B*tulinum toxin is a naturally purified protein whose role is to temporarily block the release of acetylcholine, the chemical responsible for transmission between the nerve endings and muscles. This effect causes the relaxation of the overactive muscles. It is often prescribed to treat medical conditions such as chronic migraines, eyelid spasm and even excessive sweating (in the armpits, hands, feet).
Cosmetically, b*tulinum toxin can be used to treat facial lines, by relaxing facial muscles to smooth unwanted wrinkles and stop deeper lines from forming.
B*tulinum toxin is essentially a muscle relaxant. It blocks the nerve impulses to the muscles so they relax and can’t contract. This causes lines and wrinkles to soften.
• Reverse a pointy chin (also known as “witchy chin”) by relaxing the muscle that causes puckering.

• Treat teeth grinding by relaxing the jaw muscles and reducing tension on the jaw joint.
• Reduce oil production in the skin.

Dr Ivan Puah, our medical director, can produce natural-looking results with b*tulinum toxin injections. He is recently the appointed trainer by Allergan Singapore and Merz Singapore to train doctors in b*tulinum toxin and dermal Fillers injections.
B*tulinum toxin has a safety profile. The doses are very small, and the risks are minimal. If any do occur, they are temporary and range from just mild to moderate. It is important for b*tulinum toxin injections to be performed by doctors with the appropriate training, qualifications, expertise and experience in a clinical setting. In Singapore, only doctors are allowed to perform injectable procedures on patients.
Many clients find their b*tulinum toxin injections tolerable and comfortable.
It will take a little while for your muscles to relax. Hence it will normally take 5 - 7 days for the injection to work fully.
The results differ from person-to-person, but generally, you may need to repeat the treatment approximately every 4 months over a 12-month period to maintain results.
There is no downtime, and normal activities can be resumed after treatment.
