Q.Is Gangnam a good place for first-time Botox?
Yes, if the clinic emphasizes diagnosis, natural movement, and clear explanation instead of speed alone.
Q.Which product does a botulinum toxin quote cover?
Botox® is the Allergan Aesthetics brand; Xeomin® is a separate Merz product. Confirm the exact product, treatment area, dose and price basis in your quote before treatment.
