Botox injection is a U.S. FDA and Singapore HSA approved treatment for fine lines and wrinkles, and is extremely effective at easing the over-contracted muscles that cause the skin surface to look old and stressed. This injection is widely used in facial enhancement, such as for:

• elimination of frown lines and forehead wrinkles
• unfolding crow’s feet (smile lines around the eyes)
• marionette lines (lines from corners of mouth to chin)
• bunny lines (nasal scrunch)
• excessive sweating (palm, armpit etc)
• facial contouring (square jaw)
• chemical brow lift
• hypertrophic orbicularis (prominent lower eyelid)
• perioral lines

Placed strategically by a skilled dermatologist, Botox injection can also gently lift the lower third of the face, the usual target of a surgical facelift. This treatment involves several small injections, which temporarily weakens the treated muscles so that the skin relaxes, and wrinkles and lines become less noticeable. Results can be seen in 5-10 days and last up to 4-6 months. When injected by a cosmetic dermatologist, it is an extremely safe and effective procedure. A dermatologist has years of training in the complex systems of facial muscles and nerves, and can impart a rejuvenated though natural look. This is a part of the new 20 minute facelift procedure.
