No Pain, No Gain - Prologue

 

 

Who does not know about Botox? Hardly anyone never heard of it, I believe.

 

 

What we know as 'Botox' is the name of a cosmetic injection using 'Botulinum Toxin', made by a company from USA called Allergan, to reduce the unwated muscle on various spots on your face or/and body. There are number of companies that produce the injection; we at She's Plastic Surgery are using Botox (Allergan, USA), Xeomin (Merz, Germany), and Botulax (Hugel, Korea).

 

 

 

 

 

All three are FDA or KFDA approved and known for their effectiveness, the only thing different is the duration of the effect: how long it will continue and therefore when to get the next shot. In average of four to six months would be the interval in general, though we explain that the Botox would stay longer, then the Xeomin, followed by Botulax, which makes the difference in cost as well.

 

 

Actually, many of our customers have doubt and question about Botulax, especially about its effectiveness. It indeed is very cost effective, therefore attractive, only if it is convincing enough to be chosen over other brands.

 

 

 

 

 

Hence, here I decided that I would try the Botulax myself on my concerned areas, hoping it helps you to understand more about the experience.

 

 

Let me come back with the updates. Wish me luck!
