What botox is
Botulinum toxin type A is a prescription injectable that is designed to relax the specific muscle it is placed in, so that a line formed by repeated movement, such as a frown line or crow's feet, is softened while that muscle rests. In Korea the same product is also injected into the masseter (chewing) muscle with the aim of reducing its bulk over several weeks, and in a diluted shallow form marketed as skin botox for pores and surface texture. The doctor marks injection points and uses a fine needle; the whole visit including consultation usually takes 20 to 40 minutes, and the injection itself a few minutes.
- Lines that show when you frown, raise your brows or squint, and fade when your face is at rest.
- A jaw that looks wide because the chewing muscle has enlarged from clenching or grinding, rather than because of bone shape.
- A first-time injectable patient who prefers a change that wears off within months to one that cannot be undone.
- A short-stay traveller who can accept that the result is judged at about two weeks and may be reviewed by photo rather than in person.
- Ask a doctor first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a neuromuscular condition such as myasthenia gravis, take aminoglycoside antibiotics, or have reacted to any botulinum toxin product before.

What decides the result more than the clinic name
- Product name on the quote. Korean clinics stock several domestic botulinum toxin brands and imported ones, and onset, duration and price differ by product. The word botox on a quote does not tell you which vial will be used.
- Units, not areas. Dose is measured in units. Two clinics can print the same per-area price and inject very different amounts, and the difference is invisible on the day.
- Who holds the syringe. Injection depth and point selection decide whether a brow sits evenly or a smile pulls to one side. The person who marks the points should be the person who injects.
- Dilution and vial age. Toxin arrives as a powder and is reconstituted with saline. Over-dilution, or a vial prepared long before your visit, lowers the dose you actually receive.
- What the printed price leaves out. Korean price lists are commonly shown before 10% VAT, and event figures often carry conditions such as a first-visit rule, a posted review, or a minimum number of areas.
- Touch-up and review policy. Results settle at about two weeks and small asymmetries are commonly adjusted then. A traveller may already have left Korea by that date.

Questions people ask
How much does botox cost in Gangnam?
As printed on their own websites, 8 Gangnam clinics show a per area botox price between ₩15,000 and ₩350,000, read 12 Nov 2026. Most printed prices exclude 10% VAT, and event prices carry conditions such as a first visit. A quote far below ₩15,000 usually means a smaller spec, a different product or an event.
Which botox clinic in Gangnam should you choose?
No public source audits results per clinic in Korea, so no page can honestly name one. 21 Gangnam clinics print a botox price and are listed by name on this site; start with the checks on the how-to-choose page, then confirm by message the spec, the product or device, the VAT condition and whether English covers the consultation itself.
Is Korean Botox the same as the Botox brand?
No. Botox is Allergan's brand name for its botulinum toxin product; Korean clinics also use domestic botulinum toxin products approved by the MFDS, which are usually printed at a lower figure. Ask for the product name before you pay and check it against the regulator list in Sources.
How many units do I need for my forehead or jaw?
The doctor decides this at consultation from your muscle strength and the look you are after; a forehead typically needs fewer units than a jaw. Our table lists rows for 50 units and 100 units so that figures are comparable, but ask the clinic how many units its own printed price includes and what each extra unit costs.
