Botox, two key points
Botox, two key points
Botox, does it make a difference how you get it?
Hello. This is Director Kim Jang-joo.
These days, there are really many people who are considering Botox procedures 💉
Botox may seem like a relatively simple procedure, but
if individual muscle usage habits or facial balance are not considered,
the expected effect may not be fully realized or expressions may appear awkward. So rather than just saying it “matches,”
the area and purpose of the procedure are very important.
Today, I will calmly summarize two key points that will be helpful for those planning to undergo Botox procedures.
✨Principles and Effects of Botox Botox works by restricting the movement of specific muscles using botulinum toxin.
It has excellent effects in improving wrinkles,
and it can also create a slimmer appearance in areas that look larger due to muscle development.
but also in various areas like the square jaw, trapezius, and calves.

The effects generally last for around 3 months.
As time goes by, the movement of the muscles returns, so Botox needs to be repeated at regular intervals.
However, if you have it too often or use an inappropriate dosage,
tolerance or side effects can occur.
Therefore, accurate location and appropriate dosage settings are crucial. ✔️Key Points 1. Accurate Injection Location
The effect of Botox ultimately depends on how accurately the location
where the drug is injected. Since there are dozens of muscles intertwined on the face,
even a single expression requires multiple muscles to act simultaneously.
If the injection location is slightly off, unwanted results can occur.
For example, when injecting Botox to improve wrinkles around the eyes,
if the injection site is too close, the charming flesh can disappear when smiling
or the expression can look awkward.
When undergoing a Botox procedure, if the position and thickness of the masseter muscle at the square jaw are not accurately assessed,
it could become difficult to open the mouth or asymmetry could occur.
These issues may recover over time, but
you may have to endure discomfort for at least a few months.
✅So it is important to receive treatment at the correct location from the beginning.
You need to have your condition accurately diagnosed and ensure that it is injected at the correct location.
2. Appropriate Dosage Injection
Botox is not a good procedure just because you get a lot of injections.
Excessive amounts can lead to unnatural and awkward outcomes.
For example, your expression may become stiff when you smile,
and unwanted areas might also be affected.
If you frequently use excessive dosages, tolerance may occur. ❌
Once tolerance develops, it can be hard to expect Botox effects
for several years.
Therefore, it is important to maintain an appropriate dosage.
When treating multiple areas at the same time, it is advisable to consult sufficiently with medical staff and accurately inject the appropriate amount for each area.

Q&A
Q1. This is my first time getting Botox, how many times should I get treated? For your first Botox treatment, usually, one session is enough to see effects. However, to maintain the effects for a long time, it is advisable to get treatments regularly every 3 months.
The frequency of treatment can vary depending on individual wrinkle conditions or
muscle development levels. Q2. Does Botox take effect immediately? Botox does not show immediate results. Usually, effects start to appear after about 3-7 days. Maximum effect appears after about 2 weeks. Therefore, rather than expecting immediate results,
please refer to the gradual effects that appear after a few days.
Q3. What should I be careful of after Botox treatment? After getting Botox, it is important to avoid excessive friction. For example, be careful not to rub the treatment area hard or apply strong pressure. Additionally, it is best to avoid exercise or alcohol for 24 hours post-treatment. Q4. Can I return to daily life right after getting Botox? Right after getting Botox, there is no significant hindrance to daily activities. However, it is advisable to avoid intense exercise, saunas, and jjimjilbangs. Other than that, you can carry out everyday activities. Q5. Can Botox not suit my body? Botox is safe for most people, but rarely there may be allergic reactions or side effects.
Especially if someone is sensitive to drugs or is a pregnant woman,
or a nursing woman, it is better to avoid treatment.
It is important to consult thoroughly with medical staff before treatment and
inform them of your health condition. Thank you for reading. This was Kim Jang-joo. Recommended Beauty Column Outline & Volume
