Korean Botox: Recommended Body Botox Dosage by Treatment Area
When you think of the center of Korea aesthetic, Gangnam, Seoul naturally comes to mind!😊
Many people may be looking into Korean dermatology clinics and aesthetic clinics in Gangnam, Seoul.
Hello, this is UH CELL Gangnam (formerly Doctor Petit Clinic Gangnam)! ~
Today, we’d like to talk about body Botox, a treatment that many people curious about!
Some people may think, “Isn’t Botox only for the face?”
However, in Korean aesthetic medicine, Botox is widely used not only for facial areas but also for various body areas.
Who should consider body botox?
✔ Looking to create a slimmer, straighter shoulder line
✔ Experiencing enlarged trapezius muscles or related discomfort
✔ Concerned about prominent calf muscles
✔ Wanting smoother, more refined leg lines
At Korean aesthetic clinics in Gangnam, Seoul, more and more people are choosing body Botox to help improve their body contours.
First, let’s briefly explain how Botox works.
Botox temporarily reduces muscle movement, which can gradually help decrease the size of the targeted muscles.
✔ Face → wrinkles improvement
✔ Jaw / body → Muscle reduction → Improved body lines
For this reason, in Korean aesthetic medicine, especially in Gangnam, Seoul,
Botox is widely used not only for wrinkle improvement but also for body contouring purposes.
Where Can Body Botox Be Used?
Body Botox can be applied to areas where muscles are more developed,
making the body line appear thicker.
The most common treatment areas are Trapezius muscles (shoulders) and calf muscles.
It can also be used in areas with excessive sweating,
such as the hands, feet, and underarms, and may help those who are concerned about hyperhidrosis.
When a body shape appears larger due to muscle development rather than fat,
Botox may also be performed on areas such as the arms or thighs.
In particular, many people visit Korean aesthetic clinics in Gangnam, Seoul before important events, such as weddings, to improve their body lines.
For areas such as the arms and thighs, the dosage is determined through consultation based on muscle size and desired results, allowing for a more personalized treatment plan.
Recommended Dosage Guide by Treatment Area
The dosage used for body Botox varies depending on factors such as
individual muscle size, level of discomfort, and lifestyle habits, so determining the appropriate amount through consultation is the most important step.
Injecting an excessive amount at once
may cause the muscles to become smaller than necessary,
which could lead to discomfort in daily activities.
his is something I have always emphasized since my time at Doctor Petit Clinic Gangnam,
and it remains the same at UH CELL Gangnam (formerly Doctor Petit Clinic Gangnam) today.
Rather than using a large amount from the beginning,
a safer approach is to start with the recommended dosage, observe the progress, and consider additional treatment if needed.
As a general guideline, we provide recommendations based on the following standards.
| Treatment areas | Recommended dosage |
|---|---|
| Trapezius muscles Calf muscles | 200 – 300 unit |
| Hyperhidrosis | 100 – 200 unit |
| Hands / Feet Underarm | 100 – 200 unit |
| Arms Thighs | Determined after consultation |
How long does body botox last?
The effects of body Botox usually appear gradually,
rather than immediately after the procedure, with noticeable changes
beginning around 1-2 months after treatment.
After that, the effects slowly wear off over approximately 4–6 months.
Although results can vary depending on individual lifestyle habits, repeat treatments are generally recommended every 3–6 months.
Compared to facial Botox,
body Botox tends to show results more slowly but may have a longer-lasting effect.
Post-treatment care after body Botox
After receiving body Botox, please keep the following points in mind:
- Bruising or swelling may occur at the injection site.
- Mild pain or a feeling of stiffness may be experienced, but it usually improves quickly.
- Avoid massaging the treated area, saunas, and intense exercise for a certain period after treatment.
There are also additional precautions depending on the treatment area:
Calf muscles / Thighs → Avoid wearing high heels or keeping the muscles under prolonged tension.
Trapezius muscles → Avoid habits such as carrying heavy bags on one side only.
Please also note that you may feel less strength when lifting heavy objects after treatment.
