Botulinum Toxin
肉毒杆菌素

Botulinum toxin, or more commonly known as botox, is often used to reduce wrinkles and creases on skin. However, it can also be used as a jaw slimming treatment.

Women tend not to want a strong, masculine jaw. Genetics have always been attributed to the cause of a strong jawline, but intense chewing, excessive grinding and frequent movement of the muscles are also contributing factors.

For those seeking a longer-lasting and non-invasive solution than make-up and surgery, Cove’s Botox treatment may be an option.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

When will I see results?

You may begin to notice a visible smoothing of frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines within 24 to 48 hours, with full results in 30 days lasting up to 4 months for moderate to severe frown lines.

Is the treatment painful?

Some patients receiving BOTOX® Cosmetic report the injections feel like a pinch.

Is there any downtime?

Minimal downtime is required, which means that you can resume your daily activities making it a suitable lunchtime treatment for some as well.

What can I expect?

During the procedure, a numbing cream may be applied and botulinum toxin is then injected into the particular area where facial muscle reside. This relaxes and weakens the muscle over time leading to a reduction in size for the jaw area and smoother skin for the upper face area. *Do note that individual results may vary.
