How often should I repeat it?

The clinic recommends repeat treatment every 3 to 5 months to maintain the result.

Can I have it during a short trip to Seoul?

Yes. It is done in one visit. The muscle starts to reduce about 2 weeks later, so the change shows after you return home.

Per 100 units. An area usually takes 200 to 300 units, set by your doctor after checking the muscle.

Which areas can be treated?

Treatment covers areas where muscles are visibly prominent, such as the trapezius and calves, as well as other areas of concern with high muscle mass, such as the arms and thighs.

What is the typical dose?

It depends on the area, but the average is 200 to 300 units (U). Because the right number of units depends on muscle size, we recommend a personalized consultation at the clinic to measure your muscle mass and set the right dose for you.

Why do my muscles look bigger after treatment?

If you are more active after treatment and use the muscles more, nearby muscles may develop to compensate. This can increase muscle mass or reduce the effect of Botox, so avoid strenuous activity and intense exercise. After calf treatment, avoid high heels, hiking, and climbing stairs for about 2 weeks. After trapezius or arm treatment, avoid carrying heavy items or carrying a bag on one side only for about 2 weeks.
