Treatment Overview
The neck is one of the first areas to show visible signs of aging. Horizontal lines, vertical platysma bands, and sagging skin can make the neck look older than the face. Botox Neck Line Reduction in Korea is a minimally invasive dermatology injectable procedure designed to smooth vertical and horizontal neck lines, relax platysma muscles, and rejuvenate overall neck aesthetics.
Korean clinics are internationally renowned for their expertise in neck rejuvenation, offering advanced injection techniques, precise Botox dosing, and personalized treatment plans to deliver subtle, natural, and long-lasting results. Clinics combine aesthetic precision with innovative technologies for safe and effective outcomes.

- Offering a non-surgical alternative to neck lift procedures.
