BOTOX in Singapore: What Are My Treatment Options?
on November 4, 2014
BOTOX treatment has become one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures done today. The chief reason for the popularity of BOTOX in Singapore – and around the world, for that matter – is that it offers safe and very effective treatment of a number of aesthetic issues caused by overactive facial muscles. So what are your treatment options with BOTOX in Singapore?
BOTOX in Singapore: Anti-Aging Treatment
BOTOX is a very effective treatment for dynamic wrinkles, also commonly referred to as expression lines. These are caused by the contraction of tiny muscles under the skin as a person smiles, frowns or makes other common facial expressions.
Over time, repetitive creasing of the skin by the underlying muscles can create permanent lines, wrinkles and folds, aging the appearance. Common examples of this type of wrinkling include glabellar frown lines, which are vertical lines between the eyebrows, crows feet at the outer corners of eyes, horizontal forehead lines and wrinkles on the bridge of the nose, commonly called bunny lines.
BOTOX, injected into the muscles that form these lines, can minimize or erase them, providing a smoother, younger and more relaxed facial appearance. BOTOX can also be used to lift eyebrows that have begun to droop with age, minimize neck lines and folds, soften lines around the mouth and improve chin dimpling, among other aesthetic uses.
BOTOX Jaw Reduction In Singapore
BOTOX can be used as a non-surgical solution to a bulky, square jawline, softening and slimming the jaw area to provide improved definition of the jawline and enhanced facial harmony. This is most effective in cases where a wide or square jaw is caused by overdeveloped or enlarged masseter muscles, an issue that can happen in those with a habit of grinding or clenching their teeth or can be an inherited trait, among other causes. BOTOX, when injected into these muscles, causes a controlled weakening, preventing them from contracting as forcefully as usual. Reduced movement leads to shrinkage in the masseter muscles over time, slimming the jawline.
Other Common Uses For BOTOX In Singapore
BOTOX is frequently used to minimize the appearance of a gummy smile. It can also be used to reduce excessive tilting and flaring of the nose that can occur as a person laughs or smiles. Other uses include treatment of excessive sweating and as a preventative in younger patients to discourage the development of dynamic facial lines and wrinkles. Often, BOTOX is used in combination with other treatments to enhance the appearance, most frequently dermal fillers.
Of course, which of these BOTOX treatment options is right for you depends largely on your circumstances and treatment goals – factors that are best determined by a consultation with a Singapore oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Why a surgeon for a non-surgical cosmetic procedure? Because great, natural-looking aesthetic results depend heavily on the skill and training of your provider, since BOTOX must be injected at precise points to produce the desired affect on facial muscles. That sort of precision takes a very good working knowledge of facial anatomy – an area in which Singapore oral surgeons receive more extensive and specialized training than most other medical professionals.
