Korea has become one of the world’s top destinations for medical aesthetics. Among the wide range of procedures available, Jaw (Masseter) Botox is one of the most requested treatments by both locals and international patients. If you are planning a trip to Seoul and considering aesthetic care, here is everything you need to know.

What is Jaw (Masseter) Botox?

Jaw Botox involves injecting botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles (the chewing muscles on either side of the jaw). By reducing the activity of these muscles, the treatment can make the jawline appear slimmer and softer.

This procedure is particularly popular in Korea for creating a more balanced, V-shaped facial contour, without surgery or downtime.

Why Is It So Popular in Korea?

Quick procedure: Takes about 10–15 minutes.
Minimal downtime: Most patients can return to daily activities right away.
Customizable: Both Korean and imported brands of botulinum toxin are available, such as Liztox, Coretox, Xeomin, Allergan, and Dysport.
High demand: Locals and medical tourists choose Jaw Botox as an affordable, effective introduction to Korean aesthetic care.

Treatment Process

Consultation with a doctor to evaluate jaw muscle size and treatment goals.
Injection of botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles.
Post-care guidance: Avoid alcohol, smoking, strenuous exercise, and saunas for a few days.

Jaw Botox Price in Korea

When Do Results Appear?

Subtle changes usually begin in 1–2 weeks.
Results last about 4–6 months, depending on the individual.
With repeated treatments, the masseter muscles may gradually shrink, leading to longer-lasting results.

Is It Safe?

Jaw Botox is considered safe when performed by a qualified doctor. Temporary side effects such as mild swelling or soreness can occur but usually subside within a few days. Always seek treatment at a licensed clinic with certified professionals.

Who Is It Recommended For?

Those with developed jaw muscles that make the face look wide.
People who grind their teeth or clench their jaw frequently.
Visitors seeking a simple, non-surgical way to refine their facial contour.

Travel-Friendly Procedure

Because the downtime is minimal, many international patients combine Jaw Botox with sightseeing. You can safely enjoy your trip while following aftercare advice—just avoid public pools, saunas, and intense exercise during the first week.
