How to Get Forehead Botox Effectively Together with Glabella Botox in Hongdae

Hello, I’m Dr. Jo Won-jin, and I’ve been practicing medicine for 10 years.

If forehead Botox is done wrong, people say your eyes feel heavy and look smaller...

You may have seen reviews saying that they got it to smooth wrinkles,

but instead their expression looked harsher or it became hard to open their eyes.

The reason for these side effects is not simply a problem with the product,

but because the muscle condition and wrinkle type were not accurately identified.

Under the topic of how to get forehead Botox effectively together with glabella Botox in Hongdae,

I’ll explain the 3 key criteria that reduce the risk of side effects and increase the chance of success.

Hongdae Forehead Botox

1. First, get a proper diagnosis of whether Botox can solve the wrinkles

Just as some wrinkles in clothing can be smoothed out with a light steam iron,

while others need to be pressed strongly at a dry cleaner,

not all forehead wrinkles can be solved with Botox alone.

In the case of fine, shallow wrinkles, when there is not yet a distinct wrinkle groove,

regular Botox that weakens the muscle can be sufficiently effective.

However, depending on the case, even these wrinkles may be better suited to a method that smooths the overall skin texture by injecting superficially into the skin layer,

or for some people, skin boosters such as Rejuran or Juvelook,

or radiofrequency lifting such as Thermage or Corège may be needed for fine wrinkles or texture improvement.

(This is the kind of thing that can only be determined accurately by looking at the skin condition.)

In the case of already deeply etched wrinkles, wrinkles that have become scar-like, as if paper has been folded, cannot be smoothed out with Botox alone.

In this case, it may be necessary to release the inwardly sunken tissue

and fill the depressed area with a collagen booster such as filler or Juvelook.

(I’m simplifying it here, but this also varies depending on gender, age, and skin condition.)

If you get it without thinking and it doesn’t work, nothing feels more wasteful or disappointing.

The first priority is to get an accurate diagnosis from a clinic that will honestly tell you whether you can realistically expect the result you want.

Hongdae Forehead Botox 2. Placement based on your eye-opening habit

If, when you normally open your eyes, your eyebrows also lift or your forehead tenses, you need to be especially careful.

If people like this get too much Botox, the muscle strength that helps them open their eyes will weaken.

As a result, a side effect can occur where the eyelids feel heavy and droop.

To prevent this, it’s better to avoid treating the area below the center of the forehead,

that is, the area close to the eyebrows, as much as possible and leave it untreated.

But you may not be sure whether you open your eyes using your forehead.

Try a self-check.

If you place a finger on your brow bone and it becomes difficult to open your eyes, then you are opening them with forehead muscle force.

However, this does not mean that treatment is impossible for everyone like this.

For people in their 50s and older, it is generally not recommended.

For people in their 20s and 30s, getting Botox now can actually help strengthen the eye-opening muscles,

which can be helpful in preventing wrinkles over the long term.

It’s like training to correct bad facial habits.

Hongdae Forehead Botox 3. Balance it out by treating the forehead and glabella at the same time

"Why do you say I should treat the glabella too?"

You may worry that this is overtreatment, but it has to do with the interaction of facial muscles.

The forehead muscle (the lifting force) and the glabellar muscles (the lowering force) are in a tense tug-of-war.

At this time, if you only get Botox in the forehead and remove the lifting force,

the lowering force of the glabella becomes relatively stronger.

As a result, you may unconsciously frown more, and the glabellar wrinkles can become deeper and more pronounced than before.

So when reducing forehead muscle activity, it is better to also reduce the glabella muscle activity to maintain a more relaxed appearance.

However, there is something to be careful about.

If someone who used forehead muscles to open their eyes gets both areas overly paralyzed all at once during their first treatment,

it may become extremely difficult just to open the eyes.

Therefore, it is most important to carefully assess each person’s muscle strength and treatment history,

and to start with an appropriate amount without overdoing it at first.

It would be nice if this were handled automatically...

but depending on a clinic’s business structure and various circumstances, customized treatment may be difficult.

If you refer to the post below, it may help with your decision.

Summary of how to get it effectively

To get Hongdae forehead Botox without failure, remember these 3 things:

• Accurate diagnosis: Fine wrinkles may need skin Botox, while deep wrinkles may need fillers or other customized treatment.

• Placement: If you open your eyes with your forehead, avoid treatment right above the eyebrows.

• Dose adjustment: Treat the forehead and glabella together, but if it is your first treatment, the dose should be adjusted conservatively.

Botox is a procedure performed at most clinics, but you need to choose carefully to reduce the risk of side effects.

I hope you’ll check once more whether the clinic carefully examines your facial habits and muscle condition.

Thank you. This was Jo Won-jin.
