💬 What Is “Jagalchi Botox”?
Jagalchi Botox (자갈턱 보톡스) is a popular non-surgical treatment in Korea designed to smooth the dimpled or pebbled appearance on the chin — often called the “walnut chin” look.It targets the mentalis muscle, which contracts and creates small wrinkles below the lip when you speak, smile, or pout.
The treatment uses a purified form of botulinum toxin, a safe neurotoxin derived from Clostridium botulinum, to temporarily relax the overactive muscles responsible for those fine chin wrinkles.
Simply put: it turns a “wrinkled chin” into a clean, refined contour — all in under 10 minutes.
💉 How Jagalchi Botox in Korea Works
When injected into the mentalis muscle, the botulinum toxin:
Blocks nerve signals that cause over-contraction
Smooths out surface irregularities and “peach pit” texture
Prevents exaggerated muscle tension when smiling or frowning
This leads to a softer, more even chin shape, while maintaining natural facial expression.
🌸 Why It’s So Popular in Korea
✅ 1️⃣ Fast & Painless
The procedure takes only a few minutes, involves minimal discomfort, and requires no recovery period — ideal for busy professionals.
✅ 2️⃣ Non-Surgical & No Scarring
Because Jagalchi Botox involves simple micro-injections, there’s no incision or scarring, making it perfect for those who prefer a natural, scar-free result.
✅ 3️⃣ Quick Visible Results
Most patients begin to see improvement within 3–5 days, with full smoothing visible in about 1–2 weeks.Results typically last 4–6 months, after which touch-ups can maintain the effect year-round.
✅ 4️⃣ Perfect for Photo-Ready Skin
The treatment gives the chin a camera-ready finish — ideal for anyone with an upcoming event, photoshoot, or travel.
