Botox is now one of the best-known brands of all, having last year overtaken Viagra as the world's most recognised pharmaceutical name.
Most people now associate Botox treatment with reducing facial lines and wrinkles - especially frown lines and crow's feet. But there are many other wonderful cosmetic uses for Botox...
"The Botox Browlift"
Botox can be used to create a subtle elevation of sagging eyebrows, and additionally, careful placement of Botox injections can actually reshape your eyebrows!
This can be achieved because there are many different facial muscles which act on the eyebrows. Botox is used to reduce the power of the muscles which normally cause the eyebrow to be pulled down, and thus elevation is achieved.
The converse of this is that a poorly-done Botox treatment can cause the eyebrows and even eyelids to sag, creating a "tired" look. This is why you should always insist on a highly experienced doctor to perform your Botox treatment. Bioscor's physicians all have many years of Botox experience, and have performed thousands of treatments. In fact, more Botox treatments are done at Bioscor than at any other clinic in Shanghai!
"Botox Slim-Face"
The squared-off jawline is a very common occurrence, particularly in Asians, and is often due to a tendency for the chewing muscles (masseters) to be bulkier in this racial group. But did you know that these muscles can be treated with Botox to slim the lower face, creating a more desirable heart-shaped appearance? Botox Slim-Face is simple yet surprisingly effective, and has proved very popular with our Asian clientele.
Botox for the lower face
Carefully-targeted Botox treatments can be used to reshape a "witchy" or "popply" chin, or to reduce the unwelcome line which sometimes develops between chin and lower lip. Botox can also be used to reverse the down-turned mouth corners which are found in some older people.
Botox for sweaty armpits
This can be a godsend for sweaty clients. A simple Botox treatment can greatly reduce sweat production in the armpit area. The treatment is often undertaken at the start of summer, and will generally provide relief from sweating throughout the hot season.
