Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Nabota in Dubai: Korean Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Nabota is a Korean anti-wrinkle injection made by Daewoong Pharmaceutical. Like other botulinum toxin type A products, it relaxes the muscles that cause frown lines and other expression lines, so the skin on top looks smoother. At Yeppeun Skin Clinic in Jumeirah 2, Dubai, our DHA-licensed doctor plans the dose and the injection points around your face.
If you have heard people talk about “Korean Botox”, Nabota is one of the brands they often mean. In the United States, the same toxin is sold under the name Jeuveau. Many people choose it because they like the Korean approach to a soft, natural-looking result.
Key Benefits
- Softer frown lines. The lines between your brows look smoother, so you look less tense.
- A rested, natural look. The aim is a lighter look that still moves when you smile or talk.
- A short appointment. The injections take a few minutes once your plan is agreed.
- Back to your day. Most people return to work straight after.
- A flexible plan. The effect wears off slowly, so you can adjust at each visit.
Who Needs This
Nabota suits adults (18 and over) with lines that show when they move their face, such as frowning or squinting.
It may suit you if:
- frown lines make you look cross or tired
- your lines stay for a while after you stop frowning
- you would like to try a Korean-made anti-wrinkle product
- you want a soft change before a wedding, trip or event (plan 2 to 3 weeks ahead)
Lines that are deep at rest may need extra help from a skin booster or filler as well.
How It Works
Nabota contains prabotulinumtoxinA. When it is injected into a small facial muscle, it blocks the nerve signal that tells that muscle to tighten. The muscle relaxes, so the skin above it folds less and the line softens. Over the next few months, the nerve forms new connections and movement slowly comes back.
Nabota Results: What to Expect
Your Results, Step by Step
This is what usually happens:
- From day 2: some people start to notice a softer frown.
- First weeks: the result keeps building as the muscle relaxes.
- Full result: most people see their full result within the first month. We review you at about 2 weeks.
- Up to about 4 months: the effect then fades slowly as movement returns.
Results vary from person to person. Muscle strength, dose, the area and lifestyle all affect how long they last.

About Nabota
Nabota is made in South Korea by Daewoong Pharmaceutical. Its medicine name is prabotulinumtoxinA. It is one of the anti-wrinkle products our doctor may recommend, alongside Allergan BOTOX®, Xeomin and Botulax. See all of them on our Botox and anti-wrinkle injections page.
Units are not the same between brands, so doses cannot be swapped one-for-one. We use UAE-registered products, and you can ask to see the sealed pack before treatment.
Your Appointment, Step by Step
- Consultation. We talk about your health, medicines and past injections, then watch how your face moves.
- Your plan. We agree the areas and the estimated amount, so you know the cost first.
- Treatment. Your skin is cleansed and the points are marked. Numbing cream is available. The injections take a few minutes.
- Review. We check your result at about 2 weeks.
Possible Side Effects and Risks
Common side effects include headache, tenderness, redness, swelling or bruising at the injection points. Some people get a heavy or drooping eyelid or brow, which is usually temporary.
Rarely, the effect can spread beyond the treated area. Get medical help straight away if you have trouble swallowing, speaking or breathing, changes in your vision, or muscle weakness in the weeks after treatment.
Who Should Not Have It
Nabota is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is not suitable if you have a nerve or muscle condition such as myasthenia gravis, if you have reacted to any botulinum toxin product, or if there is infection where we would inject. Tell us about all your medicines, as some antibiotics, muscle relaxants and blood thinners can change the effect or raise the chance of bruising.
Nabota Planning
Treatment Plans
Many first-time patients start with frown lines. A careful first dose helps us see how your muscles respond, and we fine-tune at your review. Nabota can also be part of a wider plan with skin boosters or lifting treatments.
Number of Sessions
One session gives the result for that cycle. On average, people have about 3 treatments a year to keep their result.
Time Between Sessions
Leave at least 3 months between treatments of the same area. Treating more often does not make the result better.
In Combination With & Alternative Treatments
