I'm finally going to get Botox because of my frown lines!
2026.07.17 12:16
I have a bad habit of frowning intensely without even realizing it, whether I'm working at the office or looking intently at my smartphone. As a result, deep, distinct wrinkles formed between my eyebrows before I knew it. Whenever I apply makeup, foundation gets stuck in those lines, making me look at least five years older than my actual age. People around me strongly advised me that once these wrinkles appear, I must get Botox to tighten the muscles before it's too late to prevent them from deepening further.
Since it is the first time in my life getting a needle put to my face for cosmetic purposes, I am a little scared and nervous. However, because Botox is so popular and the procedure is simple, taking only five minutes, I mustered up the courage and booked an appointment at a dermatology clinic near my office on my way home tomorrow. I heard that it is best to get a safe product without resistance, whether it is domestic or imported, so I plan to get a thorough consultation. For those of you who get Botox to prevent frown lines like me, how long does the firming effect usually last after just one injection?
I heard that you need to get injections regularly at the appropriate intervals before the effects wear off completely to prevent wrinkles from forming at all. I am curious how often you seniors get Botox injections.
Please give me some tips on how to get hit without getting a bruise!

- 01CommentsIs a 3-month cycle usually correct?300026.11.04
- 02CommentsI also got a consultation because I was told I looked tired due to defined lines under my cheekbones when I was expressionless. They told me that nasolabial folds need to be considered in conjunction with cheek hollowing or sagging. Since Botox alone might not solve the problem, make sure to ask about concerns regarding facial movements during your consultation. As someone who had a reality check to see if massages could smooth them out, I think it's faster to just see a professional.400026.11.04
- 03CommentsSince it is common for only one side of the masticatory muscle to develop more due to habits, I think knowing about my chewing habits first will be very helpful for the consultation! You won't regret it if you discuss during the consultation whether square jaw Botox and fine wrinkle management above the jawline can be done together, as well as the duration of the effects.310026.11.04
- 01CommentsSince fillers are an injection procedure, bruising and swelling may last for about a week!830026.11.01
- 02CommentsI think it is a really prudent and good attitude to consider movement discomfort first rather than deciding based solely on the results! If you ask about movement during meals and monitoring options during the consultation, you won't regret it.560026.11.03
- 03CommentsSince wrinkles around the mouth are in an area that moves a lot when speaking or smiling, I imagine you are most concerned about whether your facial expressions will look natural after the procedure. The choice between Botox and fillers depends on the cause of the wrinkles, so I recommend consulting with a doctor to compare recovery times and lasting effects.620026.10.30
- 01CommentsGetting forehead fillers definitely has a great effect on improving wrinkles. I recommend getting Botox at the same time.1330026.10.12
- 02CommentsIf you fill in about 3 to 5cc evenly, focusing on the sunken areas, it will become plump without any bumps.730026.10.12
- 03CommentsIt stings slightly during the procedure, and the effects usually last 3 to 6 months. If you get it regularly before wrinkles settle, the results will last longer.1010026.10.12
