I spent quite a bit of money on dermatology treatments, but I feel like half of it was a waste.
As I get older, I've become more interested in my skin and have tried various things.
Honestly, I feel like I wasted quite a bit of money in the beginning, so I'm just writing this down.
My biggest regret was Intracell.
I looked it up because of my pores and paid for the 3-session package.
My face completely broke out after just one session.
I just gave the remaining attempts to my younger sibling lol
I found out later that it was a procedure that might not be suitable for people with thin skin.
Back then, nobody told me, and I didn't know either.
From then on, I started doing a lot of research before doing anything.
At first, I only went to expensive places for Botox.
These days, technology has leveled up across the board, so even if you go to a place offering a cheap promotion, there isn't much difference.
I got injections in the masseter muscles and the sides of my nose, and my face feels a bit more relaxed overall.
The muscles at the sides of the nose have that pressing force against the sides, you know?
If you get it right there, the nasolabial folds feel slightly looser and the shadow next to the nose feels reduced.
I was skeptical at first, but I liked it quite a bit.
Something else to share...
There are places that do a full-face helmet for 600,000 won.
If you get injections for different body parts separately, it can go over 500,000 won, so it really varies wildly.
If I get Skin Botox 3 days before an important day, I feel like my skin is tightening.
Since you can get it for under 100,000 won, I think this is really good value for money.

- 01CommentsImmediately after the procedure, the two sides may temporarily look different due to differences in swelling. Usually, the results will look natural after about 1 to 2 weeks once the swelling subsides, so please wait a little while. If the difference is still significant, I recommend consulting with the clinic where you had the procedure done for molding or a touch-up.371026.10.24
- 02CommentsI also became interested in Botox because the wrinkles on my chin become more prominent when I tense up my jaw while smiling or talking. While Botox for a cobblestone jaw can help alleviate the uneven appearance by reducing muscle movement, the effects vary from person to person. Therefore, I recommend consulting thoroughly with experienced medical professionals regarding the dosage to help maintain a natural facial expression.311026.10.24
- 03CommentsIf this is your first time, rather than deciding on a specific area first, I recommend consulting about the overall balance of your face and starting with the parts you really want to improve. Since the risk of fillers varies by area, please make sure to carefully check the medical team's experience, how to handle vascular complications, and even the products and dosage used before making a decision.462126.10.23
- 01CommentsWith lip fillers, even adding just a little volume can change your overall impression, so I think the design is really important. You described the process in detail, including how the filler settles naturally as the swelling subsides, which will be very helpful for those considering the procedure. It really seems important to match the filler to your original lip shape and facial proportions without looking excessive.4023226.10.20
- 02CommentsI imagine you must have been satisfied to hear that not only your shoulder line but also the stiffness has decreased. Since the trapezius muscle is used extensively in daily life, it is important to consider not only the effectiveness but also any discomfort when making a decision.570126.10.16
- 03CommentsIt is said that the duration of Botox effects can vary depending on the treatment area, the degree of muscle development, and the dosage used. Rather than blindly increasing the dosage or undergoing a re-treatment simply because the effects wear off quickly, it is important to verify the product and dosage used during the initial procedure, as well as the duration of the effect. It is also advisable to consult with a medical professional to determine the interval for re-treatments based on your individual condition.1552126.10.19
- 01CommentsWhen you get Botox, the movement of the muscles between your eyebrows is reduced, so you may actually become more aware of the habit of unconsciously tensing them. While the sensation of squinting while the Botox is active does not mean wrinkles will immediately deepen, the habit of repeatedly and strongly tensing the muscles between your eyebrows can affect wrinkle formation. It would be a good idea to consciously check if you are tensing your eyebrows when looking at a computer or mobile phone, and if you experience eye strain, try adjusting screen brightness or your break times as well.983326.09.29
- 02CommentsAfter receiving trapezius Botox, you may experience stiffness for about the first week due to muscle weakness. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid upper body strength training or carrying heavy bags immediately after the procedure. Once your body adapts over time, there will be no major issues with your daily life, so please take a rest for the time being. I hope your questions have been answered.591026.09.30
- 03CommentsI totally relate to yours, as my biggest worry before getting Botox was that my facial expression would look unnatural or stiff! I definitely think the most satisfying results come from just naturally smoothing out wrinkles without being too ambitious. Just not having foundation settle between my eyebrows is truly a small but significant improvement in my quality of life. 👍 Thanks for the thoughtful review!4757426.10.06
