Botox results typically last 3 to 4 months for most patients. Areas with stronger muscle activity, such as the forehead and around the eyes, may metabolise Botox more quickly, while areas like the jaw (for slimming) or neck can last slightly longer — up to 5–6 months. Regular treatments every 3–4 months help maintain consistent results and, over time, may allow for longer intervals between sessions.
Botox can safely treat forehead lines, frown lines (glabellar lines) between the brows, crow's feet around the eyes, bunny lines on the nose, lip lines, chin dimpling, neck bands (platysmal bands), and jawline contouring/masseter reduction for face slimming. Botox is also used therapeutically for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in the armpits, hands, and feet.
Botox pricing in Malaysia varies by treatment area, units required, and the brand used. Per-unit pricing typically ranges from RM30–RM80. A full forehead and frown line treatment (15–30 units) costs approximately RM500–RM1,500. Masseter jaw slimming (20–50 units per side) ranges from RM800–RM2,500. At Vivardi Clinics, all Botox treatments are performed by LCP-certified doctors using verified products (Allergan, Dysport, or Xeomin).
Botox injections use very fine needles, and most patients describe the sensation as a brief pinch lasting 1–2 seconds per injection point. Topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand if you are sensitive. The entire treatment takes 10–20 minutes with no downtime — most patients return to work immediately. Mild redness or small raised bumps at injection sites resolve within 30–60 minutes.
Botox has an excellent safety record when administered by trained, LCP-certified doctors using verified, pharmacy-sourced products. Rare risks include temporary bruising, headache, or asymmetry that resolves with the medication. Serious complications are extremely rare and almost always linked to counterfeit products or untrained providers. At Vivardi Clinics, we use only genuine, government-approved Botox from licensed distributors.
