Your questions
Frequently asked questions
What is Wrinkle-Relaxing Injections?
Small injections temporarily reducing the activity of selected muscles. The injected medicine reduces selected muscle activity so movement-related lines can soften temporarily.
Is this the same as filler?
No. These injections act on muscle activity. Fillers add material to selected areas; they serve different purposes.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of visits and spacing are personalized. We discuss a starting plan and review your response before recommending further treatment.
Can I combine it with another treatment?
Tell the clinic what you have recently had and what you are planning. Combining procedures is a separate decision; it depends on your skin, the products and the time available for recovery.
Will wrinkle-relaxing injections make my expression look frozen?
Treatment can be planned to soften selected movements while preserving expression. Dose, placement and your natural muscle activity matter; tell your dermatologist how much movement you want to keep.
Can forehead treatment make my eyebrows or eyelids droop?
Brow or eyelid drooping can occur. Tell your dermatologist if you rely on forehead movement to lift your brows or open your eyes so the area can be assessed before treatment.
When should I assess the effect or arrange a review?
Glassy generally reviews wrinkle-relaxing injections after 1–2 weeks. Your dermatologist checks movement, brow balance and your response before deciding whether an additional dose is appropriate; a touch-up is not automatic.
Will it remove lines that remain when my face is relaxed?
Reducing muscle activity addresses movement-related lines. A line that remains at rest may also involve skin changes or lost volume, so injections alone may not fully address it.
What should I avoid after wrinkle-relaxing injections?
Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas and follow the instructions given for your procedure. Check exercise and skincare timing with the team, especially if you had another treatment at the same visit.
How are the dose and price decided?
The proposed product, treatment areas and dose are discussed before you decide. Ask for the total quote and whether a review or any additional treatment has a separate charge; no fixed dose or free touch-up is assumed.
Is wrinkle treatment a good choice if I visit Korea only once a year?
If you cannot return for a 1–2-week review, discuss that before treatment. Temporary changes in brow shape or movement may need an in-person assessment or adjustment, so Glassy does not routinely prioritise wrinkle injections for a one-off annual visit without a follow-up plan.
What information should I share before treatment?
Mention previous toxin injections, unwanted reactions, medicines, muscle or nerve conditions, and pregnancy or breastfeeding. Your dermatologist needs the product, areas and timing of previous treatment before planning another session.
