K-ClinicKorea Botox & Skin Booster: Check Genuine Dose | PÊCHE
To confirm genuine product and the right dose for Botox or skin boosters in Korea, ask the brand, check the original packaging, confirm the units (U) or cc, and watch the mixing. PÊCHE Dermatology in Gangnam, Seoul has a transparent glass prep room, so you can see the product being prepared.
How Do You Know What Is Actually Being Injected?
To confirm genuine product and dose for Botox or skin boosters in Korea, ask about the brand and dose before the injection, and watch the product being prepared.
International visitors often worry about two things: the brand being swapped for another, and the dose being diluted or reduced. When you don't speak Korean, it can feel awkward to ask. This article uses PÊCHE Dermatology in Gangnam as an example of what you can see and what you can ask.
Glass Prep Room: Watch the Mixing Yourself
PÊCHE Dermatology's treatment prep room is open through transparent glass, so you can see the product being prepared, what is used and how much.
Before treatment, you get a Meta-Vu 3D skin analysis to check your skin condition, and the doctor explains the options before you choose a method. Director Ahn Tae-eon is a board-certified dermatologist.
Which Botox and Skin Booster Brands Does PÊCHE Use?
PÊCHE Dermatology offers four botulinum toxin brands (Nulux, Coretox, Xeomin, Botox) and three skin quality treatments (Rejuran, Juvelook, SkinVive).
Botox is measured in units (U), while skin quality treatments such as Rejuran and Juvelook are measured in cc. Even with the same brand, a different dose gives a different result, so "how many U or cc" matters as much as the brand.
5 Questions to Ask Before Botox or Skin Boosters in Korea
Before the injection, ask about the brand, original packaging, dose, mixing and the injecting doctor. These five questions clear up most uncertainty.
- Brand: Which brand is being used today, and does it match what was discussed in your consultation?
- Original packaging: Ask the staff to show you the product name on the vial or package.
- Dose: How many units (U) or cc for each area?
- Mixing: At PÊCHE, you can watch the preparation through the transparent glass of the prep room.
- Injector: Which doctor will perform the injection?
This checklist is K-Clinic's recommendation. Asking is not rude; knowing what is being used on you is your right as a patient.
