I (the writer of this blog) never really had an idea of what exactly botox was before I started to work for this dermatology clinic. I always assumed it was something that made your face look a lot puffier and awkward when you smiled, some huge procedure done only at plastic surgery clinics, that would distort your face forever.
Little did I know that botox injections were actually so simple and not very dramatic at all! All the awkward celebrities I had seen looked strange because of other procedures, and not just botox. And the more I understood the principles behind botox injections, the more it seemed like such a reasonable treatment to undergo - those for whom botox would apply, obviously.
Simply put, botox (botulinum toxin) paralyzes the muscles that cause wrinkles, primarily around the eyes and forehead. If the muscles can't move, they can't make more wrinkles, and over the course of a few weeks the wrinkles will eventually smooth out. You can read more about botox injections in our previous blog post, written by Dr. Ko Na Young. When excessively injected, the results can seem unnatural and make the face look paralyzed, as many might fear. However, if done in the right quantities, botox is a subtle way to smooth out the wrinkles that form from strong expressions.
After learning this, I noticed that my own mother had some deep frown lines that were getting more noticeable. She had started working out with a personal fitness trainer, and the intense workouts had made her frown and grimace quite frequently. It got to the point where the line was clearly visible even when she was not making any facial expressions. And when she made the slightest expression - even when she was just squinting to see something on her phone - the wrinkle would burrow itself into her glabella and seem like a scar.
Since I didn't personally know anyone who had received botox injections, I was quite curious to see the results unfold over time, and therefore persuaded my mom to get one for herself. So a few months ago, she scheduled an appointment at our Dongdaemun branch and got her first ever botox treatment. In all honesty, she never would have dreamed of having anything to do with botox, and yet look at her now, taking photos for her daughter to update the clinic's blog. :D
As you may already know, botox injections don't require anesthesia and take up very little time, so the procedure was done in a jiffy. When I asked my mother how she felt after, she said over the next few weeks she felt a strange numb sensation, and she could really tell that the muscles were paralyzed because she couldn't frown like she used to. She'd try to frown, but her face would remain passive.
It's important to remember that one session will not miraculously solve all wrinkles. Too strong of a dosage can make the face look unnatural; it's better to administer small amounts several times for gradual and longer lasting results. In just two weeks, you can see my mother's frown line has faded considerably already. However, a couple of months have passed and she can now feel the effects of the botox wearing off (meaning she doesn't feel the numbness anymore). This is why at first, we recommend you receive botox injections regularly every 4-6 months.
