Botulinum toxin (보톡스).

Allergan's Botox (US) is available and the most expensive. The Korean domestic brands dominate by volume: Nabota (나보타), Meditoxin (메디톡신), Botulax (보툴렉스), and Coretox (코어톡스). They are the same active molecule with different manufacturing processes and (for some) different KFDA approval histories. Ask which brand is used and why.

Forehead, glabella (between the brows), crow's feet, bunny lines, lip flip, masseter (jawline narrowing), calves (leg contour), and trapezius (shoulder line). The non-facial applications are distinctly Korean — most Western clinics don't offer them routinely.

Brand, unit count, pricing per area, and the clinic's policy on top-ups if the effect is weaker than expected after 2 weeks. Many Korean clinics will top up at no charge within a defined window — confirm before you pay.

None. Small injection marks fade within hours. Full effect at 10–14 days; duration 3–4 months facial, 4–6 months masseter and larger muscle groups.

Forehead + glabella combo: ₩100,000–₩300,000. Crow's feet: ₩80,000–₩200,000. Masseter: ₩200,000–₩500,000. Calf botox: ₩400,000–₩800,000. Trapezius: ₩300,000–₩700,000. Allergan Botox adds roughly 50–100% over domestic brand pricing.

"How many units are you recommending and what's your dose range for this area?" A clinic that over-doses to produce a dramatic effect risks muscle atrophy or asymmetric loss. A clinic that under-doses to keep you coming back isn't serving you either. The right answer is specific and technical.
