Botulinum toxin for facial wrinkles
A softer, more youthful appearance
About this treatment
Botulinum toxin treatment for facial wrinkles temporarily reduces activity in the muscles that create expression lines, helping soften wrinkles. Treatment areas may include the forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, under-eye area, nostrils, nasal bridge, dimpled chin, corners of the mouth and philtrum. The treatment plan aims to soften excessive lines while preserving natural expression. Available products include CoreTox, Xeomin or Korean-made botulinum toxin, with differences in formulation and characteristics related to treatment resistance.
Treatment considerations
- Pronounced forehead lines, frown lines or crow’s feet during facial expressions
- If the impression looks tired due to a lot of fine lines
- Concerns related to muscle activity, such as downturned mouth corners, a dimpled chin or nostril flaring
- If you want a natural and fast anti-aging effect
- If you want additional effects of shrinking pores or improving facial lines
Treatment process
- Analysis of treatment area and wrinkle pattern after consultation
- Injection design according to individual muscle volume, strength, and asymmetry
- After disinfecting the treatment area, inject a small amount of Botox with a thin needle
- Complete the procedure within 5 to 10 minutes
Treatment schedule
- Repeat treatment is usually recommended at intervals of 3 to 4 months
- CoreTox and Xeomin may last a little longer due to their high purity
Aftercare
- Do not lie down for 2 to 4 hours after the procedure
- Avoid drinking, going to the sauna, or exercising on the day of the procedure
- Bruises are naturally relieved within 3 to 7 days
- Treatment is not offered during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Excessive treatment of already weakened muscles may affect facial expression, so careful treatment planning is important.
