Face Slimming Botox in Seoul
Face Slimming Botox is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to create a slimmer and more balanced facial appearance by reducing overactive facial muscles. This treatment focuses on muscle-related facial width rather than fat or bone, offering gradual and natural-looking contour refinement.

What is Face Slimming Botox ?
Face Slimming Botox involves injecting botulinum toxin into specific facial muscles—most commonly the masseter and other lower-face muscles—to reduce excessive muscle activity. By relaxing these muscles, the lower face gradually appears narrower and more refined.
How Face Slimming Botox works

Cleansing and preparation of the injection areas
