Major Injectable Treatment Types

1. Botulinum Toxin Injections

Used to relax specific muscles for cosmetic or medical reasons:

  • Wrinkle smoothing
  • Forehead lines
  • Frown (between eyebrows)
  • Crow’s feet
  • Bunny lines (nose)
  • Expression balance
  • Gummy smile reduction
  • Chin texture smoothing
  • Nose tip relaxation
  • Facial slimming / contour
  • Masseter (jaw) slimming
  • Calf muscle softening
  • Body uses
  • Excessive sweating (underarms, palms)
  • Muscle tension relief (neck/shoulder areas)

Botulinum toxin works by reducing muscle contraction, which softens dynamic lines or reshapes muscle-driven contours.

2. Dermal Fillers

Volume-adding injections that restore or enhance facial shape:

  • Facial contouring
  • Cheek augmentation
  • Tear trough (under-eye)
  • Lip enhancement
  • Chin projection
  • Jawline definition
  • Skin structure support
  • Nasolabial fold correction
  • Marionette line softening
  • Non-surgical nose work
  • Bridge height adjustment
  • Tip support

Fillers are typically based on hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials that add volume and lift at targeted sites.

3. Biostimulatory Injectables

Stimulate your body’s own collagen production for longer-term skin quality improvement:

  • Collagen stimulators used in midface or cheeks
  • Subdermal injections for texture and firmness
  • Injectable treatments that promote structural renewal over months

These aren’t volume fillers per se — they work by encouraging internal support and elasticity.

4. Skin Boosters / Intradermal Boosting

Shallow injections designed to improve skin quality, hydration, and texture:

  • Fine micro-injections beneath the skin
  • Targets dryness, dullness, and tiny lines
  • Often used on face, neck, décolletage, or hands

Results are typically subtle and build over time with a series.

5. Thread-Assisted Injectable Lifts

Though not pure injectables, some injectable threads work by combining volume and support:

  • Threads inserted with fine needles
  • Provides subtle lift and structural support
  • Often combined with other injectables

These are procedural “mix & match” options popular in Seoul aesthetics.

Common Targeted Concerns Treated with Injectables

How to Choose Treatments

Ask Yourself:

  • What’s my primary concern?
  • Wrinkles, volume loss, texture, contour?
  • Do I want a quick fix or longer-lasting change?
  • Do I want subtle natural enhancement or more dramatic contouring?
  • Am I okay with periodic maintenance?

Typical Pairings

Injectables are often combined to enhance overall outcome:

  • Botulinum toxin + dermal filler
  • Filler + biostimulatory agents
  • Skin boosters for texture with volume work
