Botox

Botox is a purified protein derived from Clostridium botulinum, commonly referred to as botulinum toxin.
It works by temporarily inhibiting muscle contractions, which provides a wide range of aesthetic and therapeutic benefits, such as smoothing fine lines and relaxing targeted muscles.

What is Botox?

Botulinum toxin has the ability to inhibit the release of acetylcholine, which is involved in muscle movement and sweat secretion; due to this effect, it is used to improve facial wrinkles and hyperhidrosis, as well as for localized slimming and lifting treatments.

The effects of Botox injections vary depending on the treatment site and the individual, but generally, the treatment effect appears within 1 to 2 weeks after injection, lasts for about 3 to 6 months, and then gradually returns to its original state. By continuously repeating the treatment, you can experience even greater results.

Botox features and effects

  • Improve facial wrinkles
    By injecting subcutaneously or intramuscularly into wrinkled areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, corners of the eyes, under the chin (mentalis), and the back of the neck, the muscles causing the wrinkles can be immobilized.
    If left untreated for many years, wrinkles will gradually deepen.
    Maintain a youthful appearance through continuous treatment before the wrinkles on your face become deeper.
  • Jawline (Masseter), Small Face
    There is a relatively strong and large muscle in the face called the masseter muscle, located in the cheek area. People with well-developed muscles often have a square-shaped face. Additionally, the masseter is the muscle used for chewing; if it is too strong, it can lead to teeth grinding during sleep. By injecting Botox into the masseter muscle, the size of the developed muscle can be reduced, thereby thinning the face and eliminating teeth grinding.
  • Improving underarm sweating, treating underarm odor
    Botox uses botulinum toxin to block nerves, which can also reduce sweating. By injecting into the underarms and various areas prone to sweating, underarm irritation can be treated and perspiration stopped.
    *Insurance may apply to hyperhidrosis.
