My First Ever Botox Experience

Hey guys! Today I wanted to share with you, my Botox experience with SL Clinic. I'm so glad to have made the decision to get my imperfections fixed.

Not something I would usually write about but the good stuff must be shared!! So for those who don't know what botox is,

Botox is an effective treatment for reducing jawline caused by enlarged muscles. These muscles along the jaw are used to chew and clench the teeth, and are commonly enlarged if you clench or grind your teeth while sleeping. Non-surgical jaw reduction with Botox is a solution for those who would like to smooth and more feminine facial shape. So it's not only for the older generation like the stereotype says. 

Long gone are the days of dodgy operators poking your face with way too much Botox and making you look like either a wax doll or a very surprised wax doll. These days the doses are much smaller and in Singapore only available from reputable aesthetic clinics and doctors. 

I made the decision to do it because one of my concerns was a chubby face and a friend of mine convinced me that it would make all the difference. Truthfully enough, it did:))) I've been for two sessions at SkinLab so far, where I met Dr Chua.

During the first session, Dr Chua asked me about my concerns before making suggestions and shared the different processes with me. I have always heard about botox but I've been skeptical on how much of a difference it would actually make on me. After feeling my jaw, Dr Chua said it would work as it was muscles, that I had on my jaw and not just 'a square jaw line'. WHAT?! So yeah, it happened:)

The process:

One of my greatest concerns was PAIN. However, I felt little to no pain when getting jabbed.You feel a small pinch each time, but again - an experienced doctor can control the needle. I was crazy nervous since this was my virgin experience, thankful for Dr Chua's comforting words:')

It's FAR less painful than a regular injection cos the needle doesn't go in that far and you're not injecting a whole syringe of fluid in one spot. (That's part of what causes pain during a jab.) Whole process only took about 10 minutes or so. 

 HAHA look at my 'no kick' face

Results:

You won’t really see or feel any effect for the first 12 hours or so. The change is gradual and at the 6th to 8th week,At 3-4 months you reach max "slimness" when your jaw muscles are atrophied (shrunken) to the max. Depending on your body the result easily lasts a year.

Ok so here's the long-awaited before and after photo!

*Disclamer: NONE of the photos in this post are edited AT ALL so what you see is what you get and totally raw*

After the 2nd session

You can really see the difference in my chubby cheeks and jaw line:O

People around you won't notice the change that easily since the change is gradual, but eventually quite significant. So far I haven't gotten any questions like "Did you get something done?" and more of "Have you lost weight?".

Really pleased with the results and I can't wait to go back soon:)
