What Skin Botox Is

Skin Botox (also called Micro Botox, Intradermal Botox, or Mesobotox) is a cosmetic treatment that uses very diluted botulinum toxin injected just below the skin’s surface rather than deep into muscles. The goal isn’t to freeze large muscles — it’s to improve skin texture and quality. Allure+1

• Traditional Botox targets deeper muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles.
• Skin Botox targets the skin’s upper layers to refine pores, smooth texture, and reduce oil output.

What It Does

Skin Botox is popular in Korea for achieving a “glass skin” look — soft, smooth, radiant skin with subtle glow and texture improvement:

 Common Benefits

✔ Smaller-looking pores and smoother texture
✔ Reduced oil and mild sweat gland activity
✔ Subtle reduction of fine lines
✔ Enhanced overall skin glow
✔ Maintains natural facial expressions
Unlike deeper Botox, it typically does not freeze muscle movement.

How It Works

• Diluted toxin: Botox is mixed with more saline than usual.
• Multiple micro-injections: The injector places tiny doses shallowly across the face.
• Gentle, superficial effect: This helps calm oil and sweat glands and may improve overall tone.

Because it’s superficial, facial expressions are typically untouched.

Results & Duration

• When effects start: A few days after treatment.
• How long it lasts: Approximately 3–4 months depending on skin type and dosing.
• Downtime: Minimal — most people resume daily activities right after.

Typical Cost Range in Seoul

Prices vary by clinic, face area treated, and injector experience, but general ranges seen in Seoul are:

• Full face treatment: from about ₩120,000–₩350,000+
• Specific areas: from about ₩50,000–₩150,000+
  (These are general ranges seen in local price guides and can vary by provider.)

Who It’s Best For

Skin Botox is ideal if you want:

• A refreshed, radiant complexion
• Tiny pore appearance and smoother texture
• Subtle anti-aging improvement without muscle freezing
• More natural-looking results than traditional wrinkle-freezing botox

It may be less effective for deep, expression-related wrinkles — in those cases, traditional injector placement is more appropriate. Allure
