Precautions After Wrinkle/Skin Botox (Dermatoxin)

  1. Bruising or swelling may occur after the procedure, and bruising may last for approximately 2 weeks.
  2. After wrinkle Botox procedures (forehead, glabella), the eyebrow area may temporarily lift, causing a heavy sensation or swelling, and symptoms such as drooping eyelids may occur. To minimize these symptoms, avoid touching or rubbing the treated area immediately after the procedure.
  3. For skin Botox procedures, avoid washing your face for 4 hours after the procedure and take care to prevent infection at the injection sites.
  4. You may feel temporary discomfort when climbing stairs, but this will naturally improve over time.
  5. Please avoid activities that may increase facial heat, such as saunas, excessive exercise, and hot baths. The injection marks will gradually disappear over time.
  6. You may shower or wash your face immediately after the procedure.
  7. Post-procedure symptoms and side effects are temporary and are not reasons for a refund.
  8. If you experience any discomfort, please contact us or visit the clinic to consult with the director.

Precautions After Masseter/Calf Botox

  1. Bruising or swelling may occur after the procedure, and bruising may last for approximately 2 weeks.
  2. Immediately after the procedure or within a few days, the treated muscle area may temporarily appear uneven or feel weak. You may also experience discomfort due to a dull pain, but these symptoms generally improve within 3 to 7 days.
  3. To maintain the effects of the procedure for a longer period, it is recommended not to excessively use the treated muscles. (Masseter Botox: avoid chewy foods such as dried squid or gum / Calf Botox: avoid excessive calf muscle exercise)
  4. After masseter Botox, your mouth may not open widely for a short period, so avoid touching the treated area and be cautious with vigorous massage.
  5. After masseter Botox, the cheek area may temporarily appear fuller, and for calf Botox, the visual effect may be less noticeable if there is a significant amount of fat in the calf area. Since calf Botox may also cause calf muscle development, regular stretching is recommended.
  6. Post-procedure symptoms and side effects are temporary and are not reasons for a refund.
  7. If you experience any discomfort, please contact us or visit the clinic to consult with the director.
