Botulinum Toxin Skin Refine
Reduce Pore Size, Oil Production and Improve Complexion
Botulinum toxin, or more commonly known in Singapore as Botox, is a common treatment for sculpting the face and reducing fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily deactivating overactive muscles on the face.
However, one little known fact about botulinum toxin is that it can also be useful to effectively reduce enlarged pores and improve oiliness, giving you a more refined, smoother skin.
How does Botulinum Toxin Skin Refine work?
Botox, one type of Botulinum Toxin, approved by FDA as safe and effective, is a treatment for fine line, wrinkles, and other facial abnormality. For people with large pores, Botox can be used to reduce the pores for a smoother appearance of the skin. By injecting tiny amounts of Botox under the skin, it helps to relax the muscles and tighten the skin, resulting in the elimination of large pores.
As the Botox only works superficially under the skin and not in the muscles, your facial movements will not be affected. When injected superficially in the dermis, it shrinks the pores and reduces oil production. You will notice that your skin becomes smoother and clearer, with noticeable improvements in your skin texture, after the treatment. With smoother, clearer skin, you will get less wrinkles and fine lines and fewer acne breakouts too.
Are there any side effects?
As this Botox treatment may require several tiny injections on different areas of the face, you may get tiny red bumps on the face temporarily. Sometimes, you may experience some bruising at the injection site. This is pefectly normal as the skin redness and swelling should subside within a couple of hours.
In rare cases, when Botox is injected too close to the eyelids for crow’s feet, the product may affect the muscle that lifts the upper eyelid. This can cause temporary drooping of the eyelid (ptosis). While the effect cannot be instantly reversed, it will gradually improve on its own as the Botox wears off over a few weeks. In the meantime, your doctor may prescribe special eye drops (such as apraclonidine) to help lift the eyelid until normal muscle strength returns. Choosing an experienced injector greatly reduces this risk.
How often Do I have to repeat Botox treatment?
Although you will see good results in 1 session, you will see better, longer-lasting results if you repeat the treatment for another 2-3 more sessions, 4 weeks apart.
Is Botox Treatment Commonly Available in Singapore?
In Singapore, Botox treatment has become one of the most popular non-surgical aesthetic procedures for both men and women seeking smoother, refined skin. Performed by qualified doctors in licensed aesthetic clinics, Botox works by relaxing targeted facial muscles to soften fine lines, wrinkles, and expression lines. Beyond wrinkle reduction, it can also help to refine skin texture, minimise pores, and control excess oil, giving the skin a polished, matte appearance.
While Botox treatment in Singapore is common and accessible, it remains a medical procedure that should only be performed by experienced doctors. A proper consultation ensures that the treatment is tailored to your facial anatomy, muscle activity, and desired outcome. Selecting a clinic known for its medical expertise, patient safety, and natural-looking results helps ensure your experience is both effective and safe – revealing refreshed, youthful skin without compromising expression.
