Hello,
I’m Director Kang In-jeong of The River Dermatology at Dangsan Station~
The fierce winter winds are gradually fading,
and even in the air we feel with our skin, it is the end of February, when hints of spring are starting to be felt. :)
Around this time of year,
as people begin to uncover skin that has been covered by scarves, hats, and masks throughout the winter,
consultations about wanting to “refine the skin texture” tend to increase.ㅎ
Today, I’d like to talk about
dermotoxin (skin Botox), which many people ask about.
🔹 What Is Skin Botox?
Dermotoxin (skin Botox) is
a procedure in which diluted Botox is injected shallowly and densely into the dermal layer of the skin,
rather than into the muscle layer used for facial expressions,
so changes that are felt at the surface of the skin appear relatively quickly
without making facial expressions feel awkward.
🔹 Differences from Skin Boosters
One of the parts that many people find confusing and often ask about
is the difference between skin boosters and dermotoxin.
✔ Skin boosters such as Rejuran, Juvelook, and water glow injections
→ Procedures that improve the skin’s “internal environment” so the skin itself can become healthier on its own
✔ Skin Botox (dermotoxin)
→ A procedure that immediately makes the skin’s “surface” look more refined
It is difficult to bring about changes deep within the skin, but if done regularly,
it can also help prevent fine lines from becoming deeply set to some extent.
In other words,
if you think of skin boosters as a kind of software improvement,
it may be easier to understand skin Botox as a hardware improvement.
🔹 What Are the Effects of Skin Botox?
This is also a part many people are curious about~ㅎ
Skin Botox can have effects such as:
✔ Improving fine lines and refining skin texture
✔ Improving pores
✔ Improving redness
✔ Reducing excess sebum production

Therefore, after the procedure, many people describe the result as
“the skin looks more refined and smoother” 😊
🔹 The Most Important Part of Skin Botox Treatment
When performing dermotoxin,
👉 the injection depth and the Botox dosage and dilution must be carefully adjusted.
The injected skin Botox should be distributed shallowly and evenly in the dermal layer of the skin in the needed area
so that the skin texture can be naturally refined
while maintaining a soft impression without awkward facial expressions.
If the injection depth is too deep or the dose is too high,
facial discomfort or unnaturalness may appear,
so based on sufficient clinical experience with botulinum toxin
and an understanding of the skin layer structure of each area,
a delicate procedure is needed that adjusts depth and dosage according to each person’s skin condition rather than using the same method for everyone.
At The River Dermatology, we have thorough consultations with patients before treatment,
check the direction they want and their skin condition together,
and then carefully design the procedure so that the results are comfortable and natural. :)
🔹 How Long Does Skin Botox Last?
Although it varies from person to person,
it usually lasts about 3 to 5 months.
If performed at appropriate intervals,
it may help prevent fine lines and maintain skin texture.
🔹 Skin Botox Is Recommended for These People
✔ People with thin skin and many fine lines
✔ People concerned about both shininess and enlarged pores on the cheeks
✔ People who want to refine their skin texture without it being obvious
✔ People who want to improve their skin condition before an important event
Closing
Skin Botox is
a treatment that naturally and quickly creates a “refined skin texture.”
Since the appropriate procedure may differ depending on your skin condition and needs,
we recommend deciding after sufficient consultation 😊
As the approaching spring comes,
we hope you welcome the new season with comfortable and natural skin condition.
