FAQs

• How much does Botox cost in Malaysia

  On average, a Botox treatment in Malaysia cost around RM500 to RM2000. Prices for cosmetic procedures like Botox can vary based on factors such as the location of the clinic, the reputation of the practitioner, and the number of units of Botox required.

• How long does Botox last?

  In general, the effects of Botox typically last for about three to four months. The duration of the effects of Botox (Botulinum Toxin) can vary from person to person, and it depends on factors such as the individual’s metabolism, the treated area, and the amount of Botox used.

• How long untill I see results from Botox treatment?

  The onset of results after a Botox treatment can vary among individuals, but in general, people typically start noticing changes within a few days to a week. However, it can take up to two weeks to see the full effects.

  Here’s a rough timeline:

  Initial Onset (a few days): Some individuals may begin to notice a reduction in muscle movement and a smoothing of wrinkles within a few days after the Botox injection.

  Progressive Improvement (up to two weeks): The full effects of Botox injections usually become apparent within one to two weeks. During this time, the muscles gradually relax, and wrinkles or fine lines become less pronounced.

• How many treatments of botox do I need?

  The number of Botox treatments a person needs can vary based on individual factors, such as the treatment area, the extent of muscle movement, and personal preferences. In general, Botox is not a permanent solution, and its effects typically last for about three to four months. Therefore, individuals often require regular maintenance treatments to sustain the desired results.

  The frequency of Botox treatments is often determined by factors such as:

  Treatment Area: Different areas of the face may require varying amounts of Botox. For example, the forehead, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows may have different optimal dosages.

  Muscle Activity: Individuals with stronger muscle activity in the treated area may require more frequent treatments compared to those with less active muscles.

  Metabolism: Individual metabolic rates can influence how quickly the body breaks down and eliminates Botox, affecting the duration of its effects.

  Personal Preferences: Some individuals prefer to maintain a more natural look and may choose to receive Botox treatments less frequently, while others may opt for more frequent treatments for a consistently smoother appearance.

• What are the side effects of botox on cheeks?

  Botox injections, when administered by a qualified and experienced healthcare professional, are generally considered safe. However, like any medical procedure, there can be potential side effects. It’s essential to be aware of these possible side effects, especially when considering Botox injections on the cheeks. Common side effects may include:

  Bruising: Bruising at the injection site is a common side effect and usually resolves on its own within a few days to a week. Avoiding blood-thinning medications before the procedure can help reduce the risk of bruising.

  Swelling: Some temporary swelling may occur at the injection site, but it typically subsides within a short period.

  Redness: Mild redness at the injection site is possible and usually resolves quickly.

  Pain or Discomfort: Some people may experience mild pain or discomfort at the injection site. This is typically temporary.

  Headache: Headaches are a possible side effect, but they are generally mild and transient.

  Drooping or Asymmetry: If not properly administered, Botox can potentially cause temporary drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow. This can often be corrected with additional injections or will resolve as the effects of Botox wear off.

  Allergic Reactions: While rare, allergic reactions to Botox can occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing, hives, or swelling of the face and throat.
