Botox effects: wrinkles in 1 week, square jaw in 1 month? A comprehensive summary of effects by timeline.

Why do the effects of wrinkle Botox and muscle Botox differ? An explanation of the mechanism of action of Botox.

There is so much to talk about Botox

that I will try to divide it into various sections.

[Table of Contents - the contents may change continuously!]

  1. Botox

  2. Summary of the effects of Botox

    2.1 Botox that acts on the muscles

    2.2 Botox that acts on the dermis



Today, I am going to talk about the effects of Botox

which can be divided into two major categories.

  1. Muscle-paralyzing Botox that stops muscle movement

  2. Muscle-reducing Botox that decreases muscle size


These two are not absolutely different


Even if the same Botox is used,


the effects we get are different.


(*Occasionally there may be overlapping cases, for example: Glabellar Botox - I will explain more later!)



First,

Botox is initially used for conditions like cerebral palsy that manifest as muscle rigidity !!

effectively used to treat those diseases.

Ultimately, the most important thing to note is that it prevents muscle contraction.

When there is no contraction,

it brings two types of effects.


1. Muscle-paralyzing Botox that stops muscle movement

Temporary muscle paralysis due to Botox

does not occur immediately

it shows effects from the third day and almost all effects are seen by the seventh day!

The reason for facial wrinkles is


to put it simply,

it's because they move!

The more intensely this area moves, the deeper the wrinkles become.

That's why men have deeper wrinkles.


Just by stopping the movement of these muscles,

the wrinkles that are strongly formed

can be weakened..

Thus, the effects appear quickly!




  1. Muscle-reducing Botox that decreases muscle size


The most important concept here is

when you are lying down or have an injury and are in a cast

have you ever seen your calves get thinner from disuse?


It's a very important concept that if you don't use it, it won't get smaller.


The use of Botox in this respect includes

  1. Jaw Botox

  2. Temple Botox

  3. Jawline Botox

  4. Trapezius

  5. Calf

  6. Upper arm



They exist like this

and as you can see in the pictures, after 2 weeks to a month

you can see the size reduction.


If you think there are parts of your body and face

that are too large,

try touching them,,,,?

If it's muscle, it can be reduced easily,

if it's fat, it can be reduced,

but reducing bone is difficult.



Thank you~!
