[Seongsu/Ttukseom] Can Botox at Sio Clinic Provide a Lifting Effect?

[Seongsu/Ttukseom] Botox at Sio Clinic

Can it provide a lifting effect?

Hello, this is the director of Sio Clinic.

Today, many people are surprisingly

unaware of this aspect:

the 'hidden lifting effect of Botox.'

Let's discuss it in detail.

As we age, the reasons for

facial sagging are

numerous and complex.

Fat distribution changes,

the ligaments supporting the skin

gradually weaken, and overall skin elasticity

noticeably decreases.

However, among these numerous causes, one factor is commonly

overlooked yet has a decisive impact:

the excessive tension in our facial and neck 'muscles.'

Among these, there is a muscle called the 'platysma,' which broadly connects the neck and jawline.

This muscle plays a crucial role in the sagging of the mouth corners and

the aging process of the lower face.

When the tension in this pink, widely spread

platysma muscle increases,

the downward pulling force that strongly drags the face downwards

becomes immense.

Consequently, the mouth corners appear to droop more severely,

the sharp jawline gradually becomes dull and indistinct,

and it becomes a primary cause of deep shadows, like a mental burden.

In severe cases, it can also form

longitudinal neck wrinkles across the entire neck skin.

If platysma Botox is applied correctly to the right location,

the downward pulling force naturally weakens,

and the upward lifting force

relatively strengthens.

As a result, you can experience

a feeling that the entire face is

tightly pulled upwards, though you may not know why.

Let's look at a relevant

research paper together.

This is a clinical study that thoroughly compared and evaluated treatment satisfaction and effectiveness by directly injecting Botox into 381 patients and administering a placebo.

Key Content and Clinical Results

Anatomical Injection Site

The platysma muscle's motor nerves are concentrated in the upper part, so instead of injecting the entire neck, target injection is performed at the jawline and the vertical neck band area.

External Improvement Effect

As the downward pulling force decreases, the jawline becomes clearer, and the vertical neck bands are smoothed out.

Safety Profile

The main side effects of lower facial Botox, such as difficulty swallowing and voice changes, which are of greatest concern, did not occur in a single case.

As seen in this clinical data,

reducing the downward pull

instantly sharpens the jawline,

and the bothersome vertical wrinkles also improve noticeably.

Of course, if I were to exaggerate and say that

Botox alone can completely

eliminate a large, sagging double chin,

that would be a clear lie.

However, a procedure that additionally smooths

the overall elasticity line in this manner

is a good option.

It doesn't end here.

The platysma muscle is not the only

muscle that causes sagging and aging in the lower face.

Another key player is

the 'depressor anguli oris' muscle.

As its name suggests,

this muscle's role is to

pull down the corners of our mouth.

If the tension in this area is excessively high,

it makes marionette lines much deeper and more pronounced,

whether smiling or at rest.

Therefore, when precisely improving

the lower facial area with Botox,

a combined approach like the following

is highly effective:

Platysma Botox

Reduces downward pull towards the chin and neck

for jawline contouring

Depressor Anguli Oris Botox

Prevents mouth corner drooping

and alleviates marionette lines

Chin Botox

Lightly relaxes chin muscle tension

for a relaxed impression

By designing and performing simultaneous treatments with small amounts in various areas like this,

you can achieve a natural

lower facial lifting effect with a more relaxed impression.

While many people already manage wrinkles in the upper face, such as the forehead, glabella, and eye areas, with regular Botox treatments,

the mid-face and lower face areas often still feel

like there's some kind of barrier to entry.

However, lower facial Botox is an excellent introductory treatment

that offers a light and smart approach

before starting more extensive and intensive lifting procedures.

Furthermore, even for those who are consistently receiving

various laser lifting treatments such as Ultherapy, Ultraformer, or Densify,

combining these muscle-targeting Botox treatments

as an 'alpha plus' concept

can lead to significantly amplified synergy and long-lasting

elasticity effects.

The popular treatment, Botox,

goes beyond simply smoothing wrinkles

and can become an excellent anti-aging lifting

solution depending on how it is designed and applied.

Most importantly, it offers

excellent cost-effectiveness and satisfaction

relative to time and expense.

Considering the detailed information provided today,

instead of complex and burdensome methods,

through smart muscle control,

I sincerely hope you can lightly and refreshingly

regain your sagging jawline and tired mouth area elasticity.
