Body Botox in Myeongdong & Euljiro at Val:U Dermatology Clinic

Strong shoulder or calf muscles can make the neck look shorter or the legs look bulkier than some people would like. Body Botox at Val:U in Myeongdong relaxes those muscles so that, over time, they reduce in size and the silhouette looks more streamlined. It is a non-surgical option popular in Korea for a longer-looking neck line and slimmer calves. The clinic is easy to reach from Euljiro 1-ga or Myeongdong Station, even on weekends.

Which body areas can Botox slim?

The most common target is the upper trapezius, the muscle that runs from the neck to the shoulder. When it is well developed, the shoulders look high and the neck looks shorter. Relaxing it can create a longer, softer line from ear to shoulder, sometimes called a "shoulder line" treatment.

The calves are another popular area. Where calf width comes from muscle, especially the inner or outer bulge, Botox can reduce its size over time. Other areas may be discussed depending on your goals.

Before treating, the doctor looks at posture, how the muscle moves and how much of the shape is muscle versus fat. For the shoulders, rounded posture and neck tension can also make the area look higher, so small habit changes may complement the injections.

• Shoulders / upper trapezius
• Calves (gastrocnemius)
• Other muscle areas, assessed individually

Body Botox price in Myeongdong

Body Botox at Val:U starts from KRW 89,000, excluding 10% VAT. Larger muscles need more product than facial areas, so the final price depends on which area you treat, how many units are needed and the product chosen. Treating both shoulders and calves will cost more than one area. The clinic confirms the total after examining you.

How the treatment is done

The doctor examines the muscle at rest and when contracted, for example by asking you to shrug your shoulders or rise onto your toes. Injection points are marked across the bulkiest part of the muscle. Multiple injections are then made with a fine needle. The process usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, and you can walk out and continue your day.

Wear clothing that gives easy access to the area, such as a loose top for shoulders or a skirt or shorts for calves.

Shoulders and calves each need a different number of units, so ask for a quote per area and for the combination. If you are planning several body areas, the doctor may suggest spacing them to see how you respond first.

Recovery, side effects and realistic outcomes

Most people have mild soreness, small bruises or a dull ache at the injection sites. Because the treated muscle becomes weaker, you may notice some fatigue with certain movements, such as carrying heavy bags after shoulder treatment or climbing stairs and running after calf treatment. This typically eases as your body adapts or as the toxin wears off.

Slimming develops gradually, often over four to eight weeks, and can last several months. Results vary. Botox does not reduce fat, so if an area is mainly fatty tissue, the Val:U S-line body injection or ONDA body lifting might be discussed instead.

Avoid massaging the area and skip intense workouts of the treated muscle for at least the first day.

Who should think twice?

Athletes, dancers or people whose work relies on strong shoulders or calves should discuss the trade-off in strength carefully. Body Botox is usually avoided during pregnancy or breastfeeding and in people with neuromuscular conditions. Let the doctor know about any medications, recent injuries or planned sports events.
