Keep your expressions natural, upgrade only your skin texture✨

An easy-to-understand guide to the popular Korean “skin botox (skin Botox)”!

This time, we will introduce “skin Botox”, a popular staple of Korean beauty🐰

 

It is also called “skiboto” or “micro Botox,” and is a treatment

often chosen by those concerned about enlarged pores, fine lines, and a lack of firmness or radiance✨

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

🌟 What is skin Botox?

 

 

It uses the same “botulinum toxin formulation” as regular Botox, but
the injection layer and purpose differ, which is the key point.

Traditional Botox
A treatment that is injected into the facial muscles to relax their movement and make wrinkles less noticeable.

Skin Botox (skiboto)
A treatment in which small amounts are injected into the superficial layer of the skin, mainly around the dermis, with the aim of intensively improving skin texture.

.

It is suitable for those who want to improve their skin texture without significantly changing their facial expressions, but
the results vary depending on the injection volume, injection site, and individual differences, so it is important to confirm these details during your consultation☺️

💉 How Skin Botox Is Administered(2 Types)

Onset of effects
Many people notice improvements in skin firmness and pore appearance within a few days to a week after the treatment.

Duration
The guideline is approximately 3–4 months.
It is said that continuing the treatment regularly can help stabilize the condition of the skin.

※ The onset and duration of effects vary from person to person. 

 

💭 About Downtime
