The costs of the procedure usually starts from $15/unit and varies between Aesthetic clinics.

The 3 popular brands of Botulinum Toxin are Dysport, Xeomin & Botox. While all brands perform the same job,  there are some small variation in characteristics.

The biggest distinction is how the Botulinum Toxin spreads. All 3 brands are HSA (Health Science Authority) licensed, Botox and Dysport are more popular primarily due to longer track records.

When it comes to injectable procedures, there are always certain risks involved. As different people reacts differently to Botox, in general most patients do not experience any side effects.

There are the rare few patients who will experience drooping of muscles (eyelids or eye brows) after the treatment, however the effects last only temporarily until the Botulinum Toxin wears off.

Common side effect such as bleeding around the injection sites, headache, flu-like symptoms and local pain may occur after the treatment. Do make sure to call your licensed medical practitioner for advise.

Botox has been in the market for over 15 years. Other than fine lines & wrinkles, it is used to treat a wide range of medical conditions. The Botox brands used in Bio Aesthetic Laser Clinic are all FDA and HSA approved (do not use any Botox that are not HSA approved – ensure you check with the Doctor what brands are used).

The safety record of Botox is wide spread to 75 countries and used by millions of doctors worldwide. Botox has a remarkably good safety track record.

After the Botox treatment, you can see noticeable results immediately, however the full effects will take approximately 2 weeks.

In the hands of an experienced doctor, results can be subtle without an obvious difference. There is only a slight discomfort during the injection, however Botox treatment has no downtime and considered a very safe treatment.

Generally, there are 4 factors when considering the price of Botox. The factors are:

1. Treatment Area (Treatment area will determine how many units are required to be injected)
2. Brand of Botox used (Different Botox brands have different costs)
3. Experience of Doctor (You may be charged a small premium due to the expertise of the Doctor)
4. “Overheads” of Clinic (Higher rental & costs will require the clinic to charge more)

At Bio Aesthetic Laser, our prices are inclusive of a complimentary touch up after the 1 week review if the 1st injection is not enough. Our clinic’s practice is not to over do the treatment (especially for botox), so Dr will inject his recommended dosage based on the client’s needs first and then review after a week to see if more is required.

Botox is injected into the muscles or skin in very minimal portions.

The Botulinum Toxin disables signals from nerve cells to the muscles. As a result, it weakens the muscles responsible for fine line & wrinkles.

We do not recommend Botox during pregnancy for precautions. There are a lack of information on the treatment effects towards the fetus.

For injectables (including fillers & Botox), we do not treat any patients under 18. There are a wide range of treatments that are suitable for minors. Consult or team of aestheticians & doctor for your skin type.

Individual tolerance for pain differs. Generally

Botox injections is a quick prick with a slight sensation lasting a few seconds.

Anaesthetic is readily available if required.

It is advisable to avoid any vigorous physical activity or large consumption of alcohol 24 hours before the treatment. This is to ensure a lower risk of bruising.

Advisable not to take any Aspirin & Vitamin E one week before Botox treatment

In general, face fillers are gels injected into the face to replace loss of volume due to aging and sun damage. Botox is more focused on wrinkles and fine lines. It is essentially a neurotoxin that to treat wrinkles like frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead lines and bunny lines.
