Why get wrinkle treatment in Korea?
Korean anti-aging care aims to make you look rested, not altered. Gangnam doctors tend to use smaller doses and combine several gentle treatments rather than relying on a single heavy one. That approach suits wrinkles well, because most faces have more than one kind.
The consultation usually looks at which lines appear only when you move, which stay at rest, where volume has been lost, and how thin or sun-damaged your skin is. Your plan follows from those answers.
Types of wrinkles treated
| Wrinkle type | Examples | Usual first choice |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic | forehead, frown, crow's feet | Botox |
| Static | lines visible at rest | Botox plus boosters or laser |
| Volume-loss folds | nasolabial, marionette | Filler, sometimes lifting |
| Texture wrinkles | crepey cheeks, neck | Boosters, RF, fractional laser |
