It addresses everything from expression lines between the brows, on the forehead, and around the eyes to square jaw, trapezius, calves, hyperhidrosis, pores, and sebum.
Change does not appear on the day of injection but usually begins to appear 1 to 2 weeks later.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • When is Botox used, and when is filler used?

    Botox temporarily relaxes muscles to address expression lines or contours in areas with prominent muscles. Filler restores volume or contour in hollow areas. The choice depends on what causes the wrinkles and the change you want.

  • When do the results appear, and how often should I have the treatment?

    Results usually begin to appear after 1–2 weeks and may vary from person to person. At LOERE, Botox is given at intervals of at least 3 months.

  • What if the effect is not enough?

    LOERE does not provide separate touch-ups. Because the effect of Botox usually begins to appear after 1–2 weeks, if it feels insufficient, we check your progress and then decide whether an additional treatment is needed.

  • Which products do you use?

    At LOERE, we use both imported and Korean-made products. The doctor personally determines the product and dose according to the area, purpose, and muscle mass, and even with the same product, the dose differs depending on the treatment area.

  • Is Botox also used for hyperhidrosis?

    In addition to expression lines, a square jaw, the trapezius, and the calf line, it is also used for hyperhidrosis and for skin Botox, which addresses pores and sebum. The product and dose are determined differently depending on the area and purpose.

  • Are there cases in which I cannot have the treatment?

    Treatment cannot be performed if you have a neuromuscular disorder. Treatment is restricted if you are allergic to any of the ingredients, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have inflammation or infection in the treatment area.

  • Will I have swelling or bruising after treatment?

    Bruising, swelling, and stiffness may occur, and in most cases these improve within 1–2 weeks. If the temporalis muscle was treated, you may have a headache for 2–3 days, and after forehead treatment, your eyes may feel heavy. Other side effects may rarely occur; we explain them in detail during your consultation before treatment.
