What is Botox?
Botox
Botox is a brand name for the protein known as botulinum toxin, which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. In 1989, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initially gave Botox approval to address issues with the eye muscles. In addition to treating hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) under the arms, it is also frequently used to reduce forehead wrinkles and lines around the eyes.
When botulinum toxin is administered in modest doses, it might temporarily weaken or paralyze certain muscles which can:
> Reduce Wrinkles & Fine Lines
> Body Contouring – Reduce calf muscles
> Reduce Jaw Size & Teeth Grinding (bruxism)
There are many misconception that too much injection will give off the “plastic” appearance. However, choosing a doctor with the right skills & experience will leave your face with natural looking results. This versatile treatment offers a natural enhancement with no surgery and downtime.
Commonly used to treat aging issues
How does Botox Injection work?
Botox (Clostridium botulinum) functions by decreasing the activity of facial muscles. This is how Botox procedures treat existing wrinkles and prevent the formation of future wrinkles.
Wrinkles & fine lines are a natural occurrence during the aging process. The lack of collagen coupled with the constant muscle movements (smiling & frowning), the lines will deepen and become more prominent over time.
When injected, the Botulinum toxins will block the signals transmitting between muscles & nerves. You will observe a visible smoothing of facial wrinkles such as glabellar lines, crow’s feet, wrinkles and fine lines, and forehead fine lines.
Botox injections can be used to treat medical conditions such as excessive sweating, jaw reduction for teeth grinding (jawline botox), and even to eliminate acne scars, in addition to frown lines and wrinkles.
At Bio Aesthetic Laser Clinic, we only use FDA approved Botulinum toxins brands.

Compare types of Botulinum Toxin
Dysport vs Botox vs Xeomin
The 3 Botulinum Toxin brands (Dysport vs Botox vs Xeomin) all does the same job with slight differences. The difference mainly lies on how it spreads. Although all 3 brands are FDA approved, Botox and Dysport have longer safety track records.
>Dysport spreads better (More suitable for larger areas – Jaws & more even distribution)
>Botox is better for small corrections (More suitable to target wrinkles)
>Xeomin has the “purest” Botuinum Toxin (Our body will become less resistant to Xeomin)
The price of Dysport is cheaper compared to the other two brands. You will tend to see faster results with Dysport (1 – 2 days) while Botox and Xeomin will take 2 – 3 days.

What other conditions can Botox treat?
Remove Lines & Wrinkles: Botox can relax the muscles that are responsible for wrinkles. Repeated contractions occurs when you frown & smile, causing lines to appear on forehead & eyes. The weakening of the muscle will minimize the contractions allowing tightening of skin.

What is Botox?
Botox is a muscle relaxing drug that primarily used to reduce wrinkles temporarily (usually up to 4-6 months). Botox is a protein derived from Botulinum toxin. It is a neurotoxin which disrupts nerve signalling processes to stimulate muscle contraction.
In order for any muscle to contract, the nerves release a chemical messenger called acetylcholine. Botulinum toxin injections prevent the release of this messenger, which stops the muscle cells from contracting.
Botox can be injected to several parts of the face to eliminate wrinkles & fine lines. Parts of the face includes:

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. To find out the different 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.

Generally, there are 4 factors when considering the price of Botox. The factors are:
- Treatment Area (Treatment area will determine how many units are required to be injected)
- Brand of Botox used (Different Botox brands have different costs)
- Experience of Doctor (You may be charged a small premium due to the expertise of the Doctor)
- “Overheads” of Clinic (Higher rental & costs will require the clinic to charge more)

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.
