Botox is a procedure that reduces muscle movement and strength for a certain period to alleviate expression lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes, or to soften facial contours caused by developed square jaw muscles. Even with the same Botox, the injection site and dosage vary depending on the area and purpose. If the primary cause is bone, fat, or skin sagging, the desired changes may be minimal with Botox alone, so the underlying cause must be identified first.

Forehead Botox alleviates horizontal wrinkles caused by raising the eyebrows, the area between the eyebrows reduces vertical wrinkles from frowning, and the crow's feet reduce wrinkles that spread to the sides of the eyes when smiling. Since the direction and function of muscles differ in each area, the dosage is adjusted by checking your usual facial expressions and eyebrow position. However, deep wrinkles that remain even when at rest may not disappear completely as this treatment only reduces muscle movement.

If the dosage is excessive or your usual facial expressions are not taken into account, the result may feel heavy and unnatural. For a natural-looking procedure, it is important to reduce the excessive forces that cause wrinkles as much as necessary, rather than eliminating all movement. All Clinic adjusts the injection site and dosage by examining how you smile or open your eyes, as well as muscle strength and left-right differences.

It is possible. Since forehead muscles play a role in creating wrinkles and lifting the eyebrows, those who habitually strain their forehead to open their eyes may experience heavy eyes if the muscles are weakened excessively. The scope and dosage are determined by assessing existing eyebrow and eyelid sagging as well as eye-opening habits.

If the primary cause of a wide jaw is the development of the masseter muscle, which is responsible for chewing, square jaw Botox may be considered. We assess the size and strength of the muscles on the sides of the jaw when biting down, and also evaluate volume and skin elasticity. If bone, cheek fat, deep cheek fat, or skin sagging are significant, changes with Botox alone may be limited, so we do not recommend the same procedure solely because the face is wide.

Excessive reduction of the masseter muscle in faces with small muscles or pre-existing hollow cheeks can cause the cheeks to appear sunken or sagging. The dosage must be determined carefully, especially for those with a thin face. The procedure is planned by considering not only the size of the masseter muscle but also its volume, skin elasticity, asymmetry between the left and right sides, and the response to previous treatments; furthermore, significantly reducing the jaw does not always guarantee a good result.

Changes in expression lines usually begin around 3 to 7 days, and the response is monitored over 1 to 2 weeks. In cases where muscle volume needs to be reduced, such as with a square jaw, more time may be required. While clinics recommend a maintenance period of about 4 to 6 months, this varies depending on the product, area, dosage, and muscle usage; therefore, the next timing is determined based on how much of the current effect remains.

Although neutralizing antibodies may rarely form, potentially reducing efficacy compared to before, a decrease in response does not necessarily indicate resistance. Avoid unnecessary high doses or repeated treatments at short intervals, and verify the product, site, and timing alongside the previous response. Products with complex proteins removed, such as Coretox and Xeomin, can also be compared, but they cannot guarantee that resistance will not develop at all.

Meditoxin and Coretox are domestic products, while Xeomin and Allergan Botox are imported; they differ in manufacturer, formulation, and purification method. Although Coretox and Xeomin are formulations with complex proteins removed, this does not mean that a specific product is better for everyone or is free from tolerance. The selection is made by considering the treatment site, history of repeated treatments, and previous reactions, and the units of each product are not directly compared or converted.

If necessary, it is used to regulate the masseter and temporalis muscles involved in teeth grinding and clenching, developed salivary glands, muscles that pull the corners of the mouth downward, or the movement of the nostrils when smiling. However, since the causes and functions of each area differ, this procedure is not necessary for everyone. Salivary glands are evaluated separately from muscles, and Botox alone does not resolve all causes of temporomandibular joint problems.

The primary purpose of standard Botox is to reduce the movement or strength of specific muscles. Skin Botox is administered in small amounts to the relatively shallow layers of the skin to address concerns such as fine lines, skin texture, pores, and sebum. The treatment is selected by distinguishing between concerns regarding expression lines, jaw muscles, and the skin surface; even when the same ingredients are used, the treatment objectives and injection plans differ.

You may feel a stinging sensation during the injection, but the procedure takes approximately 10 minutes, and most patients can resume their daily activities immediately. However, small injection marks, redness, swelling, and bruising may occur, and consultation, anesthesia, and preparation times are separate. Do not press hard on or massage the treated area, and please adjust alcohol consumption, exercise, and sauna use according to the hospital's post-procedure instructions and your individual recovery progress.

Check not only the price or product name, but also whether the medical staff adjusts the location and dosage by verifying actual facial expressions and muscle size. At All Clinic, medical professionals with over 10 years of experience located near Exit 2 of Myeongdong Station assess your facial condition and movements in specific areas. They consult on the necessary treatment plan by reviewing the characteristics of products such as Meditoxin, Coretox, Xeomin, and Allergan, as well as your reactions to previous procedures.

The required units are determined after assessing muscle size and strength, left-right differences, the treatment site, and previous responses. Since product-specific units are based on the formulation and testing method, the numbers cannot be directly compared or converted. A larger quantity does not always imply better results; therefore, the first step is to determine which product is being used on which body part and for why.

Yes. Fillers and Botox are often administered together, and depending on the condition, they can be performed on the same day. Botox regulates muscle movement, while fillers supplement insufficient volume, allowing them to be used to improve different areas. We plan the treatment areas, dosages, and sequence by reviewing facial balance, desired changes, and previous treatment history.
