Botox Treatments at SEO JEONG
What Is Botox?
Botox (Botulinum Toxin Type A) is a purified protein that, when injected in small, precise doses, temporarily relaxes specific muscles. This action effectively smooths out dynamic wrinkles (those caused by muscle movement) and can also be used for therapeutic purposes like reducing excessive sweating or teeth grinding. It's one of the most popular and effective non-surgical aesthetic treatments worldwide.

BOTOX FAQ
๐น Are there any side effects or risks associated with BOTOX injections?
BOTOX is a safe procedure when performed by experienced professionals. However, some temporary side effects may occur, including mild swelling, bruising, or slight drooping of the eyelids. These effects typically subside within a few days. If you experience any unusual or prolonged symptoms, it is important to seek professional advice.
๐น How long do the effects of BOTOX last?
The results of BOTOX typically last between 3 to 6 months, depending on the area treated and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. As the effects gradually wear off, wrinkles may slowly return, and many patients choose to schedule follow-up treatments to maintain their results.
๐น Will I look natural after getting BOTOX?
Yes, when administered properly, BOTOX creates a refreshed, youthful appearance without looking overly stiff or unnatural. The key to achieving a natural result is careful dosing and precise injection techniques tailored to each individual's facial structure and aesthetic goals.
๐น Can I combine BOTOX with other cosmetic treatments?
Yes, BOTOX can be combined with other aesthetic treatments such as dermal fillers, skin boosters, and laser treatments for enhanced results. A customized treatment plan at Seojeong Dermatology ensures safe and effective combination therapies based on your specific skin concerns.
๐น Is BOTOX FDA-approved?
Yes, BOTOX is FDA-approved for both cosmetic and medical applications. It has been extensively studied and is widely used worldwide for treating wrinkles, fine lines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and medical conditions like chronic migraines.
๐น What happens if I decide to stop getting BOTOX treatments?
If you discontinue BOTOX, your facial muscles will gradually regain movement, and any previously treated wrinkles will slowly reappear over time. However, since BOTOX can help prevent deeper wrinkle formation, those who have used it consistently may notice a softer and more youthful appearance even after stopping.
๐น What is the difference between BOTOX and other neuromodulators?
BOTOX is a well-known brand, but there are other neuromodulators like Dysport and Xeomin, each with slight differences in formulation, diffusion, and longevity. The best choice depends on your skin type, treatment goals, and preference, which can be discussed during your consultation at Seojeong Dermatology.
