How to Reduce Pain During Skin Botox in Hongdae

Hello. I’m Doctor Jo Wonjin, and I have been practicing for 10 years.

Skin Botox hurts, so I’m really scared ㅠㅠ

Is there any way to get it done with less pain?

Skin Botox (dermothoxin), which smooths skin texture and tightens pores, is a procedure with very high satisfaction.

However, because of the nature of the procedure, many people hesitate to go through with it out of concern about pain.

In fact, pain can be made much more comfortable if several things are taken care of, from the preparation stage before the procedure to the medical staff’s technique.

Today, under the topic of how to reduce pain during skin Botox in Hongdae,

I’ll talk about what efforts are made to reduce the risk of pain during Hongdae skin Botox procedures and increase satisfaction,

and I’ll explain the specific methods.

If you focus for just 3 minutes, I think you’ll be able to ease your vague fear of pain.^^

1. Why skin Botox causes pain

If regular Botox works by injecting into muscles to relax them,

Hongdae skin Botox involves dividing small amounts of medication and injecting them into the dermis, the very shallow layer of the skin.

When the medication is injected, the fine facial muscles relax, which helps smooth fine lines and tighten pores.

However, this dermal layer has many nerves that sense pain.

People tend to feel the pain more sensitively when the needle goes in and when the medication spreads.

In other words, while pain itself cannot be eliminated, it can certainly be made less painful depending on how it is handled.

2. How to reduce pain during skin Botox

For the doctor performing the procedure, minimizing the patient’s pain is also an important part of determining the quality of the procedure.

That is why we use the methods below.

1. 충분한 마취 시간 (40분~1시간) Topical anesthetic creams have a higher absorption rate the longer they are left on.

You may usually see cases where it is done briefly for around 20 to 30 minutes,

but if you are sensitive to pain, waiting for about an hour so the sensation becomes as dull as possible makes a noticeable difference.

2. Using nano needles In fact, most pain comes from the thickness of the needle.

Using nano needles, which are much thinner than regular needles, can significantly reduce the irritation and tissue damage caused when piercing the skin.

There is less bleeding, and recovery is faster.

3. Injection technique and tension A needle hurts less when it is inserted quickly rather than slowly.

Also, injecting while giving the skin in the treatment area proper tension can distribute nerve stimulation and reduce the sensation of pain.

This is also an area where know-how builds up based on how many treatments have been performed.

3. Why consultation before the procedure is important

The reason consultation is prioritized rather than simply recommending the procedure is largely for patient safety.

In fact, there was a patient who had gotten Hongdae skin Botox at another place and then came in for Botox separately at one-month intervals,

but because the interval was too short, the risk of resistance increased, so we had to postpone the procedure.

If they had discussed it in advance, we could have made an efficient plan to do it all at once while reducing the risk of resistance.

Also, if skin sagging or indentations are severe, skin Botox alone may not produce the desired effect.

Depending on the cause, lifting or collagen-regeneration procedures may be a better solution.

Only by diagnosing the underlying cause can you achieve satisfying results without wasting valuable time and money.

4. Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q. Are bruising or swelling severe?

A. If nano needles are used and the injection layer is carefully controlled, the risk of bruising can be reduced.

Although it varies from person to person, the raised bumps usually disappear within 2 to 3 days, and the tiny needle marks disappear within 1 to 2 days.

Q. When do the effects appear, and how long do they last?

A. About 3 to 7 days after the procedure, you begin to notice smoother skin texture,

and after 2 weeks, the skin reaches its most natural and elastic state. The duration usually lasts about 3 to 4 months.

Key summary of skin Botox pain

To summarize what I explained today,

• Hongdae skin Botox is a procedure that reduces the downward-pulling force of muscles and increases skin elasticity

• To reduce pain, sufficient anesthesia, the use of nano needles, and precise injection technique must all be supported.

• Diagnosis before the procedure is also important, and so is whether the clinic has a good pain management system.

Checking first whether this is a clinic that pays attention to such details is probably the way to avoid wasting money, right?

I wrote more details below about how to check whether a clinic is a good one.
