Calm treatment room for wrinkle injections at Umi Clinic, Myeongdong — **From 1 visit** Botox in 1–2 weeks; collagen over months

Quick answer

What causes wrinkles and how are they treated?

Wrinkles form when repeated muscle movement folds the skin while collagen, elastin and hydration decline with age and sun exposure. Dynamic wrinkles appear with expression and respond to botulinum toxin; static wrinkles stay at rest and often need fillers, boosters or collagen-stimulating energy devices.

In Seoul, many patients combine a quick Botox session with a lifting or booster treatment. Our doctor in Myeongdong maps each line first — see our wrinkle treatment page for the procedures themselves.

FAQ

Wrinkles questions

Does wrinkle Botox look frozen?

Not when dosed carefully. We aim to soften lines while keeping natural expression, and use smaller doses for first-time patients.

Which brand of botulinum toxin do you use?

Options include Korean products and imported brands such as Allergan Botox and Xeomin. The doctor will explain the differences at consultation.

Can deep wrinkles be fully removed?

Deep, long-standing lines can be improved considerably but not always erased. A combination of Botox, filler and collagen treatments gives the best improvement.

Is it safe to fly after wrinkle treatment?

Yes, flying after Botox or most booster treatments is fine. Avoid pressing or massaging the treated areas on the day.

Do foreigners pay more?

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