Botox & Toxin Treatments
Fast, precise wrinkle reduction and facial contouring using premium botulinum toxin brands. Essential for forehead lines, crows feet, jaw slimming, and preventative anti-aging.
What is Botox & Toxin Treatments?
Botulinum toxin injections are one of the quickest and most effective treatments for dynamic wrinkles — the lines that form from repeated facial expressions. In Korea, Botox has an additional major use: facial contouring, particularly jaw slimming through masseter muscle reduction.
Korean clinics offer both international brands (Allergan Botox, Galderma Dysport, Evolus Xeomin) and Korean-developed alternatives (Nabota, Meditoxin) that are KFDA-approved equivalents.
The procedure takes just 10–15 minutes with no downtime. Results begin to appear within 3–5 days and reach full effect at approximately 2 weeks. For wrinkle areas, effects typically last 3–6 months.
Jaw slimming (masseter reduction) is one of the most popular Botox applications in Korean aesthetics. By relaxing the masseter muscle, the jawline gradually slims from a square or wide shape to a more V-shaped contour.
Preventative Botox — starting treatments in your mid-20s to early 30s before deep lines form — is increasingly popular.
At premium Korean clinics, full-face Botox costs $300–$700.
