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.
