Hello.

Today, I’d like to talk about skin botox (dermotoxin), one of the treatments many people have heard about in the clinic, but often ask what exactly it is and whether it is suitable for them.
Unlike botox injected into the muscles to reduce expression lines and decrease muscle volume, skin botox is a treatment in which diluted botox is injected thinly into the shallow layer of the skin, almost like making a cast.
It is a treatment that can help bring about natural changes such as pore reduction, improvement of fine wrinkles, enhanced skin elasticity, and reduction of redness.
Have you been curious about how these changes happen?
The mechanism of skin botox

[Yeongdeungpo Dermotoxin]
The sweat glands and sebaceous glands in the epidermis exchange signals through acetylcholine.
When botox is injected, acetylcholine acting in the epidermis is controlled, which reduces the secretion of sweat and sebum.
As a result, it indirectly affects the sebaceous glands and noticeably reduces enlarged pores.
In addition, by suppressing the movement of the fine muscles in the skin surface layer,
it can improve fine facial wrinkles and refine lines where skin elasticity has declined.
What skin concerns can skin botox help with?

[Yeongdeungpo Skin Botox]
Skin botox can be very helpful for improving fine wrinkles and pores,
and in addition to pore reduction and fine wrinkle improvement, it can also help improve skin elasticity and texture.
If you have deep-set wrinkles or significant loss of skin elasticity, combining skin botox with other lifting procedures such as Oligio (radiofrequency) or Shurink (high-intensity focused ultrasound) may produce synergistic effects.
Precautions during skin botox treatment

To perform skin botox effectively, the injection depth and concentration are very important.
It must be injected shallowly into the dermis of the appropriate area with the concentration adjusted properly in order to achieve natural-looking skin changes.
If the injection is too deep or the concentration is too strong, facial expressions may look unnatural or discomfort may occur.
Therefore, to ensure the treatment is tailored to the degree of fine wrinkles, pores, and skin type,
I recommend receiving treatment from medical staff with extensive experience in various cases :)
After skin botox, some areas may appear bumpy, but this is usually a natural phenomenon that occurs when it is injected shallowly into the dermis and disappears after a few hours.
In addition, needle marks and bruising may occur, but they usually subside within 1 to 2 weeks, and serious side effects are rare with this treatment.
