I'm curious about the effects of skin Botox, but won't my facial expressions look awkward?
I am looking into skin Botox because of the skin texture around my cheeks or small wrinkles, but since the name includes "Botox," I am worried that my facial expressions might look unnatural.
My cheeks tend to move a lot when I smile, so I think it would be uncomfortable if my smile changed or if I felt tension in my face after the procedure. I want to manage my skin to be a little smoother, not change the natural movement of my face.
Is it possible to maintain natural facial expressions while expecting the effects of Skin Botox? I am also curious about how Skin Botox differs from general muscle Botox in terms of injection sites and purposes. I would like to know what specific areas are treated with special care during the procedure, such as around the cheeks, which are related to facial expressions.
If I am getting skin Botox for the first time, can we decide whether to proceed with the procedure after checking my facial muscle movements and current skin condition?
I would like to know the likelihood of side effects affecting facial expressions, and what measures are necessary if they occur. I prioritize safety and naturalness over effectiveness.

- 01CommentsI was also most worried that my facial expression might look awkward if I treated my forehead and eye area at the same time. I think it would be good to ask during the consultation how the dosage is divided by area and when your next visit should be scheduled!280026.10.23
- 02CommentsI totally relate because my forehead looks sunken, so I cover it with my bangs. At first, I was curious too about how many cc is used!360026.10.23
- 03CommentsIf you desire a natural look, please examine your profile and frontal view together during the consultation and explain the changes you want and the shape you do not. It would also be helpful to ask about the initial dosage, the timing for determining whether to add more, and the follow-up schedule to check for asymmetry or unevenness. You may take your time to consider your decision after reviewing the explanation of vascular risks, how to contact them immediately in case of adverse reactions, and the emergency response system.240026.10.23
- 01CommentsYour question about wanting to verify actual movement rather than repeating it every month is very specific. During the consultation, it would be helpful to first confirm whether the same approach is appropriate for the eye and nasolabial fold areas, and to receive guidance on recording methods for comparison under the same lighting and facial expressions. It would also make planning easier if you asked if you can receive a follow-up consultation without booking a next procedure, and inquired about the cost for that as well.890026.10.21
- 02CommentsI also have an unconscious habit of frowning, so I can relate to your concerns about frown lines haha. If you are worried about your expression looking awkward, I recommend mentioning that during the consultation first and discussing the dosage and your next visit date together!870026.10.22
- 03CommentsYou adjusted the dosage perfectly to fit the sunken areas, so they immediately plumped up after just one session!340026.10.21
- 01CommentsGetting forehead fillers definitely has a great effect on improving wrinkles. I recommend getting Botox at the same time.1180026.10.12
- 02CommentsIf you fill in about 3 to 5cc evenly, focusing on the sunken areas, it will become plump without any bumps.490026.10.12
- 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.730026.10.12
