Botulinum Toxin A Injection

Botulinum Toxin is a purified protein that relaxes wrinkle-causing facial muscles, leaving the overlying skin smooth and unwrinkled. It is especially good for diminishing expression lines.

Botulinum Toxin treatment is a safe non-surgical procedure. The treatment takes about 5-10 minutes and is extremely well tolerated. The results will be visible after 5-10 days and usually lasts for 6 to 12 months.

Repeated injections can be done for continued effect. With repeated treatments, the effect can last longer and less frequent treatments may be required to maintain the result. Botulinum Toxin therapy may be combined with other cosmetic skin procedures such as chemical peels, non-ablative laser resurfacing and dermal fillers for optimal results, and to prevent new wrinkles from forming.

Botulinum Toxin is used in a wide range of conditions nowadays:

Excessive sweating (esp. underarms)

Frown Lines, Forehead lines

Crow's feet, eye wrinkles

Lip wrinkles

Neck wrinkles

Calf slimming

Jawline slimming

Whole face lifting/neck lift (Dermalift technique)

Side effects are minimal and usually associated to the local injection. Temporary soreness or mild bruising, while uncommon, may occur around the injection site. These can be easily covered with makeup. In very rare cases, patients may develop temporary drooping of eyelid. All these possible side effects are temporary, mild and completely reversible, and in most instances, do not significantly limit routine activities.

We only use products from reputable pharmaceutical companies (Botox®/Dysport®) to ensure you get the best out of your treatments.

The Dermalift Technique

Also known as‘Mesobotox’ or ‘mesodysport’, employs the use of a more diluted solution of botulinum toxin A injected into specific points around the face. The injections are placed into the more superficial layers of the skin instead of the traditional technique of injecting a more concentrated toxin solution directly into the muscles. The toxin solution is diffused into the surrounding structures evenly, causing collagen remodeling in the skin and slight to moderated relaxation of the muscles. The result is an immediate skin tightening and lifting effect, followed by a softening of facial lines.

Benefits of Dermalift:

		Whole face and eyes lift
		Face slimming

More about Botulinum Toxin Treatment

1.		Will I have the dreaded ‘frozen’ or expressionless face after the treatment?
		No, the frozen look is definitely not the desired effect. When the treatment is administered carefully and artfully, your face will appear refreshed and younger – and expressive.

2.		There are creams that claim to be ‘topical botox’, can I use them instead of having injections?
		Unfortunately not. For Botulinum toxin to work, it has to reach the muscle layer, which lies beneath the skin and the subcutaneous tissue. With topical creams and lotions, the ingredients merely pass through the dermal-epidermal junction at best, so it is impossible to affect the muscles
