▶Botox Injection (Wrinkle Treatment)
This botulinum toxin type A product is derived from animal sources (bovine, sheep, and pig) and contains human serum albumin. While the manufacturing process includes rigorous screening, the risk of unknown disease transmission—such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease—is considered extremely rare. In the U.S., botulinum toxin was first used for strabismus (crossed eyes) in 1977. Since then, it has become widely used for relaxing muscle tension. In the field of aesthetics, it has received FDA approval and was used in over 1.6 million treatments in the year 2001 alone, with no reported cases of infection to date. However, because this is a biological product, the possibility of unknown risks cannot be entirely ruled out. Please note that in Japan, only injections into the glabellar lines (frown lines) and crow’s feet using Botox Vista are officially approved. All other aesthetic uses are considered off-label.
- Facial Expression Lines: Reduces wrinkles caused by muscle movement. Effects usually begin to appear within about 3 days and typically last for around 4 months.
- Hyperhidrosis (Underarm Sweating): Injections into the underarms can significantly reduce sweating. Effects start within a few days and last about 4 months. In cases of excessive sweating, discomfort may return within 2 months.
- Calves: Injections into the gastrocnemius muscles can slim the calves by inducing muscle atrophy. Results may take about 4 weeks to appear. Some people may feel slightly restricted when climbing stairs, but this does not interfere with daily life. For optimal results, 3–4 treatments at regular intervals are recommended. Individual results and duration may vary.
- Jaw Angles (Masseter Muscles): Weakens the chewing muscles to create a slimmer face. Effects begin to show around 4 weeks after treatment. Chewing hard foods may become slightly difficult, but normal meals are unaffected. Repeating the procedure 3–5 times over several months enhances and prolongs the effect. In some cases, nasolabial folds may deepen, or cheeks may appear sunken in thinner individuals. Additional correction treatments may be needed in such cases (charged separately).
- Salivary Glands: Atrophying the submandibular and parotid glands can lead to a more defined jawline and slimmer facial appearance.
- Gummy Smile: Weakens the muscles that lift the upper lip, reducing the visibility of the gums when smiling. Effects usually begin in 3 days and last around 4 months.
- Shoulder Slimming / Shoulder Stiffness Relief: Injections into the trapezius muscles can reduce shoulder bulk and help relieve stiffness. Effects typically last about 4 months. In rare cases, tension may shift to other areas.
- Nefertiti Lift: Relaxes the platysma muscle to create a more contoured and lifted appearance under the chin and along the jawline.
▶Botox Injection (Wrinkle Treatment)
- Swelling and Bruising: Mild swelling at the injection site may occur but typically subsides within a few hours. Bruising (blue discoloration) as subcutaneous hemorrhage may develop at the injection site and usually fades within approximately 2 weeks.
- Facial Stiffness and Heaviness: Depending on the treated area, you may experience temporary facial stiffness, heaviness, or sensation of tightness. These effects generally improve over a period of about 3 months.
- Infection: As this product is derived from biological sources, there is a potential risk of infection; however, such cases are extremely rare and have been rarely reported.
▶Botox Injection (Wrinkle Treatment)
- Massage: If Botox is injected into the face, please avoid massaging the treated area for 3 days.
- Cleansing and Bathing: You may wash your face, shampoo your hair, take a shower, and apply makeup starting from the same day. However, please refrain from taking a bath until the next day.
- Driving and Operating Vehicles: If nitrous oxide (laughing gas) anesthesia was used, please refrain from driving a car, riding a motorcycle, and operating a bicycle or any other vehicle on the same day.
- Contraception: As this product is derived from biological sources, we ask that you use contraception for 3 months.
- Warranty for Treatment Results: For treatments targeting facial expression lines, we offer a 1-month guarantee period. This guarantee does not apply to treatments involving the masseter muscles, cheeks, underarms, calves, or shoulder slimming. Please monitor the results for approximately 1 week after the procedure. If you feel the effects are insufficient, please return for a follow-up consultation regarding possible additional injections. However, in some cases, additional treatment may not be appropriate. If a noticeable effect is only achieved by exceeding the standard dosage, an additional fee may be charged for the increased amount in future sessions.
- Other Concerns: If you have any questions or notice anything unusual, please do not hesitate to contact us.
