Temple Botox in Jamsil, Seoul
The short answer
Temple botox at Shinebom Clinic in Jamsil, Seoul relaxes the temporalis muscle at the side of the head, which can soften a bulky temple outline and ease tension in that area. The doctor checks first that the width comes from muscle, since a sunken temple needs the opposite approach. A touch-up is available within one month if needed.
Key facts
- Target: the temporalis muscle at the temple
- Purpose: refine the upper face outline
- Not for: hollow temples, which need volume instead
- Care: no pressing or deep massage for 1 week
- Touch-up: within 1 month if needed
Who considers temple botox?
It is sometimes asked for by people who clench or grind their teeth and feel tightness at the temples, or who want a slightly slimmer upper face outline. It is a contouring treatment and is often considered alongside jaw work, since both muscles are used for chewing.
How is it different from temple filler?
The two address opposite problems. Botox reduces muscle bulk and activity. Filler adds volume to a hollow. If your temples look sunken, botox could make the hollow more noticeable, so the doctor evaluates which situation you have. See under-eye and temple filler and sunken temples.
What happens during treatment?
- Consultation, including how your temples and jaw muscles function.
- Numbing cream or icing, if you want it.
- A few precise injections into the muscle.
- Aftercare guidance.
Genuine product and the full stated dose are used, with new tips each time. It is often discussed alongside jawline slimming.
What aftercare applies?
- Wash and apply makeup right away.
- Avoid pressing or deep massage for 1 week.
- Avoid heavy drinking, sauna and hard exercise for 1 week.
- Avoid tough, chewy food if the jaw was also treated.
Bruises fade in days, wheals in 1 to 2 days, and temporary stiffness is normal. Read the botox aftercare guide.
