At Reberry Clinic in Seoul, botox injections use precise, individually planned doses of botulinum toxin type A to relax the specific muscles that create dynamic wrinkles. By calming overactive forehead, glabellar (frown) and crow’s-feet muscles at the source, the treatment softens expression lines while preserving natural movement. Each plan is mapped to your facial anatomy by the clinic’s doctors, with English-speaking support for international patients across three Seoul-area locations (Gangnam, Myeongdong, Incheon Airport). There are no incisions and essentially no downtime, so a session fits easily into a short trip to Seoul.
Botox injection delivers small, targeted doses of botulinum toxin type A into specific facial muscles, temporarily relaxing them to smooth dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet. Results appear within 2 to 5 days, peak by 2 weeks and typically last 3 to 6 months, with no surgery and essentially no downtime.
In every Botox injection procedure we provide, dosage is precisely calculated for balanced, natural-looking anti-aging results.
We have expert multilingual staff to provide you clear consultation, smooth communication, and a comfortable Botox treatment experience.
Over 1000+ successful Botox treatments are delivered with consistent results, trusted by both local and international patients.
Botox injection is a non-surgical treatment that uses botulinum toxin type A, a purified neuromodulator, to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles. When a muscle repeatedly contracts during expressions like frowning or squinting, it folds the overlying skin into dynamic wrinkles; by easing that contraction, the toxin lets the skin smooth out. It is most commonly used for horizontal forehead lines, the vertical “11” frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet at the outer eyes.
The active ingredient is botulinum toxin type A, which is FDA-approved as a prescription medicine for several aesthetic and medical indications. It works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, the chemical signal a nerve uses to tell a muscle to contract, so the treated muscle relaxes for a defined period before normal activity gradually returns. Because the effect is temporary and dose-dependent, the result can be tailored from a subtle softening to a fuller relaxation depending on your goals.
At Reberry Clinic the treatment is performed by the clinic’s doctors using ultra-fine needles and a personalized injection map. Beyond expression lines, botulinum toxin type A is also used to slim a prominent jawline by reducing an enlarged masseter (chewing) muscle and to reduce excessive underarm sweating, which the clinic’s doctor can discuss during your consultation.
Botox injection suits a wide range of adults who want to soften expression lines without surgery or significant recovery. Because the dose and injection points are individualized, a consultation with the clinic’s doctor confirms whether it fits your anatomy, muscle strength and aesthetic goals before any treatment. It is generally a good option for individuals who:
Starting Botox in your 20s or 30s reduces repetitive muscle movement that forms lines over time, clinically shown to delay the onset of static wrinkles.
Skin Botox (mesobotox), delivered in micro-doses into the dermis, visibly reduces pore size, controls surface sebum, and improves overall skin clarity.
Clinically calibrated dosing ensures symmetrical results, softening signs of aging while preserving the full range of natural expressions. No "frozen" appearance.
The entire procedure takes 10–20 minutes with minimal to no discomfort, letting you resume your daily activities, and social engagements immediately after.
The effects of Botox last 3–6 months, and with regular treatments, muscle activity gradually reduces, meaning results may become longer-lasting and require less frequent sessions over time.

In Botox injection procedure, purified botulinum toxin type A is delivered precisely into selected facial muscles or superficial skin layers. Traditional Botox targets deeper muscles for wrinkle relaxation, while skin Botox (mesobotox) that uses micro-doses, interacts in the dermis for pore refinement, smoother texture, and controlled aesthetic improvement.
Once injected, Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks the release of acetylcholine, a vital neurotransmitter and chemical messenger that facilitates communication between neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems, at the neuromuscular junction. This reduces repetitive facial movements that cause dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines and crow’s feet. It also influences sweat and oil glands, helping improve skin clarity, reduce excess sebum, and calm surface redness.
The blockage of neuromuscular signals gradually lessens the aging signs within 3-7 days, whereas optimal outcomes in 1–2 weeks. You will see the rejuvenation effects, such as:
Botulinum Toxin Type-A
10–20 minutes
Often used topical anesthetic creams, ice packs, or vibration anesthesia
None to minimal
Very low (minimal discomfort)
At Reberry Clinic we have helped international and local clients soften dynamic wrinkles and refine facial contour with carefully dosed botulinum toxin type A. Our before-and-after photos reflect individualized injection plans tailored to each person’s muscle pattern, line depth and goals. Results vary from person to person depending on muscle strength, age and the area treated, and are not guaranteed; a consultation is the best way to understand what botox injection can realistically achieve for you while keeping your expressions natural.
Established in August 2023, Reberry Clinic earned certification as a medical institution for foreign-patient care by November 2023, and since then has focused on reliable, non-surgical aesthetic care backed by clinical precision. Botox injection is performed by the clinic’s doctors, who map each dose to your individual facial anatomy rather than using a one-size-fits-all template, prioritizing natural-looking movement over a frozen result.
International patients benefit from multilingual support (English, Korean, Thai, Japanese, Chinese) and three Seoul-area locations, including one at Incheon Airport, which makes a quick, downtime-free treatment easy to fit around travel. Pricing is consultation-led and depends on the areas treated and the dose your plan requires, so the clinic’s doctor reviews your goals and medical history before recommending a treatment plan.
Our clinics are conveniently located in the three prime locations of Seoul: Gangnam, Myeongdong and near the Incheon International Airport. With close proximity to major transport hubs, shopping districts, and hotels, you can easily integrate your Botox treatment into your travel or daily schedule without logistical stress.
Experienced, highly qualified dermatology experts lead who have dedicated experience in anti-aging injection treatments.
We only use FDA, KFDA-verified brands of botulinum toxin, prioritizing your safety with effectiveness of treatment over anything.
We focus on understanding your goals, facial structure, and comfort, ensuring every Botox session is tailored specifically to you.
No hidden costs. No surprises. We maintain complete transparency in pricing, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
We analyze your skin condition, facial muscle activity, and medical history to ensure your Botox treatment is safe, suitable, and goal-aligned from the start.
Based on your facial anatomy, we map precise injection points and dosage, ensuring balanced muscle modulation while fully preserving your natural expressions.
Our doctors deliver Botox at exact depths using advanced anatomical techniques, minimizing diffusion risks and ensuring smooth, symmetrical results without overcorrection.
Results evolve naturally, gradual wrinkle softening, refined skin texture, and improved contours, remaining stable, predictable, and aesthetically consistent throughout the treatment duration.
We provide clear post-treatment guidance and recommend personalized maintenance intervals based on your muscle response, helping you sustain long-term anti-aging results comfortably.
Botox injection, dermal fillers and thread lifting are non-surgical options that address different aging signs — botox relaxes muscles, fillers add volume, and threads reposition tissue — so here is how they compare.
| Botox Injection | Dermal Fillers | Thread Lift | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Botulinum toxin type A relaxes overactive muscles | Hyaluronic-acid gel adds volume and supports tissue | Absorbable PDO/PLLA threads reposition mild sagging |
| Best for | Dynamic expression lines: frown, forehead, crow's feet | Static lines, volume loss, contour shaping | Mild laxity along the cheeks, jawline and brow |
| Onset | Visible in 2 to 5 days, full effect by 2 weeks | Immediate, settles over 1 to 2 weeks | Immediate lift, refines as swelling settles |
| Downtime | Essentially none; minor redness or bruising | Minimal; possible swelling or bruising for days | Low; mild soreness or swelling for several days |
| Results timeline | Smoothing builds over the first 2 weeks | Volume seen at once, integrates over 2 weeks | Lift seen at once, collagen builds over months |
| Longevity | About 3 to 6 months | About 6 to 18 months by product and area | About 1 to 2 years as threads dissolve |
| Sessions | Repeated every 3 to 6 months to maintain | Top-up as the product gradually absorbs | Usually 1 session, repeated periodically |
Botulinum toxin type A is one of the most extensively studied aesthetic injectables, supported by more than two decades of peer-reviewed clinical trials. In the foundational multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of glabellar (frown) lines, patients received 20 units into 5 glabellar sites and were followed for 120 days, with the toxin group showing significantly greater reduction in line severity than placebo. A meta-analysis of 7 randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trials pooling 1,474 subjects found the effective rate of botulinum toxin type A markedly higher than control (relative risk 33.54; 95% CI 18.65 to 60.33), and a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials confirmed consistent efficacy across formulations and doses. Evidence in Korean and Asian patients is robust: a 4-year Korean postmarketing surveillance study in 695 subjects (mean age 40.9 years, 87.3% female) reported botulinum toxin type A was well tolerated and effective for crow’s feet with or without frown lines, while a Phase IV randomized placebo-controlled trial in Korean patients with crow’s feet found 69.6% reached minimal severity at week 4 versus 0% with placebo. For lower-face contouring, an ultrasound-guided masseter study in 20 young Korean volunteers (mean age 25.6) reduced masseter thickness by 17.98% one month after injection.
Botox is an injectable form of botulinum toxin type A that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles. It blocks the nerve signal (acetylcholine) that tells a muscle to contract, so the muscle eases and the skin above it stops folding into dynamic wrinkles. This smooths frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet for a defined period before movement gradually returns.
Botulinum toxin type A is FDA-approved and has a long, well-established safety record when administered by trained doctors in appropriate doses. Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as minor bruising or redness. Serious reactions are rare and mostly linked to improper technique, which is why a qualified clinician and a personalized botox injection plan matter.
Botox results typically last 3 to 6 months. Muscle activity gradually returns as the body metabolizes the botulinum toxin type A, so repeat treatments maintain the effect. With consistent sessions over time, some people find that treated muscles weaken slightly, which can modestly extend the interval between appointments for certain areas.
Initial smoothing usually appears within 2 to 5 days of injection, with the full effect visible around 1 to 2 weeks as the botulinum toxin type A takes complete hold on the treated muscle. Because the result builds gradually, the clinic’s doctor often reviews your outcome about 2 weeks later and can fine-tune with a small touch-up if needed.
There is essentially no downtime after botox injection. Most people return to normal activities immediately, though mild redness, swelling or small bruises at the injection sites can appear and usually fade within hours to a few days. You are typically advised to stay upright for about 4 hours and avoid heavy exercise and the treated area that day.
Discomfort is minimal because the injections use ultra-fine needles and each takes only seconds. Most patients describe a brief pinch or sting at each of the small number of injection points. A topical numbing cream or cold pack can be applied beforehand for sensitive areas, and the whole session is usually finished within a few minutes.
A botox session typically takes about 5 to 15 minutes, depending on how many areas and injection points are treated. It is a quick, minimally invasive appointment with no downtime, which makes it convenient to schedule. Your first visit includes a short consultation so the clinic’s doctor can map the right dose and points for your muscles.
Botox most commonly treats the upper face: horizontal forehead lines, the vertical “11” frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet at the outer eyes. Botulinum toxin type A is also used to slim a square jaw by relaxing the masseter muscle and to reduce underarm sweating. The clinic’s doctor confirms which areas suit your anatomy during consultation.
Yes. Botox is often combined with treatments that add volume or improve skin quality, such as injectable fillers or Rejuran Healer. Because botox relaxes muscles while fillers restore volume, the two address different signs of aging. The clinic’s doctor sequences treatments so timing is safe and each works to its full potential.
Not when it is dosed conservatively and placed precisely. The goal at Reberry Clinic is natural-looking softening, where lines ease but you keep meaningful expression. The result is dose-dependent, so the clinic’s doctor can plan a subtle relaxation rather than a fully immobilized look, then refine at your 2-week review if you prefer more or less movement.
Common side effects are mild and short-lived: redness, slight swelling, small bruises or a temporary headache that usually resolve within days. Rarely, the toxin can spread to nearby muscles and cause a temporary drooping eyelid or brow asymmetry, which fades as the effect wears off. Precise technique and correct dosing keep these risks low.
Botox is generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding, in people with certain neuromuscular disorders, and over active skin infection at the injection site. A known allergy to botulinum toxin type A is also a contraindication. Your botox consultation includes a medical-history review so the clinic’s doctor can confirm the treatment is appropriate for you.
Both use botulinum toxin type A, but the target and dose differ. Anti-wrinkle botox places small doses into thin expression muscles to soften lines, while jaw-slimming injects larger doses into the bulky masseter muscle to gradually reduce its size and create a slimmer lower face over 4 to 8 weeks. The clinic’s doctor tailors each plan to your goal.
Botox relaxes muscles to soften dynamic, movement-related lines, whereas dermal fillers add volume to smooth static lines and restore lost contour. They solve different problems, so they are frequently used together rather than as substitutes. The clinic’s doctor assesses whether muscle activity, volume loss, or both are driving your concern, then plans accordingly.
Botox softens wrinkles by relaxing muscles, while a thread lift places absorbable threads to mechanically reposition mildly sagging tissue. Botox does not lift loose skin, and threads do not relax expression lines, so they address different aging signs. Many patients combine them in a single plan; the clinic’s doctor advises which suits your priorities and degree of laxity.
Aftercare is simple. Stay upright for about 4 hours, avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas, and skip intense exercise, saunas and alcohol for the rest of the day. Do not lie face-down for several hours. These steps help keep the botulinum toxin type A in the intended muscles. The clinic’s doctor provides personalized aftercare advice at your visit.
Botox needs no downtime, so it fits a short visit easily. We suggest booking a consultation and treatment with a day’s flexibility for any minor bruising, and avoiding flights immediately if you are prone to swelling. Reberry Clinic offers English-speaking support and three Seoul-area locations, including one at Incheon Airport, convenient for arrival or departure.
