BOTULINUM TOXIN SINGAPORE
Eliminate those wrinkles and fine lines.
Botulinum toxin is the secret behind many celebrities “never-aging” faces. Every day, we tend to have repetitive muscular contractions from frowning, squinting, smiling, and lifting the brows.
As we age, the excessive contractions will cause the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines all over the face. The most common wrinkles are frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.
To simplify, when botulinum toxin is injected, it will block the signal to the nerves responsible for contracting, allowing your muscles to relax.
When your muscles are relaxed, the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines will be significantly reduced.
What is Botox?
WHAT IS BOTULINUM TOXIN?
Botulinum toxin is an anti-aging injectable that uses a toxin known as onobotulinumtoxinA to temporarily paralyze a muscle.
The bacteria that cause botulism, a kind of food poisoning, produce this toxin.
There are 3 popular botulinum toxin brands in Singapore. They are not interchangeable because they are slightly different, notably in terms of dosage units.
Aside from eliminating wrinkles, it is also an effective treatment to treat:
- Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
- Grinding teeth (bruxism)
- Muscle contraction (calf reduction)
- Jaw slimming
How does Botox Injection Work?
HOW DOES BOTULINUM TOXIN INJECTION WORK?
Wrinkles & fine lines are part of the aging process. Over time, the lines will deepen and become deeper due to the absence of collagen and the continuous muscle movements (facial expressions).
Lines that form when you smile or frown are referred to as dynamic wrinkles.
Without a proper skin care routine and sun screen, the wrinkles will eventually get deeper.
Botulinum toxin injections contain the toxin onobotulinumtoxinA.
When it is injected, the toxins will block the transmission of impulses between muscle fibers and neurons, weakening the muscles.
The weakened muscles will prevent contractions, reducing wrinkles. You will experience an overall lifting and youthful appearance.
Only approved injectables are used at Cosmo Medical Aesthetic Clinic.

Jaw Botox
JAW BOTULINUM TOXIN
Jaw Botulinum Toxin can be used to reduce the size of the face for an overall slimmer effect.
Patients who suffer from bruxism or jaw clenching abuse their masseter muscles, which causes them to expand and create the appearance of a square jawline.
When Botulinum toxin is injected into the masseter muscle, it relaxes and stops contracting the muscle up to 60%–80%.
Once the masseter muscle diminishes in size, you can expect a slimmer face with sharper jaw line.
