Botulinum Toxin

Using botulinum toxin, we can effectively block nerve signals to relax over-tightened or contracted muscles, thereby reducing dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions and helping to prevent static wrinkles. It can also improve common problems in Asians such as muscle hypertrophy, such as overdeveloped facial chewing muscles, and has a slimming effect on the face and calf contouring. In addition, injecting botulinum toxin into multiple sweat glands, such as the skin under the armpits, can also reduce sweating.

What is Botulinum Toxin?

Botulinum Toxin, also known as Botulinum Toxin Injections or Botox (Brand name), is a kind of neurotoxin caused by the Clostridium botulinum bacteria. Botulinum Toxin is widely used in the beauty field to treat facial wrinkles and a general improvement in facial appearance.Botulinum Toxins are usually applied through injections. It targets facial muscles and temporarily suppresses their contractions, which reduces the wrinkles and fine lines on the skin surface. This type of treatment is usually used to reduce forehead lines, crow’s feet, eyebrow wrinkles, and marionette lines.

The injection of Botulinum Toxins is usually quick, safe, and does not have a recovery period. The effects typically last 3-6 months, depending on the client’s physical characteristics and injection area.
