Before Getting Botox, Learn 5 Things First!🚨 Let’s Watch the Video Together from Forena Clinic in Hongdae!

There is a common belief that Botox or fillers are better done in winter than in summer,

so it seems like more and more people have recently been searching for Botox!

In the past, Botox or fillers may have been easier to settle in during winter rather than in the hot summer,

but now, due to the technical advancement of various products, that is not necessarily the case!

Even so, I thought it would be good to cover this topic now,

so I’ll introduce 5 things that are good to know before getting Botox!

👇️Watch the video right away👇️

Then let’s get started with what you’re curious about!

*The content in the video is basic information that is good to know before the procedure,

and it may differ from your actual situation during consultation and treatment.

More dosage does not mean the muscle will freeze more!

🪑 Simple example: If there are 100 chairs but 200 guests arrive?

Our muscles have something called 'receptors,' which are like chairs that receive nerve signals.

Botox sits in these chairs instead and plays the role of preventing the muscle from moving!

If there are 100 chairs in a muscle, then if 100 Botox guests come, all the chairs will be filled, right?

But what if 200 or 300 Botox guests are sent in (overdosing)?

Since the chairs are already full, the remaining guests have nowhere to sit and only wander around nearby.

In other words, once the proper amount has already reached saturation, increasing the dosage does not paralyze the muscle any further.

*This is only an example for explanation and has been simplified beyond the actual content.

That is why the ability of the person consulting and performing the procedure to accurately determine the proper amount is important!

Needing a retouch does not mean the Botox failed!

🔍 "Come in for a retouch" = Did the procedure fail?

After Botox, if you are told, "Come back in about a week to check the retouch progress,"

some people worry, 'Does that mean it didn’t work properly the first time?'

But this is not a failure; rather, it is part of a 'customized treatment' process!

1. Because Botox is not something that can be removed!

Once Botox is injected, it cannot be reversed until the effect wears off.

Rather than injecting too much from the start and making your expression stiff,

it can be much more stable to first inject a safe, appropriate amount,

then observe the muscle’s response and make fine adjustments only in the areas that are lacking!

2. Everyone has different habits!

People all have different habits when it comes to frowning, right?

There are also many people whose left muscles are especially stronger than the right.

Checking these individual differences and perfectly matching symmetry is exactly what a retouch is for.

'A temporary asymmetry' may not be a side effect!

✅ My facial balance seems off! T.T

After getting Botox, temporary asymmetry or unnaturalness may appear,

and when you contact a dermatology clinic or search online, you’re often just told that this can happen, which can be frustrating!

As explained above in the reason retouching may be needed,

asymmetry can occur depending on a person’s lifestyle habits or how they use their muscles.

Also, asymmetry may occur during the process of the medication settling in.

So rather than thinking, 'Asymmetry appeared right away, so it’s a side effect!'

we recommend contacting the clinic or visiting a nearby hospital right away if the asymmetry seems to persist or if discomfort develops!

The effects do not appear immediately!

🪞 Botox needs a period for the effects to appear.

Even the lunch you ate needs time to be digested,

so the processes explained above will take even more time, right?

For large, noticeable muscles, the effect usually appears after about 2 to 3 weeks!

For others, it usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks.

What many people find confusing here is the difference between the time it takes for effects to appear and downtime.

The effect appearance period is when the actual effects begin,

while downtime means reaching a level where you can return to daily life (washing your face, showering, makeup, etc.).

So when looking at dermatology clinic guidance, you should not confuse these two concepts!

That’s why it’s important to have a detailed consultation with a professional!

😨 Even after explaining it simply, it’s still difficult, right?

At a dermatology clinic, all of this is considered in real time

while consultation and treatment are being carried out.

So it’s best to listen carefully to the consultation details!

Don’t just get the procedure casually because Botox is considered a relatively inexpensive treatment in dermatology;

I hope you approach it carefully, with the mindset that any procedure affects my skin.

There is more information in the video, so please be sure to watch it :)

Today, we looked at 5 easily overlooked things before a Botox procedure!

This post was written based on generally known facts,

but because everyone’s skin is different, please be sure to consult with a professional before deciding on the procedure!

If you need more detailed consultation or have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments or by visiting the clinic.

I hope this was an enjoyable post today as well, and I’ll see you next time :)
