Botox — Single Area

A single-area botulinum toxin injection targeting one zone of facial expression — typically crow's feet, forehead lines, or frown lines. Administered by OT.CO's aesthetic medicine team with precise dosing tailored to facial anatomy.

The single-area botox treatment at OT.CO Clinic addresses one defined zone of dynamic facial wrinkling. The most commonly treated areas are the glabellar complex (frown lines between the brows), horizontal forehead lines, and lateral canthal lines (crow's feet around the eyes). During the initial consultation, the treating physician assesses muscle mass, skin thickness, and the patient's desired outcome to determine the optimal injection points and unit count. OT.CO uses premium botulinum toxin formulations sourced from established pharmaceutical manufacturers. The injection technique follows anatomically precise placement into the target muscles responsible for the wrinkles, using fine-gauge needles that minimise discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief series of pinpricks rather than sustained pain, and no anaesthesia is typically required. Results begin to appear within 3 to 5 days as the neurotoxin takes effect, with full results visible at approximately 14 days post-treatment. The smoothing effect typically lasts 3 to 6 months depending on individual metabolism, muscle activity, and the area treated. Patients who maintain regular treatment intervals often find that results last progressively longer over time as the targeted muscles gradually weaken from reduced use. The 20-minute appointment includes a face-to-face assessment, treatment, and post-care instructions. Patients are advised to avoid lying flat for 4 hours after injection and to refrain from intense exercise for 24 hours. No downtime is required and patients can return to normal activities immediately.
