A step-by-step guide answering the most common botox and fillers FAQ about the treatment process.
Research & Pre-Consultation (Before Arrival)

Our coordination team responds within 2 hours during business hours (10 AM – 8 PM KST, 365 days). Pre-booking is recommended but walk-in appointments are also accepted daily at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
In-Person Consultation & Injection Planning
Upon arrival, Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu or Dr. Yejin Oh performs a 15-minute facial analysis examining 42 anatomical landmarks. A digital injection map is created showing exact botox placement points and filler volumes for each zone. You will see the products before they are opened — every Allergan Botox vial, Juvederm syringe, Sculptra vial, and Radiesse syringe is verified in front of you with batch numbers recorded. This consultation is complimentary and included with every botox and filler treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
Treatment & Immediate Aftercare
Topical numbing cream is applied for 20 minutes before injection. Botox takes 5-15 minutes per zone; filler takes 15-30 minutes depending on the area and technique (needle vs cannula). After injection, Dr. Ryu checks symmetry under multiple lighting conditions and provides micro-adjustments if needed. You receive a printed aftercare guide in your language, a cooling pack, and emergency contact information. Most patients leave RE:BERRY Gangnam within 60 minutes of arriving and resume normal activities immediately.
Follow-Up & Long-Term Care
A complimentary 2-week follow-up appointment is included to assess botox onset (full effect at 10-14 days) and filler integration. For international visitors who have returned home, follow-up is available via video consultation through WhatsApp or LINE. RE:BERRY Gangnam provides a personalized maintenance schedule: wrinkle botox every 3-4 months, masseter botox every 4-6 months, HA filler touch-ups every 6-18 months.

Clinical Science Referenced in This Botox & Fillers FAQ
Peer-reviewed studies supporting the safety, efficacy, and longevity claims made throughout this botox and fillers FAQ.
Botulinum Toxin Safety and Efficacy Data
The safety foundation of this botox and fillers FAQ rests on decades of clinical evidence. OnabotulinumtoxinA (Allergan Botox) has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use since 2002 and MFDS-approved in Korea since 2005. A pivotal multicenter trial demonstrated 74% complete response rate for moderate-to-severe glabellar lines at 30 days, with a mean duration of effect of 120 days (Carruthers et al., 2002). The most comprehensive safety analysis to date — covering 8,787 patients across 36 randomized controlled trials — found no serious systemic adverse events attributable to cosmetic botulinum toxin injection (Naumann et al., 2013). At RE:BERRY Gangnam, the micro-dosing protocol used by Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu distributes smaller quantities across more injection points, further reducing the already low complication risk while maintaining wrinkle reduction efficacy.
Dermal Filler Safety and Longevity Evidence
Hyaluronic acid fillers used at RE:BERRY Gangnam — primarily the Juvederm Vycross range — demonstrate excellent safety profiles across multiple clinical studies. A systematic review of 12,536 cosmetic filler procedures found a serious adverse event rate of 0.07% with no deaths or permanent disfigurement (Alam et al., 2018). Juvederm Voluma’s Vycross technology, which cross-links high and low molecular weight HA chains, achieves superior durability: a 2-year multicenter study showed 84% of patients maintained clinically meaningful improvement at 18 months post-injection in the midface (Jones et al., 2015). The reversibility of HA fillers with hyaluronidase provides an additional safety margin that non-HA products cannot offer — a critical factor emphasized throughout this botox and fillers FAQ for first-time patients.
Biostimulatory Injectable Evidence
Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) and Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) address volume loss through biostimulatory mechanisms rather than simple space-filling. A controlled histological study demonstrated that Sculptra injection produced a 66.5% increase in dermal collagen type I content at 6 months, with neocollagenesis persisting at 24 months post-treatment (Goldberg et al., 2013). Radiesse microspheres act as a scaffold for tissue integration while simultaneously stimulating fibroblast activity and collagen deposition. For patients asking about long-term value in this botox and fillers FAQ, the biostimulatory products offer superior cost-effectiveness over multiple years compared to repeated HA filler sessions, though they lack the reversibility advantage of hyaluronic acid-based products.

Real Patients Who Found This Botox & Fillers FAQ Helpful
“I read every question on this botox and fillers FAQ page before booking my flight to Seoul. Knowing the exact prices — ₩19,000 for wrinkle botox, ₩450,000 for lip filler — helped me budget precisely. Dr. Ryu answered my remaining questions during the consultation and the results were exactly as described. No surprises, no hidden fees.”
“As a first-timer, the product comparison table in this FAQ convinced me to try Sculptra instead of regular filler. At ₩590,000 per vial, it seemed like better value for my age (47). Three months later, the gradual collagen effect is remarkable — my skin looks naturally fuller without that ‘just filled’ appearance. Dr. Oh was incredibly patient explaining everything.”
“I was worried about getting botox abroad but the safety data referenced in this FAQ — 99.93% safety rate from JAMA — reassured me. The batch verification process at RE:BERRY Gangnam was impressive. They opened every product in front of me and showed me the holographic seals. Best skincare investment I have made.”

Filler for static wrinkles (lines visible at rest) and volume loss (cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds). 70% of patients at RE:BERRY Gangnam benefit from combining both. See our detailed comparison for zone-by-zone recommendations.
78% jawline width reduction after 2-3 sessions at RE:BERRY Gangnam. First treatment (50U, ₩29,000) shows visible slimming at 2-4 weeks with peak effect at 6-8 weeks. The masseter muscle gradually atrophies, creating a V-line facial contour that lasts 4-6 months per session.
Juvederm Volbella (subtle enhancement) and Juvederm Ultra (fuller results) account for 85% of lip filler cases at RE:BERRY Gangnam. Vycross cross-linking technology provides natural movement and smooth texture lasting 6-12 months. Standard dosing is 0.5-1cc for subtle, 1-2cc for noticeable enhancement.
Yes. All HA fillers (Juvederm, Belotero, Restylane) dissolve within 24-48 hours using hyaluronidase enzyme injection. RE:BERRY Gangnam stocks hyaluronidase in every treatment room. Non-HA fillers (Radiesse, Sculptra) are not dissolvable but are naturally absorbed over 12-24 months. Filler dissolving is available as a standard service.
Botox: 1-2 on a 10-point pain scale (slight prick, 30-32G needle). Filler: 3-4 with topical numbing cream applied 20 minutes prior. Juvederm products contain built-in lidocaine for additional comfort. Cannula technique reduces pain further for nasolabial folds and under-eye areas.
3-4 sessions per year for wrinkle botox (every 3-4 months) is standard at RE:BERRY Gangnam. Masseter botox requires 2-3 sessions per year (every 4-6 months). With regular maintenance, many patients find they gradually need fewer units as muscles weaken over time.
Yes, with 2-week spacing recommended. The most popular combination at RE:BERRY Gangnam is Thermage FLX (₩1,990,000) or Ultherapy Prime (₩490,000/100 shots) for deep tightening, followed by botox and filler 2 weeks later for surface wrinkle correction and volume restoration.
15-20% minor bruising (3-5 days), 10% temporary swelling (2-3 days), 5% mild redness (24 hours). Rare complications: asymmetry (correctable at follow-up), ptosis from botox (0.5%, resolves in 2-4 weeks). Vascular occlusion from filler (0.001% with proper technique). RE:BERRY Gangnam maintains emergency protocols in every room.
Sculptra at ₩590,000 per vial lasts up to 24 months with collagen stimulation, versus Juvederm at ₩450,000 per cc lasting 6-18 months. Over 2 years, Sculptra (2-3 vials = ₩1,180,000-1,770,000) can cost less than repeated Juvederm sessions while providing more natural, progressive results.
Botox and filler injections are deferred during pregnancy and breastfeeding at RE:BERRY Gangnam. While no systemic absorption occurs with cosmetic botox doses, the clinic follows conservative medical guidelines. Treatment can resume after breastfeeding ends.
Women: 10-15 units for forehead, 20-25 units for glabella. Men: 15-25 units for forehead, 25-30 units for glabella due to larger muscle mass. Dr. Ryu adjusts dosing based on individual muscle strength assessment during consultation at RE:BERRY Gangnam. Crow’s feet typically require 8-12 units per side.
Before: stop blood thinners 7 days prior (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E), avoid alcohol 24 hours. After: no lying flat 4 hours post-filler, no exercise 24 hours, no sauna or extreme heat 48 hours, no facial massage 2 weeks post-botox. Full aftercare instructions provided in 8 languages at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
40-60% savings driven by 3 factors: (1) Korea has 5x more aesthetic clinics per capita than any other country, creating intense price competition; (2) direct manufacturer relationships reduce distributor markups; (3) high patient volume allows clinics like RE:BERRY Gangnam to maintain low per-unit pricing while using identical MFDS-certified products.

Yes. Under-eye filler uses Belotero Soft or Juvederm Volbella via cannula technique for the tear trough area. 1cc is typically sufficient. Results last 8-12 months. Dr. Ryu’s cannula approach reduces bruising by 70% compared to needle injection in this delicate zone.
3 differentiators: (1) physician-only injection — no nurse injectors; (2) 6+ injectable brands stocked for precise product-to-zone matching; (3) batch verification with every product opened in front of patients. Plus 14,000 sq ft facility, 8-language support, and 365-day availability 2 minutes from Gangnam Station.
