Anti-aging

Botulinum toxin (Botox) is an injectable purified from the neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It relaxes overactive muscles to soften wrinkles — for example, glabellar (frown), forehead, and crow’s-feet lines, as well as jaw (masseter) slimming.

To reduce variability in your Botox results in Haeundae, Busan, the key is site-specific dosing planned by a board-certified dermatologist who understands the underlying muscle anatomy. At Geudaegoun Dermatology Clinic, one minute from Exit 2 of Jangsan Station, your dedicated board-certified dermatologist handles the consultation, the injection, and the follow-up from start to finish. Geudaegoun has been recognized for two consecutive years as a top-tier clinic in the nationwide top 0.3% by the Korea Consumer Industry Evaluation, with a track record of 150,000+ patient visits, an 83.7% return-visit rate, and a 67% referral rate. Our medical team consists of 4 board-certified dermatologists — including a former dermatology professor at Pusan National University Hospital — with clinical appointments as visiting faculty at Severance Hospital and 14 years of clinical experience. Because the effect and duration vary with each person’s muscle condition, we recommend a consultation beforehand.

Hyaluronic acid filler (HA filler) is an injectable in which hyaluronic acid — a substance naturally found in the skin — is formulated as a gel to restore volume. For example, restoring volume in the nasolabial folds, cheeks, and lips.

To achieve natural-looking fillers in Busan, treatment by a board-certified dermatologist who precisely understands vascular and nerve anatomy is recommended (per Korean Dermatological Association guidelines), and at Geudaegoun Dermatology Clinic your dedicated board-certified dermatologist takes responsibility for this. Our medical team consists of 4 board-certified dermatologists — including a former dermatology professor at Pusan National University Hospital — with appointments as visiting faculty at Severance Hospital and fellowship training at Harvard-affiliated institutions (BWH, BIDMC, Thomas Jefferson). After analyzing the three-dimensional balance of the whole face, we plan the filler type, volume, and injection depth — aiming not for simple volume-filling but for natural contour restoration — and we manage complication risks such as vascular compression through precise, anatomy-based injection-layer placement. Choosing the right product for each area — whether HA filler or collagen-stimulating filler — is explained directly by your treating specialist at the first consultation.

Botox (muscle relaxation) and fillers (volume restoration) can be planned together in a single session on the same day, and at Geudaegoun Dermatology Clinic your dedicated board-certified dermatologist plans the sequence and dosing for each area, accounting for how the two interact.

Combination treatment sequence:

For example, applying Botox to frown lines and fillers to sunken cheeks and nasolabial folds in the same session can reduce both the number of visits and the recovery time. Geudaegoun Dermatology Clinic is a Haeundae dermatology practice with a medical team of 4 board-certified dermatologists and 150,000+ patient visits on record; whether a combination treatment is appropriate is decided after an individual consultation based on your skin condition and treatment history.

Juvelook Volume (HA + PLLA hybrid filler) is a combination filler that pairs hyaluronic acid (for immediate volume) with PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid, which stimulates collagen production); it is an MFDS-approved product. For example, restoring volume in the cheeks, temples, and forehead while improving long-term firmness.

The key differences from a standard hyaluronic acid filler are that Juvelook Volume lasts longer and adds the skin’s own collagen-regenerating effect — and Geudaegoun Dermatology Clinic is the only Juvelook Volume Key Doctor clinic in the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam region (with official manufacturer training and certification). Our medical team has the only such record in the region, with 5,000+ treatments performed and a 10,000-vial plaque awarded by the manufacturer.

Whether it is suitable for a given area depends on your individual skin condition, so an in-person consultation is recommended.

Hyaluronidase (filler dissolving injection) is an enzyme preparation that selectively breaks down hyaluronic acid molecules; it is used to correct overcorrection or asymmetry from improperly injected HA filler. For example, correcting unnatural cheeks or nasolabial folds following filler treatment elsewhere.

Filler dissolving injections apply only to hyaluronic acid fillers, and at Geudaegoun Dermatology Clinic your dedicated board-certified dermatologist personally diagnoses and performs the treatment.

Dissolving injection treatment sequence:

Geudaegoun Dermatology Clinic has handled many cases of overcorrected or asymmetric filler done elsewhere, and our medical team of 4 board-certified dermatologists — including a former visiting faculty member at Severance Hospital — treats them based on anatomical precision.

The cost of Botox and fillers at Geudaegoun Dermatology Clinic varies with the area, dose, and the complexity of the treatment plan, and your dedicated board-certified dermatologist gives you the exact unit price and total cost directly at the consultation. We use genuine botulinum toxin preparations (MFDS-approved domestic and international products such as Botox, Meditoxin, and Nabota) and genuine, MFDS-approved certified fillers, and the pricing includes a customized plan by your treating specialist and use of a private 1- or 2-person treatment room. The lowest prices advertised online often differ greatly from the actual in-clinic price, so reviewing the details of the treatment plan matters more than a one-size-fits-all price comparison. For exact costs, we recommend consulting us at 0507-1468-2405 or via our KakaoTalk channel (_HBxdnb).

Botulinum toxin injections generally begin to take effect 3-7 days after treatment, peak at around 2 weeks, and last for about 3-6 months (per Korean Dermatological Association clinical standards).

Stages of onset:

At Geudaegoun Dermatology Clinic, your dedicated board-certified dermatologist personally assesses muscle strength and the wrinkle areas to plan the dose and takes responsibility for confirming your progress — focusing on reducing variability in results. For repeat treatments, the appropriate interval varies with each person’s progress and is decided after a consultation.

After filler treatment, bruising and swelling usually subside within 2-7 days, varying with the injection site, dose, and individual factors (per Korean Dermatological Association post-treatment care guidelines).

Recovery and care stages:

At Geudaegoun Dermatology Clinic, your dedicated board-certified dermatologist plans the injection layer with vascular and nerve anatomy in mind and takes responsibility for confirming your progress, managing variables such as bruising and asymmetry in advance.
