FAQ

What is the difference between Korean and American botox?

They differ in manufacturer, origin and approval history. Coretox is made by Medytox (Korea), Xeomin by Merz (Germany) and Botox by Allergan (USA). Your dermatologist recommends one based on the treatment area and your previous treatments.

How much does botox cost?

Pricing depends on the area, dose and brand, so we quote it during consultation. Send us a photo and the areas you want treated, and we will tell you the right product and cost before your visit.

Can I get botox while traveling in Korea?

The treatment is quick, so you can have it on the day of your consultation. We explain same-day aftercare at your visit.

How do I know it is genuine?

We use genuine products only and open them in front of you before treatment.
