A hospital that doesn't disinfect or check the procedure site

Have you ever heard of a clinic that performs procedures without disinfection or checking the treatment site?

I visited a dermatology clinic in Suwon that is a nationwide chain.

I booked an appointment for glabella and jawline Botox, and when I checked in, I clearly told the front desk that it was for the glabella and jawline.

Since there was no specific option for frown line Botox in the reservation category, I selected wrinkle Botox and made the reservation, so I didn't mind when they mentioned wrinkle Botox during the consultation.

After waiting in the Botox treatment room, the doctor came in, told me to open my eyes wide and relax, and immediately administered the first injection near the temple.

I didn't think it was strange because when I previously received Botox for my square jaw due to teeth grinding at the dentist, I also had it injected near my temples.

However, the four shots given quickly in succession after the first injection were administered along the hairline.

They injected so quickly, seemingly in less than a second per session, that I couldn't speak in the middle of it. After completely removing the needle from my face, I told them it was Botox for my glabella, and they seemed very flustered.

He said there seemed to have been a miscommunication and offered to treat the area between the eyebrows for free, but in an attempt to salvage the situation further, he suggested that it would be better to get hit on the forehead as well when getting hit between the eyebrows.

After thinking it over carefully several times following the procedure, I realized there was a major reason I hadn't noticed.

Check the treatment site class disinfection This is because the important process called... was omitted.

Although Botox treatment is completed in a very short time, it is a procedure that carries a sufficient risk of infection because the needle penetrates the skin and enters the muscle layer.

But does it even make sense to perform a procedure without disinfecting or checking the treatment site?

I cannot reveal which hospital it is, but no matter which hospital you visit, please make sure to go to one that disinfects and double-checks the procedure site with the patient.
