Botulinum Toxin (Botox)
Softening the lines of movement, without losing what makes your expression yours.
Softening the lines of movement, without losing what makes your expression yours.
Botulinum toxin is a doctor-administered injectable that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles, softening the dynamic lines that form with repeated expression — such as frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines. It is also used for jaw slimming through masseter reduction. Rather than eliminating movement altogether, the aim is a natural, refreshed look where your expression still reads as your own.
Dosing and placement are customised by Dr Gerald Tan for each patient, based on muscle strength and the pattern of movement in your face — never a standard, one-size-fits-all dose.
Dr Gerald Tan assesses your facial muscle activity and the specific lines or areas of concern before customising a dosing and placement plan. Botulinum toxin is then injected into targeted muscles using a fine needle, temporarily relaxing them so that the overlying skin creases less with movement. The approach is calibrated to soften dynamic lines while preserving natural, expressive movement elsewhere in the face.
Vertical lines between the brows that appear with concentration or frowning.
Fine lines that fan out from the outer corners of the eyes when smiling.
Horizontal lines that form across the forehead with raised brows.
A more tapered lower face contour for patients with a prominent jaw muscle.
Mild redness or small bumps at injection points may appear and typically settle quickly.
Muscle relaxation develops gradually, with most patients noticing softened movement lines within this window.
Effects typically last around three to four months before muscle activity gradually returns and a repeat session can be considered.
