Hello.

I am Kim Ha-won from Beauty Doctors.

​

​

When looking into skin procedures,

the most curious thing is

how long the effects last.

​

​

The same goes for skin Botox.

​

​

At first, it feels like it improves quickly,

but after some time, when should I get it again?

you often find yourself wondering.

​

​

Ultimately, what’s important is that simply knowing it lasts for a few months,

and how many times you need to get it is

not sufficient.

​

​

It is necessary to establish

the interval for skin Botox treatments suited to my skin condition,

​

and naturally maintaining that care is

far more essential.

​

​

In this article, I will summarize the duration of skin Botox effects and

the interval for skin Botox treatments, and the two key points

you must check when considering the treatment.

​

​

What is skin Botox?

Skin Botox is a treatment method for injecting botulinum toxin

in very small amounts close to the dermis layer of the skin.

​

​

Unlike regular Botox, which enters deep into the muscle layer to

suppress muscle movement,

​

skin Botox has the characteristic of improving skin texture while

maintaining facial expressions.

​

​

It works on the sebaceous glands and fine muscles,

tightening pores and reducing sebum production.

​

​

This results in the skin becoming

smooth and fine lines appearing less visible,

allowing for noticeable changes in makeup application.

​

​

Additionally, it promotes collagen regeneration,

leading to expected improvements in skin elasticity.

​

​

Timing and Duration of Skin Botox Effects ⏳

Many people are curious about

​when the effects appear,

and how long they last.

​

​

Typically, within 3 to 7 days after the procedure,

you can feel changes with smoother skin texture and

tightened pores.

​

​

Around 2 weeks post-treatment,

the effects stabilize, giving the skin a more refined appearance.

​

​

However, unfortunately, the effects of skin Botox are

not permanent.

​

​

On average, it lasts about 2 to 3 months,

depending on skin condition and lifestyle habits,

​

it could shorten to about 1 month,

or conversely, last a bit longer.

​

​

Areas like around the eyes and mouth where you use expressions often

can lose their effects quickly,

​

while areas like the cheeks and jawline where movement is minimal

tend to last longer.

​

​

Thus, the interval for skin Botox treatments should be at least

3 months apart for best results.

​

​

If you repeat the treatment immediately as the effects wear off,

​it may lead to tolerance,

and the duration may gradually shorten.

​

​

Generally, it is recommended to do 2 to 3 times a year,

planning the intervals accordingly to important events or seasonal changes

for skin Botox treatments.

Key Points of Skin Botox 💡

💡 Accurate Injection Location

​

Since skin Botox is a treatment that improves skin texture while maintaining facial expressions,

the injection location is paramount.

​

​

Even with the same toxin, the results can vary depending on the injection site and depth,

​

so it’s essential to carefully select the appropriate depth and area

based on skin thickness, oil levels, and pore size.

​

​

If injected too deeply, it can cause awkward expressions like regular Botox,

​

and if injected too shallowly or incorrectly,

the effects may wear off quickly or be minimal.

​

​

In other words, how precisely you determine the injection site

is a critical factor that influences the outcome.

💡 Proper Dosage

​

The second key point is dosage control.

​

​

Skin Botox involves injecting diluted toxin in small amounts

across various areas,

​

so it’s necessary to adjust the dosage according to the skin condition.

​

​

The reaction can vary greatly between individuals even with the same amount,

so a customized approach is more important than standardized measurements.

​

​

If injected too much, it can give a tight feeling in the skin or make expressions look unnatural.

​

​

If injected too little, the effects may be short-lived

or hardly noticeable.

​

​

Therefore, with each treatment repetition,

it is necessary to check the skin reaction and the interval for skin Botox treatments,

​

and fine-tune the dosage accordingly.

Skin Botox Q&A 💬

Q1. Should I choose skin Botox or regular Botox?

​

A. If your goal is to improve skin texture and

manage pores and fine lines without changing facial expressions,

skin Botox is suitable.

​

If you want to reduce muscle movement for wrinkle improvement,

regular Botox is more effective.

Q2. Can I apply makeup immediately after the skin Botox treatment?

​

A. It is generally recommended to avoid putting pressure on the skin for about 1 to 2 hours after the treatment.

​

Avoiding strong skincare or massages for at least a day can help maintain the effectiveness.

Q3. Is it bad if the intervals between treatments are too short?

​

A. Yes.

Repeating too frequently can lead to tolerance,

and the duration of effects may shorten gradually.

​

The recommended interval is at least 3 months.
