Botulinum toxin is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for expression lines. Administered carefully by an MOH-licensed doctor, it softens dynamic wrinkles while preserving natural facial movement.
Botulinum toxin (brand examples used at IVI include BOTOX®, Dysport® and Xeomin® — all administered by a doctor) is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for expression lines. It is a widely studied non-surgical cosmetic procedure, with a well-established safety profile spanning more than 20 years of clinical use.
At IVI Medical Clinic, we only use pharmaceutical-grade botulinum toxin products and every injection is performed by a MOH-licensed doctor. Our approach is conservative and precise — we preserve natural movement while smoothing unwanted lines.
The procedure takes 15–30 minutes depending on the number of areas treated. Your doctor will assess your muscle activity and determine the precise injection points and dosage for your face and goals. A fine needle is used for minimal discomfort — most patients compare it to a small pinch.
No anaesthesia is required, though we can apply a topical numbing cream for sensitive patients. You can return to most normal activities immediately after treatment.
Results typically become visible at 3–5 days and reach full effect at 2 weeks. We schedule a a follow-up review appointment at 2 weeks to assess results and make any fine adjustments if needed.
Duration varies by individual and the area treated, but most patients find results last 3–6 months. With regular treatment, results may last longer as the muscles gradually weaken over time.
