Botox

Soften lines in 15 minutes

Botulinum toxin is injected in small doses to relax the muscles behind forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet, or to slim a square jaw. The appointment takes about 15 minutes, with no cutting and no dressing. The effect appears gradually rather than on the day.

A calm face seen from the front with small dots marking treatment points on the forehead, between the brows and at the outer eye corners, and a shaded oval over the chewing muscle at each jaw angle.
  1. Forehead lines. Small doses relax the muscle that raises the brows, so horizontal lines soften.
  2. Frown lines. Between the brows, where the vertical '11' lines form.
  3. Crow's feet. At the outer corners of the eyes, the lines that show when you smile.
  4. Square jaw. Relaxing the chewing muscle at the angle of the jaw slims the lower face over 2–4 weeks.

Points are typical, not a treatment plan. Your doctor decides doses and placement.

Good to know

  • Do not rub, massage or lie flat for about 4 hours after the injections.
  • Avoid alcohol and strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
  • The effect builds over 3–7 days, so book at least a week before an important event.
  • Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking muscle-relaxant medication.

Questions

How long does it last?

Typically 3–6 months, depending on the area, the dose and how strongly you use those muscles.

Is Korean-made toxin used?

Clinics offer both Korean and imported brands at different prices. Your doctor will explain the options at consultation.

Will my expression look stiff?

The dose is adjusted to your muscles, so say at consultation if you prefer a lighter result with more movement.

Can I fly on the same day?

Flying is generally fine, but stay upright for the first few hours and follow the clinic's aftercare instructions.
