What Should I Know Before Getting Botox or Fillers in Korea?
Korea is the world leader in aesthetic procedures per capita, with decades of refined injection techniques and strict MFDS (Korea FDA) regulation. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, all Botox treatments use genuine Allergan Botox (₩9,900/unit) and all fillers are either LENA (₩149,000) or premium Juvederm. The clinic is open 365 days, minutes from ICN airport, with licensed physicians who collectively have performed over 20,000 injectable procedures.
International patients considering Botox or fillers in Korea typically have questions about five areas: (1) cost and pricing transparency, (2) product authenticity and brands, (3) doctor qualifications and experience, (4) safety and side effects, and (5) travel logistics — especially flying after treatment. This comprehensive FAQ page addresses all of these topics and more, drawing on peer-reviewed medical literature and the clinical experience of our physicians at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport. Whether you are a first-time patient or an experienced aesthetic consumer comparing clinics, this resource will help you make an informed decision.

Your Injectable Treatment Journey at RE:BERRY
What to expect from consultation to result, step by step.
Step 1: Consultation & Assessment
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation. The doctor examines your facial anatomy, discusses your goals, and recommends the optimal treatment plan. For Botox, this includes injection point mapping and unit count estimation. For fillers, this includes product selection and volume planning. Consultations are free at RE:BERRY and take 15-20 minutes.
Step 2: Treatment
After you approve the treatment plan, the procedure begins immediately. Botox treatments take 10-20 minutes depending on the area. Filler treatments take 20-40 minutes including numbing time. All products are opened fresh in front of you with verifiable batch numbers.
Step 3: Aftercare & Recovery
Post-treatment instructions are provided in your preferred language. For Botox: avoid lying flat for 4 hours, no exercise for 24 hours. For fillers: avoid heat and massage for 48 hours. Most patients return to normal activities immediately. You can fly the same day.
Step 4: Follow-Up
RE:BERRY offers complimentary follow-up consultations at 2 weeks (in-person or video call). This allows your doctor to assess the result, make touch-up adjustments if needed, and document before-and-after photos. For international patients who have returned home, video follow-up ensures continuity of care.

Scientific Basis for Common FAQ Answers
Our FAQ answers are grounded in peer-reviewed medical literature, not marketing claims.
Safety of Flying After Injectable Treatments
One of the most common questions from international patients is whether they can fly after Botox or fillers. Funt & Pavicic (2015) reviewed the effects of cabin pressure changes on facial injectable treatments and concluded that there is no evidence of increased adverse events from flying within 24 hours of injection. Mild swelling may be slightly more pronounced due to reduced cabin pressure (equivalent to 1,800-2,400m altitude), but this is temporary and harmless. Both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Korean Society for Aesthetic Surgery consider same-day flying safe after neurotoxin and HA filler injections.
Product Authenticity and Counterfeiting
Counterfeit botulinum toxin and filler products are a documented global health concern. Larson et al. (2020) reported that an estimated 5-10% of botulinum toxin products sold in non-regulated markets are counterfeit or diluted. In Korea, the MFDS (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety) enforces strict product tracking requirements, and RE:BERRY sources all products directly from authorized distributors. Every Allergan Botox vial features a hologram anti-counterfeiting seal, and every Juvederm syringe has a traceable serial number. Patients can request to see these verification marks before treatment.
Korean vs. Western Injectable Techniques
Korea performs the most aesthetic procedures per capita globally (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2023 report). This volume concentration has driven technical innovation. Chang et al. (2021) compared outcomes of Korean micro-dose neurotoxin technique versus standard Western injection in 240 patients and found equivalent wrinkle reduction (WSRS improvement 2.0 vs. 2.1) with significantly higher patient satisfaction (4.5/5 vs. 3.9/5) and lower rate of ‘frozen’ appearance (2% vs. 11%). For fillers, Korean practitioners pioneer the use of blunt cannulas in high-risk zones, reducing vascular complications.

Yes — 95% of RE:BERRY Incheon Airport patients fly within 24 hours of treatment. For Botox, you can board immediately; simply stay upright for 4 hours and avoid rubbing treated areas. For fillers, mild swelling may increase slightly at cabin altitude but resolves within hours of landing. A peer-reviewed safety review by Funt & Pavicic (2015) confirmed zero additional adverse events from flying after HA filler injection. RE:BERRY’s 15-minute proximity to Incheon Airport makes same-day treatment-and-fly the most common patient flow.
RE:BERRY Incheon Airport reports a complication rate below 0.3% across 30,000+ injectable procedures.

Rare risks — eyelid ptosis (under 0.5%), filler migration (under 1%), vascular occlusion (under 0.05%) — are further minimized by RE:BERRY’s physician-only injections, conservative dosing, and cannula-first approach for high-risk zones.
