Botulinum toxin injections are among the most requested treatments in Seoul, and at Val:U in Myeongdong they cover far more than forehead lines. The same basic principle, temporarily relaxing a muscle or reducing gland or sweat activity, can soften expression lines, slim a square jaw, refine the side profile or calm heavy sweating. Because the areas and goals differ so much, this page gives an overview of every Botox option at the clinic, near Euljiro 1-ga and Myeongdong stations, and how to pick the right one.
Botox treatments at Val:U
What can Botox treat? An overview
Botox works by blocking the nerve signal that tells a muscle to contract, or, in sweat and salivary glands, by reducing secretion. The effect is gradual and temporary, so treatments are usually repeated when the result fades. At Val:U the category is split by purpose: smoothing lines, contouring the face, refining the body line and improving skin quality.
Because the toxin wears off gradually, a result that is too subtle can be topped up at a follow-up, while an overly strong result cannot be reversed quickly. That is one reason conservative dosing is favored.
Every Botox treatment at Val:U, at a glance
Here is a short description of each option with its starting price (KRW, VAT excluded).

How to choose the right Botox for your concern
Start with the question you want answered. If lines appear when you frown or smile, wrinkle Botox is usually the starting point. If your face looks wide at the jaw, the cause matters: a thick chewing muscle responds to jaw Botox, while a swollen-looking area just below and in front of the ear may be the parotid gland. Fullness under the chin can come from a gland, from fat or from loose skin, and each needs a different approach, which is why the doctor examines and palpates the area before recommending anything.
It is also common to combine areas, such as jaw and temporalis for overall face slimming, or wrinkle and skin Botox for texture. Doses are planned so the combination still looks natural.
What does Botox cost in Myeongdong?
Across the category, prices start at KRW 25,000 for wrinkle and cheekbone Botox and reach KRW 89,000~ for hyperhidrosis and body Botox. The final price depends on how many areas are treated, the amount of product needed and the product chosen. All listed prices exclude 10% VAT. Package options, including the Welcome Event from KRW 19,000, may also be available; the team can explain what applies to your visit.
Safety, side effects and realistic results
Most people notice only brief redness or small bumps at injection points. Bruising, mild headache or temporary tenderness can happen. Less commonly, the product can affect nearby muscles, leading to asymmetry, a heavy brow or, with jaw treatment, temporary chewing fatigue. These effects usually settle as the toxin wears off. Botox is generally not given during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or to people with certain neuromuscular conditions, so share your medical history at consultation.
Results vary. Some areas show change within days, while muscle-slimming effects can take several weeks to become visible.

Frequently asked questions
How much is Botox in Myeongdong at Val:U?
Botox at Val:U starts from KRW 25,000 for wrinkle and cheekbone areas, KRW 33,000 for jaw slimming, and up to KRW 89,000~ for hyperhidrosis and body Botox. Prices exclude 10% VAT and depend on the area, dose and product confirmed at your consultation.
Which Botox is right for a wide lower face?
It depends on the cause. A strong masseter muscle usually responds to jaw Botox, while enlarged salivary glands below the ear or under the chin need gland-targeted Botox. Fat or loose skin may call for contouring injections or lifting instead. The doctor examines the area to tell these apart.
Can I combine several Botox areas in one visit?
Often, yes. Jaw, temporalis and wrinkle Botox are commonly done in the same session. The doctor plans the total dose so the result looks balanced and stays within safe limits. Combining areas can also save you a second trip, which helps if you are visiting Seoul for only a few days.
How long does Botox take to work and how long does it last?
For expression lines, change typically begins within a few days and peaks around two weeks. Muscle slimming in the jaw or body develops more slowly, often over several weeks. Effects generally last a few months, though duration varies with the area, dose, metabolism and how strongly you use the muscle.
Who should avoid Botox?
Botox is generally avoided during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in people with certain neuromuscular disorders, and where there is an active skin infection at the injection site. Some medications also matter. Mention your full medical history and any previous reactions so the doctor can decide whether treatment is appropriate.
