Botox Lifting Guide | Non-Surgical Facial Slimming & Skin Tightening

Looking for a subtle lift and smoother skin—without surgery? A Botox lift is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses small doses of botulinum toxin to gently lift the brows, jawline, corners of the mouth, or neck. It’s a popular treatment in Korea and globally for achieving a refreshed, youthful appearance with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.

What Is a Botox Lift?

A Botox lift strategically uses neurotoxin injections (Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport) to relax targeted muscles that pull the face downward. By weakening these muscles, Botox allows the opposing muscles to lift and elevate specific areas of the face or neck.

Unlike traditional Botox that focuses only on wrinkle reduction, Botox lifting also improves:

  • Facial contouring
  • Skin tightening effect
  • Slimmer jawline (when combined with masseter Botox)
  • Neck and jaw rejuvenation (Nefertiti lift)

How Does Botox Lifting Work?

  • Botox temporarily blocks nerve signals to specific muscles.
  • When injected precisely, it reduces the downward pull of facial muscles.
  • This allows elevating muscles to become more prominent, subtly lifting the area.
  • Over time, repeated treatments may improve overall facial balance and tension.

  • Non-surgical and needle-based
  • Quick treatment (10–20 minutes)
