“I want to get Botox because my wrinkles are bothering me, but...

I’m worried about resistance and side effects.”

Botox is one of the representative procedures used to soften expression lines, refine the jawline, and relax muscles.

Although the name is familiar to many people, the exact mechanism and post-procedure care are often not well known.

Sinchon Botox Procedure principle

Botox is a procedure that injects a medication called botulinum toxin.

This botulinum toxin temporarily blocks signal transmission between muscles and nerves, helping reduce excessive contraction of the target muscle.

So it gives the muscles we use frequently a short “rest,” slowing the deepening of wrinkles,

and it can help soften wrinkles that have already formed.

Some people confuse it with filler.

Unlike filler, which “fills in” areas that are lacking, Botox is a procedure that reduces muscle movement itself.

Of course, it may be used together with filler depending on the individual condition, but the purpose and method of the procedure are different.

Botox is usually used on various areas depending on the purpose of the procedure.

Forehead, glabella, around the eyes

: Softening expression lines

Square jaw

: Relaxing developed jaw muscles

Trapezius, calves

: Muscle relaxation and line refinement

Underarms

: Relief of hyperhidrosis by reducing sweat secretion

So the required dosage, injection depth, and procedure method all differ by area.

For example, the skin around the eyes is thin and requires a shallow, delicate procedure, while the square jaw area has thicker muscle and requires deeper injection.

Therefore, it is very important to establish an appropriate plan according to the individual condition.

Sinchon Botox Causes of resistance and management methods

Botox can rarely develop resistance if repeated at short intervals or in excessive doses.

Resistance is a phenomenon in which the body forms antibodies against the Botox component, reducing the procedure’s effect.

To reduce the possibility of resistance,

  1. Keep the interval between procedures at least 3 months,

  2. Use only the appropriate amount needed for the area, and

  3. Follow the medical professional’s treatment plan.

Of course, if resistance does occur, one option is to use a product with a different ingredient,

but it is better to follow the proper interval and dosage from the beginning.

Sinchon Botox Side effects and precautions

Because all procedures have individual differences and the possibility of side effects, it is safer to receive sufficient consultation and explanation before treatment.

In most cases, Botox side effects are temporary and recoverable, but the following side effects may occur.

  1. Pain, swelling, and bruising at the injection site
  2. Temporary muscle weakness and changes in facial expression
  3. In rare cases, eyelid drooping, asymmetry, headaches, etc.

Examples of Botox side effects

Therefore, as always, it is important to have ongoing consultations with a specialist.

And after the procedure, it is a good idea to follow these precautions to help reduce side effects.

  1. On the day of the procedure : Do not rub the injection site hard; avoid excessive facial expressions

  2. Within 4 hours : Avoid lying down or lying face down

  3. For 1–2 days : Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, and alcohol

  4. During recovery : Cold compresses may be used for bruising or swelling; if discomfort persists, consult the clinic

Sinchon Botox is relatively quick and recovery is often fast,

but the results can vary greatly depending on the treatment area, dosage, and method.
