How is Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) performed?

Injectable treatments place a substance into the skin or the tissue beneath it. What is injected decides what the treatment does, so the product name matters more than the treatment name.

• Hyaluronic acid (HA) — holds volume and can be dissolved with an enzyme if needed.
• Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) and collagen-stimulating materials — last longer and are not reversible in the same way.
• Botulinum toxin — temporarily reduces muscle movement.

How do you prepare for Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA)?

Tell the clinic about blood thinners, bleeding disorders and previous injectable treatments — including anything placed years ago, since older material can still be present.

• List the medication and supplements you take.
• Say what was injected before, when, and where.
• Mention any infection or inflammation near the treatment site.

What does recovery after Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) involve?

Most injectable treatments are described as same-day return to normal activity. Bruising and swelling are the usual short-term effects and vary by person and by site.

• Right after — small raised marks, redness or bruising at injection points.
• Days to two weeks — swelling settles and the result becomes visible.
• Months — the effect fades as the material is absorbed, and repeat treatment may be discussed.

What are the risks of Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA)?

Known risks include bruising, swelling, lumps and infection and, rarely, vascular occlusion, where material blocks a blood vessel. Which risks apply depends on the product and where it is placed.

Ask at consultation whether the product is authorised in Korea, and what would be done if a problem occurred — for hyaluronic acid fillers that includes whether a dissolving enzyme is kept on site.

What determines the cost of Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) in Seoul?

Price follows the product and how much of it is used, not the treatment name alone.

• Product — which brand, and whether it is authorised in Korea.
• Volume — how many syringes or units.
• Sites — how many areas are treated.
• Course — whether the quoted figure is per session or per course.

Cosmetic treatments are not covered by Korea's national health insurance, so each clinic sets and publishes its own price.

Who performs Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA), and how do you verify them?

Ask who injects and what exactly is being injected. Both are answerable at consultation.

• Credentials — which speciality the doctor is board-certified in.
• Product name — the brand, and whether it is authorised in Korea.
• If something goes wrong — what is available on site to manage it.
