BOTULINUM TOXIN

Botox Fillers

Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein that temporarily reduces muscle activity. When administered in small, controlled doses by a qualified medical professional, it can help soften dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions. The different forms of purified botulinum toxin A include:

  • BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA) by Allergan
  • Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA) by Galderma
  • Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA) by Merz

How Does It Work?

Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks nerve signals to specific muscles, reducing excessive contractions. This results in diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Effects typically become visible within 3-7 days and may last 3-6 months. Treatments can be repeated as needed after effects diminish.

INDICATIONS:

Common Treatment Areas for Botulinum Toxin

Upper Face & Eye Region

  • Forehead Creases – Horizontal lines caused by repetitive eyebrow movement
  • Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines) – Vertical “11” lines between eyebrows resulting from squinting or concentration
  • Crow’s Feet – Fan-shaped wrinkles at the outer eye corners from smiling or sun exposure
  • Infraorbital Rhytides – Fine wrinkles under the eyes 
  • Eyebrow Lift – Subtle elevation of brows by strategic placement (lateral brow lift)

Nasal Area

Jaw & Neck

  • Masseteric Hypertrophy – Jaw slimming for square jawline reduction
  • Vertical Neck Bands (Platysmal Bands) – Prominent neck cords from muscle activity
  • Teeth Grinding (bruxism) – Decreases masseter muscle force to protect teeth from wear

Skin quality

Therapeutic Applications

  • Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating) – For underarms, palms, or soles

Due to significant variations in muscle shape and function among individuals, personalised treatment is essential for optimal cosmetic outcomes. Treatment strategies should consider:

  • Muscle mass and morphology
  • Patterns of muscular activity
  • Aesthetic harmony with overall facial structure

As an NSC-DSS Botulinum Toxin Certificate of Competency (COC) trainer, Dr Angeline Yong emphasises a customised approach, carefully adjusting dosages based on each patient’s unique muscular characteristics.
