What is Botox used for in Korea?
Botulinum toxin relaxes the muscle it is injected into. In Korean clinics it is commonly used for expression lines, for the jaw (masseter) muscle and for the shoulders. Whether it suits you is decided by the doctor after an examination.
Why do Korean clinics offer different toxin brands?
Besides imported products such as Botox and Xeomin, several botulinum toxins are made in Korea, for example Botulax, Nabota and Meditoxin. Clinics often list prices by brand, so always ask which product will be used.
How do I know the product is genuine?
- Ask which brand and how many units will be used
- Ask to see the sealed vial or package before treatment
- Make sure it is injected by a doctor
- Keep the details in your written record
What should I avoid after treatment?
Clinics usually give simple aftercare advice, such as avoiding pressure on the area and strenuous exercise for a short time. Follow the instructions you receive in writing, and tell the clinic when you plan to fly.
Can I combine Botox with other treatments on the same trip?
Many visitors plan Botox alongside fillers, boosters or laser sessions. The doctor decides the order and the gap between treatments.
