Quick answer · What is Smile Line Botox?
Smile line Botox softens movement-driven wrinkles around the mouth. Small, controlled doses of botulinum toxin are placed in muscles such as the depressor anguli oris and the outer orbicularis oris, reducing the creasing and downward pull at the mouth corners. It is not a filler for deep nasolabial folds. Treatment takes 10–15 minutes with no downtime; the effect is complete in about two weeks and typically lasts 3–4 months.

How it works
Calming the creases, keeping the smile
The muscles around the mouth move constantly as you talk, eat and smile, and strong activity can etch fine lines and pull the corners down. Botulinum toxin lowers this activity slightly so the skin creases less. Because the area is so mobile, doses are deliberately small to protect speech and smiling.
-
Line assessment
Your doctor checks whether your lines come from muscle movement, volume loss or both, and which muscles are involved.
-
Micro-doses
Tiny amounts are placed at selected points around the mouth corners and lip border with a very fine needle.
-
Softening
Lines ease over a few days to two weeks, when a review checks that movement looks natural.
Before & after

FAQ
Smile Line Botox questions we hear every day
Does smile line Botox hurt?
Most patients feel only brief pinches. The lip area is a little sensitive, so ice can be used first.
Will it help my nasolabial folds?
Usually not much. The folds from nose to mouth mostly come from volume and support changes, so nasolabial fold fillers are generally more effective there.
Will it change how I smile or talk?
Doses are kept very small to preserve normal movement. Some patients feel slight lip tightness for a few days while they adjust.
When will I see results?
The effect usually begins in 3–7 days and is complete at about two weeks. Results typically last three to four months.
Can I treat the lines around my eyes too?
Yes. Smile lines at the outer eyes are crow's feet and are often treated in the same visit with separate dosing.
How much does smile line Botox cost in Myeongdong?
Price for smile line Botox depends on the dose and any areas treated together. The same price list applies to every nationality and is given to you in writing before treatment. See our filler and botox price list.
