Botulinum toxin type A is a recent advancement in the field of modern medicine. It is a natural, highly purified protein substance that does not accumulate in the human body. This high-purity protein is extracted from bacteria and can block the transmission of nerve signals, allowing tense muscles to relax, which is effective in treating dynamic wrinkles.
Botulinum toxin has been used for injection-based treatment of various medical conditions and in the cosmetic field. In fact, botulinum toxin injections for wrinkle reduction have been the most popular medical cosmetic procedure in the United States for over a decade, with both proven efficacy and safety.
The ability of botulinum toxin to temporarily paralyze specific muscles makes it a valuable tool for treating various medical conditions, as well as improving cosmetic appearance by reducing dynamic wrinkles. Its safe and effective use has contributed to its widespread adoption in the medical and aesthetic domains.

Wrinkles occur when your facial muscles repeatedly folds the skin, like frown lines forehead lines and crow’s feet. BTX works by relaxing the muscles that create facial wrinkles and temporary blocks the chemical signals that make the muscle contract. This makes the lines less noticeable, while still allowing the same expressions, leading to smoother skin and rejuvenated appearance. It can also be used for eyebrow shaping (eyebrow lifting) and facial lifting (Nefertiti lift).
BTX injections can be used to treat an enlarged and overactive facial muscle like jaw muscle (masseter), under eye and nasal muscle, as well as calf muscle. When BTX is injected into the enlarged muscle, it becomes weaker and smaller over several months, reducing the appearance of a wide square jawline and reducing excessively large calf muscles naturally, leading to an improved facial harmony and body figure.
BTX underarm injection is used for excessive underarm perspiration also known as Axillary hyperhidrosis. It is given by micro injection into the skin, which blocks the actions of the nerve that supplies the eccrine glands and prevents the glands from producing sweat. Botulinum toxin for sweating is a highly effective treatment to reduce sweaty armpits as it reduces the unpleasant smell our bodies can give off when bacteria that live on the skin break down sweat into acids.
We use only genuine products approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Hong Kong Department of Health. Our doctors will choose the right products and treatment options that fits your needs better. Individuals with certain conditions are not recommended to undergo BTX treatments. This includes those with an allergy to any of the ingredients in the BTX product, pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals under the age of 18, those with a severe allergy history, and people prone to keloid or hypertrophic scar formation.
Additionally, patients who have permanent implants at the treatment area or are currently taking oral or injectable corticosteroids are also not suitable candidates for this procedure. These contraindications are in place to ensure the safety and suitability of the BTX treatment for the patient. Consulting a qualified healthcare provider is essential to properly evaluate one’s eligibility and medical history before considering a BTX treatment, as these conditions may pose increased risks or potential complications.
Post-Treatment Care Tips:
For the first 4 hours after the treatment, it is best to avoid lying down and massaging the injection sites.
For the first week following a facial slimming treatment, it is recommended to avoid consuming very hot foods and chewing vigorously (such as chewing gum or dried squid). This is to prevent excessive activity of the chewing muscles, which could shorten the duration of the treatment’s effectiveness.
