Skin botulinum toxin

Clair describes small, superficial botulinum-toxin injections under its skin-treatment menu. This is a distinct placement strategy from treating deeper muscle activity.

How the approach works.

The proposed product, dose, depth and areas require a clinician’s assessment. Superficial placement does not remove the possibility of toxin-related side effects or unwanted effects on nearby muscles.

What the consultation considers.

  • Superficial placement

  • Fine-line concerns

  • Nearby muscle function

This is a starting point for a consultation, not an individual treatment recommendation.

Superficial placement and nearby muscle

Clair describes a superficial strategy for skin botox. These two views compare tissue layers, not two treatment steps; product, dose, depth and area still need individual assessment.

Skin-focused placement

This view emphasizes the skin above deeper tissues. It helps explain what “superficial” refers to without specifying a safe depth or an injection map.

Muscle function still matters

The matching view highlights muscle. Superficial placement can still have unwanted effects on nearby movement or expression, so the plan needs to address both the intended goal and those risks.

Recovery, risks & limits.

Some reactions can be temporary; complications can also require treatment. This is not an exhaustive list.

Temporary redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness may follow injections.

Unwanted weakness or drooping can occur if nearby muscles are affected.

Tell the clinician about previous reactions, medication and medical conditions before treatment.

Your timeline is individual.

Procedure time, anaesthesia, follow-up and return travel depend on your examination and the final plan. Confirm them before paying for flights or accommodation.

Recovery and results vary. Your clinician should explain the procedure-specific risks and aftercare before you decide.

If you develop severe or worsening symptoms after treatment, seek medical attention rather than waiting for an online reply.

Dr. JinHo Han

Representative surgeon · Plastic surgery specialist

A personal consultation with a plastic surgery specialist. Discuss your facial features, skin condition and treatment preferences before deciding on a plan.

Your questions, answered.

Does “skin” mean there is no effect on expression?

No. Injection placement and dose matter. Discuss the intended result and the possibility of unwanted changes in movement or expression.

How long should I stay in Korea?

Procedure time, anaesthesia, follow-up and return travel depend on your examination and the final plan. Confirm them before paying for flights or accommodation.

Can I choose the procedure before an examination?

You can explore your options first. The final plan requires an examination, a discussion of alternatives and informed consent. Choosing no treatment is also an option.

How is the cost decided?

The clinic confirms the proposed method, treatment area and product or equipment before giving an individual quote. Ask what is included in follow-up care.

What should I disclose before treatment?

Tell the clinician about previous procedures, implants, medication, allergies and health conditions. Bring available details of earlier injections or surgery.
