How Botox Treatment Works at RE:BERRY Gangnam
A precision-guided botox protocol ensuring natural results with zero overcorrection.
Facial Analysis & Muscle Mapping
Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu begins every botox session with a detailed facial muscle assessment. Using dynamic analysis — observing muscle movement during expressions like frowning, smiling, and squinting — he maps the precise injection points for optimal wrinkle relaxation or muscle reduction. For masseter botox, bilateral muscle thickness is measured to determine exact dosing (typically 25U per side). For forehead and glabella botox, the brow position and frontalis strength are evaluated to prevent brow ptosis. This personalized approach takes 5-10 minutes and ensures the botox protocol matches your unique facial anatomy, preventing the frozen or overdone look that results from template-based injection patterns used at high-volume discount clinics.
Brand Selection & Dosing Calculation
RE:BERRY Gangnam stocks Allergan Botox, Xeomin, and Korean premium formulations, and the physician selects the optimal brand based on your treatment area, previous botox history, and desired duration. Allergan Botox offers the longest track record for cosmetic use with predictable 3-4 month duration. Xeomin’s pure 150kDa neurotoxin formulation reduces the risk of antibody formation for patients receiving frequent treatments. Korean premium options like Letybo provide comparable efficacy at competitive pricing. Dosing is calculated per unit — never per syringe — ensuring transparent pricing and precise muscle relaxation without overcorrection.
Precision Injection by Physician
All botox injections at RE:BERRY Gangnam are performed exclusively by Dr. Ryu or Dr. Oh — never delegated. Using 30-32 gauge needles, the physician delivers measured doses at precisely mapped anatomical points. For wrinkle botox, 2-4 units per injection point across 4-5 points per area is standard. For jawline slimming, deeper intramuscular injection into the masseter body ensures even distribution across the muscle belly. The entire injection process takes 10-15 minutes. Ice or topical numbing is available but most patients report only mild pinprick sensation. Bruising risk is minimized through meticulous vessel avoidance and post-injection gentle pressure.
Post-Injection Care & 2-Week Follow-Up
Immediately after your botox treatment, the clinic provides written aftercare instructions in your preferred language (8 languages available). Key guidelines: remain upright for 4 hours, avoid rubbing the treated area for 24 hours, skip intense exercise for 24 hours, and avoid saunas or hot baths for 48 hours. Botox onset begins at 48-72 hours, with full effect visible at 10-14 days. RE:BERRY Gangnam offers a complimentary 2-week follow-up assessment (in-person or via photo review for international patients) to evaluate symmetry and determine if any touch-up units are needed. This follow-up protocol ensures consistently natural-looking results and catches any asymmetry early.
What to Expect from Botox Treatment
- Wrinkle Reduction in 3-5 Days Botox onset begins at 48-72 hours with visible wrinkle softening by day 5. Full effect at 10-14 days. Forehead lines, crow’s feet, and glabella frown lines smooth dramatically without surgery.
- V-Line Jawline Contouring Masseter botox (50U) reduces jaw muscle volume by 20-30% over 4-8 weeks, creating a slimmer V-line facial contour. Effects last 4-6 months per session, with progressive refinement over 2-3 treatments.
- Zero Downtime Procedure Return to work immediately after botox at RE:BERRY Gangnam. No bandages, no visible marks. Minor pinpoint redness resolves within 30 minutes. Makeup can be applied 4 hours post-injection.
- Therapeutic Hyperhidrosis Control 100U muscle botox eliminates excessive sweating in underarms, palms, or feet for 6-8 months per session. Clinical studies show 82-87% sweat reduction starting within 1 week of injection.
- Preventive Anti-Aging Regular botox every 3-4 months prevents static wrinkle formation by reducing repetitive muscle contractions. Patients who begin botox in their late 20s-30s maintain smoother skin texture long-term.
- Physician-Only Precision Every botox injection at RE:BERRY Gangnam is performed by Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu or Dr. Yejin Oh. No nurse injectors, no delegation. This ensures anatomically precise placement and consistent, natural results.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 0 | Botox injection completed in 10-15 minutes. Mild pinpoint redness at injection sites resolves within 30 minutes. Resume normal activities immediately. |
| Day 2-3 | Onset of muscle relaxation begins. Frown lines start softening. Jaw muscle feels slightly relaxed in masseter cases. No visible bruising in most patients. |
| Day 7-14 | Full botox effect visible. Wrinkles significantly smoothed. Jawline appears slimmer. Physician follow-up assessment to check symmetry and determine if touch-up needed. |
| Month 1-2 | Peak results for wrinkle botox. Masseter volume reduction becomes visible as muscle atrophy progresses. Skin overlying treated areas appears smoother. |
| Month 3-4 | Wrinkle botox gradually wears off. Natural muscle movement returns progressively. Schedule maintenance session for continuous results. |
| Month 4-6 | Masseter botox effects sustained longer than wrinkle areas due to larger muscle mass. Repeated sessions extend duration progressively with each treatment cycle. |

The Science Behind Botox Treatment
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting botulinum toxin type A for cosmetic and therapeutic applications.
Mechanism of Botulinum Toxin Type A
Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) works by cleaving SNAP-25 protein at the neuromuscular junction, preventing acetylcholine release from presynaptic vesicles. This reversible chemodenervation produces dose-dependent muscle relaxation within 48-72 hours, reaching peak effect at 10-14 days. The blockade duration averages 3-4 months for cosmetic applications and 4-6 months for larger muscles like the masseter. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, botox injection protocols leverage this pharmacological precision to achieve targeted wrinkle reduction without affecting adjacent muscle groups, maintaining natural facial expression while eliminating dynamic lines.
Cosmetic Efficacy: Wrinkles and Facial Contouring
A landmark randomized controlled trial by Ascher et al. (2004) demonstrated that 20U of onabotulinumtoxinA reduced glabella frown line severity by 2 or more grades on the Facial Wrinkle Scale in 80% of subjects at day 30, compared to 3% in the placebo group. For masseter reduction, To et al. (2001) established that 25U per side produces measurable muscle volume reduction of 31% at 12 weeks as quantified by ultrasonography, with progressive V-line facial contour improvement over 2-3 treatment cycles. The botox approach at RE:BERRY Gangnam follows these evidence-based dosing protocols, with adjustments for individual muscle mass, prior treatment history, and desired aesthetic outcome.
Safety Profile and Long-Term Outcomes
BoNT-A has over 30 years of clinical safety data. A systematic review by Brin et al. (2009) analyzing 36 randomized controlled trials involving 8,787 subjects confirmed that cosmetic botox has an excellent safety profile with adverse events limited to transient injection-site reactions (3.2%), headache (2.1%), and rare brow ptosis (1.3%) — all self-resolving within 2-4 weeks. Long-term studies demonstrate that repeated botox use over 10+ years does not cause muscle atrophy beyond the desired therapeutic effect, and regular maintenance every 3-4 months may actually extend the duration of effect over successive treatment cycles due to sustained muscle conditioning.
Therapeutic Applications: Hyperhidrosis
Beyond cosmetic uses, botox is FDA-approved for severe primary hyperhidrosis. Naumann and Lowe (2001) demonstrated that 50U per axilla reduced sweat production by 82-87% at 4 weeks, with effects lasting 6-8 months. The 100U muscle botox protocol at RE:BERRY Gangnam applies this evidence to underarm, palm, and plantar hyperhidrosis treatment, providing significant quality-of-life improvement for patients with excessive sweating that does not respond to topical antiperspirants.

What Our Patients Say About Botox
“I was nervous about looking frozen, but Dr. Ryu spent time analyzing my facial movements before injecting. The result is incredibly natural — my forehead lines are gone but I can still raise my eyebrows normally. The ₩19,000 per area pricing is unbelievable compared to ₩350,000+ I paid in Tokyo.”
“I have been getting masseter botox every 5 months for a year now. The V-line result is dramatic — my jaw looks completely different from when I started. The 50U dosing at ₩29,000 is what I would pay for 10U at home in Sydney. RE:BERRY is worth flying to Seoul for.”
“The calf botox (100U) changed my life. I hated my muscular calves and had tried everything. After 2 sessions at RE:BERRY Gangnam, my calves are noticeably slimmer and I can wear boots comfortably. The entire process took 15 minutes and the staff spoke perfect English.”
