Fine wrinkles have started appearing around my eyes and forehead.
Title: Fine wrinkles are starting to appear around my eyes and forehead. Should I get Botox first?
Lately, every time I look in the mirror, I keep getting bothered by the fine lines around my eyes and forehead.
In the past, wrinkles would appear briefly and then disappear quickly when I smiled or opened my eyes wide, but recently, even when I relax my expression, fine lines seem to remain.
Especially when viewed under bright lighting, my skin texture looks drier than before and I feel like it is gradually losing elasticity, so I am wondering if I should start wrinkle care now.
Since the wrinkles aren't deep yet, I want to find a way to naturally prevent and manage them rather than undergoing too harsh a procedure.
I looked into dermatological procedures and saw that Botox is frequently recommended for forehead and eye wrinkles. Is it appropriate to get Botox even at the stage where fine lines are just starting to form?
I have also heard that the management methods differ for wrinkles that appear only when making facial expressions and those that are visible even when at rest. I am wondering if you can distinguish between these aspects during the consultation.
Above all, I want to reduce wrinkles while maintaining my usual facial expressions as naturally as possible.
I'm worried that if I get Botox, the area around my eyes might look awkward when I smile or my forehead movements might become unnatural.
Also, if the fine lines are caused by skin elasticity or dryness, would skin boosters or other skin treatments be more suitable than Botox?
When I have my first consultation, I plan to ask which areas should be prioritized for treatment, the required dosage, and the expected duration of the results.
I would also like to know in advance whether bruising or swelling may occur after the procedure, when the effects will appear, and the precautions.
Has anyone here ever consulted about Botox for the first time because of fine lines around their eyes or on their forehead?
Please share your experience regarding the criteria you used to decide on the procedure and whether you felt satisfied with the changes while maintaining a natural facial expression.
Since my wrinkles aren't severe yet, I'd like to start step-by-step with care tailored to my skin condition rather than rushing into a procedure.

- 01CommentsI really relate to you saying that there are days when dead skin cells flak up in the early morning. Since I have naturally dry skin, my cheeks are the first to feel tight as soon as I turn on the heating. I'm also curious to hear your answer regarding whether you shorten the intervals between skin boosters in the winter or switch creams before and after treatments, so I'll be waiting with you!600026.11.07
- 02CommentsJuvelook works by inducing collagen production rather than simply filling in the skin, so the effects appear gradually. Typically, the texture starts to change around 4 weeks in, and it is said to look most natural between 8 and 12 weeks. Since many people prefer to receive treatments with 2 to 3 sessions spaced apart rather than just once, it is best to determine the exact interval based on your condition during the consultation. Although dry weather does not stop collagen production, the skin may feel tight for a long time after the procedure, so please pay extra attention to moisturizing. As the forehead is an area that moves a lot when smiling, you should be able to resume your daily activities immediately as long as you avoid saunas, alcohol, and strong massages on the day of the procedure.220026.11.07
- 03CommentsI also experienced redness and internal dryness after my acne cleared up, so I looked into exosomes. I heard that if you have thin and sensitive skin, applying plenty of numbing cream before the procedure makes it bearable, with just a slight stinging sensation. However, since exosomes focus on regeneration and soothing, the tightness doesn't disappear completely in a single session; rather, it often improves gradually over 2 to 3 treatments, and sessions are typically scheduled at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks. For acne-prone skin, soothing is the priority, so please make sure to point out any current breakouts during the consultation. As long as you avoid saunas, alcohol, and exfoliation for a few days after the procedure, you shouldn't have any trouble with your daily life.210026.11.07
- 01CommentsIt is great that you separated your questions into walking and sweat-inducing exercises. It would be helpful to know whether I should rest more if redness persists, and to receive guidance on how to gradually increase the intensity; this would make scheduling easier.2290026.11.02
- 02CommentsIf you are experiencing internal dryness along with redness, I recommend getting an LDM treatment first to soothe your skin barrier before moving on to a skin booster. During the consultation, the director assessed the thickness of my skin and selected the perfect fit for me from either Vitaran or Rivicol.1170026.11.01
- 03CommentsIf you are prone to breakouts, it would be best to have your current inflammatory condition examined, even if the procedure is intended for moisturization. Please inform them of the oral medication and topical acne products they are using, and ask about the criteria for avoiding inflamed areas or postponing the procedure. It would also be helpful to receive guidance on whether the treatment is suitable for your actual skin condition rather than just the season, as well as the proper sequence and intervals for combining it with acne management.840026.11.02
