Botulinum toxin injection

Botulinum toxin injection

Wrinkles in various areas, jawline slimming, mouth corner lift, hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating

Recommended for

  • I am concerned about wrinkles and fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes or between the eyebrows
  • My jawline is prominent and my face appears large
  • I want to refine my facial contours
  • My gums show when I laugh
  • My mouth corners droop and I appear unfriendly

When botulinum toxin is injected, the muscle contraction power in the surrounding area decreases.
Utilizing this property, by injecting an appropriate amount of botulinum toxin into the muscles (the muscles that cause wrinkles), the muscles relax and their movement weakens, making expression lines less noticeable.
At our clinic, after counseling on design and injection volume to bring out natural beauty, we perform the procedure with a focus on a natural finish.

Features

1. Wrinkle treatment

A treatment method that eases muscle tension causing wrinkles by injecting medication, making expression lines on the forehead, between eyebrows, and outer corners of eyes less noticeable. Applicable areas include the forehead, between eyebrows, outer corners of eyes, fine wrinkles under the eyes, chin dimple wrinkles, and wrinkles on the sides of the nose.

2. Facial slimming treatment (jawline reduction)

When botulinum toxin is injected into the masseter muscle in the jawline area, the muscle weakens and atrophies, allowing you to reduce jawline prominence and achieve a slimmer face without surgery. Additionally, injecting botulinum toxin into the masseter muscle can reduce teeth grinding. It is also effective for those troubled by teeth grinding and those whose faces have become asymmetrical.

Applicable areas for wrinkles and facial slimming treatment

3. Underarm Sweating / Hyperhidrosis Treatment

Botulinum toxin works by stopping the release of neurotransmitters. The medication is injected subdermally into areas prone to excessive sweating, such as the underarms, blocking sympathetic nerve fibers to halt nerve signals to the sweat glands and suppress perspiration. Since the effect lasts 4–6 months, we recommend treatment every year before summer. It is also effective as a hyperhidrosis treatment for those troubled by sweating on the palms or soles of the feet. Please consult with us first.

4. Shoulder Stiffness Treatment

Shoulder stiffness botulinum treatment works by directly injecting botulinum toxin into the tense area of the shoulder, promoting relief from shoulder stiffness. By injecting into the area with strong tension, the muscle tension is weakened and the shoulder is relaxed. Shoulder stiffness does not affect the entire shoulder; rather, only a specific area is actually tense. A benefit of this treatment is that botulinum toxin can be injected with pinpoint precision into that area.

5. Leg Slimming Treatment (Calves)

It is difficult to reduce well-developed calf muscles through exercise or diet. Leg slimming botulinum treatment is a therapy that gradually thins the calves by injecting botulinum toxin into several areas of concern on the calf, weakening muscle function. Since it only weakens muscle function, there is no concern about being unable to walk. It is recommended for those troubled by muscle buildup rather than fat on the legs.

FAQ

How long does the effect of botulinum toxin injection last?

Although there is individual variation, generally the effect lasts approximately 3–6 months. By inhibiting the release of the neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) that activates muscle contractions, muscle tension is relieved. However, as time passes, nerve endings regenerate and the effect gradually diminishes. Reports indicate that with repeated treatments, muscle atrophy occurs and longer-lasting effects can be expected. Research has shown that with repeated botulinum injections into the masseter (jawline), changes at the skeletal level also occur.

Can I apply makeup or bathe immediately after treatment? Please tell me about downtime.

Redness and mild swelling at the injection site may appear for several hours, but makeup is typically possible from the same day. Immediately after treatment, avoid strongly rubbing the injection site or lying face-down (as the medication may diffuse). Bathing and showering are possible from the same day, but please refrain from strenuous exercise, sauna, and alcohol consumption on the day of treatment. The effect begins to appear in 3–7 days, and complete results appear in approximately 2 weeks.

I heard it can be used for treating underarm odor and hyperhidrosis, but what is the difference from wrinkle treatment?

Botulinum toxin acts not only on muscles but also on sympathetic nerve fibers that control sweat glands. For hyperhidrosis and underarm odor treatment, the medication is dispersed and injected around the sweat glands in the subcutaneous tissue, blocking nerve signals to the sweat glands and suppressing perspiration. The mechanism of action is the same as wrinkle treatment (injection into facial expression muscles), but the target differs—"muscle" versus "sweat gland." Botulinum treatment for hyperhidrosis has been confirmed as effective in multiple high-quality clinical studies (Level A recommendation by the American Academy of Neurology guideline), and it is a high-safety treatment despite not being covered by insurance.

Please tell me about side effects and precautions. Can I receive treatment while pregnant or nursing?

The main side effects are bruising, redness, and mild swelling at the injection site, most of which disappear within a few days. In rare cases, the medication may diffuse into surrounding areas, temporarily causing undereye hollowness, asymmetrical eyebrows, or asymmetrical mouth corners, but these recover as the effect wears off (3–6 months). Allergic reactions are extremely rare. Those who are pregnant or nursing, those with neuromuscular disorders (such as myasthenia gravis), and those with allergies to botulinum toxin cannot receive treatment. Please confirm detailed risks with your physician during the consultation. For appointments and consultations, please contact us via LINE or phone.
