Question 1

Q1. Apgujeong When do Botox effects start to show after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

Botox effects typically begin to appear 3-7 days after treatment, with optimal results observed around 10-14 days (2 weeks). If you don't notice any changes after two weeks, we recommend contacting the clinic where you received the treatment to have your condition assessed. Reference: Botox Singapore Aftercare Guide

Question 2

Q2. Can I wash my face or wear makeup on the day I get Botox in Apgujeong?

Accepted Answer

For at least 4 hours immediately after the procedure, avoid applying pressure to the treated area, so it is safe to gently wash your face and apply makeup after 4 hours. Even then, it is best to avoid rubbing or scrubbing motions as much as possible.

Question 3

Q3. If side effects occur from Botox in Apgujeong, do they return to normal?

Accepted Answer

Most Botox side effects are temporary. Since Botox's effects naturally diminish over 3 to 6 months, most side effects also resolve naturally within that period. A 2020 review study also reported no long-term or permanent side effects when the procedure was performed appropriately by a skilled professional. Reference: FACE Beauty Science

Question 4

Q4. When will the heavy feeling in my eyes subside after getting forehead Botox?

Accepted Answer

The symptom of heavy-feeling eyes (ptosis) after forehead Botox injections usually improves naturally within 2 to 4 weeks. If the symptoms are severe or persist for more than 4 weeks, further treatment is available at the clinic where you received the procedure, so we recommend visiting for a consultation.

Question 5

Apgujeong Is there a difference in effectiveness between Botox products?

Accepted Answer

All Botox products approved by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (such as Botox, Xeomin, Coretox, Botulax, and Lightox) use botulinum toxin as their active ingredient. There may be slight differences in diffusion range or speed of effect among these products. However, based on the director's experience, it has consistently been found that the practitioner's experience and technique have a greater impact on the results than the differences between products.

Question 6

Q6. Are there any medications or supplements I should avoid before getting Botox?

Accepted Answer

Medications and supplements that interfere with blood clotting, such as aspirin, ibuprofen (NSAID pain relievers), vitamin E, fish oil, and ginkgo biloba extract, should be discontinued 5-7 days prior to the procedure to help reduce bruising. However, if you are taking any prescription medications, please consult with your doctor first. Reference: Botox Singapore Aftercare Guide
