Injection treatment room for body Botox at Umi Clinic, Myeongdong — **1 session** Slimming shows in 4–8 weeks

Quick answer

What is body Botox?

Body Botox means using botulinum toxin on larger muscles or sweat glands of the body. Relaxing the trapezius softens the neck-to-shoulder slope, relaxing the calf muscles gives a slimmer lower leg, and injecting the underarm skin reduces sweating.

Because body muscles are bigger than facial muscles, higher doses are used and the effect builds over several weeks. In Seoul, the most requested areas are the shoulders — see trapezius Botox — and the calves.

Before & after

How body Botox slims the line

Botulinum toxin temporarily reduces nerve signals to the muscle, so it relaxes and gradually becomes less bulky.

Illustration of the mechanism — not a patient photo. Individual results vary; real before-and-after photos can be reviewed at consultation.

Days 3–7

Muscle starts to feel softer; sweating reduces.

Weeks 4–8

Visible slimming as muscle volume decreases.

Months 4–6

Effect gradually fades; repeat to maintain.

FAQ

Body Botox questions

Will body Botox make me weak?

Doses are chosen to reduce bulk without affecting normal daily movement. You may notice slightly less power in heavy exercise of that muscle for a few weeks.

How many units are needed?

Body areas need more units than the face. The doctor sets the dose after examining muscle size and strength.

Which brand do you use?

The doctor can explain available options, such as Botox, Xeomin or Korean toxins, and their differences.

Can I exercise after treatment?

Light activity is fine. Avoid intense training of the treated muscle for about 24 hours.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
