Hello.
This is Mutoel Plastic Surgery.
When the skin starts to look especially rough
and you feel that its elasticity has decreased,
many people begin looking for different solutions.
However, frequent mask wearing, ultraviolet rays,
and the traces left by gravity over time
show up on our faces faster than we think.
At times like this, there is a procedure that comes up
as an effective alternative.
That is the “skin Botox” we are introducing today.
Unlike regular Botox, it is injected into the skin layer,
not the facial muscles,
and is excellent for improving fine lines,
refining pores, controlling sebum,
and enhancing the overall condition of the skin.
So today, let’s take a closer look with Mutoel at
what skin Botox exactly is, what concerns it can address,
and the procedure process, including who it is recommended for.

- What Is Skin Botox?
Its mechanism is different from conventional Botox,
which relaxes muscles to smooth wrinkles.
In general, if the procedure is performed by injecting into
muscles in areas where wrinkles form, such as the forehead,
glabella, and around the eyes, with the goal of preventing
wrinkles from appearing when making facial expressions,
skin Botox at Sinyongsan Dermatology is injected very thinly
and broadly into the dermis, the shallowest layer of the skin,
to improve skin texture, tighten pores, and reduce sebum.
Although the ingredient injected is the same as Botox,
the layer it acts on is completely different,
so the direction and purpose of the effect are
set 180 degrees differently.


- What effects can it have?
Skin Botox acts directly on the skin rather than the muscles.
As a result, pores can feel tighter,
fine lines can be softly smoothed out,
and overall skin texture can feel more refined.
In particular, people with high sebum production
or skin types that become very oily by the afternoon
may experience a noticeable oil-control effect.
Without a conspicuously tight or stiff feeling,
a natural lifting effect can also appear.
Because the skin is generally tightened with more elasticity,
makeup also applies better, making this one
of the signature procedures at Sinyongsan Dermatology
for a smoother-looking impression.

- Procedure Method and Time Required
Before the main procedure begins,
a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is conducted
to understand each person’s concerns and needs.
If you are wearing makeup, the procedure is performed
after a simple cleansing, followed by the application
of anesthetic cream. Once anesthesia is complete,
the injection is carried out using a syringe into a very shallow layer,
either in a stamping motion or, using the Hicooks device,
specified depths can be evenly distributed.
This process takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
Immediately after the procedure, redness or mild swelling
may occur, but in most cases it subsides within a day or two,
and daily life is possible.
Depending on the skin type, some people may worry about
small issues such as folliculitis or tiny acne-like bumps.
This is also temporary and recovers quickly,
so there is no need to worry too much.

- When do the effects appear?
Rather than showing an immediate dramatic effect,
this is a procedure where the skin texture gradually becomes smoother
and the effects appear over time.
Usually, oiliness starts to decrease after about 3 to 5 days,
and after 1 to 2 weeks, the pores become more refined
and fine lines are seen to soften.
The effects last for about 2 to 3 months,
and depending on the individual, they may be maintained
for up to 4 months.
If maintenance treatments are performed every 3 to 4 months,
the overall skin texture gradually becomes more stable,
and you can feel improved elasticity as well.

- Synergy When Combined with Other Procedures
Although it is an excellent procedure that can deliver
satisfying results on its own,
it has very high versatility, so it can also create strong synergy
when combined with other procedures.
At Sinyongsan Dermatology, combining it with energy lifting
or regenerative injections can lead to even better results.
For example, if skin Botox is added after procedures
such as Titanium lifting or Denserti,
skin elasticity can be maintained while sebum control
and pore improvement are also achieved.
In addition, if used together with regenerative injections
such as Rejuran, Rituo injections, or skin booster injections,
skin texture and tone can both be refined,
helping create a more vibrant impression.

- Recommended for These People
It is especially recommended for oily skin with a lot of sebum
and severe shine, skin with enlarged pores that make makeup
cling poorly, and skin troubled by fine lines.
It is also a good option for people who do not want their
facial expressions to look unnatural but want their overall
skin texture to feel more refined,
and for those who want a clean, smooth-looking impression.
When done regularly, the skin itself can feel much more refined,
so the image-improvement effect is high,
and as mentioned above, it pairs very well with other procedures,
making it a commonly chosen treatment at Sinyongsan Dermatology.

- In Closing..
Skin Botox is a multifunctional procedure that can improve
not only wrinkles but also skin texture, elasticity, and pores.
Because it causes little irritation and has a quick recovery,
it does not greatly interfere with daily life,
and its clear advantage is that it can make the overall impression
of the skin look softer and more refined.
When considering the procedure, the most important thing
is to make a decision through sufficient consultation
with the medical staff at Sinyongsan Dermatology,
who can judge the appropriate dose and depth
based on your skin condition.
If you want a natural change without overdoing it,
I think skin Botox is one good option.
Since it is a procedure that can be tried without much burden
even in the hot summer season these days,
I think now is the best time for those who have been hesitating
to challenge themselves with skin care.
Then I’ll wrap up today’s post here.
