Advanced Medical Botox
The Advanced Medical Botox technique differs significantly from the standard Botulinum Toxin (Botox) approach in several ways, focusing on precision, customisation, face and body contouring, and expanded therapeutic applications.
What makes an Advanced Medical Botox procedure different from the average?
Purpose & Application
Traditional Botox procedures are primarily used for basic cosmetic purposes, such as reducing fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead, Crow’s Feet, and frown lines.
Advanced Medical Botox goes beyond aesthetics to address medical conditions like migraines, TMJ (jaw pain), Hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating), muscle spasms, chronic pain.
When treating aesthetic zones, with the Advanced Medical Botox technique, every aspect of each patient’s anatomy is thoroughly studied in order to provide a carefully tailored experience with natural looking results.
Injection Techniques & Customization
Traditional Botox typically follows a standardized injection pattern with common dosage amounts based on average facial anatomy.
Advanced Medical Botox uses highly specialised techniques that consider individual anatomy, muscle function, and specific medical conditions. Injections are placed more strategically to achieve therapeutic results rather than just aesthetic improvements.
Dosage & Injection Sites
Traditional Botox uses smaller, fixed, and often heavily diluted doses in superficial muscles to reduce wrinkles by relaxing targeted areas.
Advanced Medical Botox uses varying doses tailored to the patient’s medical and anatomical needs, often injecting intramuscularly, into deeper muscles or multiple areas to treat pain, muscle tightness, or different conditions.
Patient-Specific Approach
Traditional Botox is often a one-size-fits-all approach with minor adjustments.
Advanced Medical Botox requires a deeper understanding of anatomy with years of formal training.
Practitioners & Training
Traditional Botox is often performed by dermatologists, cosmetic doctors, or trained injectors focused on beauty enhancements.
Advanced Medical Botox techniques can only be administered by specialists such as surgeons, neurologists, or advanced-trained aesthetic physicians with years of experience in human anatomy.
Results & Effects
Traditional Botox is aimed at softening wrinkles and giving a youthful look, usually lasting around 3-4 months.
Advanced Medical Botox can provide customized natural looking long lasting results, pain relief, improved muscle function, and therapeutic benefits.
Botox Zones
Botulinum Toxin (Botox) can be injected into various areas of the face and body to achieve different aesthetic and medical results.
Beyond aesthetics, Botox is also used to treat conditions like excessive sweating (Hyperhidrosis), as well as muscle spasms, migraines, teeth grinding (Bruxism), and many more conditions
Face Zones
Forehead
Softens horizontal lines across the forehead caused by repetitive facial expressions, creating a smoother appearance.
11’s / Glabella
Reduces vertical frown lines between the eyebrows, often called “11 lines,” for a more relaxed and youthful look.
Crow’s Feet
Targets fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes, helping to smooth wrinkles and refresh the eye area.
Brow Lift
Lifts and subtly elevates the brows by relaxing specific muscles, giving the eyes a more open and lifted appearance.
Bunny Lines
Minimizes fine lines on the sides of the nose that appear when scrunching the face or smiling.
Softens fine lines and can reduce the appearance of under-eye creases for a more refreshed look.
Under Eyes / Wedding Botox
Lip Flip
Enhances the upper lip’s shape by relaxing the muscles around the mouth, making the lip appear slightly fuller.
Gummy Smile
Reduces excessive gum visibility when smiling by relaxing the upper lip, allowing it to sit lower.
Marionette Lines
Softens the downturned lines running from the corners of the mouth to the chin, preventing a sad or tired look.
Jowls
Helps lift and contour the jawline by relaxing the muscles that pull the lower face downward.
Mentalis (Chin Botox)
Smooths chin dimpling and creasing, improving the overall shape and balance of the lower face.
Face Slimming (Masseter Botox)
Reduces the size of the masseter muscles (jaw muscles), creating a slimmer, more contoured face while also helping with teeth grinding (bruxism).
Nose Botox
Can be used to refine the nasal tip, reduce nostril flaring, or smooth out subtle bumps for a more balanced nose shape.
Body Zones
Barbie Botox / Traps Botox
Injected into the trapezius muscles to create a more elongated, feminine neck and shoulder line while also relieving muscle tension.
Nefertiti Botox / Neck Botox
Targets the platysmal bands in the neck to provide a lifting and tightening effect, enhancing jawline definition and reducing sagging.
Breast Botox
Relaxing the pectoral muscles can create a temporary lifting effect on the chest, though results are subtle compared to surgical options.
Slender Calves Botox
Reduces the size of the calf muscles for a more streamlined, elongated leg appearance, often desired for a slimmer silhouette.
Slender Arms Botox
Injected into the upper arm muscles to create a more toned and slender arm appearance while also helping with muscle tension.
Additional Zones
Nose Slimming
Botox can be injected into specific nasal muscles to create a subtle slimming effect, refine the nasal tip, or reduce nostril flaring.
Alopecia
Botox may help prevent hair loss or improve hair regrowth by increasing blood flow to the scalp and reducing inflammation.
Scars
Botox can relax the surrounding muscles of healing scars, minimizing tension and allowing for smoother, less noticeable scar formation.
Skin Texture
Micro-Botox (Botox injected in very small amounts across the skin) can refine pores, reduce oil production, and create a smoother, more even skin texture.
Migraines
Botox is FDA-approved for chronic migraines, as it helps relax muscles and block pain signals, reducing both the frequency and severity of headaches.
Bruxism
Injected into the masseter muscles, Botox can relax jaw clenching and teeth grinding, alleviating tension and preventing damage to the teeth and jaw.
Hyperhidrosis
Botox effectively reduces excessive sweating by blocking nerve signals to overactive sweat glands, commonly used for the underarms, hands, feet, and scalp.
