Hello, this is Mutoel Plastic Surgery.
This year, there has been a Yongsan skin clinic procedure that has been drawing a lot of attention.
It is also one of the procedures we receive many inquiries about at Mutoel.
Today, I’d like to talk all about “Skin Botox” —
what it is, and whether there are any precautions to keep in mind.
Many of you are probably familiar with Botox.
“An injection that gets rid of crow’s feet?”
“Isn’t that the one for square jaw Botox?”
Many people know it that way.
But these days, even without deep facial wrinkles,
there has been a noticeable increase in Botox treatments,
even among people in their 20s and 30s.
One reason for that is “Skin Botox,”
also known by names such as Chanel Botox or Reju Botox,
which is a micro-Botox procedure.


What is Skin Botox?
Regular Botox works by suppressing muscle movement to improve wrinkles.
However, Skin Botox is a procedure that injects diluted botulinum toxin into the dermal layer of the skin,
and it is also called “dermothoxin.”
Unlike regular Botox, which acts on muscles,
it works on the skin layer, so it can improve fine lines
more naturally.
It helps create a clear and even skin tone,
and is also effective for improving enlarged pores and skin texture.
In addition, because it smooths the skin,
it can also add firmness to facial contours,
making it a versatile procedure at this Yongsan skin clinic.
To put it simply,
think of it as “Botox injected into the surface of the skin” or
“Botox injected into the skin like a skin booster.”


What effects can it have?
Skin Botox is a well-rounded procedure that can help improve a variety of skin concerns.
First, because Botox stabilizes the micro muscles in the skin fascia (the layer just above the SMAS),
it helps prevent sagging and provides a lifting effect.
It also helps regulate the sebaceous glands and micro muscle contraction around the pores,
making the skin texture smoother and helping to reduce pore size and improve elasticity.
In addition, it can reduce sebum production,
which makes it effective for sebum control and acne prevention,
and it naturally softens fine surface wrinkles,
allowing smoother improvement of shallow wrinkles without making facial expressions feel stiff.
Through this improvement in skin texture,
the bumpy surface of the skin becomes smoother
and more radiant.


How is the procedure done?
First, when you visit the Yongsan skin clinic,
you will remove makeup by cleansing your face,
then anesthetic cream is applied to the skin.
After that, toxin is injected densely across the front part of the face
using ultra-fine needles.
The injection areas can include the forehead, glabella, bridge of the nose, eye area,
cheeks, and jawline,
and depending on the case, it can also be extended to the neck, around the mouth, and the jawline.
Although the procedure takes about 10 minutes,
and recovery is limited to slight swelling and redness for 1 to 2 hours right after,
it may seem like a simple procedure,
but injecting the proper amount into the exact target layer is more difficult than expected and requires delicate work.
For that reason, Skin Botox requires far more precision and detail than regular Botox.
That is why, before the procedure, it is important to carefully check and visit a Yongsan skin clinic where an experienced and skilled doctor performs the treatment.
What should you be careful about?
Skin Botox is a relatively safe procedure,
but there are a few precautions you should follow.
Of course, on the day of the procedure, you should avoid strenuous exercise,
saunas, alcohol, and the like.
You can wash your face starting at least 4 hours later,
and please do not use irritating cosmetics.
Avoid rubbing or massaging the area with your hands,
and for 2 to 3 days, it is best to avoid sun exposure
and situations involving hot heat.
Recommended for these people.
It is a well-balanced procedure,
but it is especially recommended for people whose skin has a lot of uneven texture and whose makeup does not sit well,
or whose cheeks look slightly spread out and whose pores are enlarged,
or for those who worry about fine wrinkles but are concerned about Botox making their facial expressions stiff,
or who feel burdened by very expensive procedures and need a quick change.


Frequently Asked Questions Q&A
Lastly, when you visit the Yongsan skin clinic,
I’d like to answer about four of the questions we received most often at Mutoel.
Q1. Does Skin Botox make facial expressions stiff?
A. Hardly at all. Skin Botox works on the micro muscles in the superficial skin layer,
not the expression muscles, so natural facial expressions are possible.
Q2. Does it show a lot after the procedure?
A. There may be slight swelling or redness, but it settles within 1 to 2 hours,
and you can resume daily life from the next day.
Q3. How many sessions are needed?
A. At Mutoel, we recommend repeating the procedure about three times at 3- to 4-month intervals.
With regular maintenance,
it is possible to maintain consistent skin condition.
Q4. Can it be combined with other procedures?
A. Yes, it can be combined with water glow injections, Rejuran, and others,
and depending on the situation, it can also be combined with lifting procedures.
However, please adjust the procedure sequence and interval through sufficient consultation with a professional medical team.
In closing...
Skin Botox is not a procedure that simply smooths wrinkles just because it is called “Botox.”
It is a procedure that can more naturally improve overall skin condition,
including skin texture, pores, elasticity, and radiance.
Especially in times like now, when no-makeup skin appearance is important,
it seems that the need for “clear, radiant skin without wrinkles” has become very strong.
However, since it cannot be applied to all skin types,
please be sure to consult a specialist at the Yongsan skin clinic
to see whether it is appropriate for your skin condition,
and use it according to your goals.
Although this is a procedure that may seem superficial,
please remember that you cannot expect clear results with superficial skill.
We hope today’s information was helpful,
and we will end today’s post here.
Thank you, as always, to everyone who visits our Mutoel Plastic Surgery blog.
