Dermatology ClinicBotox for Sagging Skin in Busan, Korea What Botox can and cannot do for a softening jawline and neck, and when a lifting treatment is the better choice
Botox does not lift loose skin. What it can do is relax muscles that pull the lower face and neck downwards , and, as Skin Botox, make the surface look tighter and smoother. At JRYN Seomyeon, Dr. Yoon tells you honestly whether Botox will help or whether you need lifting instead.
Can Botox fix sagging skin?
Only mild sagging, and only in specific ways. Botox does not tighten loose skin or replace lost volume. It can relax the platysma, the thin neck muscle that pulls the jawline and mouth corners downwards, which some people find gives a slightly sharper jawline and softer neck bands. As Skin Botox, very diluted toxin is placed in the upper skin layers to reduce pore size, oil and fine crepiness, which can make the skin look firmer. For true laxity or jowls, lifting devices, threads or collagen stimulators do far more.

Botox for Sagging Skin FAQ
Still have questions? Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer in English.
Does Botox work for sagging skin?
Only for mild sagging. Botox can relax muscles that pull the jawline and neck downwards, and Skin Botox can make the surface look firmer, but it cannot lift loose skin or remove jowls. For real laxity, HIFU, radiofrequency or thread lifting works better.
How much is Botox for sagging skin in Busan?
At JRYN Seomyeon, Skin Botox is ₩20,000 with Korean toxin, ₩30,000 with Coretox and ₩90,000 with Dysport for 1 cc. Neck Botox is dosed individually and priced at consultation, and the doctor confirms your total before treatment.
What is a Nefertiti lift?
It is a name for Botox injected along the jawline and neck bands to relax the platysma muscle. Some people get a slightly sharper jawline and softer neck bands. The effect is subtle and works best on mild sagging with visible bands.
What is Skin Botox, and does it tighten skin?
Skin Botox places very diluted toxin in tiny droplets in the upper skin layers. It can reduce pores, oil and fine crepiness, which makes skin look smoother and a little tighter. It does not lift tissue, so it is often combined with a lifting treatment.
How long does Botox for sagging last?
Usually about 3 to 4 months. It starts working in 3 to 7 days and reaches its full effect at around 2 weeks. Repeating it regularly maintains the effect.
Is it better to combine Botox with lifting?
Often, yes. A lifting device or threads treat the loose tissue, while Botox reduces the muscle pull and refines the surface. The doctor can plan both on the same visit when appropriate.
Can I have it on a short trip to Busan?
Yes. Botox takes minutes and has minimal downtime. Treat early in your trip so the full effect shows before you fly home, and message us on WhatsApp to book.
