Botox or Botulinum toxin is a protein and neurotoxin produced by a bacteria known as Clostridium Botulinum. Botox treatment is a non-invasive method of injecting a protein into the tissues to relax and weaken the muscles that are responsible for the lines and wrinkles on your face. It is an effective anti-wrinkle treatment with high satisfaction rates in the aesthetics industry.

Moreover, Botox injection is also used for other purposes such as slimming the calves and treating hyperhidrosis on the area such as underarms.

Our affiliated clinic uses Botox Vista manufactured by Allergan Corporation. Allergan is a well-known brand in the medical as well as medical aesthetics industry. Botox Vista was approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in Japan and has been widely used in cosmetic medicine and anti-aging for over 25 years worldwide. It is a prescription medicine for adults that is injected into muscles and used temporarily to improve facial expressions by blocking signals from the nerves to relax the muscles.

An alternative formula available at our affiliated clinic is known as Regenox. The effect is similar to the conventional Botox, except this product is produced by a leading Korean manufacturer with an increase in purity. The product has been approved for export by KFDA (Korean Food and Drug Administration).

The results for Botox will be gradually noticeable a few days after the injection, the change stabilizes in 1 to 2 weeks and lasts for about 3 to 4 months. Hence, our affiliated clinic recommends receiving botox treatment 4 weeks before the schedules or events you have planned for.

In addition, a special award of 3 consecutive years has been received as being the No. 1 share in the world for Botox. Our affiliated clinic has made an excellent reputation for the beauty and natural finish results.

<For Wrinkles>
Facial wrinkles are caused by repeated facial movements such as speaking, laughing and crying. These expressions train the muscles and cause contraction, which will then form wrinkles. Botox is a type of protein extract that can weaken the action of the neurotransmitter called ‘acetylcholine’. When nerve transmission is blocked, muscles cannot be moved excessively, thus smoothing away and preventing wrinkles.

<For Masseter Muscle>
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. Botox can prevent bruxism by suppressing muscle movement, leading to the thinning of the muscle, and alleviating teeth grinding and headaches. Overtime, your face will have a softer contour and smaller size.

<For Gummy Smile>
Botox injection is also effective for the ones with gummy smile. The procedure helps to improve the appearance by reducing your muscles' ability to raise your upper lip to work when laughing or smiling. Repeated botox will cause the muscles to shrink and improve gummy smile reduction semi-permanently.

<For Hyperhidrosis>
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.

<For Calves Contouring>
When botox is injected into the calf muscle, the toxin can paralyze certain nerves and prevent the muscles from contracting fully. When the muscles relax, thinning of the muscles occurs since there is no movement. Overtime, this will slim down the calves.
