How often should I repeat it?

The clinic recommends re-treatment every 3 to 4 months to maintain the result.

Can I treat more than one area?

Yes. Pricing is per area, so you can choose the areas you want at consultation.

Will there be marks after the injections?

Small bumps usually settle within 2 to 3 hours but can last 1 to 2 days. Bruising and swelling can occur depending on skin condition.

Also known as gummy smile Botox, it involves injecting Botox about 1 cm from the edge of the nostrils to relax the muscles, which helps reduce how much of your gums show when you smile.

What is Nostril Botox?

Botox is injected into the nostril area to relax the muscles and reduce excessive nostril movement, which helps minimize flaring when you speak or sing.

What is Mouth Corner Botox?

Above the corner of the mouth is the levator anguli oris muscle, and below it is the depressor anguli oris muscle. When Botox is injected into the depressor anguli oris to relax it, the levator anguli oris can lift the corners with less resistance, creating a natural lift at the corners of the mouth when you smile.
