Petit Treatments

Botox

Botox is a popular non-surgical treatment for forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet, often chosen for smoother expression lines and a more refined look.

Overview

Botox works by relaxing overactive facial muscles that create expression lines such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. It is one of the most commonly requested treatments in Korean dermatology and aesthetic clinics because the procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and easy to fit into a busy schedule. In addition to wrinkle reduction, Botox is also often used for jawline slimming and overall facial refinement. For natural-looking results, treatment planning should consider muscle strength, facial balance, and the patient’s desired look.
