Short for Botulinum Toxin, Botox is a purified protein which is able to block overactive nerve impulses that trigger excessive muscle contractions. When muscles relax, the wrinkles will stop forming. Commonly treated areas are the crow's feet, forehead furrows, frown lines and skin bands on the neck. You can use Botox effectively when you are bothered by any wrinkles on your face, as Botox is also used as a preventive measure against worse wrinkles. Our affiliated clinic also offers Botox for the treatment of Hyperhidrosis.

This treatment is ideal if you have bruxism, or teeth grinding in which you clench your teeth even when unconscious, which leads to frequent headaches and the wearing out of teeth. When teeth grinding occurs out of habit, the muscles around the jaw (masseter muscle) can expand, which makes your face look more square and bigger. And with botox injection, the muscles relax, and when the muscles are not used as actively as before, it would lead to the thinning of the muscle, alleviating teeth grinding and headaches. Overtime, your face will have a softer contour and smaller size.

If you experience excessive sweating that gets in the way of daily life, Botox injection can help. It is approved by the FDA to treat hyperhidrosis by blocking the neurotransmitter that activates the sweat glands. When your nerves can’t signal your sweat glands, you don’t sweat at the injected area.

1. The face will be examined by doctor to the determine the number of injections suitable per area.
2. Botox will be injected into facial muscles of desired areas of the face. Typically, 1 to 3 injections are given per muscle.
3. The injected muscles will begin to relax, gradually smoothing the overlaying skin.

Q1: How long will the effects of one Botox session last?
A1: Botox is temporary (the effects last 3 to 6 months). Clinical studies show that the duration of effect increases over time. Thus, you may require fewer injections to maintain the results.

Q2: Will it be painful?
A2: Since the needles used for Botox are small, the pain is usually minimal, if any. The area can also be numbed with anesthetic, so you don't have to worry.

Q3: Will my face look unnatural?
A3: To achieve your desired results, you should always share your expectations with the doctor prior to injection. The doctor will determine the injection area so that you'll get your dream younger appearance.

Q4: Can I get Botox injection while pregnant?
A4: Due to safety reasons, pregnant and nursing women are not recommended to undergo Botox injection.

Q5: How does Botox treat Hyperhidrosis?
A5: Botox has the ability to temporarily block the nerves responsible for activating your sweat glands. By blocking, or interrupting, this chemical messenger, you won't sweat at the injected area.
