I got Botox for my frown lines and wrinkles around my eyes. I hope the effects last a long time.

📌 1. Visited Branch: "Maypure Bucheon Branch"

Hello everyone! Haha. Do you all use your facial muscles a lot when making expressions? I think it's because I unconsciously have a habit of squinting hard when looking at a monitor or concentrating, but at some point, deep vertical lines started to form between my eyebrows. ㅠㅠ To make matters worse, the fine lines that appeared around my eyes whenever I smiled caused my foundation to clump and settle whenever I applied makeup, making me look so much older. I thought I couldn't go on like this, so I decided to take care of it before it was too late. I immediately made an appointment at the Bucheon branch and went there.

During the consultation, I mentioned my insecurities about the area between my eyebrows and around my eyes to the director. He explained that while fillers might be necessary if the wrinkles were already deeply etched even when at rest, fortunately, since my wrinkles are dynamic lines that only appear when making facial expressions, Botox alone would be sufficient to prevent them and improve firmness. He meticulously explained the principle: it temporarily restricts muscle movement to firmly tighten the skin and prevent deeper creases. He asked if I wanted numbing cream applied, but since Botox is such a simple procedure that finishes very quickly, I decided to just have it lightly cooled with an ice pack and get the injection right away.

When I went into the treatment room to get the injection, it did feel a bit sore and stinging, perhaps because the skin around my eyes is thin haha. However, the director was so quick and precise that it was over in an instant just as I was about to tear up. After the procedure was finished, I asked the manager detailed questions about the duration of the Botox. She told me that while it varies from person to person, it usually lasts for about 3 to 6 months if you develop a habit of using your muscles less. She also gave me a great tip: since this wrinkle Botox treatment isn't permanent, it is most effective to get it regularly to match the duration of the effect when the medication starts to wear off.

It has been exactly about a week since I got wrinkle Botox, and it’s truly amazing how my eyebrows don't furrow even when I deliberately try to frown hard. My eye area feels as taut as if it were ironed out, so the creasing under my eyes has completely disappeared when I apply base makeup. Every time I look in the mirror, my overall impression looks much softer and brighter than before, which is so fascinating and I am extremely satisfied. Since it is difficult to completely reverse wrinkles with just Botox once they have settled deeply like scars, I highly recommend that you all visit a clinic for care early, just like me, as soon as fine lines start to appear!
