Precautions and side effects of Botox procedures vary with the treatment area, whether other procedures are combined, and the individual's medical history. That is why checking these three points first at the pre-procedure consultation is the basic step. Repic Clinic in Gangnam, at 318 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, basement level 1 and 2nd floor, offers masseter Botox and wrinkle Botox (1 area and 3 areas). Results and adverse reactions may differ from person to person.
What to Check by Procedure Type
Even for the same Botox, the purpose and the points to discuss at the consultation differ by treatment area. The table below compares three procedures offered at Repic Clinic in Gangnam.
| Procedure | Target area | How it works | What to check at consultation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Masseter Botox | Masseter (chewing muscle) | Shapes the face line by reducing masseter volume | Condition of the masseter, desired extent of the line |
| Wrinkle Botox (1 area) | The relevant area among forehead, between the brows, around the eyes | Softens expression lines, relaxes muscle tension | Where wrinkles form and expression habits |
| Wrinkle Botox (3 areas) | Forehead + between the brows + around the eyes | Treats three areas at the same time | Extent of doing all three areas at once |
All three procedures work by relaxing muscle, so the core of the consultation is which muscle to treat and to what extent. The more areas there are, the more items there are to check.
What to Tell Your Doctor Before the Procedure and How Side Effects Are Handled
It is generally recommended to tell your doctor in advance about any medication you take, whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and your past medical history. Effects, side effects and recovery time can differ depending on skin condition, lifestyle and medical history, so they are hard to state definitively from general information alone.
If you notice any symptom that is different from usual after the procedure, you should let the clinic where you had the procedure know and be examined. The specific scope of Botox precautions and side effects is explained individually at the director's examination.
Order and Interval When Combining Botox and Filler
Botox relaxes muscle and filler replenishes volume, so how they work does not overlap. However, applying both at the same time to the same area can affect how the filler is distributed, so the order and interval are designed differently for each area.
| Approach | Interval | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Botox first, filler added later | After 7-14 days | Generally easier to predict the result |
| Same-day treatment | Same day | Possible when time is short; order designed by area |
If you are also considering filler, you can ask at the consultation whether genuine filler is used, whether vascular distribution is identified, and whether hyaluronidase (a filler-dissolving agent) is kept on hand for emergency treatment.
The Directors at Repic Clinic in Gangnam
Treatment plans are designed personally by the directors, with individually tailored application as the principle rather than a uniform protocol. The directors are as follows.
Dr. Yong-Heon Ha, Head Director, is a regular member of the Korean Society for Aesthetic and Plastic Laser Medicine and a regular member of the Korean Society for Laser Dermatology and Trichology.
Dr. Seung-yong Shin is a regular member of the Korean Society for Laser Dermatology and Trichology and has a history as Juvederm Main Medical Staff, Chaeum Main Medical Staff and Ulthera Main Medical Staff.

Can I have Botox and filler on the same day?
Same-day treatment can also be done. Generally, doing Botox first and adding filler 7 to 14 days later makes the result easier to predict, and the order and interval are designed differently by area.
How should I handle abnormal symptoms after Botox?
Effects and side effects may differ from person to person, so if you feel any symptom that is different from usual, it is safer to tell the clinic where you had the procedure and be examined. Telling your doctor about your medication and medical history before the procedure makes the consultation more accurate.
