Jaw Botox Explained by Imi Seok Theme Dermatology Clinic

Hello. This is Imi Seok Theme Dermatology Clinic. The skin treatment we will introduce today is Botox. According to the Korean Society for Laser Dermatology and Hair, the most common Botox treatment area among Koreans is the square jaw. Many people also said their first-ever skin treatment was Botox, and more than 50% of respondents said they had been receiving Botox regularly for over two years. Looking at people who are considering Botox, many seem to visit a dermatology clinic for jaw Botox because their face looks larger and more severe due to a square jaw. So today, we would like to talk about jaw Botox.

What is Botox?

It is a therapeutic injectable whose main ingredient is botulinum toxin. Originally developed as a treatment for neurological disorders, Botox can remove wrinkles, correct a square jaw, and refine facial lines without surgery, so it is now more popular for cosmetic purposes.

“Jaw” Botox

The most common Botox treatment area among Koreans is also called square jaw Botox. The concerns of people who seek Botox because of their jaw are sagging cheeks, broad cheeks, a double chin, and a protruding square jaw. Botox is a treatment that reduces the size of sagging cheeks, makes broad cheeks look slimmer, sharpens a thick double-chin line, and softens a protruding square jaw.

Botox is a treatment that tidies up the facial line (contour) and increases elasticity. The treatment time is short, within 10 minutes, and there is almost no swelling or bruising. Because you can still make natural facial expressions afterward, it is a treatment many busy modern people seek.

The effect is best about one month after the procedure, so if you have an important event such as a wedding or a blind date, it is important to receive the treatment at least 2 to 3 weeks in advance so you can see the best effect on the big day.

There may be individual differences because muscle size varies from person to person.

Will jaw Botox work? Self-check!

If you clench your molars and touch the jaw area below your ears with your hand, you will feel the masseter muscle. People whose masseter muscle reacts strongly when they clench their molars can see significant results. On the other hand, if there is no muscle that reacts strongly when you clench your molars, you may not see much effect, so it is best to receive a dermatology consultation and choose the treatment that suits you. In addition to Botox, treatments that create a V-line include premium lasers and thread lifting, so visit a dermatology clinic and receive personalized one-on-one treatment.

Precautions After Botox Treatment

• After receiving square jaw Botox, please avoid chewing motions with the jaw for about 1 to 2 hours, and it is best not to lie down for 5 to 6 hours.

• For one week after the procedure, it is best to avoid saunas, alcohol, public baths, and similar activities.

• Slight bruising may occur after the procedure, but it generally disappears after about 10 days, so there is no need to worry too much.

• For about one week after the procedure, do not touch the treated area and avoid giving it as much stimulation as possible. In particular, meridian massage, Chuna therapy, and massage are prohibited for one month.
