Injection for facial fine lines

Treatment Effects

- Botox: Theoretically, effects are stable, natural, and non-migratory, with minimal incisions that leave no scars and do not interfere with daily life. It temporarily blocks nerve-to-muscle transmission, relaxing muscles and reducing fine lines. Results typically last 3 to 6 months.

- Hyaluronic Acid: Provides hydration and volumizing effects by filling skin gaps, resulting in smoother, firmer skin with enhanced elasticity and radiance. Effects generally last 6 to 12 months.

- Sculptra: Stimulates collagen regeneration, smooths out wrinkles and fine lines, lifts facial contours, and improves skin quality. Results typically last 1 to 3 years.

Target Audience:

• Individuals seeking cosmetic enhancement who exhibit fine lines on the face while at rest or when making facial expressions.

Contraindications:

• Patients with neuromuscular junction disorders, such as myasthenia gravis.
• Individuals with uncontrolled systemic chronic conditions like hypertension or diabetes.
• Those with acute or chronic infections at the injection site or existing skin lesions.
• Individuals with known allergies to the injectable medication.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as women during menstruation.
• Individuals who have recently undergone other surgical procedures or received dermal filler injections.
• Those who have recently used aminoglycoside antibiotics or other medications that affect neuromuscular junction transmission.

Select Equipment

Injection for facial fine lines primarily uses simple instruments such as syringes. In reputable medical facilities, all instruments undergo rigorous sterilization and quality inspections. When choosing a provider, ensure they use sterile, disposable syringes to prevent cross-contamination.

Device Selection

To inject facial fine lines, simple instruments such as syringes are primarily used. Devices employed by legitimate medical institutions are typically subjected to rigorous sterilization and quality inspections. When selecting a provider, ensure they use single-use sterile syringes to prevent cross-contamination.

Botox

Reference price: 50,000 - 500,000 KRW, depending on factors such as brand, dosage, and injection area.

Hyaluronic Acid

Price varies by brand, type, and injection volume, typically ranging from 100,000 to over 10,000,000 KRW per syringe.

Sculptra

Relatively expensive, with treatment costs ranging from 1,000,000 to over 10,000,000 KRW per session.

Side Effects and Complications

- Botox: Possible adverse reactions include local numbness, pain, swelling, and redness, which typically resolve on their own within a short period. Complications may also include facial asymmetry, drooping of the upper lip, impaired muscle contraction, a feeling of tightness in the forehead, deepening of wrinkles in adjacent areas, and ptosis of the upper eyelid. Generally, these symptoms gradually improve within 2 to 4 weeks.

- Hyaluronic Acid: Redness, swelling, pain, and bruising may occur at the injection site, usually resolving spontaneously within a few days. In extremely rare cases, severe complications such as allergic reactions or vascular embolism may occur.

- Sculptra: Local redness, swelling, hard lumps, and pain may occur, typically subsiding on their own after a period of time.

Project Contraindications

Individuals with neuromuscular junction disorders, such as myasthenia gravis.

Those with uncontrolled systemic chronic conditions like hypertension or diabetes.

Patients with acute or chronic infections or skin lesions at the injection site.

Individuals with allergies to the injectable medication.

Pregnant, breastfeeding, or menstruating women.

Patients who have recently undergone other surgical procedures or received dermal fillers.

Individuals who have recently used aminoglycoside antibiotics or other drugs affecting neuromuscular junction transmission.

Project Contraindications

As outlined under "Is This Suitable for Me?" for individuals who are not suitable candidates, including:

- Individuals with neuromuscular junction disorders, such as myasthenia gravis.

- Those with uncontrolled systemic chronic conditions like hypertension or diabetes.

- Individuals with acute or chronic infections at the injection site or existing skin damage.

- Those with known allergies to the injectable medication.

- Pregnant, breastfeeding, or menstruating women.

- Individuals who have recently undergone other surgical procedures or received dermal filler treatments.

- Those who have recently used aminoglycoside antibiotics or other medications affecting neuromuscular junction transmission.

Side Effects

As described above regarding side effects and complications, different injectable substances present varying side effect profiles.

Side Effects and Complications:

Botox: Local numbness, pain, swelling, erythema, and other adverse reactions may occur and typically resolve on their own within a short period. Complications such as facial asymmetry, drooping of the upper lip, impaired muscle contraction, forehead tightness, deepening of wrinkles in adjacent areas, and ptosis may also arise; symptoms generally begin to improve within 2 to 4 weeks.

Hyaluronic Acid: Redness, swelling, pain, and bruising at the injection site may occur and usually subside within a few days. In rare cases, severe complications such as allergic reactions or vascular embolism may develop.

Collagen Stimulator (Sculptra): Local redness, swelling, hard lumps, and pain may occur, typically resolving spontaneously after a period of time.

Self-Diagnosis of Symptoms

Mild redness, swelling, or pain after injection is generally a normal reaction and can be monitored. However, if you experience severe swelling, worsening pain, skin discoloration, or blurred vision, seek medical attention promptly.
