Wrinkles & Fine Lines: Options by Type
Yaan Clinic · Gangnam, Seoul
Wrinkles and fine lines have different causes, so they need different treatments. At Yaan Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, doctors match expression lines to Xeomin Botox, deep folds to filler, crepey fine lines to skin boosters such as Rejuran and Juvelook, and laxity lines to Sofwave or Thermage FLX, after a 3D Meta-Vu skin analysis.

Wrinkles and fine lines are creases in the skin caused by repeated muscle movement, thinning collagen, sun damage and loss of volume. At Yaan Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, wrinkle treatment starts by identifying which type of line you have, because a frown line, a crepey fine line and a deep fold each respond to a different treatment.
This guide sorts wrinkles by type, compares the matching treatments at Yaan Clinic, and explains how to plan them during a visit to Korea.
What types of wrinkles are there?
Most facial lines fall into three groups: dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement, static wrinkles that stay visible at rest, and folds caused by volume loss or sagging. Fine crepey lines from dryness and sun damage form a fourth, skin-quality group.
- Dynamic (expression) lines – forehead lines, frown lines between the brows and crow's feet that appear when you move.
- Static lines – the same lines once they are etched in and visible at rest.
- Volume and sagging folds – smile lines (nasolabial folds), marionette lines and deep under-eye grooves.
- Fine, crepey lines – thin lines from dehydration, sun exposure and collagen loss, often around the eyes, cheeks and neck.
Which treatment works for which type of wrinkle?
As a rule, Botox relaxes dynamic lines, fillers fill folds caused by volume loss, collagen stimulators and skin boosters improve fine lines and skin quality, and lifting devices soften lines caused by laxity. Your doctor will confirm the best match at consultation.
| Wrinkle type | Main treatment at Yaan | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Forehead, frown lines, crow's feet | Botox (Xeomin) | Relaxes the muscles that crease the skin |
| Fine lines, rough texture, small pores | Skin Botox | Superficial micro-injections across the face for texture and elasticity |
| Deep smile lines, hollows, static folds | Dermal filler or Skin Plus-Hyal | Restores volume under the crease |
| Fine lines with thin, dry skin | Rejuran Healer, Juvelook, Re2O Cell | Skin boosters that support regeneration and collagen |
| Lines from laxity and early sagging | Sofwave, Thermage FLX | Heat-based collagen remodeling and tightening |
| Lines with texture or scarring | Potenza RF microneedling | RF delivered at 0.5–4.0 mm depth to stimulate collagen |
| Gradual volume loss behind lines | Sculptra | PLLA collagen stimulator, results described as lasting about 2 years |
Should I choose Botox or filler for wrinkles?
Choose Botox for lines that come from movement and filler for lines that come from lost volume. Many people need both, and Yaan Clinic notes that Botox and filler can be combined in the same visit.
Yaan Clinic uses Xeomin by MERZ (Germany) and is an Official Key Doctor clinic for MERZ. For fillers, Yaan names Bellast, Restylane, Juvederm and Skin Plus-Hyal, injected with blunt cannulas and an infrared vein finder to reduce bruising. Yaan's doctors are official key doctors for Restylane and Radiesse.
What is the best treatment for fine lines around the eyes?
Fine lines around the eyes usually respond to a combination of Botox for crow's feet and a skin-quality treatment for thin, crepey skin. Yaan offers Juvelook Eye, Eye Rejuran and a Thermage FLX eye tip for this area.
For under-eye hollows and dark circles, see our separate under-eye hollows guide.
Do lifting devices help wrinkles?
Yes, for lines linked to loose skin. Devices such as Sofwave, which targets the mid-dermis at 1.5 mm, and Thermage FLX, which heats the deep dermis, stimulate new collagen so fine lines soften gradually over months.
They are not a substitute for Botox on strong expression lines. Compare options on our skin tightening page, and if your lines come mainly from drooping, read the sagging skin and jowls guide.
What combinations does Yaan Clinic suggest?
Layered plans often work best: relax movement, restore volume, then improve the skin surface. Yaan Clinic's published packages reflect this approach.
- VIP Collagen Package – Meta-Vu, Skinvive 2 cc, Eye Rejuran 2 cc, one Re2O session, Skin Botox (Xeomin) and AirNox, listed at 2,300,000 KRW (excl. VAT).
- Ultimate Sofwave Package – Meta-Vu, Sofwave 200 pulses, TuneFace 40kJ, Rejuran Healer 2 cc and LDM, listed at 3,100,000 KRW (excl. VAT).
- Botox plus filler – a single visit for expression lines and deep folds.
Good to know: Results vary from person to person. Stopping Botox does not make wrinkles worse than before treatment; muscles simply return to their usual activity.

How should I time wrinkle treatment on a trip to Korea?
Botox and skin boosters fit easily into a short trip because recovery is usually quick. Yaan recommends scheduling filler two to three weeks before a major event, so plan injectables early if you have a wedding or photos coming up.
For international patients: Botox typically takes several days to show its full effect, so book it at the start of your stay if you want to see results before flying home. English and Chinese interpreters are available; read the downtime and flying home guide for timing tips.

Frequently asked questions
What is the most effective treatment for forehead wrinkles?
Forehead lines that appear when you raise your brows are usually treated with Botox, which relaxes the muscle. Lines that remain at rest may also need a skin booster or a small amount of filler. Yaan Clinic uses Xeomin by MERZ and plans dosage after analyzing your expressions.
Can fine lines be treated without injections?
Yes. Energy devices such as Sofwave, Thermage FLX and Potenza RF microneedling stimulate collagen without injectables, and HydraFacial improves hydration. Injectable boosters often act faster on very thin skin, so your doctor may suggest a combination.
Is preventive Botox worthwhile in my 20s or 30s?
Yaan Clinic states preventive Botox is possible for people whose expression lines are starting to form. The decision depends on how strongly your muscles move and how your skin is ageing, not age alone. Your doctor will advise at consultation.
How long does Botox last for wrinkles?
Botox typically lasts around three to four months for expression lines, though this varies with dose, muscle strength and metabolism. Yaan Clinic does not publish a fixed duration, so your doctor will confirm what to expect for your plan.
Can I have Botox and filler on the same day?
Yes. Yaan Clinic notes that Botox and filler can be combined in the same visit, which suits international patients on a short trip. Your doctor will plan the sequence and areas so the two treatments complement each other.
How much is wrinkle treatment at Yaan Clinic?
At Yaan Clinic, wrinkle Botox is ₩100,000 (Xeomin) or ₩160,000 (Allergan), filler starts at ₩290,000 per cc and Rejuran Healer 2cc is ₩350,000. The VIP Collagen Package is 2,300,000 KRW (excluding VAT). International patients pay the same price, and the final price is confirmed at consultation.
