Hello.

This is Kim Jang-joo from BeautiDoctors.

​

When you frown, vertical wrinkles appear,

and lifting your eyebrows creates horizontal wrinkles on the forehead.

You might have seen this before.

​

​

These wrinkles are not simply due to age,

but are traces left by repeated facial expressions.

​

​

Especially, forehead Botox helps to soften an angry expression,

​

while eyebrow Botox

smoothers out horizontal wrinkles.

​

​

So these days, many people are

starting preventive treatment with Botox.

​

​

If you manage before the wrinkles deepen,

you can regain a much more natural and

smoother impression.

​

​

​

The reason why forehead and glabellar Botox should be done together

The causes are different, but

the two areas are connected,

so if you only treat one side, the balance may look awkward.

​

​

So nowadays, it is common to receive

forehead and glabellar Botox together.

​

​

Forehead and glabellar Botox

ultimately makes the whole face look younger

and transforms it more naturally.

​

​

Especially, Botox treatments

yield much higher satisfaction when

both areas are considered together.

​

Points to consider when only treating the glabella

Since I'm only concerned about glabellar wrinkles

I want just the glabellar treatment

is a thought many people have.

​

​

However, the facial muscles are interconnected,

so if movement on one side is restricted,

the muscles on the other side will engage in compensation.

​

​

In other words, if you use Botox to stop the frowning muscles of the glabella,

the forehead muscles will try to work more to compensate.

​

This may cause the eyebrows to rise excessively,

which can lead to what is commonly referred to as an angry bird impression.

​

​

Therefore, rather than just managing the glabella,

if you have forehead and glabellar Botox done together,

​

the muscle balance aligns, creating a much more natural and

smoother impression.

​

​

Since the planning considers this muscle compensation psychology,

you can expect a result that is neither awkward nor out of style.

​

🔑Improvement of impression

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q1. Can I return to daily life immediately after the treatment?

​

👉 Yes, you can.

You can wash your face or apply makeup right away.

​

However, it is advisable to avoid intense exercise, saunas, and alcohol on the day of the treatment.

Q2. When will the effects be noticeable?

​

👉 Usually, the wrinkles gradually relax within 3 to 7 days, and

after about 2 weeks, you can see the most stable effects.

Q3. How long does the effect last?

​

👉 On average, the effect lasts about 3 to 4 months.

If managed consistently, the muscle habits may correct,

leading to longer-lasting results over time.

Q4. Is it painful?

​

👉 It feels just a slight prick when the needle goes in.

If you're worried about pain, you can reduce discomfort with anesthetic cream or

cooling methods.

Q5. Will my expressions look awkward?

👉 If done by experienced medical staff, it won’t look awkward and

may actually result in a softer impression.

​

Especially at Hongdae Botox Dermatology, they have plenty of experience,

so you can expect natural results.

Q6. Are there any side effects?

​

👉 Bruising or swelling may occur, but

it will disappear in a few days.

​

Sometimes, you may feel a headache or a strange sensation, but

most people recover quickly.

Q7. Is it good to have Botox frequently?

​

👉 It is not necessarily good to have it frequently.

​

You need to maintain intervals,

and if repeated too closely,

there is a rare chance of developing Botox resistance.

​

If resistance develops, the effects may diminish,

so it's safest and most effective to get it every 3 to 4 months.

​

​

Wrinkles are not merely due to age,

but the result of daily facial habits.

​

​

Botox is just one of the methods to temporarily alleviate the results of these habits,

and it is not something you necessarily have to choose.

​

​

However, for interconnected areas like the forehead and glabellar,

it is good to remember that treating them together produces a more natural outcome.
