Concerns · Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Why this concern develops
This is general education, not a diagnosis. We assess what applies to you at your consultation.
Repeated expression
Lines that appear when you move, such as frown lines or crow's feet, are linked to years of facial muscle movement.
Loss of collagen and hydration
Drier skin, or skin with less collagen, tends to show fine lines more easily, even without strong expressions.
Sun exposure
Cumulative UV exposure is commonly linked to earlier fine lines and uneven texture.
Volume changes
As facial volume shifts, folds and creases can look deeper, which is why some lines are treated differently from others.
When to consider treatment
- Lines around the eyes, forehead, or between the brows bother you.
- You want a subtle change, not an obviously overdone look.
- Your skin feels dry or crepey, and fine lines look more visible.
- You are unsure whether your lines come from expression or from skin texture.

Frequently asked questions
Will Botox make my face look frozen?
Our Botox page describes dosing based on each person's muscle activity, so expressions keep moving naturally. Dr. Yeom discusses the approach with you at consultation.
What helps fine lines that are not caused by expression?
Lines caused by skin texture are usually approached with hydrating boosters, collagen-focused injections, or energy-based treatments rather than muscle relaxers. A consultation helps tell the difference.
How long do results last?
Botox lists about 3–6 months, depending on the person. Other treatments vary, so see each treatment page.
Is pricing available online?
Yes, for treatments with published prices, including Botox. Our pricing page lists them in KRW and approximate USD. We confirm your exact cost at consultation.
