Body Botox in Korea + Laser Hair Removal: Review

Julian booked body Botox and laser hair removal in a single Seoul visit and was honest about how the laser felt. I explain what each treatment does, why they pair well on a trip, what they cost on our list and how to plan the days around them.

I'm Dr. Sarang Lim, head doctor at Muse Clinic Myeongdong, an advisory doctor for Merz, and our clinic is a Cynosure certified laser center. Julian (@julian_woodhouse) came in to do two things in one visit: body Botox and laser hair removal. The question behind Julian's reel is one many visitors have: can I fit both into one stop on a Seoul trip, and what will each actually feel like? For anyone searching body botox korea, the short answer is yes. The two treatments work on different things, take little chair time, and can be done the same day. Below is what each one does, an honest word on the laser sensation, the price list, and how to plan it.

What Julian had: body Botox and laser hair removal

Body Botox relaxes a muscle that has become bulky, so the line over it looks slimmer and smoother. On our list it is used for the trapezius (the slope between neck and shoulder), the calves, the thighs and the arms. Trapezius botox and calf botox are the two areas visitors ask about most. The injection itself takes about 5 to 10 minutes, and we check the genuine product and dose in front of you before we start.

The second treatment was laser hair removal with Apogee+, which uses air cooling while it works. Julian's reel does not say which area was treated, so I won't guess. Women's and men's hair removal are priced on separate lists, area by area. Apogee laser hair removal targets the hair follicle, and it works on hairs that are in their growth phase at the time of the session. That is why most areas are booked as 5 or 10-session packages, not one visit.

Why pair body Botox with laser hair removal on one trip

The two treatments don't overlap. Botox changes the muscle under the skin, and the laser works on the hair follicle. Both are short, and neither leaves you needing to rest before the next part of your day. For visitors with only a few days in Seoul, that makes one combined visit easier than two separate trips across town. If you want the full price logic for each area and how many sessions it realistically takes, I cover it in laser hair removal in Korea. For how Korean Botox pricing works in general, see the Korean Botox price guide.

  • Body Botox: slims bulky muscle in the trapezius, calves, thighs or arms; one short injection visit.
  • Laser hair removal (Apogee+): reduces hair in the chosen area over a series of sessions; each session is short.
  • Together: both can be done in one visit. Hair removal sessions continue on later trips if you are building up a package.

Prices from our current list. Event prices run for a limited period and may change. Hair removal is not available on Sundays.

When comparing body botox price korea quotes, check the number of units and which product is used, not just the headline figure. For hair removal, compare the per-session price inside a package rather than a single session.

The visit, the sensation, and the weeks after

  1. 01One-to-one consultation to agree the Botox area and the hair removal area.
  2. 02Body Botox: ice roller, product and dose checked in front of you, then the injections (about 5 to 10 minutes).
  3. 03Laser hair removal: the area is prepared and the Apogee+ laser is passed over it with air cooling.
  4. 04Soothing care, and you head back out into Myeongdong.

On laser hair removal pain: Julian described it honestly, a sting that faded quickly, with no burn or follow-on issues afterwards. Laser hair removal is not a sensation-free treatment, so expect some discomfort during the pulses. Some redness in the treated area for a short time afterwards is common. For body Botox, the effect starts roughly a month after the injection and usually lasts about three months. Results and how long they last vary from person to person.

Booking laser hair removal in Seoul with body Botox

We are a one-minute walk from Myeongdong Station Exit 5, open Monday to Friday 10:00–20:00 and Saturday to Sunday 09:00–15:00. One detail matters for laser hair removal seoul bookings: we do not run hair removal on Sundays, so plan the combined visit for a weekday or a Saturday. English, Japanese and Chinese interpreters stay with you from consultation through treatment; what that looks like is in English-speaking dermatologist in Seoul.

Is this for you?

Who this treatment suits

  • Your trapezius, calves, thighs or arms look bulky because of muscle, and you want a slimmer line
  • You want to start laser hair removal and are happy to build up sessions over more than one visit
  • You are in Seoul for a few days and want two short treatments in one stop
  • You prefer a gradual change over a dramatic one

When I would not recommend it: If the fullness in an area is mostly fat rather than muscle, body Botox alone will feel underwhelming, and I would talk you through other options. Laser hair removal is not the right booking if you need it done on a Sunday, and we hold off on any treatment over an area with an active skin infection. Body Botox is not given during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Julian was honest about the laser, and I appreciate that. Tell us which areas you have in mind before you book, and I will tell you what is realistic for one trip and what needs follow-up sessions.

Questions people ask

Before you message us

Can I do body Botox and laser hair removal on the same day?

Yes. They work on different things: Botox on the muscle, the laser on the hair follicle. Julian had both in one visit. We plan the order and areas with you at the consultation.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Expect some discomfort. Julian described it as a bee sting that faded quickly, which is a common description. Apogee+ uses air cooling, numbing cream is something you can ask about when you book, and you can ask for a pause during the session.

When will I see results from body Botox?

The effect starts roughly a month after the injection and usually lasts about three months. Results and how long they last vary from person to person.

How much is body Botox in Korea at Muse Clinic?

Body Botox starts from ₩45,000 (excl. VAT), with other unit counts and products on the price list above. Visitors from abroad pay the same list price as Korean patients.

How many laser hair removal sessions do I need?

The laser works on hairs in their growth phase at the time of each session, so most areas need a series of sessions. That is why most areas are sold as 5 and 10-session packages. We do not run hair removal on Sundays.

Results and maintenance period vary by individual. Every procedure carries the possibility of side effects, which are explained before you agree to treatment. Prices exclude 10% VAT and event prices may change. This article is general information from the clinic and is not a diagnosis; suitability is decided at the consultation.
