Botox body slimming

Treatment Effect

Treatment Results

- Onset Time: Changes in the contours of areas such as the legs or face are typically visible about two weeks after injection, with optimal results achieved after 1 to 2 months.

- Duration: The optimal effects generally last around 6 to 8 months. With multiple scientifically administered injections, long-term slimming results may be maintained, though individual outcomes vary.

- Specific Results: Taking calf slimming as an example, the calves typically reduce by approximately 1 to 3 centimeters, primarily targeting prominent muscle areas. Facial slimming reduces the volume of the masseter muscles, softening facial contours.

Is this suitable for me?

Suitable for individuals with localized obesity caused by well-developed muscles in specific areas, such as enlarged calf muscles or hypertrophic masseter muscles. Not recommended for those with facial fat accumulation or facial widening due to abnormal skeletal development, as well as for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, patients with neuromuscular disorders, and individuals allergic to botulinum toxin. If certain body parts show obvious muscle protrusion or hypertrophy that becomes more pronounced during contraction, botulinum toxin slimming may be appropriate. However, a final assessment by a qualified medical professional is required.

Botox injections primarily use syringes. Generally, legitimate medical facilities employ disposable syringes that comply with medical device standards to ensure safety and hygiene during the injection process. When selecting, pay attention to the syringe brand, quality, and whether it holds relevant certification of compliance.

Price

Price

The price of Botox for body contouring varies depending on several factors, including the injection site, brand, dosage, region, and the medical facility. Generally, the cost for facial slimming ranges from approximately 300,000 to 15,000,000 KRW, while prices for slimming other areas such as the calves fluctuate within a similar range.

Expected Outcome

Expected Results

Botox slimming primarily targets areas with well-developed muscles, reducing muscle mass but not fat. Therefore, it is ineffective for obesity caused by fat accumulation. Additionally, results vary by individual, so expectations should be realistic and not based on unrealistic slimming goals.

Combination Therapy

Botox slimming can be combined with other aesthetic procedures to achieve better results. For instance, for facial concerns, it can be paired with facial liposuction to address facial widening caused by both fat accumulation and muscle hypertrophy; for other parts of the body, it can be combined with treatments such as fat-dissolving injections.

Adverse Effects and Complications

Side Effects and Complications

- Local reactions: Localized swelling, bruising, and pain may occur, typically subsiding within 3 to 5 days.

- Muscle weakness: Within one week after injection, muscles in the calves or other injection sites may feel weak or achy. In some cases, this may persist for about a month, gradually improving over time.

- Altered facial expression: Improper technique during jawline slimming may lead to facial stiffness or asymmetry.

- Other complications: Less commonly, difficulty swallowing may occur.

In addition to the aforementioned local reactions, muscle weakness, altered facial expression, and difficulty swallowing, the spread of the drug may also affect muscle function in other areas.

Project Contraindications

Contraindications for the Procedure

Pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers are prohibited from receiving injections.

Individuals with neuromuscular disorders cannot undergo injection.

Select Item

Contraindications

Injection is prohibited for pregnant women and nursing mothers.

Patients with neuromuscular disorders cannot receive injections.

Individuals with a known allergy to botulinum toxin must absolutely avoid its use.

Facial broadening caused by excess facial fat or abnormal skeletal development is not suitable for improvement via botulinum toxin injection.

Side effects

Side Effects

Aside from the local reactions, muscle weakness, facial expression abnormalities, and dysphagia mentioned above, the diffusion of the medication may also affect muscle function in other areas. Local reactions can include swelling, bruising, and pain, which typically subside within 3 to 5 days. Muscle weakness manifests as a feeling of weakness and soreness in the calves or other injection sites within one week after injection; in some cases, this may persist for up to a month before gradually improving with time. Facial expression abnormalities refer to situations where improper administration during facial slimming procedures can lead to facial stiffness or asymmetry. Complications such as dysphagia are relatively rare.

Self-Symptom Check

Self-Diagnosis of Symptoms

If you notice significant muscle protrusion or hypertrophy in a specific area, which becomes more pronounced upon contraction, you may be a suitable candidate for Botox body contouring. However, a final diagnosis must be made by a qualified medical professional.

Select treatment plan

Doctors will develop personalized treatment plans based on individual circumstances such as the location of obesity, muscle development, and patient needs, including injection sites, dosages, and product brands. Patients should communicate thoroughly with their doctors to understand the rationality and feasibility of the proposed plan.
