The Basics of Botox
BY DAYDREAMS SPA
“Getting work done” is no longer the taboo secret it once was. A huge benefit to injectables is that they offer instant results, unlike surgery, which can require significant time for healing. They are also relatively painless and carry a low risk of infection or complications.
We can’t think of anything more exciting than self-improvement, which is why we are going to fill you in on the joy of injectables. If you’ve ever considered any type of injection, it’s always a good idea to fully understand the science behind the needle, in not so geeky science terms.
WHAT IS BOTOX, REALLY? Let’s see a show of hands if you know what Botox is, not just the basics – about treating wrinkles and migraines – there is so much more! Together – Botox & Dysport – are called neuromodulators, as they are a naturally occurring neurotoxic protein produced by Clostridium botulimun bacterium – yes that’s what we said. While it is a sort of poison, the botulimun is used by our very own, RN Nurse Practitionner. They are delivered in a podwer form, and then diluted in house, so it becomes less ‘poison’ and more powerful therapeutic and wrinkle busting superhero.

HOW DOES BOTOX WORK? You came to the right place, and we are happy to tell you! Once the correct amount is injected, it starts to prevent the release of neurotransmitter acetylcholine from axon endings at the neuromuscular junction, causing flaccid paralysis. What? In other words, it blocks the communication between the brain, nerve and muscle. As a bonus, since the ‘freezing’ ability eventually dissipates, you and your nurse practitioner can regularly re-evaluate which dosage can provide the best result for you.
WHY SHOULD YOU CARE? We operate on the mantra of managing expectations. It’s your body, and you will need it for a long time to come. Your are your best advocate when it comes to your health, and it pays to be fully informed – and that is why we are here to help you and guide you to make the best choices for you. When it comes to injectables, that is. While we are on that subject, it is also important to never allow anyone – anyone – other than an experienced licenced professional inject you. We are stringent on the safety of injectables and the satisfaction of our clients. Whether you are looking to treat your fine lines and wrinkles, slow down the aging process, or simply want to feel better and look refreshed, we encourage you to consider injectables as well as other treatments, as so many of our patients have.
THE ESTHETICS EXPERTS

HEATHER DAY
If there’s one thing to know about Brandon entrepreneur Heather Day, it’s when she sets out to do something, she makes it a reality. In 2010, she opened Brandon’s largest salon, with 20 hair stylists, nail technicians and estheticians. In 2015, she opened H & Co Academy Hair & Nails. With education and training being top priority, she moved forward opening Western Manitoba’s first Esthetics Academy. Changing locations after the first year to accommodate the number of requests for students wanting to enroll in the program. H & Co Academy Esthetics is located on the lower level of Daydreams Esthetics Spa. Daydreams Esthetics Spa and H & Co Academy Esthetics are one facility with a whole approach to education and training. For one year, the H & Co students will complete double the amount of time on the clinic floor, which will ensure success after they graduate.
H & Co Academy has become Manitoba’s only Accredited Advanced Esthetics Program. This all inclusive program allows students to learn all the basics plus the latest techniques including medical esthetics, IPL hair removal, photo facials, hydra facials, dermaplaning and more. This sets them apart from all graduates of other provincial programs.
The program has proved to be a valuable commodity in the esthetics industry all over Western Canada. Their students are sought after by all the top spas and Medi facilities due to the curriculum, experience and knowledge they have gained from the program. They are producing incredible students. “Our students include university graduates with degrees in nursing and business program, and range in age from 18-55,” said Heather proudly. March 2021 will be the first year the Esthetics program will have a spring intake for enrolments.
With Daydreams Spa adding on Medical Esthetics and registered massage therapy to the menu earlier this year, they take pride in servicing the budget minded clients as well. This part of the Daydreams business model, is to have a beautiful facility with the most affordable, quality treatments. They guarantee that you will get the best service and value.
“The facility has been very successful because of the Dream Team,” explains Heather. The management team includes Jill Lenton, Directory of Education and Training. Jill is the esthetics educator as well as the face behind the scenes and credited for creating the curriculum
THE DAYDREAM SPA TEAM
and advanced program development. Lindsay Day is Director of Sales and Service, and a customer favorite at Daydreams. She also works in HR and is known as the “ray of sunshine” at the spa. The clients ask for her by name. “The spa would not be the same without her,” said Heather. The whole team at Daydreams are advanced estheticians, also trained in medical esthetics.
2020 has been a challenge for all businesses, but in the personal services industry, they waited longer than most to reopen and have business back in order. The management team was outstanding during this time. Jill worked with students, continuing the theory portion
through Zoom so they did not miss a beat. Lindsay ran the Boutique, filling client requests for products and delivered right to their door. This gave them time to revamp the Advanced Esthetics program to become a hybrid model so that they were able to accommodate all the COVID-19 restrictions.
With time on their side, Heather decided this was the perfect time to develop Daydreams Online Beauty Boutique. Shelby Mymko, founder of Stay Weird Designs, made this project come to light with ease. She has since become an integral part, and welcome addition of the Dream Team. All of your favorite products can be delivered to your door with the click of a button. They are exited to introduce a new Medi Team – that consists of nurse practitioners Kali Peterson and Syndey Caux, adding an exciting line up of Medi services that include injectables, and PRP and PRF therapy. This has been a challenging year, however with their amazing team, they are creating new opportunities.
JILL LENTON AND THE ESTHETICS CLASS OF 2020
They are proud to say their clients have been so loyal and will be there for all your beauty needs for years to come. There is something special at the heart of everything they do at Daydreams Spa and Academy – stop in and see for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.
