Is trapezius botox worth it?
If the bulk you dislike hardens under your fingers when you shrug, then yes — relaxing that muscle is one of the few non-surgical ways to change a shoulder line, and the change reads clearly in photographs. If the bulk is fat or posture instead, an injection will underdeliver, and you are told so at the assessment, before you pay.
How much does body botox cost in Seoul?
At Dear Clinic a 100-unit body session is ₩150,000 (≈ $105) with a Korean botulinum toxin and ₩650,000 (≈ $465) with a premium imported one. That is the published rate for locals and international visitors alike, and your unit count is agreed at consultation before anything is injected.
How does an injection slim the shoulder line?
It does not remove anything. Botulinum toxin reduces how forcefully the injected trapezius contracts, so the muscle is used less intensely and its bulk softens over the following weeks. The visible effect is a lower, flatter shoulder slope and a neck that looks longer, and it appears gradually over weeks.
How many units will I need?
That is set by how developed the muscle is and whether one or both sides are treated, and sessions at Dear are quoted in 100-unit blocks. Your director measures and compares both sides first, starts at a conservative dose, and refines it at the review visit once the effect has settled.
When will I see a change, and how long does it last?
Nothing changes on the same day. Relaxation builds over the following weeks, and the slimming keeps developing after that as the muscle is used more gently. How long it holds varies with your muscle mass, training load and metabolism; Dear does not publish an average figure, so your director gives you a range for your own muscle at diagnosis and checks it against the review photographs.
Does it hurt, and is there downtime?
The injections are quick pinpricks into muscle, usually described as a short dull ache. Numbing cream is available. There is no recovery period — you leave and carry on with your day, avoiding a heavy gym session, deep massage of the area and a sauna for a few days.
What is the difference between the Korean and imported product?
Both tiers at Dear are genuine, licensed botulinum toxin used with the same technique and the same unit-based planning. They differ in manufacturer and price, and some patients simply prefer the imported tier they already know from home. Your director explains both at consultation and the choice stays with you.
Will my shoulders or calves get weak?
A conservative, well-placed dose reduces excess contraction while leaving the muscle working, so everyday lifting and walking should feel normal. Very heavy training in the first weeks can feel slightly different while the effect settles. Tell your director if you compete or train seriously, so the dose and the points are planned around it.
Can I treat the trapezius and calves in the same visit?
Yes, both areas can be addressed on the same day when the assessment supports it, and each area is quoted separately in its own 100-unit sessions. Whether it is sensible to do both at once depends on your total dose and your schedule, which your director reviews with you first.
Can the injection happen on the day I come in?
Usually yes. The consultation and the muscle assessment happen in the same visit, and if your doctor confirms suitability the injection can follow immediately. Dear Clinic is open 365 days a year including Sundays and holidays, so a Sunday shoulder appointment is a real one.
What if my shoulder bulk is fat rather than muscle?
Then this treatment is the wrong tool, and we will say so. Toxin acts on muscle contraction only and does nothing to fat, so injecting it would spend your money on the wrong tissue. Dear carries body contouring options for soft-tissue concerns, and the diagnosis decides which of them, if any, fits.
Is the price the same for visitors, and how do I book from abroad?
The same published rate applies to everyone — KRW is what you pay and the USD figure is shown for reference only. Send the consultation form below with your travel dates, and say whether you train or compete, because that changes where the points go and how many units are used. We reply in English within one business day and hold the slot without a deposit.
