Relax the muscle, soften the line.
Botulinum toxin ('Botox') temporarily relaxes a targeted muscle — smoothing expression lines, slimming a strong jaw or calf, easing a gummy smile, or reducing sweating. It's a quick, no-downtime treatment, and at ARTNER you can choose from domestic to premium imported brands.
One tool, many uses.
Botulinum toxin does one thing — it relaxes the muscle it's injected into — but that single action solves a surprising range of concerns. Relax the frown muscles and expression lines soften; relax the jaw muscle and a square face slims; relax the calf or trapezius and the line refines; calm the sweat glands and sweating drops.
At ARTNER you choose the brand that fits your goal and budget — a quality domestic toxin, Coretox (a premium domestic), or Xeomin (a purified German toxin) — across face and body uses. It's quick, needs no downtime, and lasts a few months, so it's easily maintained. Dr. Pyeon doses conservatively for a natural, un-frozen result.
By use and brand.
Price depends on the area and the brand of toxin. All wear off over a few months, so it's easily adjusted. The right brand and dose are set at consultation.

What a session looks like.
Simple, supervised, and planned around your goal.
Consult & assess
We check the muscle and your goal, and choose the brand, dose and exact points.
Cleanse
The area is cleansed; no anaesthetic is usually needed for the fine injections.
Inject
A few quick, precise injections relax the target muscle — the session takes minutes.
Go
You leave straight away; the effect appears over the next several days.
Quiet the muscle signal.
Botulinum toxin works by temporarily blocking the nerve signal that tells a muscle to contract. Injected into a specific muscle, it lets that muscle relax — so the dynamic wrinkle it was creasing softens, or the bulky muscle it was building (like the jaw's masseter or the calf) gradually slims as it rests.
It's precise and temporary: only the injected muscle is affected, and the effect wears off over three to four months as nerve signalling returns. That temporariness is a feature — it's easy to adjust, and a conservative dose keeps expressions natural rather than frozen.
Domestic to premium, your call.
ARTNER offers botulinum toxin across grades: a quality domestic option for value, Coretox as a premium domestic, and Xeomin — a highly purified German toxin favoured for a clean, predictable result. All are genuine, physician-administered products.
What matters as much as the brand is the dose and the points. Dr. Pyeon doses conservatively and places precisely for a natural, un-frozen look — and will talk you out of over-treating.
Who it suits — and who we discuss further.
A good fit if you…
- Have expression lines you'd like softened
- Want a slimmer jaw, calf or trapezius line
- Have a gummy smile or excessive sweating

We'll talk it through if you…
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding (please wait)

What recovery looks like
- No downtime — return straight to your day
- Tiny injection marks fade within an hour or two
- Avoid rubbing the area and lying down flat for a few hours
- Effect appears over 3–7 days and peaks around 2 weeks
Good to know
- Effect is temporary — typically 3–4 months
- Muscle-slimming (jaw, calf) builds over a few weeks as the muscle rests
- Conservative dosing keeps expressions natural
- We plan the plan around your travel
The result is half treatment, half aftercare.
A good outcome isn't only the session — it's how botox is planned and supported around it. ARTNER runs a 2:1 intensive care system: dedicated attention, not a treatment and a goodbye at the door.
Aftercare uses medical devices, not just advice. ARTNER runs Accent Prime by ALMA (Israel) and matching protocols, and Dr. Pyeon is a clinical advisor to Accent Prime in Korea — so your plan is guided by someone who helps train other clinics on the technology.

Risks, and how we lower them.
Every medical treatment carries some risk. For botox, expect temporary redness, warmth, mild swelling or small bruising; less commonly, uneven results or sensitivity. Results build gradually and are not permanent — a course and periodic maintenance keep them.
ARTNER lowers risk deliberately: an internal-medicine specialist screens you first, settings are matched to your skin and goals, and we'll honestly say when a treatment won't give the result you want — or when a different one fits better.
Natural means you still move.
Good botox is invisible — lines soften but your face still moves. Frozen foreheads are a dosing failure, not a goal. I use the least that works, and I'll happily talk you out of more.

Not with conservative dosing — the aim is softened lines with natural movement. A frozen look comes from over-dosing, which we deliberately avoid; we use the least that works.
