Anti-Wrinkle/Neurotoxin Injection

Botulinum Toxin is a highly purified natural protein derived from bacteria Clostridium Botulinum. Currently, there are quite a few types of Botulinum Toxin in use by dermatologists all over the world.

In Singapore, there are 4 types of Botulinum Toxin approved by HSA for clinical use – Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Neuronox.

Facial wrinkles like frown lines; crow’s feet are the unwanted results of our facial expressions over time. Injecting a small quantity of Botulinum Toxin protein into precise facial locations can relax the treated muscle and lead to a visible smoothing of your wrinkles over the next 4 to 5 days. The results are natural, real and noticeable. They last up to 4 or 5 months until the relaxation effects wear off.

With regular treatments, the wrinkles often appear less severe over time because the muscles are being relaxed and the overlying skin is well rested and not creased or wrinkled at all.

Here are some areas where Anti-Wrinkle Injection can be used:

The truth is that the pain is minimal and the needle used is a very fine needle. Most people compare the sensation of the injection to a mosquito bite. There is a slight pinching feeling but it only lasts for a few seconds.

No, that is not true. Your wrinkles will just revert back to their pre-treatment state and they won’t look any worse. You can do a self-test by having your photos taken of the treated area “before” your treatment, and then comparing them to photos taken once the Botulinum Toxin wears off. In fact, with regular treatments and extended period of muscle relaxation, the wrinkles often appear less severe over time. Even after discontinuing the treatment, the well- rested skin and wrinkles are often better than before your first treatment.

The frozen look was not uncommon in the past when doctors and patients alike were overzealous in their pursuit of wrinkle eradication. When the injection is properly carried out these days, you should be able to display the entire range of facial expressions including smiling and appearing surprised. It will give a very natural and satisfactory result in nearly 99% of the time. Most patients are happy and will always return for more treatment knowing that this treatment always works! Anti-Wrinkle Injection has been extremely popular through the years with more and more people using it to regain a youthful appearance. It can help to ease wrinkles around the eyes and forehead safely, quickly and with minimal pain.
