Anti-Wrinkle Treatments

Anti-wrinkle treatments use botulinum toxin injections (Botox® / Azzalure® / Dysport® / Bocouture®) to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles that cause wrinkles and expression lines.

With repeated, timely treatments, it is well-established in smoothening existing lines and preventing new ones from forming, helping you maintain a refreshed and youthful appearance.

In addition to its cosmetic uses, botulinum toxin can also be used for a variety of applications, including jawline slimming, lower-face lifting, and the management of medical conditions such as excessive sweating, teeth grinding (bruxism) and muscular pain.

  • Follow-up appointment: A complimentary review may be necessary to tweak any areas that require adjusting. This will usually take place 2-4 weeks from the initial appointment.

  • No rubbing or massaging the injected areas.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol.
