Treatment Overview
Aging often first appears in the neck, with horizontal lines, vertical platysma bands, sagging skin, and loss of elasticity. These changes can make the neck look older than the face, affecting overall aesthetic harmony. Advanced Neck Line Smoothing Fillers and Botox treatments in Korea are minimally invasive dermatology injectables designed to restore smoothness, improve skin texture, and rejuvenate the neck’s appearance.
The treatment uses high-quality hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) fillers, or a combination with Botox injections. HA and CaHA fillers restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance skin elasticity, while Botox relaxes the platysma muscles, reducing vertical bands and creating a smoother neck contour.
Korea is internationally recognized for its expertise in neck rejuvenation. Clinics employ advanced injection techniques, premium products, and customized treatment plans that deliver natural, long-lasting results, combining aesthetic precision with innovative technologies.
