Wrinkle Removal at TBT Aesthetic
using Injectable Neurotoxin (BTX)
In Singapore, the BTX treatment process for wrinkle removal presents a minimally invasive solution to tackle facial wrinkles and fine lines. By precisely injecting BTX into the muscles responsible for wrinkle formation, this cosmetic procedure temporarily immobilizes those muscles, resulting in a smoother skin texture.
Neurotoxins, a staple in the toolkit of medical professionals, serve as injectable solutions to combat wrinkle development. By selectively blocking nerve receptors in the muscles, these solutions effectively solve the formation of lines and wrinkles.
Preferred by those seeking a more youthful appearance, BTX treatment for wrinkle removal is a popular choice for addressing forehead wrinkles, those around the eyes, and other facial areas.

How does Injectable Neurotoxin (BTX) work?
Injectable Neurotoxin Treatment operates on the principle of injecting minute quantities of neurotoxic protein into targeted muscles. This strategic approach effectively impedes the transmission of chemical signals originating from nerve cells, thereby preventing the contraction of muscles that contribute to the formation of wrinkles.
Injectable neurotoxins find widespread application in temporarily relaxing the facial muscles, particularly in the forehead and periocular areas. Consequently, weakened facial muscles play a pivotal role in minimizing the presence of fine lines and wrinkles.
Typically performed as an outpatient procedure, BTX treatment enables patients to return home on the same day. The duration of the procedure ranges from approximately 30 minutes to an hour.

Forehead Lines
Forehead lines, caused by factors like repetitive facial expressions and aging, can be treated with BTX. During treatment, the procedure injects BTX into specific areas of the forehead, blocking nerve signals and preventing muscle contractions. This results in smoother skin and reduced wrinkles.
-
Frown Lines
Frown lines are caused by repetitive facial expressions, aging, and decreased collagen production. BTX is an effective treatment for frown lines. It involves injecting BTX into the muscles between the eyebrows, blocking nerve signals and causing muscle relaxation.
-
Eye Wrinkle
Eye wrinkles are caused by aging, repeated muscle contractions, and sun exposure. BTX is a popular treatment option for reducing the appearance of eye wrinkles. By injecting BTX into the muscles around the eyes, it temporarily relaxes them, which in turn softens the wrinkles and fine lines.
-
To ensure optimal results and prevent unintended diffusion of BTX, it is recommended to maintain an upright position for a minimum of 4 hours following the procedure. Refraining from massaging the treated area for at least 5 days is also advised. Additionally, it is advisable to abstain from consuming alcohol, exposing oneself to hot sauna environments, and engaging in strenuous physical exercise for a period of 72 hours post-treatment. However, the application of makeup can be resumed the day following the procedure.
-
The anti-wrinkle properties of BTX typically manifest within a span of 2 to 7 days following the injection. Notably, certain patients have reported observing visible effects as early as 1 to 2 days, with the timeline influenced by the size of the treated areas.
By the end of the second week, complete paralysis of the specific facial muscle targeted in the treatment is typically achieved. The results of the procedure typically endure for a duration of up to 4 months, although this timeframe may vary among individuals.
-
Typically, the effects of Injectable BTX treatment last for an average duration of 3 to 4 months. However, individual experiences may vary, with some patients noticing results that endure for up to 6 months, while others may observe a shorter duration of approximately 2 to 3 months. These variations are influenced by factors such as muscle activity and the individual's metabolism rate.
To maintain the desired appearance, subsequent periodic repeated treatments can be administered, effectively prolonging the duration of BTX treatment's effectiveness.
-
No, that's a major misconception about BTX injections. It's untrue that Injectable Neurotoxins (BTX) treatment results in a stiff or unnatural appearance.
Injectable Neurotoxins (BTX) have a gentle and controlled impact on the treated area. They primarily target muscle movement and do not cause a frozen effect in the area.
-
BTX injections are non-invasive, meaning there is no downtime involved. You can simply leave the clinic and drive home right after your injection without the need to stay home for days to recover.
You might experience temporary redness and itching, but these will quickly fade away. There's no need to worry about requesting time off from work or feeling embarrassed about it.
-
BTX Treatment is typically well tolerated and does not require any downtime.
Common side effects of the treatment may include mild redness and swelling, which usually resolve within a few hours. In some cases, there may be bruising, but applying cold compression can help reduce swelling and bruising.
Rare side effects and complications may include drooping eyelids or an asymmetrical smile, depending on the treatment area. If any of these occur, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
