万能解决师皮肤肉毒

Hello. This is Chief Director Kim Ga-eul. One of the most frequently asked treatments these days is skin Botox.

"Isn't Botox for removing wrinkles?" "Is Botox applied all over the face?"

I really get these questions often.

Skin Botox generally has a different purpose compared to wrinkle improvement Botox.

Today, I'll explain what skin Botox is, what effects it has, and how it differs from regular Botox. Let's dive into details.

What is skin Botox?

Skin Botox is a treatment that injects Botox

very shallowly and widely into the dermis layer near the skin surface.

While regular Botox is injected deeply into the muscles to inhibit muscle contraction, skin Botox targets the skin’s own sebaceous glands and pores and the skin surface. Simply put, instead of removing wrinkles,

it’s a treatment that organizes and brightens the skin itself. The difference between regular Botox and skin Botox Regular Botox 

🌻 Injected deep into the muscle layer 🌻 Inhibits muscle movement 🌻 Aimed at wrinkle improvement

🌻 Specific areas like forehead, frown lines, around the eyes

Skin Botox

🌻 Injected shallowly into the dermis layer 🌻 Regulates sebaceous glands and pores 🌻 Aimed at improving skin texture, oiliness, and pores 🌻 Throughout the entire face or large areas In other words, although the same Botox ingredient is used, the depth of injection and purpose are completely different treatments.

What effects does skin Botox have? What will change? 🐸 Pore reduction

By inhibiting sebaceous gland activity, the pores naturally tighten and appear smaller.

It's particularly effective in areas with enlarged pores
like the T-zone or around the nose.

🐸 Skin texture improvement

The skin surface becomes smoother and uneven textures are organized, allowing makeup to apply better and the skin to look much finer.

🐸 Sebum control

By regulating sebum secretion, shine is reduced, and the makeup lasts longer. People with oily skin or during summer especially appreciate this effect.

🐸 Natural lifting

The skin surface tightens and you may feel your entire face slightly lifted. Since it doesn’t affect the muscles, your expressions remain natural while the skin feels firm.

🐸 Improved skin tone

With sebum and dead skin cells organized, the skin appears clearer and more transparent.

What is the process of skin Botox treatment? 1. Consultation and skin diagnosis

Check skin type, pore condition, and sebum secretion levels (Mark View) and consult with a specialist to see if skin Botox is suitable.

2. Application of numbing cream

To minimize pain, apply numbing cream and wait for 10-15 minutes.

3. Botox injection

Inject evenly into a large area close to the skin surface with a very thin needle. The procedure takes approximately 10-20 minutes, which is relatively short.

4. Soothing care

Often, a cooling pack or soothing treatment is given immediately after the procedure.

When will the effects of skin Botox appear?

There won't be dramatic changes immediately after the procedure.

Generally, you'll start to feel reduced sebum secretion within about 3 to 7 days And after about 2 weeks, you will definitely feel your pores smaller and skin texture smoother.

How long will the effects last?

It varies by individual, but effects generally last about 3 to 6 months. The more sebaceous secretion a person has, the shorter the duration of effects may be.

Therefore, it is typically recommended to carry out treatments every 3 to 6 months. Recommended for people who:

🐸 Concerned about enlarged pores 🐸 Have excessive sebum secretion and face often shines 🐸 Have rough skin texture and find it hard to apply makeup 🐸 Want a natural lifting effect 🐸 Want to improve the skin without touching the muscles

What precautions should I take after the treatment?

On the same day 🐸 Cleansing can be done after 4-6 hours 🐸 Avoid saunas, baths, and intense exercise 🐸 Avoid alcohol For a week 🐸 Avoid excessive massages and rubbing 🐸 Thoroughly protect against UV 🐸 Ensure sufficient moisturizing care If you avoid stimulating the treated areas, you can maintain the effects longer.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q. Can I get it together with regular Botox? A. Yes, it is possible.

The forehead and frown lines can be treated with regular Botox to improve wrinkles,

while the cheeks or jawline can be treated with skin Botox to refine the skin’s texture. Q. How much pain will there be? A. Because a numbing cream is applied, you will only feel a slight sting. In most cases, it’s a tolerable level of discomfort. Q. Will it make my expressions unnatural?

A. Since skin Botox is injected into the skin layer, not the muscles,

it does not affect your expressions at all. You can maintain a natural expression. Q. What if I feel like there’s no effect? A. If you see no changes after about 2 weeks,

you may consider additional treatment or dosage adjustment through a follow-up appointment.

Q. Is it better to have it in summer?

A. While satisfaction is particularly high during summer with increased sebum secretion,

it can be received at any time of the year.

Skin Botox is a treatment that improves the quality of the skin itself, not wrinkle removal.

It addresses multiple issues at once, such as pores, skin texture, oiliness, and lifting, which is why many people seek it out. However, since the effects and duration vary depending on skin type and condition, it is recommended to consult with a specialist before undergoing the treatment. Thank you for reading.
