Faces Aesthetics Alliston is the only physician-only injectables clinic in Alliston, Ontario. Dr. Fatima Mahdi is an emergency physician and the sole injector here. We offer Botox and dermal filler, nothing else. Two treatments, done carefully, by a doctor who takes the work seriously.
Two Treatments. Done Right.
Mastery beats breadth.
Botox & Neuromodulators
Relax the muscles that create dynamic lines. Forehead, frown lines (the "11s"), crow's feet. Slim the jaw with masseter Botox, lift the brow, calm a gummy smile, or stop excessive underarm sweating.
Results begin in 3-5 days, peak at 14 days, and last 3-4 months.
Dermal Fillers
Restore lost volume. Sculpt cheeks, chin, and jawline. Refine lip shape. Smooth nasolabial folds. Every filler we use is hyaluronic acid, reversible, adjustable, long-lasting.
Results are visible immediately, final at 2 weeks, and last 6-18 months.
Your injector, your physician
Dr. Fatima Mahdi, MD
An emergency physician who treats aesthetics like medicine. Years of anatomy, pharmacology, and complication management, brought to every injection, with the judgment to know when the honest answer is "less," or "not yet."
Registered with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO #115421).
Why a physician?
Why see a physician instead of a nurse injector?
You can get Botox from a nurse, an aesthetician, or a dentist, Ontario law permits it. So why choose an MD?
Deeper anatomical training. Medical school and residency are years of anatomy, pharmacology, and complication management. A physician doesn't just know where to inject, they know what sits underneath and what to do if something goes wrong.
Independent medical authority. Nurses and aestheticians work under a physician's medical directive. Dr. Mahdi makes her own clinical decisions, declines inappropriate treatment, and has prescribing authority if complications arise.
Emergency-room experience. Rare Botox and filler complications need fast, competent response. Recognizing and managing medical emergencies is Dr. Mahdi's day job.
Patient reviews
What patients say
A few words from patients treated by Dr. Mahdi, straight from our Google reviews.
★★★★★
Dr Mahdi was very thorough and gentle. She was very detailed in explaining what she was doing and did not push me to do more than I wanted. Her being a physician definitely makes it more comfortable as she knows much more than your average injector. My results are amazing and it's close to home. Thank you! Will definitely be back.
★★★★★
I went to see Dr. Fatima to get Botox for my forehead/crows feet and after our consultation she came up with the perfect plan for exactly what I was looking for! She suggested the perfect amount that I needed and I'm very happy with my results. She was quick, gentle and so pleasant to be around! Her space is extremely welcoming and I can't wait to go back for future appointments and to try out her other treatments.
★★★★★
I recently had the pleasure of receiving filler injections from Dr. Fatima, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results! Dr. Fatima's expertise and gentle approach immediately put me at ease. Her attention to detail and commitment to achieving natural-looking results truly sets her apart. Not only do I look younger, but I also feel more confident. I highly recommend Dr. Fatima to anyone seeking a skilled and caring professional for aesthetic treatments.
The best aesthetic work is the work nobody notices. People should see you looking rested, not that you've had something done.
How booking works
Every treatment starts with a consultation.
Injectables are medicine, not retail. Before Dr. Mahdi treats you, she needs to understand your goals, your medical history, your timing, and whether you're a candidate at all, so you book a consultation first, not a treatment slot.
Call 613-869-3269 to choose a time, it takes about a minute. At that consultation you talk through what you're considering and get an honest assessment and quote. If you're a candidate and decide to go ahead, treatment can usually happen the same visit. If it isn't the right fit, we'll tell you.

Faces Aesthetics is a physician-led Botox and filler clinic, not a dermatology practice. How to actually see a dermatologist in Ontario, and when a cosmetic MD is the right call.
Lip Flip vs. Lip Filler: Which Should You Try First?
A lip flip uses a few units of Botox; lip filler adds volume with hyaluronic acid. An MD compares results, duration, downtime and cost to help you choose.
