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.

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.

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.

Allergan Botox has a 20+ year safety record with FDA/MFDS approval. Common side effects: minor bruising (5-10%), temporary headache (3%), mild swelling. Serious adverse events are extremely rare (<0.01%) when administered by trained physicians. The safety profile is extensively documented in peer-reviewed literature.
Hyaluronic acid fillers have a 20-year global safety record. Common side effects: swelling (100%, resolves in 1-7 days), bruising (10-30%), tenderness. Serious risks (vascular occlusion) are extremely rare and further minimized by cannula technique. HA fillers are fully reversible with hyaluronidase.
Wrinkle Botox: 4-6 months. Masseter (jawline): 6-12 months. Effects begin within 3-5 days and peak at 14 days (wrinkle) or 8-12 weeks (masseter). Regular treatment may extend duration over time.
LENA Filler: 8-12 months. Juvederm Ultra: 12-15 months. Juvederm Voluma: 15-18+ months. Duration varies by area (lips metabolize faster than cheeks) and individual metabolism.
Minimal. Botox uses 30-32G ultra-fine needles (comparable to a mosquito bite). Fillers include topical numbing cream (15-20 min) plus built-in lidocaine. Most patients rate discomfort 2-3 out of 10.
Zero downtime. Tiny injection marks fade within hours. You can resume all normal activities immediately, including flying, working, and socializing. Avoid lying flat for 4 hours and intense exercise for 24 hours.
Minimal. Mild swelling and redness for 1-3 days (lips: up to 5-7 days). Bruising possible (10-30%, resolves in 3-5 days). No bandages, no diet restrictions. You can fly and socialize the same day.
Yes. Many patients combine multiple treatments in a single visit. Popular combinations: glabella Botox + lip filler, masseter Botox + chin filler, cheek filler + nasolabial filler.

Avoid blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E) for 3-5 days. No alcohol for 24 hours. For lip filler: if you have cold sore history, consult about antiviral medication. Arrive with a clean face.

Botox relaxes muscles (smooths wrinkles caused by muscle movement, slims jaw). Fillers add volume (fills lines, augments lips/cheeks/chin). Different mechanism, different uses, often combined for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Botox and fillers benefit adults of all ages. Younger patients (20s-30s) use preventive Botox and subtle filler. Older patients (50s-60s+) use higher doses for wrinkle correction and volume restoration. There is no upper age limit for injectable treatments.
Absolutely. Approximately 25-30% of our injectable patients are male. Techniques are adjusted for masculine facial aesthetics -- maintaining angular jaw structure, avoiding overly arched brows, preserving a natural masculine appearance.

Yes. Send photos and describe your goals via email or WhatsApp, and our doctor can provide a preliminary treatment plan with estimated costs. Final assessment is done in-person.
Botox and fillers are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding as a precaution, even though there is no definitive evidence of harm. We advise waiting until after breastfeeding is complete.
Certain autoimmune conditions may be contraindications. Please disclose your full medical history during consultation. Your doctor will assess whether injectable treatments are appropriate for your specific condition.
Please inform your doctor about any existing filler. If you have unknown or non-HA filler, your doctor may recommend an imaging assessment before additional treatment. HA filler from previous treatments is generally compatible with additional HA filler.
If you have a history of oral herpes (cold sores), your doctor may prescribe antiviral medication (valacyclovir) to take before and after lip filler treatment. This prevents filler injection from triggering a cold sore outbreak.
Botox: avoid vigorous exercise for 24 hours (increased blood flow may disperse the toxin). Fillers: avoid intense exercise for 48 hours (reduces swelling and bruising risk). Light walking is fine for both treatments on the same day.
