You stress. You squint. You concentrate. Daily facial expressions and the normal ageing process all leave their mark, often making you appear sad, tired – even angry.
A series of anti wrinkle or Btx-injections can erase and soften frown lines, crow’s feet, chin creases and neck banding - giving you a very natural, refreshed, rejuvenated and smooth appearance but still allow you to smile and animate naturally.
The anti wrinkle serum works by temporarily blocking the signal impulse between the nerve endings and the muscle and weakening the muscle that produces the facial lines.
Initially treatments will be needed every three to six months, but fewer treatments are required as time passes and in some cases frowning habits are erased completely. This treatment is also often used with other products such as dermal fillers to rejuvenate and reshape the face (Non surgical Face Advanced section) .
Patients contemplating an anti wrinkle treatment for the first time can relax in the care of our practitioners at Shape. We have the experience and aesthetic skills to ensure patients are never over treated – an approach which can result in the all too common “frozen” face appearance.
This commitment is in keeping with Shape’s approach to all cosmetic treatments: “Everyone will notice, no-one will know”.
- The most common treatment areas for anti wrinkle treatments are
- Crows feet

While Btx injection is most commonly used to treat wrinkles, Dr Liew is a global leader and a master consultant in non surgical facial enhancement techniques and has pioneered and extended its use to a range of other procedures – from total facial re-shaping to Btx face “lifts." (Face Advanced)
Btx injections can also be used to control excessive sweating in the armpits (hyperhidrosis): (Body) section for more details.
