Botox procedures are commonly known to us,

and they are something many people inquire about or have tried at least once!

The more well-known a procedure is, the more rumors and misunderstandings there are about it.

Let’s get right into it!

Does Botox make your facial expression stiff?

The reason people feel that their expression becomes stiff after Botox is due to how it works.

Because it works by temporarily paralyzing or weakening the muscles, if the treated area is the forehead, glabella, or lips, which greatly affect facial expressions, it may feel awkward temporarily!

This phenomenon is not considered a side effect as long as there is no major problem, and it usually disappears after some time following the procedure!

However, if you are very worried or if you have a situation/job where you need to pay close attention to your facial expressions, there are also methods such as skin Botox or Dermotoxin, which involve injecting small amounts into the superficial skin layer to improve the condition. If it seems too severe, be sure to contact the place you visited!

Will wrinkles get worse if you stop getting Botox after starting it?

This is one of the most common misunderstandings.

That is close to false. Botox is not a permanent procedure, so it simply means your skin has returned to its original condition.

However, during the period when the effect appears, you may have experienced that wrinkles disappeared or improved, and when it returns to its original state, you may feel as if wrinkles have formed.

To eliminate even your natural wrinkles, you also need care such as healthy lifestyle habits, and since there is no case where all wrinkles caused by aging can be removed 100%, consistent care and appropriate combination with procedures like Botox will be necessary!

Does Botox work on all wrinkles?

Many people wonder how far Botox is effective.

It is difficult to say that Botox is effective for all wrinkles. For example, wrinkles that are greatly affected by muscle movement may improve to some extent, but for wrinkles caused by overall loss of skin elasticity, nasolabial folds, and the like, Botox alone may have limited effect.

Therefore, other procedures such as fillers, thread lifting, and laser lifting may also be combined or recommended.

However, we hope you will make this decision only after consulting with a professional.

Botox? Isn’t it a toxin? Isn’t it bad for your body?

Botulinum toxin is indeed a neurotoxin. But the amount used for cosmetic or therapeutic purposes is extremely small. It also naturally breaks down and disappears without accumulating in the body.

These details vary depending on the type of Botox, but certification and approval status are often carefully checked, and the number of clinical trials is also provided in many cases, so if you feel anxious about the Botox procedure you will receive, we recommend looking into it carefully.

We recommend visiting a clinic with experienced medical staff that uses genuine products and the correct dosage, and Forena Clinic hopes you will visit a place that is transparent and open about its information :)
