Forehead lines
Horizontal forehead lines from frontalis muscle contraction. Dose matched to brow position to avoid heavy-brow look. From SGD 350.
ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTION (BOTULINUM TOXIN TYPE A) AT NEXUS
Want anti-wrinkle injection that softens lines without freezing your face?
Anti-wrinkle injection does not freeze the face. Dr Samantha places it strategically: forehead for smoothing, masseter for jaw contour, Nefertiti for neck definition, DermaLift for skin texture. Onset in five to seven days, peak at two weeks. Complimentary review included.

Why anti-wrinkle placement matters more than dose for a natural look
Anti-wrinkle injection (botulinum toxin type A) blocks the nerve signal that tells specific facial muscles to contract. Without the signal, the muscle stays relaxed and the overlying dynamic lines soften. The effect is temporary; the body breaks down the toxin over 3 to 4 months, after which muscle function returns.
- Dynamic lines respond best: forehead lines, glabella frown lines, crow's feet, bunny lines, gummy smile. These are caused by repeated muscle contraction.
- Static lines (deep grooves at rest) respond less. Anti-wrinkle injection softens the muscle component; remaining static lines often need a complementary modality (filler, skin booster, microneedling RF).
- Masseter (jaw slimming): relaxes the chewing muscle, reducing jaw bulk and softening lower-face contour over 6-8 weeks.
- Nefertiti technique: dotted injections along the platysma muscle band of the neck lift the jawline border by relaxing the downward muscle pull.
- Brow lift: micro-dose at the lateral brow can lift the brow tail subtly without changing the rest of the forehead.
Dose, placement, and depth determine whether the result reads as natural or frozen. Dr Samantha's approach is to under-treat first, review at 2 weeks, top up if needed. Most patients prefer the natural softening over maximum reduction.
How Dr Samantha treats forehead, frown, crow's feet, and jaw with one anti-wrinkle strategy
Forehead and glabella are the two most-requested areas for first-time anti-wrinkle patients. Crow's feet softens lateral eye-corner lines. Masseter shapes the jaw over 6 to 8 weeks. Nefertiti neck lift uses platysma-band injections to sharpen the jawline-border. Under-eye anti-wrinkle is a very low specialist-application dose for fine lines. Gummy smile uses a levator labii superioris micro-injection. Every variant has its own dose-matching profile; pricing for each is in the menu above.
How the Nefertiti anti-wrinkle neck lift creates a sharper jawline without surgery
Most anti-wrinkle complications come from over-treatment, not under-treatment. Dr Samantha's protocol is built around this.
- Conservative first dose: muscle-strength-matched dose, not a fixed-quantity 'unit' protocol.
- 2-week review: standard for every patient. Top-up included if the patient wants more reduction at that visit.
- Photo documentation: pre + 2-week post + 4-week post photos for tracking response across cycles.
- Asymmetry adjustment: 5-10% of patients have asymmetric muscle response. Dr Samantha adjusts dose distribution at the 2-week review.
Why DermaLift uses micro-dose anti-wrinkle for skin texture and fine lines
Suitable for
Suitable for
- Dynamic forehead, glabella, or crow's feet lines that bother the patient.
- Patients seeking jaw slimming (masseter) for face-shape change.
- Patients seeking the Nefertiti neck-lift effect for jawline definition.
- Patients comfortable with a 4-month maintenance cycle.
- Patients prioritising natural softening over maximum reduction.
Take care
Pause first
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding (standard contraindication).
- Neuromuscular conditions (myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton). Discuss with Dr Samantha first.
- Patients seeking permanent line removal. Anti-wrinkle injection is temporary; the effect wears off over 3-4 months.
- Patients with deep static lines who haven't tried complementary modalities. Dr Samantha will discuss whether filler, skin booster, or microneedling RF should layer in.
How Dr Samantha's two-week refresh review works after anti-wrinkle injection
- Step 1, 15 min
Muscle dynamics assessment + photo
Dr Samantha asks you to make specific facial expressions to assess muscle strength. Pre-injection photos under standardised lighting.
- Step 2, 5 min
Dose plan + numbing
Dose matched to muscle strength + patient goal. Topical anaesthetic optional (most patients skip it). Skin cleaned with sterile prep.
- Step 3, 5-10 min
Injection
Fine 30-32G needle, small injection at each placement point. Most patients describe it as 'a tiny pinch' per point. Total 5-15 injections depending on areas.
- Step 4, 5 min
Aftercare brief + 2-week review booking
Brief 24-hour aftercare guidance. Two-week review booked before leaving (top-up included).

Anti-wrinkle injection cadence at Nexus
| Area | Typical onset | Duration | Maintenance interval |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forehead, glabella, crow's feet | Day 3-5 visible | 3-4 months | Re-treat every 3-4 months |
| Masseter (jaw slimming) | 6-8 weeks visible | 4-6 months | Re-treat every 4-6 months |
| Nefertiti neck lift | Day 5-7 visible | 3-4 months | Re-treat every 3-4 months |
| Under-eye + gummy smile | Day 3-5 visible | 3-4 months | Re-treat every 3-4 months |
2-week review included with every first-time session. Top-up at that visit is included.
Side effects and recovery from anti-wrinkle injection
Worth knowing
Common (most patients)
- Tiny pinpoint marks at injection sites for 30-60 min, fade quickly.
- Mild headache day 1-2 (especially with glabella injection), settles with paracetamol if needed.
- Slight asymmetry in initial response that evens out by day 7-14.
Take care
Less common
- Localised bruising at one or two injection points, resolving within 5-7 days.
- Heavy-brow feel if forehead is overdosed without supporting the brow lift. Resolves naturally as effect wears off.
- Asymmetric smile after masseter injection (rare, resolves within weeks).
- Eyelid ptosis (very rare, less than 1% of patients). Settles as toxin redistributes.
Anti-wrinkle injection pricing context in Singapore
Anti-wrinkle injection pricing in Singapore varies by area and dose. Most clinics sit in the SGD 280 to SGD 600 per area band depending on brand and units used. Current per-area pricing at Nexus is shown in the treatment menu above. Anti-wrinkle injection is not Medisave-claimable in Singapore.
Aftercare for an anti-wrinkle injection session
- First 4 hours
Keep upright + active expressions
Stay upright for 4 hours. Make exaggerated facial expressions in the treated areas (frown, raise brows) to help distribution. No lying down flat.
- Day 0 to 1
Skip strenuous activity
No vigorous exercise, no facial massage, no facials, no saunas for 24 hours. Sleep face-up if possible.
- Week 2
Review + photo comparison
Two-week review with Dr Samantha. Pre vs post photo comparison. Top-up adjustments included if needed.

Scared of looking frozen? How Dr Samantha calibrates anti-wrinkle dose to keep movement natural
- Targeted muscle work: addresses dynamic lines and muscle-driven face shape that no other modality reaches.
- Under-treat-first approach: prevents the 'frozen' look that comes from one-shot max-dosing.
- 2-week review + top-up included: catches asymmetry early.
- Combinable with everything: layers into face-lift, dark-eye-circle, face-slimming protocols seamlessly.
- Reversible by time: effect wears off over 3-4 months naturally. No permanent commitment.
