What is Wrinkle Botox?
Botulinum toxin injections for expression lines: forehead, glabella (frown lines), crow's feet, under-eye, bunny lines, nose flare and jaw. Mio offers three tiers: Allergan Botox (US original), Xeomin / Dysport (German / UK), and Korean domestic premium toxins at the lowest price.
Who is it for?
Anyone with lines that appear when they frown, smile or raise their brows, usually from the late 20s onward. Also used preventively.
How does it work?
The toxin blocks the nerve signal to the targeted muscle, so the muscle relaxes and the line it creates softens. Results appear in 3–7 days, peak at 2 weeks, and last 3–6 months.

Downtime and what to expect
Small, temporary bumps resembling mosquito bites may appear at the injection sites immediately after treatment. These typically subside naturally within 1 hour.
Aftercare (clinic instructions)
- Avoid vigorously rubbing or pressing the treated area for 1 week to help prevent the injected product from spreading to nearby muscles.
- Avoid lying down for 3–4 hours after treatment to allow the injected product to settle properly.
- Avoid saunas, steam rooms, strenuous exercise, and activities that raise body temperature for approximately 3 days.
- Mild bruising may occur at the injection sites. This typically fades naturally within a few days and is generally not a cause for concern.
How many sessions and how often?
Repeat treatments every 3–6 months are generally recommended, depending on when muscle activity begins to return.
Planning it into a Seoul trip
This treatment is tagged "first day" at Mio, meaning results develop over days and nothing visible is left behind, so do it early in your stay. This treatment is tagged "last day" at Mio because there is visible redness, marks or swelling for a few days; schedule it on your final day so it fades at home. Numbing cream, when used, adds about 30 minutes; plan 10–15 minutes plus consultation. See the first-day / last-day guide.
