Botox and anti-wrinkle injections
Precise, restrained anti-wrinkle injections that soften frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet while keeping natural expression. A 20-minute treatment with no downtime, offered in Maldives.
How Botox works
Botox relaxes the small muscles that crease the skin when you frown, raise your brows or squint. With the muscle softened, the overlying lines smooth out and stop deepening. At the right dose it dampens the movement without freezing the face, so you still look like yourself, just more rested.
Areas we treat
The three classic upper-face areas are frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines, and crow’s feet around the eyes. We also treat a gummy smile, jaw slimming, neck and jawline contouring, excessive sweating and chronic migraine prevention on request. Every plan is mapped to your muscle pattern at consultation.
The session and aftercare
A few tiny injections take under a minute. Results begin at 3 to 5 days and settle fully at 10 to 14 days, with a complimentary two-week review. Avoid lying flat or exercising for a few hours; everything else is normal same-day.
Who it suits
- Frown, forehead or eye lines that bother you
- Anyone wanting subtle softening rather than a frozen look
- Preventative treatment for early dynamic lines
- Patients under bright Maldivian sun who squint often
Precision dosing for a natural result
Botox, or botulinum toxin, temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles to soften dynamic lines such as forehead creases, frown lines and crows feet, with Dr. Alaa mapping your individual muscle movement pattern at consultation rather than applying a fixed dose. This tailored approach is what keeps expression natural rather than frozen, and most patients see full effect within 10-14 days, lasting roughly 3-4 months before a top-up is needed.
What results look like over time
Softening begins around day 3-5, reaches its full effect by day 10-14, and typically lasts 3-4 months before muscle activity gradually returns.
Often paired with
Often paired with dermal filler in the cheeks or jawline in the same visit, for patients who want lines softened and volume restored together.
Who might want to wait
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a neuromuscular condition, this is not suitable, and Dr. Alaa will discuss safe alternatives instead.
Common myth
“Will Botox freeze my face?” – Not at the doses used here. The aim is softened movement, not stillness, so you can still raise your eyebrows and look surprised.

Frequently asked questions
What is Botox?
Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes the small muscles responsible for expression lines, softening frown lines, crow's feet and forehead creases without affecting the rest of your face.
How much does Botox cost in the Maldives?
Pricing depends on the areas treated and the units your muscles need. After a short consultation we share an exact, no-obligation quote on WhatsApp.
How long does Botox last?
On average 3 to 4 months, and often a little longer once you have had a few treatments and the muscle stays softer.
Does Botox hurt?
Most people feel quick pinpricks that are over in under a minute. Numbing cream is available if you are needle-anxious.
When will I see the results?
Softening usually begins at 3 to 5 days, with the full effect at 10 to 14 days. We review you at two weeks.
Will Botox make me look frozen?
No. We dose conservatively so you keep natural expression. The frozen look comes from over-treatment, not from Botox itself.
What are the risks and side effects of Botox?
Botulinum toxin has decades of clinical use and a strong safety record when placed by a doctor at the right dose. Temporary bruising or a mild headache are the most common effects; a dropped brow or asymmetry is rare and almost always linked to inexperienced dosing rather than the treatment itself.
Does Botox work differently in hot, sunny climates?
No, heat and sun do not change how Botox works, though sweating heavily right after treatment is best avoided for a few hours. Daily SPF still matters more than the injections for keeping results looking fresh in Maldivian sun.
