wrinkle Botox at Min Clinic Cheongdam, Seoul

What it is and how it is done

• The treatment takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Changes may begin to appear in about 3 days to a week.
• The effects may last about 3 to 4 months, and retreatment is timed to how long the effects last.
• Wrinkle Botox is a treatment that injects botulinum toxin into the muscles that create expression lines to control excessive movement. These include the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes.
• As the repeated folding of the skin decreases, it can help soften expression lines and keep them from deepening.
• Wrinkle Botox can be used on the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes. It can also be used on other areas where expression lines form, such as the bridge of the nose and around the mouth.
• For fine lines in other areas you are concerned about, whether treatment is possible is checked at the consultation.
• Because muscle direction and movement differ by area, the injection points and amount are decided by looking at your facial structure and expression habits.
• Restricting muscle movement too much or injecting a large amount in a spot that does not fit the facial structure can make expressions look awkward.
• Min Clinic carefully plans the area and amount to control the excess muscle force that creates wrinkles while keeping needed movement.
• If your forehead muscle habits and brow position are not fully considered, the brows or eyelids may feel heavy.
• It is important to check how much you use your forehead muscle when opening your eyes. The injection range and amount are then adjusted to your brow position and muscle strength.
• Areas that affect each other, such as the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes, can be treated together.
• Not every area is treated with the same amount. The needed areas and amount are decided after checking muscle movement during expressions and overall facial balance.
• It varies by person, but using more than needed or repeating at very short intervals means the possibility of resistance should be considered.
• It is important to check the product and timing of previous treatments and your current muscle movement to set the product, amount and interval.
• Temporary bruising, swelling or stiffness may appear after treatment.
• If the injection point or amount does not match your muscle movement, expressions may look awkward, the brows may feel heavy or the two sides may differ. Careful treatment that considers the muscles in each area is needed.

Treatment time and recovery

• Anesthetic cream is used.
• Normal daily activities are generally possible right after treatment.

Aftercare and precautions

• Take care not to rub the treated area too much, and avoid strong pressure or deep facial massage.
• Very rarely, pigmentation may appear, and it usually improves naturally over time.
• It is best to avoid saunas and Korean bathhouses for about 1 week after treatment.
• It is best to avoid alcohol and smoking where possible.
• If the treated area turns red or feels hot for a while, a cold compress can help.
• Face washing and makeup are possible from the day of treatment.
• If severe swelling or pain continues in the treated area, contact the clinic right away.
