To achieve meticulous treatments
The same doctor handles routine maintenance.
Botox injections are a delicate treatment where the final result varies based on the doctor's skill and experience. Muscle structure and movement differ from person to person, so even injecting the same amount using the same technique will yield varying degrees of effect. If the dosage or injection site is mistaken, the face can become stiff, resulting in unnatural-looking expressions around the eyes or across the entire face. Furthermore, determining whether Botox injections are the appropriate treatment for the patient is crucial. For patients concerned about forehead wrinkles who also exhibit eyelid drooping or ptosis, administering Botox can sometimes cause the eyelids to feel heavy, potentially leading to headaches or stiff shoulders. Therefore, a thorough examination is essential.
At BIANCA CLINIC, our procedures are performed by doctors with skilled techniques and extensive experience. For patients requiring ongoing Botox injections, the same doctor will be assigned from the initial treatment through all subsequent maintenance sessions.
"How effective was the last one?"
"What is the appropriate dosage for that patient?"
To achieve a high-quality result tailored to your preferences, we meticulously adjust the injection site, depth, and precise dosage for each patient based on their individual symptoms, comparing it to previous treatments. Our signature technique preserves natural muscle movement, creating a relaxed, gentle expression that looks as if no treatment was performed—a point of pride at BIANCA CLINIC. Whether you're anxious about your first Botox injection or have been dissatisfied with results from other clinics, we invite you to experience BIANCA CLINIC's renowned, customized Botox treatment.

CHARACTERISTICSWhat is Botox injection?
Botox injections are a treatment that relaxes muscle tension to improve expression lines. The substance used in the treatment is a type of protein called botulinum toxin (botulinum toxin), produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. By injecting this botulinum toxin at the junction between muscles and nerves, it is expected to temporarily paralyze muscle movement or suppress the secretion of neurotransmitters involved in muscle movement.
Botox injections were first approved for cosmetic purposes in the United States and have been used in the field of cosmetic dermatology for over a decade. It is now approved in over 80 countries, including the UK, and in Japan, its safety was established with approval by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in April 1997. Furthermore, as it is administered via injection and the cost is relatively reasonable compared to other cosmetic procedures, Botox injections are an accessible treatment even for those who are hesitant about surgical procedures or are new to cosmetic medicine. However, on the other hand, the results can vary significantly depending on the skill of the practitioner.
In addition to reducing expression lines, it offers a wide range of benefits.
Botox injections work by inhibiting the release of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. This mechanism allows for treatment applications in various areas. The effects of Botox injections are as follows:
・Reduction of expression lines that appear on the forehead, between the eyebrows, at the corners of the eyes, under the eyes, around the mouth, and on the chin
・Reduced jawline volume due to teeth clenching
・Lifting the corners of the mouth
・Improvement of gummy smile*
・Targeted weight loss for areas like calves and arms
・Relief of stiff shoulders
・Shaping the collarbone and décolleté line
・Treatment for hyperhidrosis and body odor
・Suppression of excessive sebum secretion, etc.
Botox injections offer a wide range of benefits beyond those mentioned above and are used not only in cosmetic surgery and dermatology but also in dentistry. While procedures for cosmetic purposes, such as reducing wrinkles or targeted fat reduction, are generally not covered by insurance, Botox injections for therapeutic purposes—such as treating severe hyperhidrosis or body odor—may be covered in some cases. If you are unsure whether your procedure is eligible for insurance coverage or have questions about costs, please feel free to consult with us.
Gummy smile... a condition where more gum tissue is visible than usual when smiling.
Benefits
MERITScar-free treatment requiring no scalpel
Botox injections are performed without making any incisions in the skin, so there is no need to worry about scars. Only a slight needle mark may remain immediately after the injection, but it will disappear within half a day to one day.
The treatment takes a short amount of time.
Botox injections take only about 10 to 20 minutes to complete as a standalone treatment. This makes it a recommended cosmetic procedure for busy individuals with limited time.
Minimal downtime with little impact on personal life
Botox injections have relatively short downtime compared to other cosmetic procedures, typically improving within 1 to 3 days, or up to about a week at most. Therefore, it is a treatment that minimally impacts your personal life.
Recommended Features
RECOMMENDED POINTSTo help first-time patients avoid Botox injection mistakes
If Botox injections result in an unnatural appearance due to excessive dosage, there are injections available to reduce the effect. However, it is impossible to completely remove the medication, making corrective procedures to restore the pre-treatment state difficult. Therefore, the only option is to wait for the effect to diminish over time.
The effects of Botox injections typically last about 3 to 4 months. To avoid having to endure this period without treatment, it's important not to overdo the dosage. While there are general guidelines for Botox dosage based on the treatment area, symptoms like wrinkle depth vary from patient to patient. For those receiving Botox injections for the first time, it's crucial to start with a small amount of Botox and gradually adjust the dosage and treatment areas.
At BIANCA CLINIC, the same doctor will be responsible for your care from your initial treatment through regular maintenance. Please feel free to share any requests or concerns you may have based on your previous treatment. We will propose the optimal injection volume after considering various factors, including your past treatments, your requests, and your skin condition.
The Difference Between Botox Injections and Hyaluronic Acid Injections and How to Choose
Botox injections and hyaluronic acid injections are both highly popular treatment options. Both are representative methods for wrinkle treatment and share the commonality of involving the injection of a substance. Consequently, we often hear patients ask questions like, "I don't understand the difference in their effects," or "Which treatment is better?"
First, as mentioned earlier, Botox injections are a treatment that temporarily relaxes muscle movement, effectively addressing wrinkles formed during facial expressions. Hyaluronic acid, on the other hand, is a naturally occurring moisturizing component in the body. When injected into areas with wrinkles, it replenishes the skin's hyaluronic acid deficiency. This plumps the skin from within, lifting it and helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Therefore, it is particularly useful for wrinkles not caused by facial expressions, such as nasolabial folds. Furthermore, it not only hydrates the skin but also helps restore volume to areas that have lost it. For this reason, it is also used as a treatment to enhance the tear troughs, plump the lips, and create a more rounded forehead.
Considering these factors, when deciding between Botox injections and hyaluronic acid fillers, it's crucial to base your choice on the cause of your wrinkles. Are your wrinkles caused by muscle activity, or by volume loss due to aging? If you're unsure about the cause of your skin concerns, please feel free to consult with us. At BIANCA CLINIC, we utilize the high-performance skin diagnostic device VISIA. During your consultation, we will professionally analyze your current skin condition and propose the optimal treatment plan for you.

Will stopping Botox injections make you look older? The truth behind the intriguing rumor
Stopping Botox injections will not cause wrinkles or sagging to worsen compared to before treatment, nor will it trigger any rebound effects. Botox injections do not fundamentally resolve concerns like wrinkles or prominent jawlines; they are a treatment that temporarily suppresses muscle movement to make them less noticeable. Therefore, when you stop getting injections, the effects gradually fade, and over time, the skin returns to its pre-treatment state. You might feel like your wrinkles worsen after stopping treatment because you've become accustomed to the appearance while Botox was effective. However, this is simply the Botox effect wearing off. If you wish to maintain the results achieved with Botox, it's recommended to schedule your next treatment before your skin fully returns to its original state. Furthermore, if you seek permanent results, considering surgical procedures is also recommended.

Botox
BOTOX Vista®
Allergan's botulinum toxin product. It is the only one approved by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and has been used worldwide for over 25 years in aesthetic medicine and anti-aging care. Unlike other unapproved type A botulinum toxin products in Japan, its efficacy and safety for Japanese individuals have been confirmed. We also recommend it for first-time Botox® users and those seeking consistent results.
CORETOX®
A botulinum toxin formulation developed by South Korea's Medytox. It is said to be a high-purity formulation that completely removes the complex proteins believed to cause resistance, thereby suppressing the risk of reduced efficacy due to antibody production seen with conventional formulations.
Some individuals receiving regular Botox treatments may feel that "the effects of Botox seem weaker" or "the effects don't last as long." This Coretox formulation minimizes the risk of antibody formation to near zero, making it suitable for those concerned about diminishing Botox efficacy.
Additionally, it is considered a formulation less likely to cause allergic reactions since it excludes human serum albumin and animal-derived substances. Approved by the Korean MFDS in 2016, it is a next-generation botulinum toxin formulation that has been gaining attention in recent years.
INNOTOX®
A liquid botulinum toxin formulation developed by South Korea's Medytox. Unlike previous formulations, it is pre-liquidized, eliminating the need for dilution. This feature avoids risks associated with dilution, such as variations in drug concentration and bacterial contamination during the dilution process.
Additionally, like Coretox, it contains no human serum albumin or animal-derived ingredients, making it relatively less likely to cause allergies or side effects. Furthermore, Phase III clinical trials conducted by the Korea Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) reported that its effects last longer than other formulations.
Treatment area
TREATMENT AREAForehead, between the eyebrows, outer corners of the eyes, bridge of the nose, corners of the mouth, gums, jawline, shoulders, neck, palms, calves, underarms, soles of the feet, etc.
Treatment Process
CONTENT OF TREATMENTPhysician's examination and counseling
Before proceeding with the treatment, we first conduct a consultation and examination by a physician. We will listen carefully to your concerns and requests, assess the condition of your wrinkles and muscles, and propose the appropriate injection volume. During the consultation, we will also explain post-treatment precautions and aftercare. Please feel free to ask any questions, no matter how minor, if you have any uncertainties.
Makeup removal at the injection site
Since we need to thoroughly examine your facial contours and skin condition, if you arrive wearing makeup, we ask that you remove it from the injection sites before treatment. After makeup removal, we will disinfect the injection areas.
treatment
The injection site is confirmed, and Botox is injected in small amounts using an extremely fine needle. Depending on the injection site and dosage, the procedure typically takes about 10 to 20 minutes.
After the treatment
After confirming the treatment area, cooling will be applied as needed, and the procedure will be complete. On the day of treatment, please avoid vigorously rubbing or massaging the injected area.

ボトックス注射のよくある質問
Q&A治療後のお化粧はいつからOKですか？
施術を受けていただいた当日もメイクしてお帰りいただくことが可能です。
Is there any swelling or redness after treatment?
治療後は注射した部位に内出血や痛み、腫れ、赤みなどの副作用が出る可能性があります。いずれも数日～1週間程度で治まることがほとんどですが、症状が長引く場合は医師にご相談ください。
治療後のお風呂やシャワーはいつからOKですか？
入浴、シャワーどちらも当日から可能です。ただし、ボトックス注射に含まれているボツリヌス毒素は熱に弱い性質を持つため、長時間の入浴やサウナ、岩盤浴などは控えるようにしてください。必要以上に体を温める行為は、施術部位の内出血を引き起こす恐れがあります。また、治療部位を揉んだりこすったりしないようご注意ください。
ボトックス注射後、運動はいつからOKですか？
翌日以降から可能です。ボトックス注射を打った当日については、体温が上昇して発汗するような激しい運動は控えるようにしてください。
施術を受けた当日に飲酒しても大丈夫ですか？
ボトックス注射後、当日については飲酒を控えてください。アルコールが血行を促進させ、内出血や赤みなど副作用が出るリスクが高まります。
ボトックス注射の施術は痛いですか？
一般的な採血針などで使用されている注射針は直径0.4～0.7mm程度なのに対し、ボトックス注射で使用しているのは直径0.2～0.3mm程度と極細の針です。チクッと感じることもありますが、切開する施術とは異なり麻酔が必須のものではないため、施術の痛みに対して過剰に心配する必要はありません。
ボトックス注射は施術後いつから効果が出始めますか？
ボトックス注射は、施術直後から筋肉の弛緩作用が始まるものではありません。注入部位や量、体質などによって個人差がありますが、一般的には施術後2～3日目から効果が効き始め、2週間ほどで安定し、エラでは1ヶ月ほどが目安ですまた、ボトックス注射を初めて打つ方の場合、効果が現れやすい傾向にあります。
1回の施術で十分な効果を感じることはできますか？
ボトックス注射は、1回の施術だけでも効果や変化を実感していただくことができます。永続的な効き目はないため、効果を維持させたい方は定期的に施術を受けていただくことをおすすめします。
ボトックス注射による効果はどれぐらいの期間持続しますか？
ボトックス注射の成分は体内で分解されるため、効果に限りがあります。持続する期間には個人差がありますが、一般的には3～4ヶ月ほど。時間の経過とともに効果は薄まっていき、やがて元の状態へと戻ります。予定に合わせてボトックス注射を受ける場合は、半月～1ヶ月ほど前に施術を受けるようにすると良いでしょう。
ボトックス注射を打つ頻度はどれぐらいが目安？
基本的には効果がなくなってきたと感じたタイミングで施術を受けていただくのが良いですが、前回のボトックス注入から少なくても3ヶ月間は間隔を空けるようにしてください。早い頻度で注入すると体内にボツリヌストキシンに対する抗体ができ、効果が出づらくなってしまう可能性があります。打つタイミングや頻度については担当医師にご相談ください。
