How Botox in Korea Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A precise 4-step botox injection protocol refined through thousands of treatments at our Myeongdong clinic.
Facial Muscle Assessment & Botox Brand Selection
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek evaluates your facial muscle dynamics through a series of expression tests — frowning, smiling, raising eyebrows, and clenching the jaw. This 15-minute assessment identifies which muscles are overactive and determines optimal injection points. Based on your goals, Dr. Baek selects from Allergan Botox (longest track record), Xeomin (pure botulinum toxin without complexing proteins), or premium Korean brands. For patients seeking botox in Korea for the first time, this consultation is available in 8 languages at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Precise Injection Mapping
Using anatomical landmarks and muscle palpation, Dr. Baek marks exact injection points with a surgical marker. Forehead wrinkle botox typically requires 4-8 injection points across the frontalis muscle. Crow’s feet need 3-4 points per side around the orbicularis oculi. Masseter jaw botox targets 2-3 deep points per side in the masseter belly. Each point placement follows Korean aesthetic medicine protocols that emphasize natural expression preservation — the goal is smooth skin, not a frozen look.
Micro-Dose Botox Injection
Using ultra-fine 30-32 gauge needles, each injection delivers 2-5 units of botulinum toxin precisely into the target muscle. The entire botox procedure takes 10-15 minutes for a single area (forehead, crow’s feet, or glabella) and 20-30 minutes for full-face or combination treatments. Pain level is 1-2 out of 10 — most patients describe it as a brief pinch. No anesthesia is needed for standard botox in Korea at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. For sensitive patients, ice or topical numbing can be applied 10 minutes before injection.
Post-Injection Care & Follow-Up
After botox injection, avoid lying down for 4 hours and do not massage the treated area for 24 hours to prevent toxin migration. Mild redness at injection points fades within 30-60 minutes. You can apply makeup and return to normal activities immediately. RE:BERRY Myeongdong provides a written aftercare guide in your language. A complimentary 2-week follow-up is available for touch-up adjustments if asymmetry is detected — this is included free for all botox in Korea patients at our clinic.

The Science Behind Botox in Korea
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting botulinum toxin treatments performed at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Mechanism of Botulinum Toxin Type A
Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) blocks neuromuscular transmission by cleaving SNAP-25 protein at the presynaptic nerve terminal, preventing acetylcholine release into the neuromuscular junction. This reversible chemical denervation causes temporary muscle paralysis lasting 3-6 months depending on dosage, injection site, and individual metabolism. In aesthetic applications, BoNT-A selectively weakens overactive muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles — forehead lines (frontalis), frown lines (corrugator supercilii and procerus), and crow’s feet (orbicularis oculi). The clinical effect of botox in Korea follows a consistent timeline: onset at 24-72 hours, peak at 1-2 weeks, and gradual recovery over 3-4 months as new nerve terminals sprout.
Pirazzini M et al. Botulinum Neurotoxins: Biology, Pharmacology, and Toxicology. Pharmacol Rev. 2017;69(2):200-235. doi:10.1124/pr.116.012658
Masseter Botox for Jawline Contouring
Masseter muscle reduction with botulinum toxin has become one of the most requested botox procedures in Korea and across East Asia. By injecting 25-50 units per side into the masseter belly, the muscle gradually atrophies over 4-8 weeks, producing a slimmer V-line jawline without surgery. Studies demonstrate a mean 31% reduction in masseter muscle thickness at 12 weeks post-injection, with effects lasting 4-6 months. Repeated treatments produce cumulative atrophy, allowing longer intervals between maintenance sessions. This non-surgical approach to jawline slimming represents a significant portion of botox in Korea treatments at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.

Micro-Botox (Skin Botox) for Skin Quality
Intradermal micro-injection of diluted botulinum toxin — known as skin botox or micro-botox — targets the arrector pili muscles and superficial sweat glands in the dermis rather than the deeper facial muscles. This technique, pioneered in Korean aesthetic clinics, reduces pore size by 25-30%, decreases sebum production, and creates a smoother skin texture without affecting facial expression. Clinical trials show significant improvement in skin oiliness, pore size, and overall skin quality scores at 4 weeks post-treatment, making micro-botox one of the most innovative applications of botox in Korea.

Comparative studies between different botulinum toxin brands (onabotulinumtoxinA/Allergan Botox, incobotulinumtoxinA/Xeomin, and Korean botulinum toxin products) demonstrate equivalent clinical efficacy for cosmetic indications when dosed at 1:1 unit ratios. The absence of complexing proteins in Xeomin may reduce the theoretical risk of antibody formation with repeated treatments, though clinically significant resistance remains rare at cosmetic doses.

What Patients Say About Botox in Korea at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
“I came to Seoul specifically for botox because the price difference is unreal. ₩19,000 for forehead botox versus $400 back home in LA. Dr. Baek’s technique was so precise — I still look like myself, just smoother. Will absolutely come back every trip.”
“I got masseter botox at RE:BERRY Myeongdong and was amazed at the V-line result after 4 weeks. The entire process took 15 minutes and I went straight to shopping in Myeongdong. Zero downtime, zero pain, incredible value at ₩29,000.”
“As a first-time botox patient, I was nervous. The staff explained everything in Vietnamese and Dr. Son showed me exactly where he would inject. The results are so natural — my friends noticed I look refreshed but can’t tell I had anything done.”
