From first contact to aftercare — here is exactly what to expect as an international patient.

Share your aesthetic goals and any relevant medical history. We will recommend specific treatments and provide transparent pricing before you arrive in Seoul. Many patients plan their treatment around existing travel dates — Botox and fillers require only one clinic visit with no downtime, making them ideal for tourists with packed itineraries.
Arrival: Consultation Day
Arrive at RE:BERRY Myeongdong (2 minutes from Myeongdong Station Exit 6). Your coordinator greets you and handles check-in. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek or Dr. Hoon-Sung Son performs a comprehensive facial analysis, discusses treatment options, shows before-and-after examples of similar cases, and creates your personalized injection plan. Consultation is complimentary and takes 15-20 minutes. You receive a clear written quote with no hidden fees before any treatment begins. Most patients proceed to treatment the same day.
Treatment: Expert Injection
Numbing cream is applied if needed (15-20 minutes for fillers, optional for Botox). The physician performs your injections using only genuine, KFDA-approved products with verifiable batch numbers. Botox takes 10-15 minutes. Fillers take 20-40 minutes. Combined treatments take 30-45 minutes. You see filler results immediately. The entire experience — from arrival to departure — typically takes 60-90 minutes including consultation and preparation time.
Post-Treatment: Aftercare & Follow-Up
Receive detailed aftercare instructions in your language (printed and digital). Mild swelling from fillers resolves in 1-3 days. Botox results appear at 3-5 days, full effect at 14 days. A complimentary 2-week follow-up is included with every treatment. If you have left Seoul, our coordinators provide remote aftercare support via WhatsApp, LINE, or WeChat with photo review by your treating physician. RE:BERRY Myeongdong maintains your treatment records for future visits, making continuity of care seamless.

Clinical Science Behind RE:BERRY’s Injectable Protocols
How peer-reviewed research guides every Botox and filler treatment at our clinic.
Evidence-Based Product Selection
At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, product selection for each treatment zone is guided by clinical evidence rather than commercial preference. For the perioral region (lips and mouth corners), we use Juvederm Volbella and Ultra because Weinkle et al. (2009, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery) demonstrated superior lip augmentation outcomes with Juvederm compared to collagen-based alternatives, with 91% patient satisfaction at 6 months. For the tear trough and fine periorbital lines, we prefer Belotero Balance because Hevia (2009, Journal of Drugs in Dermatology) showed its unique cohesive polydensified matrix integrates smoothly into thin tissue, virtually eliminating the Tyndall effect that plagues other fillers in this delicate area.
Combination Therapy Rationale
Modern injectable aesthetics has moved beyond single-product treatments to multi-modal combination protocols. Our approach at RE:BERRY Myeongdong follows the “three-layer rejuvenation” framework supported by Carruthers et al. (2016, Dermatologic Surgery): Layer 1 uses Botox to relax dynamic muscles (upper face), Layer 2 uses HA fillers to restore volume (mid and lower face), and Layer 3 uses biostimulatory agents like Radiesse or Juvelook to improve overall skin quality. This layered approach produces results that are more natural and longer-lasting than any single treatment alone.
Safety Protocols and Product Authenticity
Product counterfeiting is a documented concern in global aesthetics. A 2018 survey by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery found that up to 10% of injectable products in some markets may be counterfeit or improperly stored. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, every product is sourced directly from authorized Korean distributors with full cold-chain documentation. Patients can verify batch numbers against manufacturer databases. Our physicians use fresh, single-use vials and syringes for each patient — never shared or re-used products. These protocols align with KFDA (Korea Food and Drug Administration) guidelines and international best practices from the Aesthetic Multi-Specialty Collaboration on Injectable Safety (AMIS).
Korean Innovation in Injectable Aesthetics
South Korea leads global innovation in injectable aesthetics, having developed pioneering products like polynucleotide skin boosters (Rejuran), PDRN-based regenerative injectables, and advanced HA formulations like Juvelook. Korean physicians perform more injectable procedures per capita than any other nation, generating extensive real-world data on technique optimization. Research from Kim et al. (2019, Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology) demonstrated that Korean injection techniques — particularly the use of micro-cannulas for filler placement — reduce bruising rates by 60-70% compared to needle-only approaches. RE:BERRY Myeongdong integrates these evidence-based Korean innovations into every treatment protocol, offering international patients access to techniques and products not yet available in their home countries.

What International Patients Say About RE:BERRY Myeongdong
“I researched for months before choosing RE:BERRY Myeongdong. The FAQ on their website answered almost every question I had. When I arrived, the experience matched exactly what was described. No surprises, no upselling.”
“As a first-time Botox patient, I had so many questions. Dr. Son spent 20 minutes explaining everything in detail. The LINE follow-up after I returned to Bangkok was incredible — I sent photos and got feedback within hours.”
“The transparent pricing was what convinced me. Every other clinic I contacted in Seoul gave vague answers about cost. RE:BERRY quoted me exact prices via WeChat before I even booked my flight.”

One day is sufficient. There is no downtime for Botox, and filler swelling is minimal. You can fly the same evening. However, RE:BERRY Myeongdong recommends staying 2-3 days for a complimentary follow-up and to enjoy Myeongdong’s shopping and dining.
Yes. Both Botox and fillers are safe to fly after on the same day. Cabin pressure does not affect treatment results. RE:BERRY Myeongdong treats many international patients who fly home the same day or next morning. Stay hydrated during your flight.
Stop blood-thinning medications and supplements (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba) 7 days before treatment. No alcohol for 24 hours prior. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin if possible. Inform your doctor of any medications or allergies during consultation.

Botox relaxes muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles that appear with movement, like crow’s feet and forehead lines). Fillers add volume to fill static wrinkles, enhance contours (lips, cheeks, chin), and restore age-related volume loss. Most patients benefit from both.
RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers Botox for: forehead lines, glabella (frown lines), crow’s feet, bunny lines (nose), lip flip, masseter (jaw slimming), mouth corners, neck bands (platysmal bands), and hyperhidrosis (sweating). Each area requires specific dosing and technique.
Filler treatment areas include: cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lips, chin, jawline, nose (non-surgical rhinoplasty), temples, forehead, tear troughs (under-eye hollows), and hands. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek selects the appropriate filler product for each specific zone.
Botox typically lasts 3-6 months depending on the treatment area, dosage, and individual metabolism. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, forehead and glabella Botox tends to last 4-6 months, while crow’s feet Botox lasts 3-4 months due to frequent muscle use. Regular maintenance extends the interval over time.
Filler duration depends on the product: Juvederm Ultra (lips) 9-12 months, Juvederm Voluma (cheeks) 12-18 months, Belotero (fine lines) 6-9 months, Radiesse (cheeks/jawline) 12-24 months. Lifestyle factors like metabolism rate, exercise intensity, and sun exposure affect longevity.
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm, Belotero, Restylane) can be fully dissolved using hyaluronidase enzyme injection. The dissolving process takes 24-48 hours. RE:BERRY Myeongdong stocks hyaluronidase for this purpose. See our complications and corrections page for more details.
Common minor risks include redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at injection sites — all temporary. Rare complications include asymmetry (correctable with touch-up), filler migration, vascular occlusion (extremely rare with experienced injectors), and Botox diffusion. RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s physician-only injection policy minimizes these risks significantly.
Yes. Botulinum toxin has been used medically since the 1970s and cosmetically since 2002. Long-term safety data from over 20 years of cosmetic use shows no cumulative toxicity. Repeated treatments may actually improve results as muscles gradually weaken. RE:BERRY Myeongdong follows evidence-based dosing protocols.
The ₩1,560,000 package combines three synergistic treatments: Radiesse provides structural volume and collagen stimulation, Belotero Soft addresses fine lines and surface texture, and Juvelook Dermashine 5cc delivers deep skin hydration and regeneration. Together they create comprehensive facial rejuvenation for patients seeking total skin improvement.
No. Both Botox and fillers are contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding as a precautionary measure. Please inform your doctor at RE:BERRY Myeongdong if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or currently nursing.
