Botox

Treatment Effect

Single Session Effect

Generally, one session of wrinkle-relaxing injections lasts 6โ€“12 months. Botulinum toxin injections can maintain results for 4โ€“6 months; hyaluronic acid injections typically last 6โ€“8 months, while collagen injections last approximately 6โ€“12 months. For facial rejuvenation with added hyaluronic acid, duration varies by brand and molecular weight; for example, Restylane-2 hyaluronic acid typically lasts around 9 months.

Multiple Sessions

Multiple injections can sustain a youthful appearance as effects wear off, but botulinum toxin should not be administered frequently within three months. Overuse may trigger antibody formation, so injections must follow medical guidance.

Is It Suitable for Me?

This treatment is suitable for individuals concerned about wrinkles and seeking to improve their facial appearance by reducing visible lines, especially crow's feet, forehead lines, glabellar lines, and nasolabial folds. However, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers are advised against receiving this injection due to potential risks to the fetus. There have been isolated reports in product manuals of miscarriage and premature birth following botulinum toxin injections, though no conclusive experimental data currently exists. Additionally, individuals with known allergies to the components of wrinkle-reducing injections should not undergo the procedure; a skin test must be performed prior to treatment.

Select Device

Select Equipment

Botox injections are primarily administered using syringes. Reputable medical facilities typically employ syringes that meet medical standards to ensure the safety and hygiene of the procedure. When selecting a provider, the focus should be on the legitimacy of the medical facility and the expertise of the practitioner rather than on specific equipment.

Wrinkle-relaxing injections are administered using syringes. Legitimate medical facilities typically employ syringes that meet medical standards to ensure the safety and hygiene of the injection process. When selecting a provider, there is no need to focus excessively on the equipment; instead, prioritize the legitimacy of the medical facility and the expertise of the practitioner.

Price

Botox injections typically cost between 1,000 and 5,000 Chinese Yuan per dose, with the specific price influenced by several factors:
  • Manufacturer: Botox produced by well-known brands is more expensive, and imported versions are even pricier.
  • Local Cost of Living: In areas with higher living costs and consumption levels, Botox prices tend to be higher.
  • Dosage: Botox with higher specifications and larger dosages costs more.
  • Medical Facility: Prices vary across different institutions; some hospitals charge additional fees for the injection procedure.
Note: The original prices are in Chinese Yuan (CNY). Based on the current exchange rate (approximately 1 USD = 7.2 CNY and 1 USD = 1,350 KRW), the equivalent range in South Korean Won (KRW) is roughly 13,889 to 69,444 KRW per dose.

Expected Outcome

Expected Results

After receiving wrinkle-relaxing injections, you can achieve rapid and effective wrinkle reduction, resulting in smoother skin and diminished visibility of wrinkles for a more youthful facial appearance. However, the effects are temporary. The more active the muscles in the treated area, the faster the botulinum toxin is metabolized, meaning some patients may experience results lasting slightly less than six months.

Combination Therapy

It can be combined with other aesthetic treatments, such as adding hyaluronic acid for facial rejuvenation, to achieve better cosmetic outcomes by reducing wrinkles while hydrating, moisturizing, and filling minor facial depressions. Additionally, combining it with daily skincare routines and consuming foods rich in collagen can help maintain the wrinkle-reducing effects.

Adverse Effects and Complications

Side Effects and Complications

- Muscle dysfunction: Botox may affect normal facial muscle function, leading to conditions such as incomplete eyelid closure or ptosis. Generally, incomplete eyelid closure resolves within a few weeks, while ptosis typically lasts 2 to 3 weeks.

- Infection: Although the injection for wrinkle removal involves minimal trauma, infection may occur if sterilization is inadequate or post-procedure care is improper, resulting in local skin symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain.

- Skin necrosis: Improper injection technique may cause the drug to accumulate locally, forming nodules. If these nodules block blood vessels, they can lead to local skin necrosis.

In addition to the aforementioned muscle dysfunction, infection, and skin necrosis, mild side effects such as local bruising and swelling may also occur, typically resolving spontaneously within a few days to weeks.
