I went to get Botox for my frown lines and wrinkles around my eyes, as scheduled.
📌 1. Visited Branch: "Maypure Ilsan Branch"
How is everyone managing their wrinkles? ㅠㅠ I have a habit of frowning, so at some point, I noticed slight vertical wrinkles starting to form between my eyebrows. On top of that, when I smile, fine lines around my eyes become visible, so whenever I take a photo, I find myself zooming in just to look at them; it was completely stressful. Realizing that cosmetics alone cannot prevent wrinkles that have already started to appear, I decided to get a procedure.
In the end, I decided to get wrinkle Botox, which is said to be the most cost-effective and sure-fire solution. Honestly, since it was my first time getting Botox, I visited Maypure Ilsan branch with a mountain of worries—concerns about my facial expressions looking unnatural or my eyes feeling heavy when I opened them. Haha. I went with confidence because it is so famous and I had seen reviews saying the director is excellent at designing the procedure. During the consultation, after observing my habits and the expressions I usually make, she said she would inject the wrinkle Botox naturally with an appropriate amount between my eyebrows and around my eyes.
Excluding the time to apply the numbing cream, the procedure felt like it took less than 5 minutes. It only stung a little when the needle went in, and it was over so quickly that I was actually embarrassed about being nervous, haha. Immediately after the procedure, there was hardly any bumping or bruising, so I could go about my daily life right away. With the wrinkle Botox, the effects started to show about 3 to 4 days later, starting with a gradual soreness. After about a week, I experienced the magic of my eyebrows not creasing even when I tried to frown intensely, lol.
People around me have told me that I look much younger and softer because there are fewer wrinkles around my eyes when I smile. I was completely amazed by the director's skills, as there was none of the heaviness in my eyes or awkwardness in my facial expressions that I had been worried about. I heard that the effects of wrinkle Botox usually last about 3 to 6 months, but to correct my facial expression habits, I plan to get injections consistently every 4 to 5 months, following the treatment cycle recommended by the director.
At first, I was scared because it was an injection procedure, but once I actually got it done, I understood why everyone gets it regularly. I was told that Botox alone has its limits for deep wrinkles and that fillers need to be used in combination. So, I highly recommend getting wrinkle Botox as a preventative measure, just like I did, before your wrinkles get too deep. The director at Maypure Ilsan branch was so kind, and there was no unnecessary treatment, so I'm definitely sticking with this place for my Botox from now on.
