Soft edges,
smooth skin,
natural expression.
The world's most-performed cosmetic treatment, done precisely. Botox relaxes the facial muscles that cause forehead lines, glabella (11s), crow's feet, and bunny lines — without freezing your expression.
At a glance.
A five-minute treatment that lets your face move without moving wrong.
Wrinkle botox(anti-wrinkle injection) temporarily relaxes the small facial muscles responsible for expression lines — horizontal forehead creases, the vertical 11s between your brows (glabella), crow's feet at the outer eye corners, and bunny lines across the nose. The aesthetic goal at JRYN is natural movement: wrinkles reduced, not eliminated. We offer 4 brand options starting at just ₩10,000 per area.
The science
,
simplified.
Understanding the mechanism helps you set realistic expectations and choose the right brand for your goals.
Understanding expression lines
Every time you raise your eyebrows, frown, or squint, your facial muscles contract and fold the overlying skin. Over years, these folds become permanent creases — even when your face is at rest.
Targeted muscle relaxation
Botox temporarily blocks the nerve signal to specific small facial muscles. Dr. Lee injects precise doses (a few units at each point) to selectively weaken — not paralyze — the target muscle.
Wrinkles smooth, movement preserved
Within 3–7 days, the treated muscle relaxes, and the overlying skin smooths. At JRYN, we dose conservatively so you can still raise your brows, express emotion, and look like yourself.
Effect gradually wears off
Over 3–4 months, the nerve signal restores and muscle activity returns. Wrinkles gradually reappear. Regular treatments (every 3–4 months) keep the skin smooth and can prevent new deep lines from forming.
Where we inject
,
and why.
Each area has its own anatomical target, typical dose, and result timeline. Dr. Lee will recommend a personalized plan during consultation.
| Area | Concern Treated | Typical Dose | Results In |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forehead (Frontalis) | Horizontal creases when raising eyebrows | 8–15u | 3–7 days |
| Glabella (11 lines) | Vertical frown lines between brows | 15–25u | 3–5 days |
| Crow's Feet | Fine lines at outer eye corners | 6–12u per side | 3–7 days |
| Bunny Lines | Horizontal wrinkles on nose bridge | 4–8u | 3–5 days |
| Lip Lines | Fine vertical lines above upper lip | 2–4u | 5–7 days |
| Chin Dimples | Pebbled 'orange peel' texture on chin | 4–6u | 5–7 days |
