BOTOX SINGAPORE
Botox also known as botulinum toxin type A, is recognized globally as a leading non-surgical cosmetic treatment, well-known for its efficacy in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In Singapore, where the pursuit of aesthetic perfection isn't just a luxury but a common desire among professionals of all ages, Botox treatments have become increasingly popular for temporary improvement of frown lines, crows feet lines and forehead lines.
Cosmetic
Reduction of facial wrinkles
Jaw muscles
Trapezius muscles
Medical
Treatment of muscle spasms
Chronic Migraines
Excessive sweating
1 Week to see results
Botox is incredibly versatile, capable of treating various aesthetic concerns that contribute to an aged appearance. It shouldn't be too long before you see improvements which generally occur within a week.
4 months of effects
Touch-ups and repeat visits are possible following a doctor's assessment of the effectiveness.You can expect effects potentially lasting up to 4 months. Wait at least 3 months before considering a top-up.
Treating Glabellar Lines
For treating glabellar frown lines (the vertical lines between the eyebrows, often called "11s"), botulinum toxin (Botox) injections are typically administered into specific muscles. These muscles are responsible for the facial expressions that create these frown lines.
Injection Muscles for Glabellar Frown Lines:
-
Corrugator Supercilii
-
Function: Draws the eyebrows inward and downward, creating vertical frown lines between the eyebrows.
-
-
Procerus
-
Function: Pulls the skin of the nose upward, contributing to the formation of horizontal lines at the top of the nose and creating a "frowning" or "scrunching" appearance.
-
-
Depressor Supercilii
-
Function: Lowers the medial part of the eyebrow, contributing to the frowning expression.
-
By weakening these muscles with injections, the lines between the eyebrows are smoothed, reducing the appearance of glabellar frown lines.
Dose 10-20Units
Price $90-180
Treating Forehead Lines
For treating forehead lines (horizontal lines that appear across the forehead), botulinum toxin (Botox) injections are typically administered into specific muscles responsible for these expressions.
Injection Muscles for Forehead Lines:
-
Frontalis
-
Function: Raises the eyebrows, causing horizontal lines to form across the forehead. By weakening the frontalis muscle with injections, these lines can be smoothed out.
-
In some cases, adjacent muscles may also be targeted to enhance results and prevent compensatory movements, but the primary muscle for forehead lines is the frontalis.
Dose: 10-20U
Price: $90-180
Treating Crow's Feet
For treating crow's feet lines (the fine lines that form at the outer corners of the eyes), botulinum toxin (Botox) injections are typically administered into specific muscles responsible for these expressions.
Injection Muscles for Crow's Feet Lines:
-
Orbicularis Oculi
-
Function: Responsible for closing the eyes and contributing to the squinting motion, which leads to the formation of crow's feet. By relaxing this muscle with injections, the appearance of these lines can be softened.
-
In some cases, additional areas around the eyes may be treated to enhance the overall effect and achieve a more youthful appearance.
Dose: 6-10U
Price: $54-90
Treating Dimpled Chin
For treating a dimpled chin (often referred to as "peau d'orange" appearance), botulinum toxin (Botox) injections are typically administered into specific muscles responsible for this expression.
Injection Muscle for Dimpled Chin:
-
Mentalis
-
Function: Elevates and protrudes the lower lip, causing a dimpled or textured appearance of the chin. By weakening the mentalis muscle with injections, the dimpled effect can be minimized, resulting in a smoother chin area.
-
By targeting the mentalis muscle, the appearance of a dimpled chin can be effectively reduced, leading to a more aesthetically pleasing chin profile.
Dose: 4-8U
Price: $36-72
Nefertiti Neck Lift
For performing a Nefertiti Neck Lift, botulinum toxin (Botox) injections are typically administered into specific muscles responsible for the appearance of the neck and jawline.
Injection Muscle for Nefertiti Neck Lift:
-
Platysma
-
Function: Pulls the lower face and neck downward, contributing to neck bands and sagging jawline. By relaxing the platysma muscle with injections, the jawline can be better defined, and the neck area can appear smoother and more youthful.
-
By targeting the platysma muscle, the Nefertiti Neck Lift can enhance jawline definition and improve the overall contour of the neck, achieving a more elegant profile.Stay lateral to avoid weakening the depressor labii inferioris muscle.
Dose: 6-12U
Price: $54-96
Treating Jaw Botox
For treating masseter hypertrophy (enlargement of the masseter muscle, leading to a wider jawline), botulinum toxin (Botox) injections are typically administered into specific muscles responsible for jaw function.
Injection Muscle for Masseter Hypertrophy:
-
Masseter
-
Function: Closes the jaw and aids in chewing, contributing to a prominent, square-shaped jawline. By weakening the masseter muscle with injections, the muscle size is reduced, resulting in a slimmer jawline and a softer facial contour.
-
Targeting the masseter muscle effectively diminishes its hypertrophy, leading to a more aesthetically pleasing and defined jawline.
Dose: 30-60U
Price: $270-540
2. How BOTOX Singapore is administered at Nee Soon Clinic
At Nee Soon Clinic, we use an "Invisible Needle" that is 33% thinner than a 30G needle (which is an insulin needle). This extremely small needle results in a near painless experience for patients with the following benefits:
-
Minimal bruising
-
Near painless experience
-
Less bleeding
3. How does BOTOX work?
Botox is used to reduce the appearance of facial lines by temporarily blocking nerve impulses directed towards the muscles where it is injected. It functions by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger that signals muscles to contract. When Botox is injected into specific facial muscles, it prevents these muscles from contracting, resulting in the relaxation and softening of wrinkles.
Step 1 Consultation
A session usually starts with a detailed discussion about your aesthetic goals and medical history.
Step 2 Injection
Small doses are injected into targeted areas. Improvements are generally seen within 1 week after treatment and the treatment effect can last for up to 4 months.
Step 3 Follow-Up
Assessment of the treatment's effectiveness and any touch-ups if necessary.
4. Aesthetic concerns addressed by Botox Singapore
Below is a list of common concerns addressed by Botox, paired with the approximate units typically used:
5. Is Botox Singapore Right for You?
Ideal candidates for Botox are those seeking to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and lines without undergoing surgical procedures. It is suitable for most adults who are in good health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the treatment.
Here's a quick checklist to see if Botox is right for you
Age: Typically 30 years or older
Skin condition: Presence of dynamic wrinkles
Health status: No neuromuscular diseases
Expectations: Looking for non-permanent solutions
6. What to Prepare and Expect During BOTOX Singapore
Preparation for Botox:
Avoid certain medications
Aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs should be avoided to reduce bruising.
No alcohol
Avoid alcohol a few days before the procedure to minimize swelling.
During the Procedure:
Duration
Each session typically lasts about 10-15 minutes.
Sensation
Minimal discomfort, akin to a quick pinch.
Pointers for a Smooth Botox Experience:
Choose a reputable clinic: Ensure the clinic is well-established and has certified practitioners.
Clear communication: Discuss all your concerns and aesthetic goals with the practitioner beforehand.
7. Post-Treatment Care and Recovery BOTOX Singapore
After Botox injections, you can expect to resume normal activities immediately. However, to ensure the best results and minimize side effects, follow these tips:
Post-Treatment Care Tips:
-
Do not rub the treated areas for 24 hours after the procedure: This could cause the Botox to spread to unwanted areas. You can cleanse your face but try not to rub it.
-
Stay upright: Avoid lying down for 4 hours after the injections and avoid excessive bending down or strenuous exercise on the day of treatment.
-
Avoid applying make-up before, during and immediately after treatment.
8. BOTOX Singapore Treatment Protocol for Optimal Results
For the best results, it’s crucial to adhere to a treatment protocol that involves regular follow-ups and maintenance sessions. Typically, the effects of Botox last about 3-6 months, and scheduling follow-up treatments can help maintain the youthful appearance it provides.
9. Combining Botox with Other Aesthetic Treatments
Botox can be effectively combined with other cosmetic procedures such as fillers, chemical peels, or laser treatments for a more comprehensive aesthetic overhaul. This multi-treatment approach addresses skin texture, volume, and wrinkles more holistically.

10. The Science Behind
Mechanism of Action
1. Botulinum Toxin Production:
Botulinum toxin is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This toxin is categorized as one of the most lethal substances known; however, when used in minute doses, it serves therapeutic purposes. The toxin consists of a heavy chain (about 100 kDa) and a light chain (about 50 kDa) that remain linked by a disulfide bond.
2. Binding to Nerve Endings:
The action of Botox begins with its binding to presynaptic motor nerve endings at the neuromuscular junction. The heavy chain of the botulinum toxin binds to specific receptors on the surface of the nerve terminals, primarily the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and gangliosides, facilitating the uptake of the toxin into the nerve cells.
3. Internalization and Translocation:
Following binding, the toxin is internalized into the nerve ending through receptor-mediated endocytosis. Once inside the nerve cell, the acidic environment of the endosome triggers a conformational change in the toxin, allowing the light chain to translocate into the cytosol of the neuron.
4. Proteolytic Activity:
The light chain of botulinum toxin possesses zinc-dependent endopeptidase activity, allowing it to cleave essential proteins involved in the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction. The primary targets of the light chain are soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins, specifically SNAP-25, synaptobrevin, and syntaxin. These proteins are crucial for the fusion of synaptic vesicles containing acetylcholine with the presynaptic membrane.

-
8. What Is The Efficacy of The Flu Vaccination?Studies have shown that flu vaccinations have at least 50% reduction in the risk of influenza-associated hospitalizations. At Nee Soon Clinic, we advised those who are at risk of influenza-associated hospitalizations to have the flu vaccination.

A/Victoria/4897/2022 (H1N1) IVR-238 (UPDATED) A/Darwin/6/2021 (H3N2) IVR-227 (an A/Darwin/9/2021 (H3N2)-like virus) B/Austria/1359417/2021 BVR-26 (B-Victoria lineage) B/Phuket/3073/2013 (B-Yamagata lineage)
-
5. Can People With Egg Allergies Have Flu Vaccination?The majority of flu vaccines incorporate a small quantity of egg protein due to the viruses being cultivated in eggs during the vaccine production process. Nevertheless, instances of severe reactions in individuals with egg allergies are infrequent. According to a recent study by the CDC, only one in a million people experiences a life-threatening allergic reaction to flu vaccination. Individuals who solely develop hives as a result of consuming eggs are eligible to receive the flu vaccination. However, those with other egg-related allergic reactions should undergo vaccination under the supervision of a healthcare professional trained in identifying and addressing allergic conditions. At Nee Soon Clinic, we advise patients with known egg allergies to report it to the healthcare provider before flu vaccination.
-
6. What Is The Timeframe For The Flu Vaccination to take effect?Protective antibodies start to develop in the body at approximately two weeks after receiving the flu vaccine.
-
2. What Is The Difference Between Northern and Southern Hemispheres Flu Vaccine?Winter is typically the peak season for flu cases. In the northern hemisphere, the flu season spans from October to March, whereas in the southern hemisphere, it occurs from April to September. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises on the specific virus strains to be incorporated into the vaccine for each flu season.
-
4. Are There People Who Should Not Go For Flu Vaccination?At Nee Soon Clinic, we advised against flu vaccination for those who who experience a severe allergic reaction from previous flu vaccination or have allergies to vaccine components such as gentamycin, neomycin, and formaldehyde.
-
7. Should I Have The Flu Vaccination Before Travelling Overseas?Air travel accelerates the transmission of the flu virus. Getting a flu vaccination before your departure can mitigate the risk of contracting influenza, a contagious viral illness marked by symptoms such as fevers, chills, runny nose, sore throat, and muscle aches. The virus spreads through close contact, coughing, or sneezing, making it capable of infecting anyone it encounters. At Nee Soon Clinic, we advised those who want to receive the flu vaccination to have the flu vaccination at least two weeks before their travels, as this timeframe is necessary for the development of vaccine-induced immunity.
