Botox in Seoul
softer lines, natural expression
Botox is a purified botulinum toxin injected in tiny doses to relax specific muscles, softening expression lines such as forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet — and, in larger muscles, slimming the jaw.
Last updated
What is Botox and how long does it last?
Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes the muscles behind dynamic wrinkles, so lines like frown lines and forehead wrinkles soften while expression stays natural. At JIA Skin Clinic Gangnam an appointment takes about 10–20 minutes with no real downtime. Effects typically begin within 3–7 days, peak at around 2 weeks and last about 3–4 months for wrinkles (often longer for jaw slimming). For lines that remain at rest, your doctor may combine it with fillers or skin boosters.

At JIA, Botox is about softening — not freezing. Your physician studies how your face moves before deciding where, and how much, to inject.

Areas we commonly treat
Botox works best on lines caused by movement and on overactive muscles. Common areas include:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines (the “11s”) between the brows
- Crow's feet and smile lines around the eyes
- Bunny lines, chin dimpling and a gummy smile
- Jawline slimming (masseter Botox) and teeth-clenching tension
- Neck bands, a subtle brow lift and a lip flip

How a Botox appointment works
Consultation
Your doctor watches how you frown, smile and raise your brows, and discusses the look you want to keep.
Injection mapping
Points and units are marked for each muscle; the skin is cleansed and a cooling or numbing step can be used.
Precise injections
A few tiny injections take around 10–20 minutes. Small bumps or redness fade within an hour or so.
Results & review
Softening appears in 3–7 days and settles by about 2 weeks, when a touch-up can be checked if needed.

Botox questions, answered
Does Botox look frozen?
It shouldn't. JIA doses conservatively to soften lines while keeping natural movement. If more relaxation is wanted, a small top-up can be added at the 2-week review.
How long does Botox take to work and last?
Most people notice softening within 3–7 days, with the full effect at about 2 weeks. Results typically last 3–4 months for wrinkles and can last longer for jaw slimming.
Does Botox hurt?
Injections feel like quick pinches. A cooling pack or numbing cream can be used, and the whole appointment is usually over in minutes.
Botox vs fillers — what's the difference?
Botox relaxes muscles that cause moving lines, while dermal fillers restore volume and fill folds. Many plans use both in different areas.
Can I get Botox while visiting Seoul?
Yes. There's no downtime, so you can continue sightseeing the same day. Ideally schedule it early in your trip so a 2-week check is possible, or review results with us over WhatsApp.
