and collaboration. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your treatment options and a customized plan that fits your needs and comfort level. We'll only proceed once you fully understand the benefits, risks, and after-care.

How Does Botox Work?
Botox and other neuromodulators are prescription medications that work by relaxing the muscles responsible for dynamic lines, those fine lines and wrinkles that appear with expression such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. The goal isn’t to freeze your face, but to create a refreshed, natural look while maintaining movement.
Is Botox Safe and What Are the Possible Risks?
When administered by a qualified professional under proper medical oversight, Botox is considered safe and well-studied. As with any medical procedure, there are potential side effects such as mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Rare reactions are discussed thoroughly during your consultation so you can make an informed decision before treatment.
How Much Does Botox Cost in Nanaimo?
The cost of Botox in Nanaimo can vary depending on the area being treated and the number of units recommended for your individual anatomy. Because Botox is a prescription medication, dosing is customized for each patient to ensure natural, safe, and effective results.
At Dr. Jenny Skincare, Botox treatments with Aesthetic Nurse Moreen typically range from $10–$11 per unit, depending on the treatment area. A detailed treatment plan and cost estimate are always reviewed with you before moving forward.
We also offer:
• 15% off for Dr. Jenny’s plastic surgery patients
• A health-care worker rate
• Pricing is subject to change

What Results Can I Expect and How Long Will They Last?
You’ll typically notice results within 3 to 7 days, with full effect around two weeks. Botox results generally last 3 to 4 months, depending on your metabolism, muscle activity, and treatment area.
Who Performs the Injections and What Are Their Qualifications?
All injectable treatments are performed by me, Nurse Moreen, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) with training in Aesthetic Specialty Nursing. Every procedure is medically directed and overseen by Plastic Surgeon Dr. Jenny Cheng, ensuring safe, ethical, and clinically sound care in accordance with BCCNM standards and Health Canada regulations.
Which Brand Should I Use, Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport?
We use only Health Canada–approved products such as Botox®, Xeomin®, and Juvéderm®. Each has its own properties and indications. During your consultation, we’ll review the available options and discuss what may be most suitable for your individual goals, anatomy, and treatment plan as directed by my medical director Dr. Jenny Cheng.
How long does it take to see Botox results?
Most patients receiving Botox in Nanaimo with Nurse Moreen begin to notice changes within the first few days, as the treated muscles start to relax and fine lines soften. The full effect develops gradually, with the most predictable, optimal results visible at the two-week mark.
Because Botox takes time to settle and reach full strength, we recommend booking your treatment at least three weeks before any important occasion such as weddings, photoshoots, or special events to ensure your results look natural and fully refined.
Botox timelines can vary slightly from person to person, but a two-week follow-up is always available to assess your outcome and ensure everything looks balanced.
What is cosmetic Botox used for?
Cosmetic Botox is used to gently relax the facial muscles that create lines, creases, and expression wrinkles over time.
Common areas treated with Botox in Nanaimo include:
-
Forehead lines
-
Frown lines / Glabellar lines (“11’s”)
-
Crow’s feet
-
Nasalis (“bunny lines”)
-
Upper lip lines (“smoker’s lines”)
-
Marionette lines (downturn at corners of mouth)
-
Gummy smile
-
Chin dimpling / orange-peel chin
Botox helps soften overactive muscles, smooth existing lines, and prevent deeper creases from forming, all while maintaining natural expression.
How Should I Prepare and What About After-Care?
Before your treatment, it’s best to avoid alcohol and certain supplements that may increase the risk of bruising. Only discontinue medications such as aspirin if it has been discussed with your healthcare provider and deemed safe to do so. After your injections, you’ll receive written post-care instructions outlining how to care for the treated area, what to expect as your results develop, and when to return for follow-up if needed.
Avoiding Counterfeit or Misused Products
Unfortunately, counterfeit injectables do exist. At Dr. Jenny Skincare, all products are sourced directly from Health Canada approved distributors. All products are documented with product used, lot number and expiry. We believe in transparency, traceability, and patient safety every time.
