In some cases, those with strong sagging may still have symptoms even after Botox injections. In addition, the duration of the treatment varies depending on the area to be treated. It is conceivable that the effect may last longer in areas with relatively little movement, so the area around the eyes may be considered to last longer than the area between the eyebrows or the forehead.

In order to avoid such side effects, it is advisable to consult with your doctor regarding the frequency and intervals between injections.

Combined use with laser treatment also has a synergistic effect, aiming to improve skin texture and wrinkles at the same time. However, when combining treatments, it is important to consult with your doctor and allow appropriate intervals between treatments. To find the right plan for you, please have a consultation at a reliable cosmetic clinic.
