Treatment Overview
The Botox Face Lift is a non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment that uses strategically placed Botox injections to relax targeted facial muscles, creating a lifting and smoothing effect. Instead of cutting or repositioning tissues like in surgical facelifts, Botox subtly lifts sagging areas, reduces fine lines, and restores a youthful facial contour.
In Korea, Botox Face Lifts are performed with ultra-precise micro-injection techniques and customized mapping to enhance natural beauty without the “frozen” look. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and offers immediate improvement with no downtime.
