Botox is a procedure that temporarily reduces excessive movement of specific muscles by injecting botulinum toxin in small amounts. It is widely used to smooth out expression lines on the forehead and around the eyes, reduce developed muscles (such as the jaw and calves), and treat hyperhidrosis.
It has a wide range of applications, including improvement of expression lines (between eyebrows, forehead, around the eyes), reduction of the square jaw (masseter muscles) and calf muscles, skin Botox (pores, sebum), and hyperhidrosis.
The effects appear over 2 to 7 days after the injection and usually last for 3 to 6 months. With repeated treatments, the interval may increase as the muscles weaken.
Accurate injection is crucial, as inaccurate dosage or placement can result in awkward facial expressions or asymmetry. Avoid rubbing or lying down immediately after the procedure.
It looks natural if the correct dosage is injected accurately. It may look awkward if an excessive or inaccurate dose is injected.
Since the effect lasts for 3 to 6 months, it is usually repeated according to that cycle.
Yes, it is possible. Many dermatology and plastic surgery clinics in Korea treat foreign patients, and there are also many hospitals that offer consultations or interpretation support in foreign languages such as English, Chinese, and Japanese. On K-Dia, you can compare hospital information and real reviews, and consult directly via chat before your visit.
You can usually return to your daily routine immediately, and there is virtually no recovery period. If you are traveling for a short time, it is recommended to schedule your trip with ample time to check your progress right after the procedure, and to discuss post-recovery care and precautions with the hospital in advance.
Costs vary significantly depending on the hospital, the scope of the procedure, the equipment and materials used, and the anesthesia method. Since Korea has a well-developed infrastructure for procedures, making consultations and price comparisons relatively easy, it is recommended to compare quotes from multiple hospitals rather than relying on just one. You can check event prices and actual reviews by hospital on K-Dia.
