Perhaps because of my habit of frowning, I have horizontal wrinkles on the bridge of my nose. Since these wrinkles are the result of a long-standing habit, fine lines actually started forming on the bridge of my nose around my early to mid-30s. I was too busy with life to pay attention to them, but at some point, I noticed the wrinkles had become this deep. Because these wrinkles appear when I frown, my overall impression looks harsher, and I look at least 10 years older. Can these be smoothed out with Botox? I've heard that Botox isn't effective if the wrinkles are too deep, so should I try a different method? In my case, the wrinkles are present even when I have a neutral expression, so I'm wondering if Botox can actually smooth them out. If these wrinkles cannot be alleviated with Botox, please let me know what other procedures would be effective and provide the types and methods.
CommentsI 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.
CommentsSince 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.
CommentsHello.
Square jaw Botox is an effective procedure for reducing muscle size, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will cure the habit of clenching your jaw. It typically takes 2-3 months for the muscles to return to normal after the procedure, although this varies from person to person. Re-treatment is possible on the same area at a minimum interval of 3 months. You may experience some discomfort due to soreness when chewing tough foods (such as meat or squid) after the procedure. For one week after the procedure, please avoid saunas, steam rooms, swimming pools, alcohol, smoking, and strenuous exercise that causes sweating. We recommend visiting our clinic for a detailed consultation. Thank you for your inquiry.
CommentsSince 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.
CommentsIt 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.
