Hello.

This is Chief Director Kim Ha-won.

​

When looking into skin treatments,

the first question most people have is

"How long does the effect last?"

The same goes for skin Botox.

At first, it feels like the skin improves rapidly,

but over time, natural concerns arise.

"When should I get it again?"
"How often should I schedule it?"

In fact, skin Botox

is a treatment that cannot be completely summarized by simple few months, number of sessions.

Depending on skin condition, elasticity, and facial habits,

the duration varies,

and the treatment cycle that suits me also differs.

So what's important is

to set an appropriate skin Botox treatment cycle based on my skin condition

and to manage it so that it can be maintained naturally.

In this article,

✅ I will summarize the duration of skin Botox effects and treatment cycles

✅ and two key points to check before the procedure

in a simple and neat manner.

​

​

What is Skin Botox?

Skin Botox is a treatment method in which

small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected close to the skin's dermal layer

in very small quantities.

​

Unlike general Botox, which goes deep into the muscle layer

to inhibit muscle movement,

​

skin Botox has the characteristic of being able to improve skin texture while maintaining expressions.

​

🌱It acts on sebaceous glands and fine muscles, leading to tightened pores and reduced sebum production.

🌱As a result, the skin becomes smoother and fine lines lessen, experiencing changes that make makeup adhere better.

🌱Additionally, it promotes collagen regeneration, allowing for improvements in skin elasticity.

​

​

Timing and Duration of Skin Botox Effects⏳

Many people wonder the most when considering skin Botox about

when the effects start to show and how long they last.

Usually, between 3 to 7 days after the treatment,

many people experience softened skin texture and tightened pores.

After about two weeks, the effects stabilize, giving a feeling of overall skin tidiness.

Unfortunately, skin Botox is not a permanent treatment.

The average duration is about 2 to 3 months, and

depending on individual skin condition and lifestyle,

it can be as short as about 1 month or conversely, last longer.

Especially in areas like the eyes and mouth where expressions are frequently used, the effects may diminish relatively quickly,

while areas with less movement like cheeks and jawline tend to last a bit longer.

For this reason, it is recommended that the skin Botox treatment cycle

be spaced at least 3 months apart.

If effects diminish, resuming treatments immediately can

lead to the risk of tolerance,

and may shorten the duration of effects.

Generally, 2 to 3 times a year,

it is most ideal to plan treatment cycles according to important schedules or seasonal changes.

Key Points of Skin Botox💡

💡 Accurate Injection Location

Skin Botox is a treatment that improves skin texture while maintaining expressions, so

the injection location is crucial.

​

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

so it is necessary to carefully select the appropriate depth and area according to skin thickness, oil content, and pore size.

​

👉If injected too deeply, it may cause awkward expressions like general Botox,​

👉if injected too shallow or in the wrong location, the effects may dissipate quickly or be minimal.

​

In other words, how precisely the injection location is set is a

crucial factor that affects the results.

💡 Appropriate Dosage

The second key point is dosage adjustment.

​

Skin Botox involves injecting diluted toxins

in small amounts at multiple locations,

so adjusting the appropriate dosage according to skin condition is necessary.

​

Even with the same amount, reactions can vary greatly between individuals, so

customized approaches are more important than standardized figures.

​

💧Injecting too much may result in a tight feeling in the skin or cause unnatural expressions.​

💧Injecting too little may result in short-lived effects or almost undetectable results.

​

Therefore, each time a treatment is repeated, it is necessary to

check the skin response and skin Botox treatment cycle, and

accordingly adjust the dosage carefully.

Skin Botox Q&A💬

Q1. Between Skin Botox and general Botox,

which one should I choose?

​

A. If the goal is to improve skin texture without changing expressions and manage pores and fine lines,

skin Botox is suitable.

​

If you want to reduce wrinkles by limiting muscle movement,

general Botox is more effective.

Q2. After skin Botox treatment,

is it okay to put on makeup right away?

​

A. It is advisable not to put stress on the skin for about 1 to 2 hours after the treatment.

​

Avoiding irritating skincare or massages for at least a day is also helpful for maintaining effects.

Q3. Can the treatment intervals be too short?

​

A. Yes.

Repeating too often can lead to tolerance,

and the duration of effects may shorten.

​

The recommended interval is at least 3 months or more.
