Results Over Time
Unlike traditional Botox that targets muscles, Skin Botox is injected superficially into the skin — refining pores, reducing oil, and smoothing the surface.
01Days 3–7
Oil production begins to drop; skin feels less shiny and pores start to look smaller.
023 months (mid-course)
Peak effect — refined pores, smoother texture, reduced sebum, with natural expression preserved.
036 months
Effect gradually wanes as nerve terminals recover. Maintenance session recommended.

Botulinum Toxin Skin Booster
Micro-dosed Botox® / Xeomin® (MFDS-licensed botulinum toxin type A) injected intradermally, procured through authorized Korean distribution.
Intradermal Micro-Dose
Diluted toxin placed superficially into the dermis — refines pores and texture without affecting expression.
Sebum & Pore Control
Reduces oil production and tightens pores for a smoother, less shiny surface.
Expression Preserved
Because it targets the skin, not the muscles, natural facial expression is preserved.
Treatment Process

02Micro-Dose Preparation
Botulinum toxin is diluted to a precise micro-dose for intradermal injection.
03Intradermal Injection

Q.How long does Skin Botox last?
Typically 3-4 months. Regular maintenance treatments can extend the effect.

Yes. Many patients receive traditional Botox for wrinkle areas and Skin Botox for overall skin quality in the same session.
Q.Which brand of botulinum toxin is used?
Authentic Allergan Aesthetics (AbbVie) Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA), the same brand used for traditional Botox — diluted to a precise micro-dose concentration for intradermal injection. MFDS-licensed and procured through authorized Korean channels.
