Frequently Asked Questions

What are the possible side effects of Contouring Injection?

Temporary redness, swelling, and bruising may occur, and most tend to subside over time. In rare cases, pain or localized discomfort may accompany the procedure, so it is important to review medical history during consultation. Individual responses may vary depending on constitution.

What is the difference between Contouring Injection and Botox?

Contouring Injection uses ingredients aimed at reducing swelling and refining facial lines, while Botox (toxin) is used to relax or soften pronounced muscle lines by controlling muscle activity. The mechanisms and duration differ, so selection should be based on your treatment goals.

Why might Contouring Injection not be effective?

If the dosage is insufficient compared to the degree of swelling, or due to individual differences in constitution and metabolic rate, the perceived effect may be delayed. Lifestyle habits and aftercare can also influence the results, so it is helpful to consult with a professional to assess the cause.

How long does swelling last after a Contouring Injection?

Initial swelling may subside within about one week, but this can vary depending on the individual. Adequate rest and cold compresses may help with recovery.
