| Treatment | Typical range | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Botulinum Toxin (Botox) | $30–$140 | per area |
| Hyaluronic Acid Filler | $140–$625 | per 1cc |
A simple decision guide used in Korea: treat the cause (movement vs structure) and avoid overfilling or overfreezing.
Forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, and some jaw clenching. Goal: soften expression lines while keeping natural movement.
Under-eye hollowing, midface support, nasolabial support, and contour refinement. Goal: restore structure, not “inflate.”
Small Botox for dynamic lines + conservative filler for support can look more natural than either alone.

Tell us what bothers you (lines vs hollowing) and share your event timeline. We’ll suggest a conservative plan used by high-quality Korea clinics.
Conservative, PIH-aware guidance: mechanism first, then realistic pacing, then a safety checklist you can actually use at a clinic.
| Phase | What to do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Before | Stabilize barrier, avoid over-exfoliation, strict UV/visible-light protection | Lower inflammation → lower rebound/PIH |
| Procedure day | Conservative settings, avoid stacking multiple high-heat treatments | Inflammation control is outcome control |
| After (0–7d) | Gentle cleanse + moisturizer, no harsh actives, sun avoidance | Protect the healing window |
| Follow-up | Reassess at 4–8 weeks; adjust intensity and interval | Pacing prevents relapse |
Use these scenarios to pressure-test a plan. If a clinic can’t explain the “why,” slow down.
Play: Start barrier-first, patch-test actives, prioritize low-heat options.
Watch: If stinging/burning persists >48h after a treatment, stop actives and reassess.
Play: Lower energy, longer intervals, strict photoprotection + pigment-safe topicals.
Watch: Avoid stacking peel + laser in the same visit.
Play: Do fewer, safer sessions; avoid ‘big downtime’ close to flights.
Watch: Plan conservative timing for swelling/redness windows.
