I'm planning to get wrinkle Botox for the first time. How should I schedule the injections?
2026.11.11 10:15
Hi! I'm in my mid-30s, and while it's upsetting that I developed melasma and blemishes after getting pregnant, lately I've also been bothered by the horizontal wrinkles forming on my forehead, haha. When I smile or get surprised, the way my forehead folds first is clearly visible in photos.
So I'm planning to get a consultation for wrinkle Botox. I'm wondering how long the effects usually last after the first injection and how many months should I wait before getting the next treatment. I'm also a little worried about developing a resistance if I get it too often.
I am also considering toning for my melasma, so I would like to know if I can receive laser treatment on the same day as wrinkle Botox, or if I need to leave a gap of a few days. I want the results to look natural so my facial expressions don't look too stiff; is it possible to start with a smaller dose to check the reaction to the wrinkle Botox first?

- 02CommentsI totally relate because I'm also looking into Botox since my forehead folds in photos when I smile! You're absolutely right that a natural expression is the most important thing. I'm also curious if you assess your usual facial movements during the consultation and if it's possible to start with a lower dosage!190026.11.10
- 03CommentsIf the hollows are deep, I recommend filler treatment. If you have sagging cheeks, try combining it with a lifting procedure.190026.11.10

- 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.4200026.11.04
- 03CommentsI 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.900026.11.03
- 01CommentsGetting forehead fillers definitely has a great effect on improving wrinkles. I recommend getting Botox at the same time.1400026.10.12
- 02CommentsIf you fill in about 3 to 5cc evenly, focusing on the sunken areas, it will become plump without any bumps.780026.10.12
- 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.1080026.10.12
