Non Surgical Aesthetic Treatments in Vietnam
Personalized Facial Aesthetic Treatments Without Surgery
Not every aesthetic concern requires surgery.
Non surgical aesthetic treatments may be considered for selected patients who want to address facial lines, volume changes, facial contours, skin concerns or early signs of aging without undergoing an operation.
At Dr. Koko Vietnam, treatment should begin with assessment rather than choosing injections or procedures from a price list.
Treatment suitability, product selection and injection planning are determined by an appropriately qualified medical professional. The Dr. Koko Vietnam international patient team coordinates communication and consultation support.

Quick Answer
Non surgical aesthetic treatments may include options such as:
• Botulinum toxin treatments
• Dermal fillers
• Facial contouring treatments
• Selected skin treatments
• Thread based treatments when appropriate
• Personalized combination treatment
The correct treatment depends on what is causing your concern.
A line caused by muscle movement requires a different approach from volume loss, skin laxity or changes in facial structure.
This is why all treatments require consultation.
What Would You Like to Improve?
You do not need to know which treatment you need before contacting us.
Start with the concern.
Patients may ask about:
• Forehead lines
• Frown lines
• Lines around the eyes
• Facial volume loss
• Cheek definition
• Chin shape
• Jawline definition
• Lip volume or shape
• Facial asymmetry
• Early facial aging
• Skin quality
• Facial proportions
After assessment, the qualified medical professional can explain whether a non surgical treatment may be appropriate.
Botox and Botulinum Toxin Treatments
Botulinum toxin is commonly used for selected facial lines associated with muscle movement.
Depending on the patient's anatomy and treatment goals, consultation may involve areas such as:
• Forehead
• Frown area
• Around the eyes
• Selected lower facial muscles
• Other appropriate treatment areas
The number and location of injection points should be determined individually.
More product does not automatically mean a better result.
The goal is to use an appropriate treatment plan for your anatomy and desired degree of movement.
Forehead Lines
Forehead lines can become more visible with repeated facial movement and aging.
Botulinum toxin may be considered for selected patients, but forehead treatment needs careful planning because eyebrow position and surrounding muscles also influence the result.
The qualified medical professional should assess your facial movement rather than treating every forehead with the same injection pattern.
Frown Lines
Vertical lines between the eyebrows are commonly associated with repeated muscle activity.
Treatment may reduce the appearance of selected dynamic lines by changing muscle activity temporarily.
Your individual anatomy and facial movement determine the treatment plan.
Lines Around the Eyes
Lines around the outer eye area can become more visible when smiling or squinting.
Selected patients may consider botulinum toxin treatment in this area.
Treatment should preserve natural facial expression while addressing the patient's concern.
How Long Does Botox Last?
Botulinum toxin effects are temporary.
Duration varies between patients and can be influenced by the treatment area, dose, individual muscle activity and other factors.
Your qualified medical professional can discuss what may reasonably be expected from your individual treatment.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers can be used to add or restore volume in selected facial areas.
They are not simply used to “fill wrinkles.”
Depending on the product and patient, filler treatment may be considered for:
• Lips
• Chin
• Cheeks
• Selected facial folds
• Facial contouring
• Volume restoration
• Selected asymmetry concerns
The appropriate product, amount and injection technique depend on the treatment area and your anatomy.
Lip Filler
Lip filler can change volume, shape, definition or proportions.
Not every patient wants large lips.
Some patients want subtle hydration and definition. Others want more noticeable volume.
Treatment planning should consider:
• Existing lip shape
• Upper and lower lip proportions
• Facial proportions
• Previous filler
• Desired volume
• Preferred style
Reference photos can help communicate what you like, but another person's lips cannot simply be copied.
Chin Filler
Selected patients may consider chin filler to change projection or improve facial proportions without surgery.
The chin should be assessed in relation to the nose, lips and jawline.
Adding more projection is not automatically appropriate.
The qualified medical professional needs to evaluate your profile and treatment goals first.
Cheek Filler
Cheek filler may be considered when selected patients want additional contour or volume.
The amount and location should be determined according to facial anatomy.
Overfilling can change natural facial proportions, so treatment should be planned conservatively according to the desired result.
Jawline Contouring
Patients asking for a more defined jawline may have very different underlying concerns.
Jawline appearance can be influenced by:
• Bone structure
• Facial fat
• Skin laxity
• Muscle size
• Chin projection
• Facial proportions
For this reason, filler is not automatically the correct treatment for every jawline concern.
An assessment helps determine which option may be appropriate.
Facial Balancing
Sometimes the area a patient initially wants treated is not the only area influencing facial proportions.
For example, chin projection can influence how the nose and jawline appear in profile.
Facial balancing means evaluating the face as a whole rather than treating isolated areas without considering overall proportions.
This does not mean more treatments are necessary.
The objective is to recommend only treatments that have a clear purpose.
Skin Treatments
Patients may also seek non surgical treatments for concerns involving skin quality or visible signs of aging.
The appropriate treatment depends on the actual skin concern.
Consultation should consider factors such as:
• Skin condition
• Texture
• Pigmentation concerns
• Fine lines
• Previous treatments
• Sensitivity
• Medical history
• Desired improvement
Not every skin treatment is appropriate for every skin type.
Thread Lift
Thread based treatments are sometimes marketed as a non surgical alternative to facelift surgery.
However, a thread lift and surgical facelift are not equivalent procedures.
Thread treatments may be considered for selected patients depending on anatomy, degree of tissue laxity and treatment goals.
Patients with more significant facial or neck laxity may need a different approach.
The qualified medical professional should explain the expected limitations before treatment.
Thread Lift vs Facelift
This is an important distinction.
A patient with early facial changes may have very different treatment options from someone with significant jowling, loose facial skin or neck laxity.
A facelift is a surgical procedure that can address deeper facial structures and more extensive aging changes.
A thread based treatment is less invasive but cannot reproduce every result achievable with surgery.
If your main concern is significant lower facial or neck laxity, see our Facelift and Mini Facelift in Vietnam page.
Non Surgical vs Surgical Treatment
Non surgical treatment is not automatically better simply because it avoids surgery.
Surgical treatment is also not automatically necessary.
The right choice depends on:
• Your concern
• Degree of change
• Anatomy
• Desired result
• Medical history
• Recovery preference
• How much correction may reasonably be achieved
A consultation can help determine which category of treatment better matches your goals.
Previous Filler
Tell us if you already have filler.
Useful information includes:
• Treatment area
• Product when known
• Approximate amount
• Date of treatment
• Previous complications
• Whether filler was dissolved
• Any current concerns
Previous filler can affect future treatment planning.
Do I Need My Old Filler Dissolved?
Not automatically.
Whether previous filler should be left in place, assessed further or considered for dissolution depends on the individual situation.
Do not dissolve filler simply because you are considering another treatment.
The qualified medical professional should first understand what product was used, where it was placed and what concern you currently have.
Natural Results
Non surgical aesthetic treatment does not need to make your face look dramatically different.
Many patients want:
• Softer lines
• Subtle volume restoration
• Better facial balance
• More definition
• A refreshed appearance
Tell the qualified medical professional how much change you want.
A conservative plan can often be adjusted over time, while excessive treatment may be more difficult to correct.
More Is Not Always Better
This is especially important with injectable treatments.
More filler does not automatically create better contours.
More botulinum toxin does not automatically create a more attractive result.
Treatment should use an appropriate amount for your anatomy and objective.
The goal should be a considered treatment plan rather than maximizing the number of products or procedures.
Consultation Before Treatment
Every patient begins with an assessment.
Free Online Consultation → Clear Photos & Medical Information → Initial Assessment → Individual Treatment Plan → Individual Quotation → Plan Your Vietnam Visit
Step 1. Tell Us Your Concern
You do not need to choose a treatment from a menu.
Tell us what bothers you.
For example:
“I want my lips slightly fuller.”
“My chin looks weak from the side.”
“I have lines when I smile.”
“My jawline is not defined.”
“My face looks tired.”
“I am considering a facelift but want to know if I have a non surgical option.”
Step 2. Send Clear Photos
For an initial online assessment, we may ask for clear, unfiltered photographs showing:
• Front view
• Left profile
• Right profile
• Left three quarter view
• Right three quarter view
For movement related concerns, additional expression photos may be helpful.
Step 3. Tell Us About Previous Treatments
Tell us about:
• Previous Botox or botulinum toxin
• Previous fillers
• Threads
• Facial surgery
• Skin treatments
• Relevant medical conditions
• Current medications
• Allergies
• Previous complications
Step 4. Receive an Initial Assessment
After reviewing your concerns and information, our team can explain the next step and whether an in person assessment is required before treatment planning.
In Person Facial Assessment
Before injectable treatment, facial anatomy should be assessed directly.
The qualified medical professional may evaluate:
• Facial proportions
• Muscle movement
• Existing volume
• Skin and soft tissues
• Facial symmetry
• Previous treatment areas
• Your preferred result
The final treatment plan is determined after appropriate assessment.
Individual Treatment Plan and Quotation
There is no single quotation appropriate for every non surgical patient.
Your individual treatment may depend on:
• Treatment area
• Product selected
• Amount required
• Number of areas
• Existing filler or previous treatment
• Combination treatment when appropriate
• Individual anatomy
All treatments require consultation because every patient is different.
After assessment, our team can explain the recommended treatment and provide your individual quotation.
What Should I Ask During Consultation?
A good consultation is not only about asking how much treatment costs.
Consider asking:
• What is causing my concern?
• Which treatment do you recommend?
• Why is this treatment appropriate for me?
• What product will be used?
• What result can reasonably be expected?
• What are the important risks?
• How long is recovery?
• Are there alternatives?
• What happens if I do not like the result?
• When should I contact the clinic after treatment?
Understanding the treatment is more important than choosing only by price.
Injectable Treatment Risks
Temporary effects such as swelling, bruising, tenderness or redness can occur after injectable treatments. Less common complications, including vascular complications, depend on the treatment area and product used. Your qualified medical professional will explain the risks relevant to your individual treatment plan before treatment.
Why Facial Anatomy Matters
Injectable treatments should not be treated like ordinary beauty services.
The face contains blood vessels, nerves, muscles and other important anatomical structures.
Reducing avoidable risk requires appropriate anatomical knowledge, product selection and injection technique.
This is another reason treatment should begin with professional assessment rather than simply ordering a number of syringes.
Recovery After Injectable Treatment
Recovery depends on the treatment performed.
Temporary effects may include:
• Swelling
• Bruising
• Redness
• Tenderness
• Small injection marks
Your qualified medical professional will provide instructions according to the specific treatment.
Do not massage, exercise, apply products or follow online aftercare advice unless it is appropriate for the treatment you actually received.
When Will I See the Result?
The timeline depends on the treatment.
Some changes may be visible quickly, while other treatments require time for swelling to settle or the treatment effect to develop.
Ask your qualified medical professional when your individual result should reasonably be assessed.
Can I Have Treatment During My Vietnam Trip?
International visitors may consider non surgical treatment while staying in Ho Chi Minh City.
However, treatment should still be planned around appropriate consultation and recovery rather than squeezed into the final hours before a flight.
Tell our team your travel dates so the treatment schedule can be discussed appropriately.

No.
Start by telling us what you want to improve.
After assessment, the qualified medical professional can explain which treatment may be appropriate.
How Much Botox Do I Need?
There is no standard amount appropriate for every patient.
Treatment depends on the area, facial muscle activity, anatomy and desired result.
How Much Filler Do I Need?
The appropriate amount depends on the treatment area, existing anatomy and your goals.
More filler is not automatically better.
How Much Do Non Surgical Treatments Cost in Vietnam?
There is no single quotation because treatment varies between patients.
After consultation, our team can confirm the recommended treatment and provide your individual quotation.
Is Botox Permanent?
No.
Botulinum toxin treatment has temporary effects.
Duration varies between patients.
Is Filler Permanent?
Different filler products have different characteristics and expected duration.
The qualified medical professional should explain the product proposed for your treatment.
Can I Get Lip Filler and Botox Together?
Selected treatments may sometimes be performed during the same treatment plan.
Whether this is appropriate depends on the areas being treated and individual assessment.
Can Filler Fix My Jawline?
It may help selected patients, but jawline appearance can be influenced by several anatomical factors.
An assessment is necessary before recommending filler.
Should I Get Threads Instead of a Facelift?
It depends on your anatomy and degree of facial aging.
Thread treatments and facelift surgery are not equivalent.
Patients with more significant laxity may require a different treatment approach.
Can I Send Photos Before Coming to the Clinic?
Yes.
You can send clear photos and explain your concerns for an initial online discussion before visiting.
Can I Have Treatment the Same Day as My Consultation?
This depends on the treatment, your medical history, availability and whether the qualified medical professional determines treatment is appropriate.
Do not assume treatment will automatically proceed before assessment.
Can I Fly After Treatment?
Travel planning depends on the treatment performed and your individual circumstances.
Tell our team about your flight schedule before treatment so appropriate advice can be provided.
Start With Your Concern, Not a Treatment Name
You do not need to message us saying:
“I need exactly this amount of Botox.”
or
“I need this many syringes of filler.”
Instead, tell us:
What do you want to improve?
Send clear photos, explain your concern and tell us about previous treatments.
We can then guide you toward the appropriate consultation and treatment planning.
