Botox® (Botulinum Toxin)
Botox® is the world's first approved botulinum toxin brand. Originating in the United States, it has stood at the forefront of medical aesthetics since its debut in 1989. Drawing on patented purification technology and a unique formulation, it produces a highly purified botulinum toxin containing protective protein, with high stability and a slower diffusion rate, allowing for more precise and safe results. Botox® is developed and manufactured by the American pharmaceutical company Allergan. It was the earliest botulinum toxin approved by the U.S. FDA, backed by over thirty years of clinical experience and an extensive body of international medical literature, with a safety and stability profile trusted by physicians worldwide. BOTOX is a highly purified protein. When precisely injected by a professional physician, it can block excessive signal transmission between nerves and muscles, effectively relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, keeping expressions natural while making contours smoother and more refined. Changes are generally felt 1 to 2 days after injection, with the effect gradually emerging within a week, presenting a subtle yet noticeable youthful look.

Botulinum Toxin FAQ
Q1 Which areas can Botox be injected into? It is mainly used to relax muscles. Common areas include: Facial dynamic wrinkles: crow's feet, forehead lines Facial contouring: masseter slimming for a smaller face, jawline lifting Body contours: calf muscle slimming Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) treatment
Q2 Will it cause muscle weakness after injection? If the dose is too high or the placement imprecise, you may temporarily feel muscle weakness, but this usually recovers as the effect wears off, leaving no aftereffects. Choosing a qualified professional physician reduces the risk.
Q3 Is Botox price related to the result? You get what you pay for. Overly cheap Botox treatments may use an insufficient dose or drugs of unknown origin. We recommend choosing a safe, reliable brand and physician, and not risking safety for a small price difference.
Q4 How much dosage do I need? It varies by area and the improvement desired: Expression lines: 8–16U per area Face slimming / jawline: 30–60U Calf muscles: 160–200U Hyperhidrosis: 50–100U per area The above is for reference only; the actual dose must be determined by the physician's assessment.
Q5 How long does the Botox effect last? Generally 4–6 months, related to metabolic rate, frequency of muscle use, lifestyle, stress, etc. Dynamic wrinkles: effect felt in 1–2 weeks, full effect in about 1–2 months Facial lifting / masseter: muscle softening felt in about 3–4 weeks, full effect in 1–2 months Calf muscles: muscle softening in about 1–2 months, full effect in 1–3 months Hyperhidrosis: reduced sweating felt in about 3 weeks, full effect in 1–2 months
Q6 Will Botox make my expressions stiff? With assessment and precise injection by a professional physician, natural expressions can usually be maintained. The first injection may require some adjustment to the change in muscle strength, but it will not be overly stiff.
Q7 How often do I need an injection? We recommend an injection every 4–6 months; to maintain optimal condition, you may repeat the injection before the effect wears off, depending on individual constitution and needs.
Q8 Will wrinkles become worse after stopping injections? No. After the effect wears off, the muscles resume their original activity and the wrinkles return to their pre-injection state, but they will not be worse than before. Continued injections can delay wrinkle formation and the deepening of muscle lines.
Q9 How can the effect last longer? Following the physician's advice to repeat the injection before the effect wears off can accumulate the effect, making wrinkle improvement more lasting.
Q10 Which treatments can Botox be combined with? Face: picosecond laser, ultrasound lifting, thread lifting, hyaluronic acid or Ellansé filling.
