What is wrinkle Botox?
Many lines on the upper face are dynamic: they form each time you raise your brows, frown or smile. Over years, repeated folding can etch these lines into the skin. Wrinkle Botox places tiny amounts of neuromodulator into the muscles responsible, so they contract less forcefully and the skin above looks smoother. At Live Young Clinic in Apgujeong, Gangnam, the three most common areas are the forehead, the frown lines between the brows, and the crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes.
- Forehead: horizontal lines from raising the brows
- Glabella: vertical '11' lines from frowning
- Crow's feet: fan-shaped lines when you smile
Is it right for me?
Wrinkle Botox generally works well for lines that are more visible when you move than when your face is still. If a line is already deep at rest, Botox may soften it but not erase it, and Dr. Song may suggest combining it with a skin booster or filler. Forehead Botox also needs care in people whose brows sit low or who rely on their forehead to lift heavy eyelids; this is one reason an in-person assessment matters.
How Dr. Song plans treatment for a natural expression
During Needs Mapping, Dr. Song watches how you raise your brows, frown and smile, noting which muscle fibres pull hardest and how your brow position changes. The Curated Plan balances softening lines with keeping lift and movement, so your face still shows warmth and surprise. Every injection is placed by Dr. Song herself, with doses adjusted in 0.1-unit increments. Slightly lighter dosing in one spot and more in another can be the difference between a relaxed look and a heavy or startled one.
Aftercare and what to expect
You can usually return to normal activities soon after treatment. Tiny bumps at the injection points tend to fade quickly, and a small bruise is possible. It is commonly advised to stay upright for a few hours, avoid rubbing the area, and skip intense exercise, saunas and alcohol for a short while. The smoothing effect builds gradually over several days, and Dr. Song can advise whether a check-in is helpful.
- Avoid massaging or pressing the treated area
- Postpone facials and heat treatments briefly
- Contact the clinic if anything feels unusual

Frequently asked questions
Can Botox remove forehead wrinkles completely?
Botox can noticeably soften lines caused by movement, but deep lines that remain at rest may only improve partly. Dr. Song will assess your lines and explain realistic expectations, sometimes suggesting a combined plan with other treatments.
Will my eyebrows drop after forehead Botox?
Brow heaviness can happen when forehead muscles are over-relaxed. Dr. Song evaluates brow position and eyelid support first and doses in 0.1-unit steps to reduce this risk, though every face responds a little differently.
How soon will I see results from wrinkle Botox?
Results typically develop gradually over several days rather than immediately. If you are visiting Gangnam for a short trip, it helps to schedule treatment early in your stay so you can see the effect and ask questions before leaving.
Can I treat crow's feet and frown lines in one visit?
Often yes. Many people treat several upper-face areas together so the result looks balanced. Dr. Song decides which areas to include after assessing your expressions at the Apgujeong clinic. Treating them in one session also keeps follow-up simple.
Is there downtime after wrinkle Botox?
Downtime is usually minimal. Small bumps or slight redness may appear briefly, and bruising is possible. Most people return to their day soon after, following simple aftercare such as avoiding heat, alcohol and rubbing the area for a short time.
