Botox

What is Botox?

Botox, or botulinum toxin, is an injectable treatment that is primarily targeted to treat wrinkles, fine lines and creases on the face. It can also be used as a non-permanent facial contouring treatment to slim down your profile. Botox is more widely known as an effective anti-aging product for improving the appearance of your skin. Botox is able to treat signs of advanced aging as it promotes collagen production and skin elasticity. In Singapore, Botox is used to temporarily give patients a younger and tighter look.

How does it work?

Botox is used as a treatment in Singapore to relax your muscles that are causing your wrinkles as a result of aging or genetics. It works by blocking off signals from the nerves that cause your facial muscles to contract. This helps the skin to look smoother and unwrinkled. Facial wrinkles that can be treated with Botox are usually located in the forehead or the eye area (e.g. crow’s feet). Wrinkles gained from exposure to the sun cannot be treated with Botox

Botox can also be used for giving the jaw a slimmer and more youthful appearance such as Botox to the area (masseter muscle). This is what gives patients a more V-shaped look for those with a naturally square jaw who want to have a non-surgical option to alter their profile.

What conditions can Botox treat?

Botox in Singapore is designed to treat skin problems such as wrinkles, fine lines and creases. This makes it suitable for patients across a wide range of ages and skin types.

It is also a fine alternative for those who cannot undergo laser therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What results can I expect from Botox?
After 7 to 10 days, the full effects of Botox treatments can be seen. By then, patients who have mild to moderate wrinkles or fine lines may notice that their skin looks smooth and much younger.
How many treatments do I need?
Botox is generally considered to be a safe treatment. It is a non-surgical and minimally-invasive method for skin rejuvenation and all your anti-aging needs. However, patients who are pregnant may not be suitable for Botoxs as there may be some complications involving the developing fetus. Those with muscle or nerve disorders such as myasthenia gravis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) should also consult your family doctor before considering Botox treatment.
Is Botox safe?
The number of treatments will depend on the patient’s needs. Those who wish to maintain their skin’s rejuvenated look can opt for another session of Botox after 3 to 4 months from the first treatment depending on the treatment plan you and your dermatologist have formulated.

Generally, patients will undergo a maintenance treatment whenever needed or 2 to 6 sessions per year. Those using Botox as a preventive measure (“baby Botox”) for aging may want to undergo Botox every 12 weeks to ensure that wrinkles, fine lines and creases do not start to appear on your skin.
Is Botox painful?
Botox is not considered to be painful. It typically involves a quick and simple injection to a localized area to help the muscles absorb the product completely.
Does Botox have any downtime?
Botox does not require any downtime. This means you will be able to resume normal activities right after the treatment.
