What is Botox and what can it do?
Botox is a purified neuromodulator injected in very small amounts to temporarily relax specific muscles. When a muscle that creates a line or adds bulk is calmed, the skin above it looks smoother or the contour looks softer. At Live Young Clinic in Apgujeong, Gangnam, Botox is used for the face and for body contouring, always as part of a plan rather than a one-size menu.
Because the effect is temporary and gradual, Botox is often a comfortable first step for people who want a fresher look without surgery. How long results last varies from person to person, and Dr. Song will explain what to expect for your area and goals.
- Expression lines: forehead, frown lines, crow's feet
- Jaw (masseter) slimming for a softer lower face
- Skin Botox for a smoother, more refined surface
- Trap (shoulder) and calf Botox for body lines
Who is Botox suited to?
Botox tends to suit adults who notice lines that appear when they move their face, a square jaw from strong chewing muscles, or bulky shoulder or calf muscles they would like to soften. It is not the right tool for lost volume or deep folds that are present at rest; those are often better addressed with filler or lifting, which Dr. Song can combine where helpful. Pregnancy, certain neuromuscular conditions and some medications may make Botox unsuitable, so please share your medical history during the consultation.
How Dr. Song plans your Botox: precision to 0.1 unit
Live Young Clinic rejects the factory-style approach found at some high-volume clinics. In Needs Mapping, Dr. Song studies your facial anatomy and expression muscles, looking at your face both at rest and when you smile. She then builds a Curated Plan that considers muscle strength, bone structure and how your face is likely to age over the next ten years. In the Tailored Treatment stage, Dr. Song places every injection herself, adjusting doses in 0.1-unit steps. The aim is to calm only what needs calming so you still look like yourself, just more rested and balanced.
- Needs Mapping: anatomy and expression analysis
- Curated Plan: designed by the doctor after 1:1 consultation
- Tailored Treatment: only the changes you need
What to expect on the day and afterwards
Treatment itself is usually quick. Small bumps or slight redness at injection points typically settle within a short time, and minor bruising is possible. Results appear gradually over the following days rather than instantly. Dr. Song commonly advises avoiding pressing or massaging the treated area, strenuous exercise, saunas and alcohol for a short period afterward. If you are travelling, ask about the timing of any follow-up check before you fly home.
