What Is Neurotoxin (Botox)?

Neurotoxin (Botox) is a pure form of botulinum toxin type A. The botulinum toxin is derived from bacteria Clostridium botulinum. The purified and diluted form of botox is used by trained professionals for medical and aesthetic procedures.

This treatment reduces the occurrence of facial wrinkles and fine lines. However, it can be utilised to address other conditions such as muscle spasms, migraines, excess sweating (hyperhidrosis), and certain neurological disorganisations.

What Is Neurotoxin (Botox) Effective For?

WRINKLES AND FINE LINES

Neurotoxin (Botox) is used to soften the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines around the facial areas. It is used to treat dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movements, such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet.

HYPERHIDROSIS

It has been discovered that Neurotoxin (Botox) is beneficial in treating hyperhidrosis, a condition that causes profuse sweating. The botox is typically administered on the feet.

CROW’S FEET

Neurotoxin (Botox) injections around the eyes can help reduce the appearance of crow’s feet, which are wrinkles that form at the corners of the eyes.

FOREHEAD LINES

Neurotoxin (Botox) is commonly used to smooth horizontal lines on the forehead caused by repetitive muscle contractions.

GLABELLAR LINES

Glabellar lines, often referred to as “11 lines” or frown lines between the eyebrows, can be effectively treated with Botox. The Neurotoxin relaxes the muscles responsible for creating these lines.

MIGRAINE

Neurotoxin (Botox) is an FDA-approved treatment for chronic migraines in adults. It is administered as a series of injections around the head and neck to reduce the frequency and severity of migraines.

TEETH GRINDING/JAW CLENCHING

Botox helps prevent the excessive grinding and clenching of teeth by reducing the activity of masseter muscles. This can alleviate the symptoms associated with bruxism, such as jaw pain, headaches, and tooth damage.

HOW DOES NEUROTOXIN (BOTOX) WORK?

Neurotoxin (Botox) works by temporarily impairing nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected. It inhibits acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is crucial to provide signals between the cells and muscles. This causes Botox to create a brief paralysis or relaxation of the targeted muscles by interfering with this signalling pathway.

Dynamic wrinkles, which occur due to repeated muscular movements, are frequently treated with neurotoxins, or Botox, in cosmetic applications. The injection helps minimise wrinkles and fine lines on the skin’s surface by relaxing the underlying muscles. Moreover, it is used for a number of medical conditions, including hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), migraines, muscle spasms, and overactive bladder.

WHAT IS NEUROTOXIN (BOTOX) EFFECTIVE FOR?

Neurotoxin (Botox) offers several cosmetic and health benefits. Here are several reasons why individuals may benefit from this treatment:

WRINKLE REDUCTION

Neurotoxin (Botox) is used to minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially those resulting from repetitive muscle movements, otherwise known as dynamic wrinkles. This also includes forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines.

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES

Some individuals choose to use Neurotoxin (Botox) preventatively to minimise the development of new wrinkles. By temporarily relaxing muscles, it can help prevent the formation of lines caused by facial expressions.

QUICK AND CONVENIENT

Neurotoxin (Botox) procedures are typically quick, often ttaking just a few minutes, making it suitable for those with a busy lifestyle.

VERSATILITY

Neurotoxin (Botox) is versatile and can be used to address various areas of the face, including the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. It can also be used for other cosmetic and medical purposes.

NATURAL RESULTS

Our doctor will administer the treatment accordingly to provide natural-looking results. The goal is often to achieve a refreshed appearance without a frozen or unnatural look.

ADJUNCT TO OTHER TREATMENT

Neurotoxin (Botox) can be used in conjunction with other cosmetic treatments, such as dermal fillers, for a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation.

MESOBOTOX

Mesobotox, also known as Micro-Botox or Intradermal Botox, is a procedure that involves injecting small doses of botulinum toxin (commonly Botox) into the superficial layers of the skin. Unlike traditional Botox injections that target deeper muscles to reduce wrinkles, Mesobotox is intended to improve skin texture, reduce skin oiliness, reduce pore size, and provide an overall rejuvenating effect on the skin.

What are the different types of Neurotoxin (BOTOX) in Singapore?

All three of these neurotoxins (BOTOX, DYSPORT & XEOMIN) are great for dynamic lines that are caused by movements such as: crinkling your eyes, raising your eyebrows, dimpling your chin, or smiling. When we move our facial muscles, fine lines and wrinkles appear as a result.

While all three neurotoxins are similar in their makeup and function, they have slight differences. The formulation of Xeomin differs slightly from the others as it contains no additives and varies slightly in the appearance of results. The effects of Botox spread three to five days after treatment when the full effects are seen. Xeomin can take even longer, with full results in roughly five to seven days. Dysport, or abobotulinumtoxin A, is the option where results in the target areas will be seen most rapidly, with visible results within one to two days after treatment.

Xeomin and Dysport treatment also have greater diffusion than Botox, which allows them to reduce the appearance of wrinkles over a larger area. Botox is much more targeted and one of the most effective treatments for severe wrinkles in the forehead and glabellar lines.

  I had my HIFU + MFU + RF treatment at Glowwis Aesthetic for the first time. I was scared it would be painful but surprisingly the pain was very minimal. The therapist applied my treatment area with numbing cream before the treatment. After one session, my sagging skin on my chin felt tighter. My neck and cheeks were firmer. I had some redness, but it disappeared after next morning after I woke up (Which is about 16 hours after treatment). Dr. Sam and team did an amazing job. Not to mention the patience and the professionalism of Dr. Sam. No hard selling.  see you soon again!

  I trust Glowwis Aesthetic, especially Dr. Sam for my Juvelook collagen booster. I had my second treatment recently. One month after the first treatment I witnessed improvement in skin firmness, pores and fine wrinkles. During the first consultation, Dr. Sam advised on the best collagen skin booster for my skin concerns after assessing the skin. He took quite a while to address all my concerns and answer my questions which I appreciate, as I have previously experienced doctors rushing through the consultation.
The first treatment of Juvelook was kind of painful but was bearable to me. The second treatment was only a little bit painful; I think my skin got used to it. I recommend Dr. Sam for Juvelook injection. No Hard selling. The staff was helpful & friendly. Thanks.

  I had acne breakouts very often in my teenage years, so I had some acne scars on my both cheeks.

Went for my appointment and met Dr. Sam at Glowwis Aesthetic couple of months ago for acne scar removal treatments.

He had a customised treatment plan for my acne scars consists of microneedle RF, Subcision and collagen boosters. I had to go through few sessions of treatments, and OMG! My acne scars started to flatten and lighten even before I finish my treatments! SO happy!!!

Worth every penny!

The staff didn’t try to hard sell but only what I needed. Highly recommended 😀

  I did HIFU 3 in one treatment (HIFU + MFU + RF). There was a Dr. Consultation session before the treatment, and I felt very comfortable with Dr. Sam as he was listening to all my concerns attentively and educated me about the HIFU treatment in detail.

There was numbing cream applied before the treatment and the pain during the treatment was bearable to me. There was an immediate lifting on my face after the HIFU 3 in one treatment and I am happy with my experience at Glowwis.

Finally, I would also like to mention the staff who were very helpful and understanding.

  I have visited this clinic at Capitol Mall in City Hall for their HIFU 3 in one treatment. I would rate the service of Dr. Sam and the staff high, because they all were helpful and taken good care of me during the time I was at Glowwis.

I realised that Dr. Sam is a very knowledgeable practitioner and I learnt how he generates noticeable results by customised techniques in placing HIFU shots on to different areas of the face and neck. The pain was tolerable during the procedure and MFU + RF had a zero-pain level. The staff applied numbing cream and waited for some time before the procedure.

There was mild redness after the procedure and was back to normal by the time I woke up the next morning. A mild soreness lasted for about a day also.

Highly Recommend Dr. Sam for HIFU treatment.

  Was searching for aesthetic treatment for my freckles and found Dr Sam whose super skillful and detailed! it's my first time trying Curas laser and my second time trying Pico laser. The whole process from the detail skin analysis and the recommendation of the treatment was a breeze! Dr Sam assured me that my condition has no downtime which was lucky for me! The pain is nil to minimal for these treatments and I feel safe under Dr Sam's care. Love that there's zero hard sell which make the experience so much better.

  This was my very first time to an aesthetic clinic. I was first greeted by very friendly and cheerful staff when I entered the clinic. Dr Sam attended to me and I must say I’m so pleased with the whole experience! He rightfully pointed out my key areas of concern, and was very patient in explaining in detail the options available for me to treat those concerns I have. I was always hesitant about visiting aesthetic clinics as I have the impression that aesthetic clinics are all about hard selling but I was proven wrong here. Dr Sam presented me the available options I have and asked for me to think through before deciding.

After careful consideration, I decided to go for all 3 laser treatments available (Pico laser, Q switch laser and CO2 laser) to tackle the pigmentation and dullness on my skin. The treatment process was absolutely pleasant - I was pretty nervous that the laser treatments would hurt but thankfully, Dr Sam was really skillful and professional that it didn’t even hurt a bit nor cause any discomfort. The initial results were pretty assuring - minimal redness and no swelling. I’m looking forward to witness the final results a couple of days later!
