Botulinum Injection

Btox treatment is typically known for its ability in reducing facial wrinkles and is one of the most common non-surgical aesthetic

There are actually many other things Botulinum (Btox) injection can do:

1. Reduce wrinkles and lines (face & neck)
2. Soften jawline and chin
3. Lift face & lips
4. Control underarm sweating

Reduce wrinkles and lines (Face & neck)

Wrinkles and lines occur as part of the natural aging process. Repeated facial expressions such as smiling, laughing or frowning can cause the wrinkles to be more prominent.

Crow’s feet (at the corner of the eyes, frown lines, ‘11’ lines (the lines between the brows) are some of the common wrinkles. Horizontal lines around the neck (a.k.a. neck wrinkles) can happen when our skin starts to sag due to the loss of elasticity and collagen.

Btox injection helps to smoothen wrinkles and to prevent new wrinkles from forming.

Soften jawline and chin

Some people tend to have square face or wider face due to bigger masseter muscle (chewing muscles).

Btox can be injected into the area to shrink and relax the muscle, hence narrowing the jawline and creating a slimming effect on the face.

Lift face & lips

With correct technique and amount of Btox injected at the treatment area, it helps to pull the skin up and shape the facial feature for a contoured, defined effect. It can also create smooth, voluminous, youthful-looking effects on the face such as forehead, nose, jaw and lips.

Tiny amount of Btox can be injected along the border in order to lift and roll the top lift out slightly to create plumper effect.

Control underarm sweat

People who always experience excessive underarm sweating may have a condition called axillary hyperhidrosis.

Botox can be used to treat the overactive sweat glands by blocking the neurotransmitters that stimulates sweat glands. Results show an 82-27% decrease in sweating. Repeated treatment is safe and effective and results lasts for 4-6 months.
