Why I Had Botox - KOWAYO AESTHETIC

You’ve probably know Botox and it's pretty common nowadays.

People either love it or think it’s a controversial subject.

I personally don’t really see any difference in getting such procedure, having hair done, teeth whitening, braces, getting a eyebrow embroidery, or having laser/ mole removal.. They are all beauty treatments.

To be honest, I have always been a little bothered by my so-called unbalance and wide jawline. My right jawline is slightly squarish and 'muscular' than the left side. Though it's not very noticeable, this has been a little secret I kept to myself.  

This picture was taken unexpectedly, and you can see how unexpectedly huge is my jawbone!

So two weeks ago I picked up my courage and visited Dr Wong Kee Seng at Kowayo Aesthetic.

Dr Wong Kee Seng is a physician registered with the Singapore Medical Council (SMC). He obtained his post-graduate qualification MRCP from the Royal College of Physicians, United Kingdom. With special interest in dermatology, he completed his study in Diploma of Practical Dermatology in Cardiff, UK. He is a member of the American Academy of Aesthetic and also an appointed trainer for dermal filler company. A seasoned veteran in the aesthetic arena, he will customize a set of fuss-free, effective & non-invasive treatment to achieve your desired results.

  

After the consultation he suggested having the Non-surgical Jaw Slimming Reduction procedure (Botox) will help me to achieve a natural looking V shape face.

This treatment is suitable for faces that are bigger at the jaws, often caused by bulky masseter muscles causing the face to look rounder, bigger and squarish. It involves a simple administration of tiny pricks into the jaw muscles with no downtime at all. This treatment will also help with this by relaxing the jaw muscles.

People sometimes believe that in order to correct square jaws, invasive surgery such as cutting of the jaw bone is necessary. The reality however is that non-surgical methods of jaw slimming are safer and as effective in achieving face slimming.

I am absolutely in love with my jaw slimming treatment.

For best results, this treatment can be combined with other Kowayo face contouring techniques to achieve the popular V-shape face.

When I told people that Im getting Botox, their initial reaction was,

"Why?! You are so young!"

"You need meh...."

"For WHAT!"

True…I know I look very young lah, but in fact Im already hitting my Mid 30s soon (sad).

Not everyone likes to talk about their enhancements because no one wants to admit if they take those extra measures to delete and diffuse those fine lines and wrinkles they have gathered over time.

There are still areas of my face that would be in much worse shape had I not take care of it. So far, there is nothing out there that is a cream or serum that even comes close to creating a V-shape face/ diminishing my fine lines.

Because of the ugly lines starting to appear on my forehead I don't dare to apply mascara.. YES! You didn't see wrongly. I don't dare to apply mascara... because either your mouth stretched opened and eyebrows lifted so you can put on your mascara and these action tend to make deep forehead crease =( 

Wrinkles and fine lines are also a normal part of ageing. As you grow older, skin cell renewal slows down and you skin becomes drier, less elastic and less supple. The muscles underneath your skin also begin to sag, causing even more creases and folds to appear on the skin surface.

To help diminish these fines lines and wrinkles I went for consultation at Kowayo Aesthetic 

Fortunately, there is a simple and effective non-surgical way by injecting botulinum toxin to rejuvenate your skin, helping to make it appear smoother and younger.

I can honestly say the pain is tolerable.

I looked entirely as if I had nothing done. No one would ever know what I did that day.

 

Thank you Dr Wong!

What is botulinum toxin?

Botulinum toxin is a protein produced by a bacterium called Clostridium

botulinum. When injected in small concentrations into the skin, botulinum toxin

type A has been shown to be effective and safe in improving the appearance

of frown lines. 

How does botulinum toxin work?

Botulinum toxin is a nerve-blocking agent. Normally, a muscle contracts in

response to a signal from a nerve. When botulinum toxin is injected into the

facial muscles, however, the toxin temporarily blocks these signals from

reaching the muscles, thus preventing them from contracting. This allows

dynamic wrinkles or expression lines to diminish and smooth out. By relaxing

facial muscles, botulinum toxin can also help prevent the formation of more

permanent wrinkles i.e. those that persist even without muscle contraction.

Botulinum toxin treatment can improve the appearance of expression lines

and prevent the formation of more permanent, deep wrinkles that make you

look older. However, it will not help erase fine or wrinkles that are not due to

facial expressions, such as those due to skin ageing, sun exposure or

lifestyle. 

How is botulinum toxin administered?

Treating wrinkles with botulinum toxin is a simple procedure that takes only a

few minutes, There is minimal discomfort, and most people can return to their

normal activities right after receiving treatment.

Using a small, acupuncture-sized needle, a small amount of botulinum toxin is

injected directly into the muscle around expression lines, i.e. the muscles that

cause the creases when frowning, smiling, or looking surprised. The

procedure does not require sedation or the administration of local anesthetic.

• The site of injection, dose and frequency of treatment will be determined by

your doctor depending on the severity of your wrinkles and your response to

treatment. 

Q: Is it safe? Are there side effects?

There is substantial scientific evidence demonstrating that the use of

botulinum toxin in treating frown lines has a favourable safely and tolerability

profile. Most side effects experienced by patients are brief, and linked to the

injections, i.e. pain at the injection site, slight bleeding, redness and bruising.

These are usually short-lived and resolve within a few hours of injection. In

rare cases, ptosis (dropping of the upper eyelids may occur), but this is

temporary and will usually resolve in a few weeks. 

Q: Is there anything I should avoid after the treatment?

There’s no downtime after treatment and you can return to your normal

routine right away. However, avoid massaging or applying pressure on the

treated area for at least 4 hours after your injections. Also keep your head

upright, avoid alcohol, heat or sun exposure and rigorous exercise in order to

avoid temporary selling or bruising. 

Q: When will I see the effect?

Generally you will notice a difference within 3-7 days, with the greatest effect

visible about 2-3 weeks after the treatment. 

Q: How long will the effect last?

Each patient’s response may vary, but in most individuals, the effect of the

first treatment may last for 3-6 months. The muscle action will slowly return,

and as the lines and wrinkles begin to re-appear, a repeat treatment will be

required to maintain effect. Repeat treatments may have a longer effect. 

Q: How many times can I undergo treatment?

In general, treatment can be administered indefinitely. But because the

smoothing effect of botulinum toxin injections is not permanent, you may need

tow to four treatments each year to maintain the effect.
