Botulinum toxin is highly versatile and can be used to treat various areas of the face. Common facial areas include the forehead, frown lines (glabellar lines), crow’s feet around the eyes, bunny lines on the nose, and masseter muscles for jaw slimming. Botox can also help improve sagging jowls by relaxing the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscles and the platysma muscles along the jawline, leading to a more lifted and defined lower face contour.
Beyond the face, Botox is effective for reducing excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in the underarms and palms, as well as for body contouring of the trapezius muscles and calves. During your consultation, our doctors will assess your concerns and recommend the most suitable treatment plan to achieve natural, balanced results.
Yes, Botox can effectively slim the jawline and treat bruxism (teeth grinding). Botox injections into the masseter muscles relax the overactive muscles, resulting in a softer, slimmer jawline. Additionally, by reducing the strength of muscle contractions, Botox can help alleviate jaw tension, headaches, and enamel wear associated with bruxism. Many patients appreciate the dual aesthetic and functional benefits of this treatment.
There is no "perfect" age to start Botox treatments, as it depends on individual needs. Some individuals begin in their late 20s or early 30s for preventive care, aiming to soften early dynamic lines before they deepen or for facial slimming concerns.Â
Others seek Botox treatments later to address existing wrinkles for anti-aging benefits. A personalised assessment with an experienced doctor ensures that the timing and approach are suited to your aesthetic goals.
Absolutely. Botulinum toxin treatments are increasingly popular among men who want a refreshed, younger-looking appearance while maintaining strong, masculine facial features. Botox can effectively soften frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet without feminising the face. At our clinic in Singapore, every treatment is tailored to suit the male facial structure and aesthetic goals, ensuring natural yet noticeable results.
Botox treatments involve minimal to no downtime. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately after their appointment. Some minor redness, swelling, or small bumps at the injection sites may occur but typically subside within a few hours. To ensure optimal results, we advise avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol consumption, and facial massages for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
We do not recommend undergoing Botox treatments during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Although there is no conclusive evidence showing harm, the safety of Botox in these situations has not been firmly established. As a precaution, we advise postponing aesthetic treatments until after you have completed your pregnancy and breastfeeding journey to prioritise both maternal and infant safety.
The cost of Botox treatments in Singapore varies based on the treatment area, dosage required, and the doctor’s experience. Botox treatments are typically priced either per unit or per area. During your consultation, we will provide a transparent and customised quote based on your specific needs. It is important to choose an experienced medically qualified doctor to ensure safe and effective outcomes, rather than making decisions based solely on price.
Most patients find Botox injections very tolerable. The procedure uses extremely fine needles, resulting in minimal discomfort often described as a light pinch or slight stinging sensation. To reduce discomfort, as well as minimise swelling and bruising, we can apply ice to the treatment area before each injection. Any sensation is brief, and most patients resume their normal activities immediately after their appointment.
To maintain optimal results, Botox treatments are usually repeated every 4 to 6 months. Over time, some patients may notice longer-lasting effects and may extend the interval between sessions.Â
Regular Botox treatments help keep the muscles relaxed, preventing deeper lines from forming and maintaining a refreshed, youthful appearance. During your follow-up consultations, we will tailor a schedule based on your individual response and goals.
