Botulinum toxin or popularly known as Botox is used as a treatment to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines while retaining full facial expressions. Besides aesthetic benefits, Botox is also approved to treat other medical conditions like eye spasm, excess sweating and migraines.

 

How does Botox work?

The powder is diluted in saline, then administrated by direct injection into the neuromuscular tissue. As such, the muscle in one’s face relaxes and preventing any form of muscular contraction that may lead to frown lines or wrinkles.  Also, strategically targeting certain muscles helps to correct any imperfection in facial symmetry. The effect usually sets in 24-72 hours, sometimes even a week is needed for the full effects of Botox to be observed.

Botox is mostly used on forehead lines, crow’s feet (line around the eyes), frown lines. However, wrinkles or fine lines caused by sun-damaged or the natural aging process will not respond well to Botox.

 

V-shape treatment

It is common for Botox to be used by women even in their 20s due to over-developed jaw muscles (sometimes called square jaw).  Botox can reduce the size or one’s masseter or jaw muscles, slimming the jaw contours hence achieving a more V-shape look.

 

Micro-Botox

Also known as the intradermal Botox, Micro-Botox is the use of diluted Botox is in small, superficial microinjections. This technique targets enlarged pores, fine muscle attachments in the skin, sweat and oil glands. As such this procedure is suitable for anyone who wants to improve the appearance of large pores, fine lines and diminish oily skin. Micro-Botox can help to regulate sebum production in the skin, achieving smooth and firm skin.
