Botulinum Injection

Wrinkle Reduction in Singapore

Wrinkle reduction is performed using a prescription neurotoxin that is injected into specific facial muscles. This treatment helps reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet, by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles.

These neurotoxins work by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that triggers muscle contractions. When injected, the affected muscles become more relaxed, resulting in a smoother and more youthful skin appearance. This treatment is effective for dynamic wrinkles—lines that appear with facial expressions—but not for static wrinkles, which are visible even when the face is at rest. In such cases, a combination of neurotoxin and dermal fillers may be recommended.

Areas Commonly Treated:

• Forehead lines
• Glabellar (frown) lines
• Crow’s feet
• Bunny lines (nose creases)
• Lip lines
• Popply or dimpled chin
• Nasolabial folds
• Nose tilt or flare
• Overhanging eyebrows
• Enlarged pores

Botulinum Injection Technique for Facial Refinement

Beyond conventional wrinkle treatments, a refined technique involving multiple micro-injections may be used to target fine muscle activity beneath the skin. When applied to areas such as the jawline, this method can help soften pore appearance and reduce the downward pull of muscles in the lower face — resulting in a subtle, natural-looking lift along the cheeks and jaw.

This approach is typically considered for patients seeking to enhance skin texture, minimise visible pores, and achieve a more contoured facial profile — all without adding volume.

What to Expect After Wrinkle Reduction Injections

• Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites (typically resolve within a few days)
• Gradual onset of results, typically within 3–5 days, with full effect visible around 2 weeks
• Smoother skin appearance in the treated areas
• No significant downtime — most patients resume normal activities after treatment
• Results typically last 3–4 months, after which follow-up treatments may be considered to maintain effect

All treatments are performed by licensed medical practitioners following a thorough consultation. Suitability varies per individual.
