From Botox product, genuine product and exact dose information to square jaw, anesthesia, and board-certified specialists, see how five clinics differ for your situation.

How to ChooseBy Gangnam Beauty Check Editorial TeamPublished Updated

Key Summary

For Botox in Apgujeong, it is better to choose a dermatology clinic by whether the doctor performs the procedure personally, whether the dose is set after looking at your facial muscles and expressions, and whether the clinic explains the genuine product and exact dose, rather than by the lowest price. We introduce five clinics with Botox information on their official websites, along with questions to ask at the consultation for each area.

If you want a clinic that is transparent about genuine products and exact doses, we recommend BLS Clinic Apgujeong.

The clinic introduces 4 domestic and 3 imported botulinum toxins with the duration of each, and says every procedure uses a genuine product that went through the official import process, injected at the exact dose. It describes topical anesthetic cream and anesthetic spray, and is open until 20:00 on Mondays and Thursdays and until 16:00 on Saturdays.

If you want a clinic that designs skin Botox and area-specific Botox to fit your goal, we recommend Dicarat Clinic Sinsa Main Branch.

The clinic divides Botox into a menu of 14 areas and purposes, and explains the procedure time, anesthesia method, and duration for square jaw, wrinkles, skin Botox, and body. It is open until 20:00 on weekdays and until 16:00 on Saturdays.

If you want a clinic where the director consults and performs the procedure personally, we recommend Layer Clinic.

The clinic says Chief Director Park Si-jin handles every consultation and procedure personally, and its director's column explains a case from a published paper in which the jawline sagged after jaw Botox and the items to check before the procedure. It is a 1-minute walk from Exit 5 of Apgujeong Station and is open until 20:00 on Fridays.

If you want to be treated by a board-certified dermatologist, we recommend Ruby Dermatology Clinic Sinsa.

The medical staff page on the website lists Chief Director Kim Jae-won as a board-certified dermatologist, and the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) also has 1 board-certified dermatologist on file. The clinic says the director takes part in every procedure starting from the consultation, and it is open until 20:30 on Mondays.

If you want your square jaw muscle development evaluated first, we recommend Be & Me Clinic Apgujeong.

Its FAQ distinguishes between a square jaw with developed masticatory muscles and one with developed bone, and explains that an interval of 3 to 6 months is recommended to avoid tolerance. It is close to Exit 6 of Apgujeong Rodeo Station and is open until 20:00 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

What Are the 15 Public-Information Checks?

We looked at doctors, procedures, consultations, precautions and aftercare, and costs: three points in each of five categories, for 15 in all.

The clinic sections below show what each clinic says and the specialist information registered with HIRA. Their order is not a ranking of scores, medical skill, or outcomes.

What Should You Check Before the Type of Botox?

We compared the Botox clinics on the four criteria below. Using what the clinics published on their official websites, we checked whether the director performs the procedure personally, whether the dose is set by looking at muscles and expressions, whether the clinic explains the genuine product, exact dose, and product name, and whether the responsible doctor is a board-certified specialist.

The five clinics are introduced in order of their 15-criteria score, from highest to lowest, with ties placed in alphabetical (Korean) order.

CriterionWhy this criterion mattersClinics with published information
Whether the director performs the procedure personallyDose design and explanations differ depending on whether one person handles everything from consultation to procedureLayer Clinic (Chief Director Park Si-jin handles every consultation and procedure personally), Ruby Dermatology Clinic Sinsa (the director takes part in every procedure starting from the consultation)

Whether the clinic explains the genuine product, exact dose, and product nameEffect and cost vary with the product and the units administeredBLS Clinic Apgujeong (exact-dose procedures with genuine products that went through the official import process, introduces domestic and imported products), Dicarat Clinic Sinsa Main Branch (publishes prices by product), Layer Clinic (explains Coretox and Xeomin)
Whether the responsible doctor is a board-certified specialistBoard-certification status and specialty are items to check together at the consultationRuby Dermatology Clinic Sinsa (board-certified dermatologist on both the website and HIRA), BLS Clinic Apgujeong and Be & Me Clinic Apgujeong (1 board-certified family medicine specialist on HIRA)

How Should You Read the Reviews?

A larger review count does not mean better Botox treatment. Look for experiences that matter to you, such as the consultation, the explanation of anesthesia, and waiting time.

Distinguish reviews about the clinic as a whole from reviews by people who actually had Botox. One review cannot predict your result.

Gangnam Unni and Babitalk figures cover the whole clinic, not Botox alone. Platform figures are as of October 14, 2026.

At the First Consultation, How Do You Ask About the Product Name, Dose, Responsible Doctor, and Side Effect Response?

Each clinic explains a different range, so we recommend asking 2 or 3 clinics the same questions in the same order. The 8 questions below are what to ask at the consultation.

QuestionReason
Which botulinum toxin product do you use?Duration and price vary by product. BLS Clinic Apgujeong explains 4 domestic and 3 imported products on its website, and Layer Clinic explains Coretox and Xeomin, so for the other clinics, ask for the product name at the consultation
How many units will actually be used in the procedure?Units vary with muscle size and area. BLS Clinic Apgujeong and Dicarat Clinic Sinsa Main Branch say they recommend a dose after assessing your condition and muscle size at an in-person consultation, and since prices are starting amounts by area, the total varies with the actual units
Will the director perform the procedure, and can I choose who performs it?Layer Clinic says Chief Director Park Si-jin handles every consultation and procedure personally, and Ruby Dermatology Clinic Sinsa says the director takes part in every procedure from consultation to procedure
How can I check the genuine product and exact dose?BLS Clinic Apgujeong says it injects genuine products that went through the official import process at the exact dose. For the other clinics, first ask for the product name and the units used at the consultation

Whom do I contact if there is a problem after the procedure?BLS Clinic Apgujeong tells you to contact the clinic if signs of inflammation appear, such as severe itching or persistent redness. For the other clinics, ask at the consultation how to contact them and what a revisit costs
Do they also explain the possibility of sagging or hollow cheeks for square jaw?Layer Clinic explains in its director's column the case of sagging after jaw Botox and the check of skin elasticity, masseter size, and existing sagging, and Be & Me Clinic Apgujeong separates muscle-type and bone-type square jaw

Who is square jaw Botox right for?

Be & Me Clinic Apgujeong recommends it for a muscle-type square jaw with developed masticatory muscles, and explains that when the bone is developed, osteotomy must be done alongside. BLS Clinic Apgujeong and Dicarat Clinic Sinsa Main Branch describe who it is recommended for and the procedure process on their square jaw product pages, and Layer Clinic explains in its director's column that it looks at skin elasticity, masseter size, and existing sagging together before deciding on the procedure, and does not decide just because someone has a square jaw.

How can you check the genuine product and exact dose of Botox?

BLS Clinic Apgujeong states on every procedure page that even a single vial is a genuine product that went through the official import process, injected at the exact dose. For the other clinics, first ask at the consultation for the product name and the units actually used. Units vary with the treated area and muscle size, so BLS Clinic Apgujeong and Dicarat Clinic Sinsa Main Branch say they recommend a dose at an in-person consultation.

What standard was used to pick the review sentences in the clinic introductions?

We quote only sentences about consultation, explanation, anesthesia, and waiting, exactly as written, from the original text of Naver visitor reviews and Google Maps reviews. We do not pick sentences that talk about procedure effects or that evaluate other clinics, and we keep emoticons and laughter marks as written. A review is one user's experience, not proof that the clinic's information is true.

Is a clinic with more reviews a better clinic?

Having many reviews does not mean a clinic performs procedures better. Review counts vary with clinic size, years in operation, and how the platform is used, and the procedures each clinic handles also differ. BLS Clinic Apgujeong has 437 visitor reviews and 6,954 blog reviews, and Ruby Dermatology Clinic Sinsa has 261 visitor reviews and 2,123 blog reviews, so they are hard to compare using the same numbers. This article did not include reviews or ratings in its selection criteria.

Do the 15 public-information checks measure a clinic’s medical skill?

No. They organize the public information on doctors, procedures, consultations, aftercare, and costs. Neither the order of clinics nor these checks measures medical skill or treatment outcomes.

What should you check before a Botox consultation?

It is better to first check the product name, the actual units administered, the responsible doctor, the total cost, and how to contact the clinic if a problem occurs. Also ask whether, for square jaw, they explain the possibility of sagging or hollow cheeks, and whether, for the forehead and eye area, they explain cases where the eyebrows and eyelids may feel heavy. Each clinic explains a different range, so asking 2 or 3 clinics the same questions in the same order makes comparison easier.
