💬 Q&A: Most Frequently Asked Questions About Botox! 🌟


1. Q: How long does Botox last?

A: Botox lasts 3-6 months, depending on the brand used and the injection area. For example:

  • Forehead lines and crow’s feet last about 3-4 months.

  • Jaw slimming or facial contouring lasts about 5-6 months.


    To prolong results, avoid activities that accelerate Botox metabolism, such as intense workouts.


2. Q: How long does it take for jaw Botox to show results?

A: You’ll start noticing softer jaw muscles in about 14 days. For visible slimming and a more contoured face, expect full results in 1 month. The best outcome appears 2-3 months after injection.


3. Q: How soon will I see results for wrinkle reduction?

A: Wrinkle Botox (forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet) starts working within 3-7 days, with the full effect in 14 days. Your skin will look smoother, firmer, and more natural.


4. Q: What’s the difference between American and Korean Botox?

A: American Botox (Allergan) has 99.5% purity, reducing resistance risk and providing 20% longer-lasting results than Korean brands.

Korean Botox (Botulax, Nabota) offers good quality at a more affordable price, making it ideal for beginners.


5. Q: Is counterfeit Botox dangerous?

A: Extremely dangerous! Fake Botox can cause infections, resistance, or unnatural results like stiffness or unintended muscle weakness. Always choose a certified clinic and verify the product before injection.

6. Q: How should I care for my skin after Botox?

A: Avoid alcohol, intense exercise, and heat exposure (saunas, steam rooms) for 3 days.

Do not massage or press on the treated areas to prevent unwanted migration of the product.


7. Q: Why does Botox sometimes make the face look stiff?

A: A stiff face or an unnatural smile may result from injections in incorrect locations or the use of excessive amounts of Botox. Therefore, choosing a qualified and experienced physician is very important.


8. Q: What should I do if I am resistant to Botox?

A: If you are resistant to Botox, the doctor may recommend changing the brand, for example, from a Korean brand to an American one, because the protein components of each brand are different. It is also advised to wait at least 3 months between each injection to reduce the risk of drug resistance.


9. Q: Can Botox help reduce sweating?

A: Yes! Botox can help reduce sweating in areas such as the armpits, palms, or feet by inhibiting the function of sweat glands. Results can be seen within 3-7 days and typically last about 3-5 months.


10. Q: How many units of Botox are needed to reduce sweating?

A: Generally, the injection for reducing sweating in the armpits requires about 50-100 units per side. The doctor will assess based on the suitability for each individual.

11. Q: Can Botox help reduce pores?

A: Yes, it can. Injecting a small amount of Botox can help reduce the activity of sebaceous glands, tighten pores, and make the skin appear smoother.


12. Q: Is Botox safe?

A: If injected by an experienced doctor, using genuine products certified by the FDA, and following post-injection recommendations strictly, it is considered very safe.


13. Q: Who is Botox suitable for?

A: It is suitable for anyone who wants to reduce wrinkles, jawline, sweat, or contour their face to look slimmer and tighter. It can be injected at any age.


14. Q: Can Botox reduce double chin?

A: Not directly, but mesotherapy can be used to dissolve fat along with Botox injections to contour the face for a tighter and more proportionate look.


15. Q: How long should I avoid alcohol after Botox injections?

A: At least 48 hours. However, if possible, it is recommended to avoid alcohol for 14 days to ensure the Botox results last as long as possible.


16. Q: Can I do HIFU after getting Botox?

A: Yes, but it is advisable to wait about 2 weeks after the injection to prevent any impact on the effectiveness of the Botox.

17. Q: Does getting Botox hurt?

A: During the injection, you may feel a slight sting, similar to an ant bite. However, the doctor will apply ice or use anesthetic to help, making it almost painless.


18. Q: Does Botox really help lift and tighten the skin?

A: Yes, it does! Injecting Botox to lift and tighten areas such as the eyebrows, outer corners of the eyes, or jawline can help make the skin firmer and achieve a natural-looking result.


19. Q: What should I be cautious about during my first Botox injection?

A: You should choose a reputable clinic that uses genuine products and strictly follow the doctor's post-injection recommendations.


20. Q: Does Botox really make the face slimmer?

A: Yes, it does! Botox injections to reduce the jawline can make the face appear slimmer, especially for those with prominent jaw muscles.
