Results Over Time
Botox (botulinum toxin A) relaxes the targeted muscle to soften dynamic expression lines — results building over about two weeks.
01Days 3–7
Muscle relaxation begins; dynamic lines start to soften.
022 weeks
Peak smoothing. A touch-up, if any, is assessed at this point.
033–4 months
Facial effect gradually wanes as nerve terminals regenerate.
044–6 months (body)
Body areas (masseter, calf) last longer; maintenance is planned accordingly.

Botox® & Xeomin®
MFDS-licensed botulinum toxin type A, procured through authorized Korean distribution with traceable lot numbers — never substituted with low-cost alternatives without disclosure.
Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA)
Allergan Aesthetics' original brand, supported by the largest global safety registry — ideal when the most extensive long-term safety data matters.
Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA)
Merz's complexing-protein-free formulation — recommended for patients concerned about antibody response from repeat dosing.
Traceable Sourcing
Authorized Korean distribution with traceable lot numbers. Effects last ~3–4 months (face) or 4–6 months (body).
Treatment Process
01Skin Examination

Expected onset and touch-up timing are explained clearly.
04Procedure & Aftercare
Aftercare is reviewed before you leave the clinic.
Recovery & Care
First 4 hours
Stay upright; do not lie down, and avoid touching or massaging the treated area.
First 24 hours
No strenuous exercise, sauna, hot baths, alcohol, or facial massage.
Days 1–7
Effect develops; onset at 3–7 days, peak at 2 weeks. Touch-up reviewed at 2 weeks.
Months 3–4
Book maintenance as movement returns; body zones (masseter/calf) last 4–6 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Will Botox make my face look frozen?
That depends far more on injection planning and dose than on the label alone. Conservative, anatomy-based work is the safer mindset.
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 brand of botulinum toxin do you use?
Delight Dermatology uses Allergan Aesthetics (AbbVie) Botox® — the original onabotulinumtoxinA brand, MFDS-licensed and procured through authorized Korean channels with traceable lot numbers. We do not substitute with low-cost alternatives without disclosure.
