Botox & Filler in Seoul

Botox and dermal fillers are among the most requested non-surgical procedures for patients visiting Gangnam, and Beauty Bar Plastic Surgery offers a broad menu of injectable options for the face and body. If you are researching an injectable treatment in Seoul, this page explains what these procedures involve, who they tend to suit, and what to expect before booking a consultation at the clinic.

What botox and filler treatments are

Botulinum toxin, commonly known by the brand name Botox, temporarily relaxes targeted muscles to soften expression lines or reduce muscle bulk, such as in the jaw or salivary glands. Dermal fillers, usually hyaluronic acid based, add volume or contour to areas like the lips, nose, forehead, or cheeks. Both categories are injectable, meaning they are administered with a fine needle rather than through surgical incision, and both produce temporary rather than permanent changes. Results vary from person to person depending on skin quality, muscle strength, product used, and the treated area.

Treatments available at Beauty Bar Plastic Surgery

The clinic's injectable menu includes the following options, each addressed individually on its own treatment page:

• Premium Filler – a premium-grade dermal filler used for general facial volumizing.
• Lip Filler – filler injected to shape or add volume to the lips.
• Double Eyelid Filler – filler placed in the upper eyelid area for a non-surgical crease effect.
• Full Face Filler – a comprehensive approach combining several facial zones in one session.
• Forehead Filler – volume correction for a flat or sunken forehead.
• Nose Filler / Hi-Nose – non-surgical bridge or tip contouring using injectable filler.
• Body Filler – filler used for volume correction on body areas outside the face.
• Filler Removal – a dissolving procedure for filler placed previously, at this clinic or elsewhere.
• Ultrasound Salivary Gland Botox – toxin injection guided by ultrasound to target the salivary glands, sometimes used for jaw or drooling concerns.
• Botulinum Toxin – standard Botox treatment for lines, jaw slimming, or muscle-related concerns.

Who injectable treatments suit

These procedures generally suit adults who want subtle, non-surgical adjustments to facial contour or lines without undergoing an operation or extended recovery. Patients considering an injectable treatment in Seoul often combine a short vacation with a same-day or next-day procedure, since most sessions require minimal preparation. People with realistic expectations about temporary, gradual results, rather than dramatic or permanent change, tend to be the best candidates.

Who should avoid it

Injectable treatments are not appropriate for everyone. Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, who have active skin infections or inflammation in the treatment area, who have known allergies to the injected material, or who have certain neuromuscular or bleeding disorders should discuss this openly during consultation, as these conditions can affect eligibility. Anyone currently on blood thinners, or who has had recent filler or toxin injections elsewhere, should also disclose this so the treating doctor can plan accordingly. A consultation with Dr. Kim Eun-yeon, Chief Director, or Dr. Namgung Wook, Director, is the appropriate way to confirm suitability for a specific procedure.

How a session goes

A typical visit starts with a consultation where the doctor reviews your facial or body anatomy, discusses goals, and recommends a suitable product and volume. For toxin injections, a numbing cream may or may not be used, depending on the area. Filler procedures often involve topical or local numbing before injection, particularly for sensitive zones like the lips. The injection itself is usually completed within a short window, though full-face or combination treatments naturally take longer than a single-area session. Ultrasound-guided salivary gland botox involves imaging to help the doctor localize the gland before injecting.

Downtime and recovery

Most injectable procedures allow patients to resume daily activities the same day, though mild swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites is common and can last from a few days up to around one to two weeks in some cases. Filler in areas like the lips or nose may show more visible swelling initially, which typically settles over several days. Botox effects are not immediate; visible muscle relaxation generally develops over one to two weeks, while filler results are often seen sooner. Patients are usually advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure, or lying flat for a period after injection, though specific instructions depend on the treatment area and product used.

Pricing

Exact pricing for each injectable treatment is determined during an in-person consultation, since cost depends on the product selected, the volume required, and the specific area treated. The clinic has not published fixed prices for these procedures, so patients should request a personalized quote when booking. Any quoted amount may be subject to VAT and can vary depending on consultation findings, so confirming the final cost before treatment is recommended.

Safety

All injectable procedures carry some degree of risk, including bruising, swelling, asymmetry, infection, or, less commonly, vascular complications. No clinic can guarantee a specific outcome, and individual results differ based on anatomy and healing response. Beauty Bar Plastic Surgery is located at 19F, SYH Tower, 107 Dosandaero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and patients can reach the clinic at 02-535-5335 for questions before their visit. The clinic is open weekdays from 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM and Saturdays from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM, and closed on Sundays and public holidays. Choosing an injectable treatment in Seoul should involve a full discussion of risks, alternatives, and aftercare with the treating doctor before proceeding.

Frequently asked questions

How long do Botox results usually last?

Botox effects are temporary and commonly last a few months, though duration varies by individual, muscle strength, and treated area, and repeat sessions are typically needed to maintain the effect.

How long do dermal filler results last?

Filler longevity depends on the product, injection site, and the patient's metabolism, and results are not permanent; many patients notice gradual volume loss over time, requiring touch-ups.

Can I combine multiple filler treatments in one visit?

Combining treatments, such as full face filler with forehead or nose filler, is possible in some cases, but this depends on the doctor's assessment during consultation regarding safety and suitable dosage.

What should I do if I have filler from a previous clinic?

You should inform the doctor about any prior filler treatment, including where and when it was done, so they can evaluate whether filler removal or dissolving is appropriate before adding new product.

Do I need a consultation before booking a treatment?

Yes, a consultation is recommended so the doctor can review your medical history, assess the treatment area, and confirm which injectable option and dosage suit your individual case.
