At Gangnam Choice Clinic near Seolleung Station, our wrinkle treatments use 

botulinum toxin injections to naturally soften expression lines.


Expression lines develop as facial muscles repeatedly contract when we smile, frown, or make other facial expressions. 


Botulinum toxin temporarily reduces the activity of the muscles that contribute to these wrinkles, 

helping soften lines in commonly treated areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes.


Before treatment, we carefully assess your facial muscle movement, skin thickness, and wrinkle pattern 

to create a personalized treatment plan.


Our goal is to soften wrinkles and create a more relaxed, refreshed appearance 

while preserving natural facial expressions.

Downtime is minimal, and most patients can return to their usual daily activities shortly after treatment. 

This makes botulinum toxin treatment a convenient option even for those with busy schedules. 


Through careful assessment and refined injection techniques, Gangnam Choice Clinic focuses on 

subtle, balanced, and natural-looking wrinkle improvement.


Main treatment areas

Forehead, glabella, crow’s feet, under-eye area, jawline 

Gummy smile, nasal bridge and tip, masseter muscles, submandibular glands, parotid glands

Treatment recommendations may vary depending on your facial anatomy, muscle activity, skin condition, and individual goals.

A personalized treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation with our medical team.








Can Botox Be Combined With Lifting Treatments?


Yes. Botox and other botulinum toxin treatments can often be combined with lifting or rejuvenation procedures when different aspects of facial aging need to be addressed.

Different treatments target different concerns:


  • Botox: helps soften dynamic expression lines
  • Energy-based lifting: targets skin laxity and firmness
  • Thread lifting: provides mechanical support for selected areas of sagging
  • Fillers or biostimulators: may help address volume loss or structural support

Can Botox and Lifting Be Done on the Same Day?


In some cases, combination treatment may be possible, but not every procedure needs to be performed at the same time.

The appropriate sequence and interval between Botox, laser lifting, thread lifting, and other anti-aging treatments depend on the treatment area, facial anatomy, skin condition, and individual goals.


Which Combination Treatment Is Right for Me?


A personalized treatment plan can be created after evaluating which concerns are caused by muscle activity, skin laxity, volume loss, or other age-related changes.

Can Frequent Botox Treatments Cause Resistance?


In rare cases, neutralizing antibodies against botulinum toxin may develop and contribute to a reduced clinical response.

However, true Botox resistance in cosmetic treatment is considered uncommon.


What May Increase the Risk of Botox Resistance?


Factors that may potentially contribute to antibody formation include unnecessarily frequent injections, high cumulative doses, and repeated exposure to botulinum toxin.


How Can the Risk of Botox Resistance Be Reduced?


It is generally advisable to avoid unnecessarily short treatment intervals and to use an appropriate dose for each treatment area.

Certain purified botulinum toxin formulations with fewer accessory proteins, such as Coretox or Xeomin, may also be considered depending on previous treatment history and individual circumstances.

If Botox appears to become less effective, other possible causes should also be evaluated before assuming true botulinum toxin resistance.

Will Botox Make My Face Look Unnatural?


Not necessarily. A natural-looking Botox result depends on the treatment area, dose, injection technique, and individual facial muscle activity.

Excessive weakening of certain facial muscles may sometimes create a heavy or unnatural appearance.


How Can Botox Look More Natural?


At Gangnam Choice Clinic, we evaluate facial anatomy, muscle movement, wrinkle patterns, and individual facial expressions before planning botulinum toxin treatment.

Our goal is to soften expression lines while preserving natural facial movement and balance, rather than completely eliminating facial expression.


Is Botox Treatment Customized?


Yes. The amount and placement of Botox injections can be adjusted according to individual muscle strength, facial anatomy, and treatment goals.

Can I Resume Daily Activities After Botox?


Yes. Most patients can return to normal daily activities immediately after Botox or botulinum toxin treatment because the procedure generally requires minimal downtime.

Temporary reactions after Botox may include:


  • Mild redness
  • Temporary swelling
  • Small areas of bruising
  • Mild tenderness at the injection site

These reactions usually improve naturally within a few days.


What Should I Avoid After Botox?


As part of Botox aftercare, you may be advised to temporarily avoid excessive alcohol consumption, strenuous exercise, strong massage, saunas, and excessive heat exposure.

Specific precautions may vary depending on the treatment area, so please follow the aftercare instructions provided by your medical team.

Does Botox Hurt and Is Anesthesia Needed?


Most patients experience only mild and brief discomfort during a Botox or botulinum toxin injection.

The treatment is performed with a fine needle, and the injections themselves usually take only a few minutes.


Is Numbing Cream Used Before Botox?


Depending on the treatment area and individual sensitivity, ice or topical anesthetic cream may be used before Botox treatment to help reduce discomfort.

Most patients are able to undergo the procedure comfortably without significant pain.


How Long Does a Botox Procedure Take?


For common facial wrinkle treatments, the injection procedure usually takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes, although consultation and preparation may require additional time.

Where Can Botox Be Used on the Face and Body?


Botox and other botulinum toxin treatments can be used in various facial and body areas depending on the target muscle and treatment goal.

Common Botox treatment areas include:


  • Forehead and glabella: to soften expression lines
  • Around the eyes: to improve crow’s feet
  • Masseter muscles: for jawline contouring and a slimmer-looking lower face
  • Trapezius muscles: to reduce excessive muscle prominence
  • Calf muscles: for muscle contouring in selected patients
  • Gummy smile and lower face: for selected muscle-related concerns

Is the Botox Dose Different for Each Area?


Yes. The appropriate Botox dose varies according to muscle size, muscle strength, anatomy, and treatment goals.

For this reason, facial and body botulinum toxin treatment should be planned after an individualized anatomical assessment.

How Long Do Botox Results Usually Last?


The effects of Botox and other botulinum toxin treatments typically last about 3 to 4 months, although the duration can vary depending on the individual and treatment area.

Factors such as muscle strength, injected dose, facial movement, metabolism, and previous Botox treatment history may affect how long the results last.


When Should Botox Be Repeated?


A repeat botulinum toxin treatment is usually considered when muscle activity and expression lines gradually begin to return.

The appropriate Botox interval may vary between patients, so your doctor can recommend a treatment schedule based on your individual response.

Botox vs Coretox vs Xeomin: What Is the Difference?


Botox, Coretox , and Xeomin are all botulinum toxin products commonly used for wrinkle treatment and facial contouring. Although they work by temporarily reducing targeted muscle activity, they differ in formulation, manufacturing process, and the presence of accessory proteins.


Key Differences Between Botox, Coretox, and Xeomin


When comparing Botox vs Coretox vs Xeomin, there is no single product that is best for everyone. The most appropriate botulinum toxin depends on the treatment area, muscle activity, previous treatment history, and individual treatment goals.


Botox is one of the most widely used botulinum toxin products worldwide. It has an extensive clinical history and is commonly used to improve forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, and other expression wrinkles.



Coretox is a Korean botulinum toxin formulation developed with a purified neurotoxin preparation and without unnecessary complexing proteins. It may be considered when selecting a purified botulinum toxin product for repeated wrinkle treatment.



Xeomin is a German-made botulinum toxin formulation containing incobotulinumtoxinA. It is manufactured without complexing proteins and is widely used for facial wrinkle treatment and other botulinum toxin indications.


Which Botulinum Toxin Is Right for Me?


The choice between Botox, Coretox, and Xeomin should be based on more than the product name alone. Facial anatomy, muscle strength, wrinkle depth, treatment area, previous botulinum toxin treatments, and individual goals should all be considered.

At Gangnam Choice Clinic, our medical team evaluates each patient’s facial anatomy and muscle movement before recommending a personalized Botox or botulinum toxin treatment.
