Skin analysis station used to assess fine lines at Umi Clinic, Myeongdong — **1–3 sessions** Smoother texture over 4–8 weeks

Quick answer

What are fine lines and how are they treated?

Fine lines are shallow creases in the upper skin layers caused by dehydration, thinning collagen, sun exposure and repeated expressions. They are usually treated by restoring hydration and collagen with skin boosters and gentle lasers, and, where they come from movement, with small doses of Botox.

At our Myeongdong clinic in Seoul the doctor first checks whether a line is static or dynamic, then combines options such as Rejuran Healer, Laser Genesis or skin Botox for a natural, refreshed result.

FAQ

Fine lines questions

What is the difference between fine lines and wrinkles?

Fine lines are shallow and mostly in the surface layers; wrinkles are deeper creases that remain even when the face is relaxed. Fine lines usually respond well to hydration and collagen treatments.

Which treatment works best for fine lines?

It depends on the cause. Dehydration lines respond to skin boosters, sun-related lines to lasers like Laser Genesis, and expression lines to small doses of Botox. Many patients benefit from a combination.

Can I treat fine lines in one visit to Seoul?

Yes. Many options can be done in one visit with little downtime, although results continue to improve over the following weeks.

How can I prevent new fine lines?

Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen, good hydration, not smoking and a retinoid at home all help slow the formation of new lines.

Do foreigners pay more?

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