Botulinum toxin (Lienjang Tox)
Relaxes the muscles behind wrinkles and a wide jaw
In short
At Lienjang, botulinum toxin is injected in small doses into specific muscles to soften forehead, glabella and crow's-feet lines, or to slim a masseter jaw and calves. The session takes about 10–15 minutes, the effect becomes clear in the second week and typically holds for four to six months depending on the area and dose.
- Session time
- About 10–15 minutes
- Downtime
- No downtime; small needle marks possible
- Result & repeat
- Visible from week two; repeat every 4–6 months
How it works
The toxin temporarily blocks the nerve signal that tells a muscle to contract. With the muscle at rest, dynamic lines soften, and bulky muscles such as the masseter gradually reduce in size because they are used less.
What the clinic highlights
- Injection points are mapped to how each patient's muscles actually move, not a one-size template.
- Used for facial lines as well as a wide jaw, calves and shoulders.
- No downtime — you can return to work or sightseeing straight away.
Who it suits
- Forehead, glabella or crow's-feet lines that appear with expression
- Want a slimmer jawline without surgery

Aftercare
- Avoid lying flat or massaging the area for about four hours.
- Skip sauna, heavy exercise and alcohol on the first day.
FAQ
Is Korean botox different from what I get at home?
The drug is the same botulinum toxin. What differs is the mapping and dose per point — Korean clinics typically use more, smaller points so expression stays natural.
How many jaw sessions before the face looks slimmer?
Masseter muscle needs time to shrink: most people notice a change at 4–6 weeks, with a clearer result after two or three consecutive rounds.
Can it be combined with other treatments the same day?
Often yes — for example a lifting laser followed by toxin — but the order and spacing should be decided by the doctor on the day.
