BOTOX CLINIC
Pattaya Thailand
Botox is a toxin (short for botulinum toxin) that has been safely formulated to treat wrinkles on the face. Fine wrinkles in areas around the eyes called crow’s feet, wrinkles by the nose known as bunny lines, and wrinkles in the smile lines near the mouth can all be treated with botox injections. Botox can also be used as a muscle relaxant by temporarily preventing muscles from contracting.
Botox is the most popular cosmetic procedure performed around the world because it’s simple, safe and effective. Botox is long lasting, but not permanent, and does NOT require surgery. Botox for fine wrinkles is injected into shallow layers of the skin with a small needle but can also be injected into deep muscles like the masseter cheek muscles and trapezius muscles around the neck and shoulders.
WHAT CAN BOTOX DO?
Remove Fine Wrinkles
Fine wrinkles are the first signs of aging that can start occurring at age 30 and further compounding as we get older. Botox is a safe and fast way to remove these wrinkles by shallow injection under the skin with a small needle.
Stop Muscle Spasms
Botox prevents muscle contraction and can stop muscles from spasming. This type of treatment is most common in the trapezius muscles that surround the neck and shoulders from office syndrome or poor posture.
Prevent Underarm Sweat
Hyperhidrosis is a condition of excessive sweating that can occur in the armpits. Botox can block the nerve signal in sweat glands and prevent excessive sweating. This procedure is long lasting but does NOT cause permanent damage to sweat glands.
Relieve Migraine Headaches
Botox can stop headaches before they even start by blocking the neurotransmitters that send pain signals to your brain. Botox has been FDA approved to treat chronic migraines, which are headaches that occur more than 15 days per month.

Botox Brands You Can Trust
FDA Approved Botulinum Toxin Imported From World Class Pharmaceutical Companies
BOTOX, USA
Made by Allergan and world renown, this is the first brand of botulinum toxin used for cosmetic application. Botox by Allergan is known to provide the longest lasting results after injection compared to all other brands. Research has shown that Botox gives the best results for wrinkles around the eyes, between the eyebrows in frown lines, in the jawline, and to reduce sweating.
NABOTA, KOREA
Nabota botox is distinctive from other brands due to the immediate effects produced after injection. The results with Nabota come fast! Nabota starts to reduce facial wrinkles within 2 days, while other brands of botox may take 5-7 days. Nabota is ideal for reshaping the face, reducing the overall size-appearance of the face, and creating the perfect V-shape.
BOTULAX, KOREA
Botulax has gained recent popularity in Thailand for being extremely affordable and made in Korea. Botulax botox is a pure protein substance certified by the Thai FDA and most popularly injected to reduce wrinkles in the jawline and between eyebrows in frown lines. The effects are immediate like most Korean brands but Botulax will last shorter than Botox by Allergan.
DYSPORT, UK
Dysport from England UK has a molecular structure different from other brands of Botox around the world. Dysport has smaller molecules and are more suitable for injections that reduce the jaw size, calf muscle, and excess sweating in the armpits and palm of the hands. Dysport produces very clear and visible results immediately after injection.
HOW BOTOX WORKS
First we must understand how wrinkles are formed. When our facial muscles contract, a chain reaction of neurotransmitters take place. Synaptic vesicles fuse with plasma membranes and specifically target snare proteins in the nerve terminal. Once this fusion occurs, muscle contraction is activated, thus causing wrinkles to appear in our facial expressions.
Botulinum toxin, commonly known as botox, is a type of polypeptide composed of a light and heavy chain. Once injected, botox enters the synaptic vesicles and follows the same course of chain reactions to reach the nerve terminal. Once inside, the light chain of botox breaks free from the plasma membrane and deactivates snare proteins from triggering muscle contraction. This causes temporary paralysis of facial muscles and prevent wrinkles to appear in our facial expressions.

Step-by-Step Procedures
Clear your schedule for 45 minutes – 1 hour and relax in the treatment room. If you are in a rush, we can perform botox as fast as 15 minutes with an appointment.
CLEANSING
Our therapist will clean your face with cleansing milk and remove makeup, creams, or any other possible contaminants. Next, we will perform Deep Oxygen Cleansing with specialized equipment. We want your face completely clean to the deepest pore prior to injection.
ANESTHETIC CREAM (optional)
Numbing cream can be applied to help reduce pain during injection. Numbing cream contains a medical grade anesthetic called lidocaine that activates on the face after 10-15 minutes from being applied. Once the numbing cream has taken effect, the Therapist will clean the face once more and sterilize with alcohol.
INJECTION SITE MARKING
The Doctor will mark each injection point on your face with a skin pencil. The therapist will hold a mirror for you to see all the injection points and review the plan with the doctor once again.
BOTOX INJECTIONS
The Doctor will gently administer all the injections according to the procedure plan; sterilizing each point with alcohol before injection. The Therapist will use cold ice compression on each point before injection to help reduce possible pain as well. Patients have the option to hold a mirror and watch the injections or simply close their eyes and endure the procedure. Once all the injections are complete, the Therapist will compress the face with sterilized gauze and stop any minimal bleeding points.
FACIAL MASK
To finalize the procedure, our Therapist will apply a soothing facial mask for 15 minutes. Included in the price of procedure is our standard Hya Collagen Mask. For an additional fee, patients can upgrade to a 24K GOLD MASK, GREEN TEA MASK, ALOE VERA MASK, or ROSE JELLY MASK.
After Care Instructions
We want the best treatment results possible! The following instructions will help maximize your results and minimize the risk of bruising and swelling.
♦ You do NOT have to take off work or skip school and you can return to your normal activities but make sure to relax for the rest of the day and maintain a normal heart rate.
♦ Leave your face alone and avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the injection areas for at least 24 hours.
♦ Wait at least 24 hours to exercise. Physical activity increases blood flow and this could potentially spread the botulinum toxin into other areas or reduce its effectiveness. Exercising can also increase the chances of bruising.
♦ Skip makeup for the next 24 hours. Applying makeup will rub the skin, which increase the chances of spreading the botulinum toxin, and reducing its effectiveness.
♦ Sit upright for at least 4 hours after treatment. Laying down or bending over can increase the chances of spreading the botox and promote bruising.
♦ Tell the Doctor all the medicines you take. Some medicines affect the blood and can increase the chance of bruising after treatment. The Doctor can tell you when it’s safe to start taking certain medicines again.
♦ Do NOT drink alcohol for at least 24 hours. Alcohol increases the risk of bruising.
♦ Do NOT get other skin treatments for at least 24 hours. Avoid treatments like facials, facial massages, facial exfoliating scrubs, and dermal fillers. Botox needs time to settle before other treatments can be done.
♦ Try to sleep on your back. Avoid sleeping directly on your face laying down. This will minimize the physical pressure and let the Botox settle into your muscles.
♦ Avoid heat for at least 24 hours after treatment. This includes the sun, hot showers, tanning beds, hot tubs, and saunas. Excessive heat can increase blood flow and flushing to the face which can promote bruising.
♦ Normal side-effects include redness, tenderness, and swelling. Side-effects like this will normally disappear after 1 day. Bruising is possible for up to 1 week after treatment but can disappear faster with cold ice compression.
♦ Serious side-effects include extreme muscle weakness, trouble swallowing, difficulty speaking, difficulty breathing, and vision impairment. These side-effects are rare, but if you experience any of these, please seek medical help immediately.
