Model Lee Hyunyi (이현이) candidly shared her struggles, calling aging the 'biggest, insurmountable challenge,' only to then make a comeback with 'age-defying visuals' (역주행 비주얼). Ahead of an upcoming fashion show, she took the plunge with neck wrinkle treatment and Botox, surprising fans with her dramatically transformed appearance. Was her choice truly a 'stroke of genius'?
In a recent video released on her YouTube channel, 'Working Mom Lee Hyunyi,' Lee Hyunyi openly revealed her realistic aging concerns as a 44-year-old working mother. Among various changes like hair loss, gray hair, and decreased skin elasticity, she identified neck wrinkles as her 'biggest challenge.' According to a Sports Chosun report, she began urgent management a month before a fashion show, announcing dermatological treatments for neck wrinkles and skin elasticity. This goes beyond simple beauty care, demonstrating her strong commitment to self-management as a professional.

Analyzing Lee Hyunyi's Treatment Choices from a K-Beauty Perspective
The neck wrinkle treatment and Botulinum Toxin (Botox) chosen by Lee Hyunyi are representative anti-aging management methods that can deliver noticeable wrinkle improvement effects in a short period. The neck, in particular, has thinner skin and fewer sebaceous glands than the face, making it prone to wrinkles, and there's a strong belief that once formed, these wrinkles are difficult to improve with home care alone. In this regard, Lee Hyunyi's statement about 'regular dermatological management' is interpreted as a wise choice.
Botulinum Toxin works by inhibiting the secretion of neurotransmitters, temporarily paralyzing muscle movement, thereby alleviating skin wrinkles. While primarily effective for facial expression lines, it can also be applied to horizontal neck wrinkles or vertical bands, contributing to a smoother neckline. Botulinum Toxin is classified as a 'pharmaceutical' requiring administration by a qualified medical professional, not a cosmetic ingredient safety grade (e.g., EWG). Therefore, before treatment, it is essential to have a thorough consultation with an experienced medical professional to determine the appropriate dosage and areas for individual conditions. Excessive or improper treatment can lead to side effects such as unnatural expressions or restricted neck movement.
