I am considering getting Skin Botox because I heard it is effective for improving fine lines, shrinking pores, and refining skin texture. However, I have heard that unlike regular Botox, Skin Botox is injected shallowly into the dermis layer, so its effects last somewhat shorter, around 3 to 4 months. I am curious whether those who have actually received the treatment feel that the effects drop significantly after about 3 to 4 months, or if the duration seems to gradually increase with consistent, regular treatments. Additionally, I would appreciate your opinion on how long bruising or swelling lasts without interfering with daily life, and what is the optimal interval for treatment management to minimize stress on the skin and be the most efficient.
CommentsI 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.
CommentsI can relate because I've also been bothered by the bumpy texture on my chin. I think asking about your masticatory muscles or daily habits would be helpful during the consultation.
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 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.
