Botox (Botulinum Toxin) Injection

Description	Botox (botulinum toxin) injections work by relaxing muscle tension to reduce or eliminate dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead lines, and crow’s feet around the eyes. When injected into the masseter muscles (jaw muscles), Botox can also slim the face, creating a more contoured and refined appearance. Additionally, Botox is effective for treating hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) when injected into areas such as the underarms, hands, or feet.
Risks	Swelling, bruising, etc.

What Is Botulinum Toxin?

Botulinum toxin is a type of protein derived from the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It works by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, helping to relax muscle tension.
It has long been used in ophthalmology and neurology to treat conditions such as eyelid and facial spasms.

BOTOX VISTA, produced by Allergan Japan, is a botulinum toxin product used by over 10 million people worldwide. It is the only botulinum toxin formulation in Japan officially approved by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for treating frown lines (between eyebrows) and crow’s feet. With over 20 years of clinical use and a well-established safety profile in the U.S., it is known for its high quality, safety, and patient satisfaction.

We also offer a more affordable option: Korean-made botulinum toxin approved by the Korean Food and Drug Administration (KFDA). Its safety has been well established, with over 15 years of use in cosmetic plastic surgery and dermatology across Europe and the U.S.

Botulinum toxin is widely used to relax the muscles responsible for facial expression lines—such as those on the forehead, glabella (between the eyebrows), and crow’s feet. These effects typically last for around 4 months. It is also commonly used to treat excessive underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis).

Note: As this is a biologically derived product, we recommend avoiding pregnancy for at least 3 months following treatment.

Features of Botulinum Toxin Injection

Quick and Easy! – A simple injection takes only a few minutes.
Natural Results! – The effects develop gradually, so the change looks subtle and barely noticeable to others.

We Prioritize Minimizing Pain!

Use of Inhalational Anesthesia (Nitrous Oxide Gas)
Nitrous oxide (also known as “laughing gas”) has analgesic and sedative effects, allowing you to stay relaxed during the procedure. It takes effect quickly, wears off soon after the session, and has minimal side effects.
*¥3,000
Use of Topical Anesthesia
Lidocaine cream and painless tape (Penless) help to reduce the pain of needle insertion.
For the delicate under-eye area, we use Penless tape instead of cream, as the cream may run into the eyes when warmed by body temperature, causing discomfort.
*Lidocaine Cream: ¥3,000
*Penless Tape: ¥1,000 per patch

FAQ

I have an egg allergy. Can I receive botulinum toxin (Botox) injections?

There is no particular problem with egg allergies concerning Botox injections.

Botox Injection

If I keep receiving botulinum toxin (Botox) injections repeatedly, will my facial expressions become unnatural or mask-like?

Excessive Botox can paralyze facial muscles, causing unnatural or mask-like expressions. This is especially common with Botox injections for slimming the cheekbone area, where smiling expressions may become stiff. Please understand that except for the forehead and around the eyes, many injection sites are not officially approved by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for this reason.

Botox Injection (Wrinkle Treatment)

If I stop botulinum toxin (Botox) injections, will my wrinkles worsen?

The muscles simply return to their original state after the effect wears off, so wrinkles will not worsen. However, frequent injections within three months are not recommended, as muscle thinning can cause the skin to become thinner and wrinkles to appear more easily with small facial movements. Usually, 2 to 3 injections per year provide appropriate control.

Botox Injection (Wrinkle Treatment)

Why does botulinum toxin (Botox) injection reduce a prominent jawline?

Botox works by relaxing the muscles. It takes advantage of the fact that when muscles are less active, they gradually shrink. The prominence of the jawline is often caused by the masseter muscle, which is used when chewing or clenching. Injecting Botox into this muscle suppresses its activity, leading to muscle reduction over time. This results in a slimmer, more defined facial contour and a noticeable small face effect.

Botox Injection (Jaw angles: Masseter muscles)

How many botulinum toxin (Botox) injections are needed to slim down a prominent jawline?

You can see some slimming effect after just one treatment. However, about three treatments spaced a few months apart are generally recommended for a more noticeable and longer-lasting result. Some patients are satisfied after one session, while others may feel their cheeks look hollowed out. Whether to continue additional treatments depends on the individual’s progress and consultation with the doctor. Please inform us during booking if you would like a consultation about follow-up treatments.

Botox Injection (Jaw angles: Masseter muscles)

Why does botulinum toxin (Botox) reduce underarm sweating?

Botox not only relaxes muscles but also inhibits the activity of sweat glands. By reducing sweat production, it helps control mild underarm odor as well.

Botox Injection (Hyperhidrosis)

Can botulinum toxin (Botox) injections cure excessive axillary (underarm) odor?

Botox is effective for many patients with mild underarm odor because it suppresses sweat production from the eccrine sweat glands. However, in severe cases, sweating may stop but odor may persist, as body odor is primarily caused by apocrine sweat glands, which Botox does not affect. For more severe cases, treatments like MiraDry Fresh, which target both sweat and odor, are recommended.

What is the difference between hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin (Botox) for wrinkle treatment?

Hyaluronic acid injections work by lifting sunken skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. On the other hand, Botox injections are used to treat dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movements, often called expression lines. For wrinkles that remain even when your face is at rest, hyaluronic acid injections can also help improve them.
