Treatment Overview
Freeze Line Botox involves injecting botulinum toxin into specific facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. By temporarily relaxing these muscles, the skin above them smooths out, and further deepening of lines is prevented. Korean dermatologists focus on achieving a gentle freeze—softening wrinkles while keeping expressions natural and elegant.
Common treatment areas include the forehead, glabella (frown lines), crow’s feet, bunny lines (nose), smile lines, and neck bands.
Purpose and Benefits
- Wrinkle Reduction: Smooths forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, and other expression-related wrinkles.
- Preventive Anti-Aging: Stops fine lines from turning into deep, permanent wrinkles.
- Natural Look: Provides a softened, youthful appearance without stiffness.
- Confidence Boost: Refreshes facial expressions and restores youthful energy.
- Quick Results: Visible improvement within days, with full effect in 1–2 weeks.
- Non-Surgical Solution: Provides age-defying results without invasive procedures.
Ideal Candidates
- Adults in their late 20s and above beginning to see fine lines or expression wrinkles.
- Patients with forehead creases, frown lines, crow’s feet, or smile wrinkles.
- Those wanting preventive anti-aging care before wrinkles deepen.
- Individuals who prefer non-surgical, minimal-downtime solutions.
- Anyone seeking a refreshed, smoother look with natural movement.
Possible Risks and Complications
While Freeze Line Botox is safe when administered by licensed dermatologists in Korea, some minor side effects may occur:
- Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites (temporary).
- Tightness or heaviness in the treated area (resolves within a few days).
- Rare temporary asymmetry or drooping if incorrectly injected.
- Extremely rare allergic reactions.
With Korea’s emphasis on precision dosing and elegant techniques, complications are minimal compared to standard Botox practices elsewhere.
Surgical Techniques Used
- Micro-Dose Injections: Small, carefully measured doses minimize stiffness.
- Wrinkle Mapping: Dermatologists analyze expression patterns to place Botox only where needed.
- Targeted Application: Focused on areas like forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, or neck bands.
- Customized Balance: Doses tailored to each patient’s muscle strength and aesthetic goals.
- Combination Care: Often paired with skin boosters, fillers, or laser toning for holistic anti-aging.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Immediately After: Mild redness or swelling at injection points, fading within hours.
- Two to Three Days: Botox starts to take effect with softening of wrinkles.
- One to Two Weeks: Full results visible—skin appears smoother and refreshed.
- Downtime: None—patients can return to normal life immediately.
Aftercare Tips
- Avoid massaging or pressing on treated areas for at least 4–6 hours.
- Refrain from strenuous exercise, alcohol, or saunas for 24 hours.
- Apply sunscreen daily to protect rejuvenated skin.
- Follow maintenance schedules recommended by your dermatologist.
Results and Longevity

- Short-Term (1–2 Weeks): Wrinkles noticeably smoother, skin looks younger.
