Crow's feet in Busan Seomyeon, from ₩16,500

What causes crow's feet, when should you treat them, and what does Botox cost in Busan?

Crow's feet are made by the orbicularis oculi, the ring of muscle around the eye, which contracts every time you smile, squint or laugh and folds the thin skin at the outer corner into rays. In the twenties the folds vanish when the face relaxes; by the mid-thirties they begin to stay, because the skin has been folded in the same place tens of thousands of times and has lost the collagen to spring back, and because sun has thinned it. That is the difference between dynamic lines, there only on expression, and static lines, there at rest, and it decides the plan. Dynamic lines want the muscle quietened; static lines want the muscle quietened and the skin rebuilt.

At Boom Dermatology Botox to the crow's feet runs from ₩16,500 per area with the Korean brands to ₩88,000 with the imported ones, dosed to soften the lines while keeping the smile, which is a dose question and the reason it is the doctor's injection. Lines that stay at rest add Juvelook Eye ₩143,000 or Rejuran I to thicken the skin, or eye Oligio ₩495,000 to tighten it; a hood over the outer eye is the eye lifting page. Why eye-area Botox costs less in Korea than you expected, and whether treating early prevents later lines, are the questions below.

Downtime after crow's feet treatment, and flying home

None for Botox; a possible pinprick bruise. Pinpricks for a day or two after a booster. Fly the same evening. Botox shows at three to seven days and peaks at two weeks.

My lines stay even when I am not smiling. Is that different?

Yes: those are static lines, etched into skin that has lost its spring. Botox still helps, because a quiet muscle stops deepening them and the skin slowly recovers, but the skin itself needs rebuilding, with an eye booster course or eye Oligio. At Boom Dermatology static lines get both; dynamic lines get Botox alone.

Am I too young, or too late, for this?

Neither, usually. Treatment makes sense when the lines bother you and have begun to stay, which for most faces is the late twenties to mid-thirties; before that, sunscreen and sunglasses are the treatment. Too late does not exist for the muscle; deeply etched lines simply need the skin treated as well.

Does treating them early actually prevent deeper lines?

Yes, within reason: a line is etched by repetition, and a muscle that folds the skin less often etches it less. Patients who start Botox at the first static lines and keep sunscreen rarely develop the deep rays; patients who start at fifty soften them but do not undo them. Our Seomyeon skin clinic does not sell preventative Botox to a face with no lines.

Why is eye-area Botox cheaper in Korea than I expected?

Korean-made toxins at Korean volumes: Wondertox, Hi-Tox and Coretox are made here, used in enormous numbers and priced per area accordingly, ₩16,500 to ₩55,000. The imported brands, Botox, Dysport and Xeomin, are also on the list at ₩88,000 for patients who want them. The injection is the doctor's either way.

Will Botox change my smile?

Not when dosed to the smile: the pattern is drawn with you smiling and the dose softens the rays while the cheek still lifts. A frozen outer eye with a smile that stops at the mouth is overdosing, which patients at Boom Dermatology in Busan sometimes arrive with from elsewhere and which we avoid by erring low and topping up at two weeks.
