Botox Treatment in Singapore: Anti-Wrinkle Injections by Dermatologists at DAS

What Is Botox and How Does It Work?

Botox (botulinum toxin type A) is a purified neurotoxin protein that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles by blocking nerve signals. When injected in precise, micro-doses by a trained dermatologist, it smooths dynamic wrinkles — the lines that form from repeated facial expressions like frowning, squinting, and smiling.

At DAS Skin Clinic, we use only FDA-approved botulinum toxin products including Botox (Allergan), Dysport (Galderma), and Xeomin (Merz). Our dermatologists — including Dr Henry Loh and Dr Seow Ee Ling — have performed thousands of botox treatments, ensuring natural-looking results that preserve your facial expressiveness.

Common Treatment Areas

Upper Face

• Forehead lines — horizontal creases from raising eyebrows
• Frown lines (glabellar lines) — the "11" lines between your brows
• Crow's feet — fan-shaped lines around the outer eyes
• Brow lift — subtle elevation of drooping brows

Mid and Lower Face

• Bunny lines — wrinkles across the nose bridge
• Lip flip — relaxes the upper lip to create a subtle pout
• Dimpled chin (peau d'orange) — smooths a pebbly chin texture
• Masseter (jaw slimming) — reduces a square jawline for a V-shaped face. Typically 25-50 units per side

Medical Applications

• Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) — underarms, palms, and soles. Botox blocks sweat gland stimulation for 6-9 months
• Bruxism and TMJ pain — masseter injection relieves teeth grinding and jaw tension
• Migraine management — targeted injection points for chronic headache sufferers

The DAS Botox Treatment Process

Consultation (15-20 minutes)

Your dermatologist assesses your facial anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals. They will identify the specific muscles causing your concerns, discuss unit estimates, and set realistic expectations.

Treatment Day (15-30 minutes)

Face is cleansed and treatment areas marked

Ice or topical numbing cream applied for comfort

Ultra-fine 30-32 gauge needles used for precise injections

No downtime — you can return to normal activities immediately

Results Timeline

• Day 1-3: You may notice mild injection-site redness or small bumps (resolve within hours)
• Day 3-5: Initial muscle relaxation begins
• Day 7-14: Full effect visible — smoother skin, softened lines
• Month 3-4: Gradual return of muscle movement; retreatment recommended

Safety and Side Effects

Botox is one of the most extensively studied aesthetic treatments worldwide, with over 20 years of clinical use. Common side effects are mild and temporary:

• Slight bruising or swelling at injection sites (1-2 days)
• Mild headache (uncommon, resolves within 24 hours)
• Temporary asymmetry during onset period

Serious side effects like eyelid drooping (ptosis) are rare (<1%) when performed by experienced dermatologists using proper technique.

Who Should Avoid Botox

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women
• Patients with neuromuscular disorders (myasthenia gravis)
• Active skin infection at injection sites
• Known allergy to botulinum toxin

Frequently Asked Questions

How many units of Botox will I need?

This varies by treatment area and individual muscle strength. Forehead typically needs 10-20 units, frown lines 15-25 units, and crow's feet 8-15 units per side. Your doctor will advise during consultation.

Does Botox hurt?

Most patients describe the sensation as a brief pinch. We use ultra-fine needles and can apply topical numbing cream beforehand.

Can I combine Botox with other treatments?

Yes. Many patients combine Botox with dermal fillers, skin boosters (Profhilo), or laser treatments. Your dermatologist will recommend the best combination plan.

Will I look frozen or unnatural?

At DAS, we follow a conservative, natural approach. The goal is to soften lines while preserving natural expression. We prefer to start with fewer units and adjust at follow-up.

How often should I get Botox?

Most patients return every 3-4 months initially. With regular treatment, some patients find they can extend intervals to 4-6 months as muscles gradually weaken.
