What does wrinkle botox actually do?
Botulinum toxin type A is placed in the small muscles that fold your skin when you make an expression. It temporarily reduces the nerve signal those muscles receive, so they pull less and the crease they were printing softens. Lines that stay visible while your face is completely relaxed come from volume loss or skin quality, and they answer to a different treatment.
How much does wrinkle botox cost in Seoul?
Pricing is per treated area and every tier is published: ₩30,000 (≈ $20) with a Korean toxin, ₩60,000 (≈ $45) for a Korean premium formulation, ₩90,000 (≈ $65) for an imported product and ₩150,000 (≈ $105) for the premium imported tier. The rate is the same for locals and international visitors, and the number of areas in your plan is agreed before treatment.
Which areas can be treated, and what counts as one area?
The commonly requested regions are the frown lines between the brows, the horizontal forehead lines and the crow's feet at the outer eye corners. Each region is planned and charged as its own area, so a two-region plan is quoted as two areas. Your director tells you how many areas your face actually needs at the consultation, and the estimate you approve is what you pay.
Is wrinkle botox worth it?
That depends on what your lines do when your face stops moving. Creases that flatten at rest respond directly to a toxin, and softening them is a small, reversible change. Creases that hold their shape at rest belong to volume or skin quality, and your director will say so at the diagnosis instead of taking the booking. The mirror test settles it in about a minute, before you have spent anything.
Will I look frozen or expressionless?
Only an over-dose does that. Our directors start modest and bring you back for review, and the forehead and eye areas in particular are treated with restraint, so the brows still lift and the smile still creases. Over-treating the forehead muscle is what drops a brow, which is the specific outcome the dose plan is built around.
How soon does it work, and how long does it last?
Softening develops over the days after your session, so nothing is judged in the mirror on the way out. The effect is temporary and wears off. How quickly depends on the dose planned for you, the muscle treated and how expressive you are, so your director gives you a realistic interval for your own plan at consultation instead of a figure from a web page.
Why won't you name the toxin brands on this page?
Korean pharmaceutical advertising law does not permit prescription toxin products to be named in public marketing, which is why the price list runs on tiers. That restriction stops at the consultation room door. Your director names the product, tells you where it is manufactured, and shows you the vial before drawing it up.
Is a more expensive tier better?
We will not make that claim in marketing copy. All four are botulinum toxin type A from different manufacturers, and which one suits you is a judgement made against your assessment, your budget and how you have responded to toxin before. What is fixed is everything else: all four rates published, the differences explained in the room, and the same dosing discipline whichever you choose.
Does it hurt?
The injections are quick and use a very fine needle, and most people describe them as brief pinches. Topical numbing is available on request and is applied before the session begins. There is no anaesthetic to recover from, and nothing about the visit needs a whole afternoon.
Is there downtime after wrinkle botox?
Practically none. Tiny red points at the injection sites fade quickly and you can return to your day straight away. Leave the areas unrubbed, stay upright for a few hours, and skip the gym, saunas and alcohol for a few days. Light make-up over the points is fine once they have settled.
Can I combine it with filler or a booster?
Yes, and most whole-face plans do. Dynamic lines answer to toxin, lost volume answers to filler, and skin quality answers to boosters or lifting devices, so a face carrying all three concerns is planned as a sequence with intervals between the steps. Our
botox versus filler comparison sets out which concern belongs to which, and your diagnosis decides the order.
Can I have it on the same day as my consultation, and is the price the same for visitors?
Usually yes. The EVE Muse 3D diagnosis and the doctor consultation take up the first part of the appointment, and the injections can follow immediately once your director has confirmed the lines are dynamic. Dear Clinic is open 365 days a year, including Sundays and public holidays. One published price list applies to residents and international visitors alike, with KRW as what you pay and USD shown for reference. Tell us how long you are in Seoul when you write: because the softening develops over the following days, most visitors fly home before the result has finished settling.
