Botulinum toxin is a highly purified, medically approved protein that temporarily relaxes overactive muscles and glands. When precisely administered by our trained medical team, it delivers natural-looking aesthetic results as well as effective relief for several functional and medical conditions.

At Medaesthetix Institute, every treatment is performed by a qualified medical professional and preceded by a thorough one-on-one consultation. We take a conservative, precision-first approach — enhancing your natural appearance rather than altering it, and addressing medical concerns with clinical accuracy.

Our treatments span five key areas: facial aesthetics, gummy smile correction, bruxism and jaw tension, underarm hyperhidrosis, and chronic migraine management.

A gummy smile — where a significant portion of the gum line is visible when smiling — is caused by hyperactivity of the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle, which pulls the upper lip upward excessively when smiling.

A small, precise dose of botulinum toxin placed into this muscle temporarily reduces its activity, allowing the upper lip to rest lower when smiling. The result is a more balanced, confident smile — with no surgery, no scarring and no recovery time.

The treatment takes only minutes, results develop within 5–7 days, and the improvement typically lasts 3 to 4 months. With regular maintenance, many clients find the muscle gradually requires less product over time.

Bruxism — the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, typically during sleep — places enormous strain on the jaw joints, muscles and teeth. Over time it can lead to tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, earaches and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ).

Botulinum toxin injections into the masseter muscles (the large jaw muscles responsible for chewing and clenching) significantly reduce their activity — relieving pain, preventing further dental damage and, as a welcome aesthetic benefit, creating a slimmer, more defined jawline.

Treatment takes approximately 15 minutes, requires no downtime, and typically provides 3 to 6 months of relief. Most clients notice a significant reduction in symptoms within 1 to 2 weeks of treatment.

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive, uncontrollable sweating beyond what the body needs for temperature regulation. Underarm hyperhidrosis can significantly affect quality of life — causing social anxiety, discomfort and clothing damage that deodorants and antiperspirants simply cannot control.

Botulinum toxin injections into the underarm area block the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands — effectively switching off excessive sweating in the treated area for an extended period. The treatment is safe, highly effective and requires no surgery or recovery.

Most clients experience a dramatic reduction in sweating within 2 weeks of treatment, with results lasting between 6 and 12 months — significantly longer than most other botulinum toxin applications.

Botulinum toxin is an internationally recognised, clinically proven treatment for chronic migraines — defined as 15 or more headache days per month. It works by blocking the release of pain-transmitting chemicals from nerve endings around the head and neck, interrupting the cycle of chronic migraine before it begins.

Treatment involves a series of small injections across the forehead, temples, back of the head, neck and shoulders — following a standardised protocol refined through extensive clinical research. Most clients begin to notice a reduction in migraine frequency and severity within 2 to 4 weeks of their first session.

For optimal results, treatment is typically repeated every 12 weeks. Many clients experience a progressive improvement with each treatment cycle, with some achieving a significant reduction in monthly migraine days over time.
