Neurotoxin Injections in Alor Setar, Kedah
In short: Neurotoxin (botulinum toxin) injections temporarily relax targeted muscles to soften wrinkles, slim the jawline and reduce excessive sweating. At Loh & Celine Skin Specialist Clinic, Alor Setar, every treatment is performed by an LCP-certified doctor, led by a consultant dermatologist (pakar kulit).
A session takes 15–30 minutes. Results appear in 3–7 days, reach full effect at 14 days and typically last 3–6 months, with no downtime.

1. What Is a Neurotoxin Injection?
Neurotoxin blocks the nerve signals that tell a muscle to contract. The treated muscle relaxes, so the lines it creates soften. The effect is temporary and wears off gradually over several months.
Several areas can be treated in one session. It should only be given by a trained doctor — precise placement is what gives natural results and avoids side effects.
