Commonly Asked
Botox is a purified botulinum toxin type A injectable that temporarily relaxes the small facial muscles responsible for expression lines, softening their appearance without affecting your ability to make natural expressions when dosed appropriately.
Beyond the upper face, Botox is commonly used for forehead lines, a gummy smile, jawline slimming (masseter reduction), and excessive underarm sweating. The suitable areas and dosage depend on your facial anatomy and goals.
Most patients feel only a brief pinch during injection, and there's typically no downtime, normal activities can usually resume immediately, aside from avoiding strenuous exercise or lying flat for a few hours.
Results typically begin to appear within three to five days and fully develop over about two weeks, lasting approximately three to four months on average. Repeat treatment is needed to maintain the effect.
Temporary bruising, mild headache or slight asymmetry can occur, and in rare cases the effect can spread beyond the intended area if not carefully administered. Choosing an experienced, doctor-led provider and disclosing your full medical history helps minimise these risks.
Dosage is based on your facial muscle strength, the area being treated and your desired outcome, often starting more conservatively for first-time patients. Your doctor will discuss expected results at this dose before proceeding.
We offer both FDA-approved Botox® and a KFDA-approved Korean-brand botulinum toxin, so your doctor can discuss which option suits your budget and preference. Both work through the same mechanism, and your doctor will explain any practical differences before you decide.
Yes, Botox and filler are often combined in the same visit since they address different concerns, muscle movement versus volume loss. Your doctor will sequence and plan this based on your specific treatment goals.
