It’s been 4 months since my 40.10 SGD Korean botox injections in South Korea. Did it work?

You may have come across an article on my first-ever Botox injections at a social media-famous skin clinic in South Korea:

Lienjang.

I took that back in February, so it’s been about 4 months since my initial injections.

I paid 40.10 SGD for Botox injections at a famous skin clinic in South Korea. Here’s my honest review of the process

Today’s post is NOT a review of the process but a review of its effects.

In other words, did it work?

Well, in short, yes, it did.

Just to give you a heads up, I’m a newbie when it comes to Botox, so my review is based on MY personal experience, and it may differ from yours since our bodies are different, yeah?

Anyway, let’s jump right into the results post-Botox injections.

The few hours after my injections, my skin felt tight.

The first night, I woke up in the middle of the night with a pretty heavy forehead, and I could barely move my forehead and its surrounding area.

I also felt a little feverish.

“Woo, it’s working!” I thought.

But after about 3 days, the ‘heaviness’ kinda subsided, and I could move my eyebrows much more freely.

At first, I was a little disappointed because I somehow wanted that tight feeling to linger around for longer.

So I Google-searched, and it seems like it’s normal, and being able to have natural movements around the forehead area is actually a good thing.

In about 5 days, the most noticeable area that was “cleared” of wrinkles was my crow’s feet (the branching wrinkles at the outer corners of my eyes).

I had injections at 3 concern areas anyway: my forehead, crow’s feet, and under-eyes.

I only saw subtle improvements on my forehead and under-eyes in about 7 days.

But fast forward to 14 days post-injections, I could see more improvements, especially after applying makeup.

Just a little FYI, I tend to exercise with my face.

You know the ugly expressions you have when lifting weights?

So after my gym sessions, I always end up with even deeper creased lines (wrinkles) on my face, and that’s one of the reasons why I decided to take on Botox injections for the first time.

But after about 2 weeks post-injections, I noticed a huge improvement in how my face looked after exercising.

Those lines that were bothering me were somehow not as obvious as before.

And my base makeup looked much better throughout the day, too.

So for 40.10 SGD, I think it’s worth a try.

But the positive effects started wearing out in about 2.5 months, and by the time I hit 3.5 months, I knew I had to book another appointment at the skin clinic.

And Lienjang happened to have an ongoing promotion this month (June 2025).

The usual price for Korean Wonder Botox (WonderTox) is 39,000 KRW (before tax) for 3 areas, but it’s 30,000 KRW now on weekdays (Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays)!

30,000 KRW = approx. 29 SGD (at the time of writing)

Just flash this image when you check in for your visit:

30,000 KRW is only for 3 areas btw, but if you have more concern areas, you can add on additional injection points at 15,000 KRW/point.
