No Pain, No Gain - Botulax 1

 

 

Here I am back with the first part of my experience on Botulax, the Botulinum Toxin injection made in Korea. It was my first time having this injection, so hopefully it helps with some of you who consider the same for the first time.

 

 

I was told that the muscle on both sides of my jaw were quite developed, which the Botulinum Toxin injection will help a lot to make them slim. Of course, it would not change at one shot thus I was told to observe and repeat the session every 3-4 months to maintain. In general, the duration of Botulinum Toxin injection is 4-6 months dependin gon which brand you choose; this time I have chosen Botulax as I decided in my last essay.

 

 

 

 

 

In my case, the left side was developed more; if any of you have similar issues, there is no worries as the doctor injects thoroughly considering the balance. (I definately should be careful not to chew with only one side excessively!) After the numbing crea, it was fine when the needle went in but once the Botulax was injected I felt quite soar.

 

 

 

 

 

In some cases, like me, you will get bruises which will go away in about one week or so. I was told that I will be able to see the jaw line becoming slim after about a month. I can't wait to see; I will keep you updated!
