Skin Botox

Skin Botox is a shallow dermal injection that improves skin texture, tightens pores, and smooths fine lines while keeping your facial expressions completely natural.

Skin Botox

What is Skin Botox?

Botox that improves skin texture, pores, and fine lines simultaneously

Unlike standard facial muscle Botox, Skin Botox is a procedure where diluted Botox is injected shallowly into the **superficial dermal layer** rather than deep into the muscle.

Therefore,

✔ Facial expressions remain natural

✔ Skin texture becomes smooth

✔ Pores appear tightened

✔ Fine lines and oiliness are improved together.


What is the difference between Regular Botox and Skin Botox?

Skin Botox

Injection Site

Muscle layer

Superficial dermal layer

Purpose

Wrinkle and muscle reduction

Skin texture, pores, fine lines

Expression Change

Almost none

Sensation

Wrinkles are smoothed out

Fine lines are smoothed, pores are tightened

👉 It is easier to understand as a treatment that overall refines your skin condition, rather than simply ‘removing wrinkles’.

Target locations of Regular Botox and Skin Botox

Skin Botox is highly recommended for those who:

Have pores that stand out even after applying makeup

Develop multiple fine lines around the eyes and mouth when smiling

Have easily greasy skin with high oil secretion

Want to try Botox but are worried about unnatural facial expressions

Need help alleviating rosacea and facial flushing


4 Core Effects of Skin Botox

1️⃣ Pore Tightening

Reduces sebum secretion and tightens the skin around pores, making them appear smaller.

2️⃣ Skin Texture Improvement

Smooths out fine lines and unevenness, transforming your skin into a perfect canvas for makeup.

3️⃣ Natural Fine Line Relief

Especially effective for shallow wrinkles like those around the eyes and mouth, while maintaining your natural expressions.

4️⃣ Reduction of Oil and Sweat Secretion

Reduces stimulation of sebaceous and sweat glands, resulting in less greasy skin.

5️⃣ Helps Alleviate Rosacea and Flushing

As Skin Botox is evenly injected in small amounts into the dermal layer, it can help soothe hyper-reactive skin.

Especially for those who:

Easily get a red face after washing

Experience prolonged flushing due to temperature changes or irritation

Have skin with sensitive vascular reactions, such as rosacea

For these individuals,

👉 The intensity of flushing is often reduced, and the skin feels much more stable.

This is because Botox:

✔ Reduces excessive nerve stimulation and sweat/sebum secretion

✔ Soothes the reactivity of the skin's microvessels

👉 Acting in a way that makes the skin less prone to heating up and reduces redness.

※ However, since the causes and stages of rosacea vary,

Rather than being applied as a standalone treatment for therapeutic purposes in all cases,

It is often utilized as a supportive measure alongside laser and medical treatments.

In particular,

👉 Satisfaction is quite high among those in their 30s to early 40s, a time when skin aging begins to be noticeably felt.


Procedure Process and Duration

Proceeds after applying numbing cream

Evenly injected across the entire face using a fine needle

Procedure time is around 10 minutes (+ about 30 minutes for numbing cream application)

Immediate return to daily life is possible, but

On the day of the procedure,

❌ Please avoid saunas, alcohol consumption, and strenuous exercise.


When do the effects start, and how long do they last?

Effects are gradually felt after 3 to 7 days

Settles most naturally after about 2 weeks

Maintenance period is an average of 2 to 3 months

Depending on your skin condition,

👉 The longevity often improves when combined with other treatments or through regular, repeated sessions.


Skin Botox: Be sure to check these points

Since it must be injected evenly across the entire face, the practitioner's experience is crucial

Excessive dosage can make muscle movements look unnatural, so

👉 ‘Appropriate dosage’ and ‘adjustment by skin type’ are key


Final Words

Skin Botox is

Not so much a ‘drastic transformation’ procedure,

But rather a treatment that makes your skin look naturally better.

If you want to maintain naturalness

While simultaneously refining skin texture, pores, and fine lines,

Skin Botox is definitely a choice worth considering 🙂
