What is Botox?
What is Botulinum Toxin?
Botulinum toxin type A is a prescription-only treatment that temporarily reduces the activity of targeted facial muscles.
This helps smooth dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet.
The treatment is also used medically for jaw clenching, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), and migraines.
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 misconceptions that too many botulinum toxin injections will give off a “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 or downtime.
Commonly used to treat aging issues
How does Botox injection work?
How does botulinum toxin injection work?
Botulinum toxin functions by decreasing the activity of facial muscles. This is how the injection treats existing wrinkles and prevents the formation of future wrinkles.
Wrinkles & fine lines are a natural occurrence during the ageing process.
Due to 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.
It can be used to treat medical conditions such as excessive sweating, jaw reduction for teeth grinding, migraines, frown lines, and wrinkles.
At Bio Aesthetic Laser Clinic, we only use FDA-approved Botox botulinum toxins.

When should you start Botox?
When Should You Start Botulinum Toxin?
Preventative botulinum toxin is commonly started in the mid-to-late 20s to early 30s, especially for individuals beginning to notice fine lines from repetitive facial expressions.
The goal is to reduce early muscle movement that contributes to wrinkle formation, helping maintain smoother skin over time.
It is not about freezing expressions but softening them subtly before lines become permanent.
Suitability depends on facial anatomy, lifestyle, and skin condition, and should always be assessed during a medical consultation.

How can botulinum toxin help you?
Different Formulations of Botulinum Toxin Brands
While many people refer to wrinkle-relaxing injections as “botulinum toxin,” there are actually several approved brands available in Singapore.
All three contain botulinum toxin type A and work by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. The main differences lie in formulation characteristics such as the size of the molecules, the presence or absence of accessory proteins, and how they may spread or take effect.
Some may show results slightly faster, while others are designed for more targeted application. Your doctor will recommend the most suitable option based on your facial anatomy, treatment goals, and previous response to botulinum toxin.
Do note that there are some clinics in Singapore that use non-FDA-approved botulinum toxin (typically from Korea and China). It is important to check with your doctor about the brand for your safety.
Jaw Botox
Jaw Slimming with Botulinum Toxin
Overactive jaw muscles can cause a wider or squarer lower face. Botulinum toxin injections are used to gently relax the masseter muscles, creating a slimmer, more tapered appearance over time.
This treatment is especially common among patients with a strong bite, clenching habits, or those seeking a more contoured jawline.
Obvious visible results will occur over 3–4 weeks, achieving a sharper, more defined V shaped jaw. Most patients who seek jaw reduction usually have a square jawline.
For individuals who constantly grind their teeth, it acts like a workout for their jaw muscles, causing them to gradually increase in size (giving off the appearance of a square jaw).
Botox Side Effects
Botulinum Toxin Side Effects
Botulinum toxin injections are generally safe, but mild adverse effects such as bruising, headaches, and fever might occur. Some side effects are linked to the injection site.
For botulinum toxin near the eye region, some individuals may experience drooping eyelids, uneven eyebrows, and dry eyes.
The majority of adverse effects are transitory and should subside within a few days.
Botulism-like symptoms may occur in very rare circumstances. If you start to experience any of the following symptoms, get medical help right away.
Aesthetic and Medical Use of Botulinum Toxin
Remove Lines & Wrinkles: Botulinum toxin can relax the muscles that are responsible for wrinkles. Repeated contractions occur when you frown & smile, causing lines to appear on your forehead & eyes. The weakening of the muscle will minimise the contractions, allowing the skin to tighten.
Calf Reduction: Botulinum toxin can reduce the size of the calf by contracting the muscles. The result will be visible within 4 weeks.
Jaw Reduction: Injected into the masseter to reduce the jaw muscles and slim the face. It is effective for patients who get constant migraines due to stress & teeth grinding. The muscle can shrink 15–30% over the course of 4 weeks. The result is a sharper jawline.
Oily skin & pores: Instead of injecting into the muscles, when botulinum toxin is used on the dermis layer, the effect can control oily skin and pore tightening. The overall effect can tighten the skin.
Reduce excessive sweating: Botulinum toxin can be injected into the palms, feet, or armpits to reduce excessive sweating. Although the results are temporary, they can reduce sweating by up to 80%.
Suitability of Botulinum Toxin
Who is botulinum toxin for?

There is minimal downtime for botulinum toxin. You can return to work as if no treatment has been done. We also include a complimentary touch-up after the 1-week review if the first injection is not enough. It will usually last 3–6 months, depending on how often the muscle is used.
