To be precise, Botox is a brand of Neurotoxin in Singapore. Three brands of Neurotoxins have received approval for cosmetic use- Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA, Allergan Aesthetics), Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA, Ipsen/Galderma) and Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA, MERZ Aesthetics). Neurotoxins (“Botox”) are derived from purified proteins from the Cloistridium Botulinium bacteria. First approved by the US FDA for medical use in 1989, Botox works by weakening selected muscles by blocking nerve transmission. In Dermatology, Botox treatment is used for treating dynamic wrinkles of the face and neck, such as forehead, glabellar and crows feet. Botox can also be used to achieve a slimmer looking face in individuals with masseter hypertrophy (square jaw) and tighten the skin along the jawline (“Nerfertiti Lift”). Botox can be also used for body contouring- to slim down large calf or shoulder muscles. Botox is used for the medical treatment of hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of palms and armpit), bruxism (teeth grinding), Temporomandibular joint disorders, muscular spasms, migraines and squints.
Neurotoxins binds to the nerve and preventing release of signals to the muscle, thereby causing weakening of the target muscle group. Dynamic wrinkles are formed due to overactive facial muscle movements, and over time develop into static wrinkles (fixed lines)- giving the face aged look. Targeted treatment of these overactive facial muscles can reduce the formation of wrinkles and delay the progression of skin aging.
Results from a Botox treatment in Singapore can be appreciated in 1-2 weeks and lasts for up to 4-6 months.
Long term Botox use delays skin aging- as evidenced in the photos below from a well known study1 published in 2006 where two identical twins were followed up for 13 years- one twin underwent regular Botox treatments and the other did not. The twin who had regular treatments had better skin quality and less wrinkles compared to the one who did not.

Botox treatment can delay worsening of static wrinkles. For best results, combination treatment with fillers or radiofrequency microneedling would be recommended.
Most clinics charge per area treated or by the number of units of botox used during the treatment. Take note of the different brands of botulinium neurotoxins available in the market, original Botox (by Allergan), Dysp0rt, and Xe0min. These brands may have different prices per unit.
Botox injection is a medical treatment that can be only performed by a licensed and credentialed medical professional- avoid home based illegal beauticians!
