Hello.
I am Dr. Dong-young Kim, Director of Cleor Clinic Hongdae Branch.
Have you ever noticed that when you frown or raise your eyebrows in front of the mirror,
the wrinkles remain deeply etched for a while?
"Even when I relax my face, the frown lines remain.
Even if I lift my forehead slightly, the horizontal lines become prominent, making my expression look heavy."
Expression wrinkles are changes that occur as the repetitive contraction of facial muscles accumulates.
The forehead has the frontalis muscle, the glabella has the corrugator and procerus muscles, and the eye area has the orbicularis oculi muscle.
Different facial muscles are located in each area,
and when these muscles contract in the same direction for years, at first,
wrinkles that were only visible when making expressions gradually turn into
set-in wrinkles that remain even when the face is relaxed.
Hongdae wrinkle Botox is a treatment that temporarily weakens the contraction signals of the facial muscles
to adjust the environment where wrinkles deepen.
Today, I will explain what Hongdae wrinkle Botox is,
and how the 5-type toxin line, ranging from domestic to imported products from the U.S. and Germany, differs.
What is Hongdae wrinkle Botox?
👉 Hongdae wrinkle Botox is a procedure that involves precisely injecting Botulinum toxin type A into facial muscle areas such as the forehead, glabella, and eye area
to block the secretion of acetylcholine at the nerve endings, thereby weakening the facial muscle contraction signals.
Botulinum toxin works by temporarily blocking the secretion of acetylcholine, which transmits contraction signals to muscles,
at the junction where nerves and muscles meet.
When the signals are reduced, the corresponding facial muscles do not contract as strongly as usual,
and it is known to adjust the flow of deepening dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle contraction for a certain period.
Since set-in static wrinkles are difficult to completely eliminate with Botox alone,
it is a category where it is common to proceed in stages with fillers or other treatments.
Technical features of Hongdae wrinkle Botox
👉 Hongdae wrinkle Botox is a treatment with four key features: Botulinum toxin type A action, precise injection into facial muscles by area, indication for dynamic wrinkles, and operation of a 5-type toxin line.
Botulinum toxin type A action
Muscles contract when acetylcholine is secreted from nerve endings,
and Botulinum toxin type A temporarily blocks this secretion process.
The effect begins about 2 to 4 days after the procedure,
the greatest change is reported at about 2 weeks,
and it generally lasts for about 4 to 6 months.
Precise injection into facial muscles by area
The forehead has the frontalis muscle, the glabella has the corrugator and procerus muscles, the eye area has the orbicularis oculi muscle, and the chin has the mentalis muscle.
Different facial muscles are located in each area.
As it is a procedure injected precisely according to the anatomical location and direction of each facial muscle,
it is operated so that expression lines are maintained naturally.
Indication for dynamic wrinkles
It is a treatment focused on dynamic wrinkles that become prominent when making expressions.
Since static wrinkles that are set in even when the face is relaxed are difficult to completely smooth out with Botox alone,
it is common to use it in combination with other options such as fillers or collagen boosters.
Operation of 5-type toxin line
At the Hongdae branch, 5 types of toxins are operated, ranging from domestic, U.S. FDA-approved domestic, domestic pure toxin,
imported German pure toxin, to imported original U.S. toxin.
It is a structure where you can choose according to your area and toxin preference.
Effects and advantages of Hongdae wrinkle Botox
👉 The key advantages of Hongdae wrinkle Botox are summarized into three: weakening of facial muscle contraction signals, precise injection by area, and abundant toxin options.
First, it temporarily weakens facial muscle contraction signals.
It is known to adjust the flow of deepening dynamic wrinkles when repetitive contractions are reduced,
and it is reported that the degree of wrinkling when making expressions gradually decreases.
Next, it acts precisely by area.
It is injected according to the anatomical location of different facial muscles in areas such as the forehead, glabella, eye area, bridge of the nose, under-eye area, and chin,
making it a composition focused on maintaining natural expression lines.
Finally, there are abundant toxin options.
With 5 types of lines operated, including domestic, U.S. FDA-approved domestic, domestic pure toxin,
German Merz Xeomin, and U.S. AbbVie Botox,
you can make a choice according to your needs and schedule.
Hongdae wrinkle Botox lineup
👉 At the Hongdae branch, wrinkle Botox is operated as a 5-type toxin × 1 area or a 5-area upper face package option.
Whether to proceed by area or with the 5-area upper face package,
and which toxin line to choose, will be discussed during the pre-treatment consultation.
Hongdae wrinkle Botox is recommended for those who:
Have deep wrinkles on the glabella, forehead, or eye area when making expressions
Feel that dynamic wrinkles have started to set in even when the face is relaxed
Want to care for only a single area
Want to treat the entire upper face with a 5-area package
Want to compare toxin options from domestic, U.S., and German imports
Side effects and precautions for Hongdae wrinkle Botox
👉 Hongdae wrinkle Botox is a treatment with reversible effects, so additional treatments are recommended after it gradually recovers after lasting about 4 to 6 months.
Immediately after the procedure, light stinging, minor bruising, or temporary swelling may occur in the treated area.
Most are reported to subside naturally within a few days.
About 2 weeks after the procedure, when the effect begins,
the movement of facial expressions in the area may feel weaker than usual,
but this is a flow that you will naturally get used to over time.
Since static wrinkles that have already set in are difficult to completely disappear with Botox alone,
it is recommended to use it in combination with other options such as fillers or collagen boosters.
As the possibility of resistance has been reported with repeated treatments,
it is a line where excessively short intervals are not recommended.
Please inform us in advance as treatment may be restricted in the following cases:
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
If there is active inflammation or infection in the treatment area
If you have a history of allergies or hypersensitivity to Botulinum toxin ingredients
If you have been diagnosed with neuromuscular diseases such as myasthenia gravis
If you are taking medications that affect toxin action, such as antibiotics (aminoglycoside class)
⚠️ Precautions before and after Hongdae wrinkle Botox treatment
👉 For Hongdae wrinkle Botox, management by timing both before and after the procedure affects the stability and recovery of the effect.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. When can I see the effects of Hongdae wrinkle Botox?
The effect begins about 2 to 4 days after the procedure,
and the greatest change is reported at about 2 weeks.
The degree of wrinkling when making expressions gradually decreases.
Q. How are the 5 types of Hongdae wrinkle Botox toxins different?
Domestic is a generally operated line,
Domestic premium is a domestic line approved by the U.S. FDA,
Domestic pure toxin is a domestic pure toxin with complex proteins removed.
Imported pure toxin is German Merz Xeomin, a line known to have a relatively low possibility of resistance as 150kDa complex proteins are removed,
Imported Botox is U.S. AbbVie Botox, a line that contains 900kDa complex proteins and has accumulated long-term clinical data.
Q. How should I choose between 1 area and the upper face package for Hongdae wrinkle Botox?
If you are concerned about only one specific area, the 1-area option is recommended,
and if you want to treat the entire upper face including the forehead, glabella, bridge of the nose, eye area, and under-eye area, the 5-area upper face package is an efficient composition.
The choice that fits your area concerns will be organized together during the pre-treatment consultation.
Q. How much pain is there with Hongdae wrinkle Botox?
It is reported as a level where you feel a stinging sensation due to the micro-injection method.
It is a treatment that is not very burdensome as the procedure time is short and numbing cream can be applied.
Q. Do deep wrinkles that have already set in disappear with Hongdae wrinkle Botox?
Since it is a treatment focused on dynamic wrinkles that appear when making expressions,
static wrinkles that have already set in regardless of expressions are difficult to completely disappear with Botox alone.
For deep wrinkles, it is recommended to use it in combination with other options such as fillers or collagen boosters.
Q. How often is it good to receive Hongdae wrinkle Botox?
Since it lasts for an average of 4 to 6 months,
additional treatment is recommended at the point when the effect gradually disappears.
As the possibility of resistance is reported with repeated treatments, excessively short intervals are not recommended.
Q. Won't my expressions become awkward after receiving Hongdae wrinkle Botox?
It is a treatment operated to maintain natural expression lines by being injected precisely according to the anatomical location and dosage of facial muscles by area.
Avoiding excessive dosage and designing according to your own expression pattern affects satisfaction.
Expression wrinkles are the result of accumulated repetitive contractions of facial muscles.
Because it progresses in a flow where wrinkles that were only visible when making expressions gradually set in,
there is a limit to completely smoothing out set-in wrinkles with one type of care,
and it is also a category where the flow of temporarily adjusting facial muscle activity itself is established.
Hongdae wrinkle Botox is a treatment that temporarily weakens muscle contraction signals by precisely injecting Botulinum toxin type A into facial muscles such as the forehead, glabella, bridge of the nose, eye area, under-eye area, and chin.
5 types of toxin lines, from domestic, U.S. FDA-approved domestic, domestic pure toxin, German Merz Xeomin, to U.S. AbbVie Botox, are operated together with 1-area and 5-area upper face package options.
