Botox, short for Botulinum Toxin, is an injectable neuromodulator that relaxes nerve-muscle imbalance, which improves the appearance of wrinkles, creating a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
How Does Botox Work?
Botox works by blocking signals between the nerves and the muscles, which weakens the muscles and stops it from contracting, causing the overlying skin to relax and soften. When the muscles are relaxed, facial expression lines and wrinkles will be significantly improved.
Areas That Botox Can Treat
In addition to smoothing wrinkles, Botox can also be used to slim and contour the face and treat the following skin concerns:
V-Line Jaw Slimming

What Can You Expect During The Procedure?
Our doctors will conduct an in-depth consultation with you to discuss your desired results and the areas to focus on prior to the treatment. Before starting on the procedure, the treatment area will be cleaned and disinfected before a numbing cream is applied and left on to settle. The doctor will inject small volume of Botox under the skin and into the muscle with an ultra-fine needle. This will typically take 15-20 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.

FAQ On Botox
Is It Painful?
Botox is injected into the muscles using a very fine needle; hence the treatment is quick and well tolerated. Numbing cream will also be applied on the treatment areas to reduce discomfort.
How Often Do I Need To Get The Treatment Done?
It is recommended to get a treatment done once every 12-16 weeks for maintenance.
Is There Any Side Effect Or Downtime?
The injection sites may appear slightly red, swelling, or mild bruising right after the treatment, however, it resolves in a few hours. Patients should avoid massaging the area after the procedure to avoid unwanted migration of the product to other areas of the face.
How Long Does Botox Last?
The longevity of the treatment depends on the area of the treatment. Results for Botox to treat wrinkles and fine lines last between 3-6 months and it usually takes longer for jaw remodelling results to take effect. After receiving multiple Botox treatments, the treated muscles have already been trained to relax and patients will notice that the effects last even longer than before.
