Skin Botox Effect Timeline: When Do Changes Start?

Hello.

This is Kim Gaeul from Beauty Doctors.

One of the treatments I get asked about most these days is

Skin Botox.

"Isn't Botox for smoothing wrinkles?"

"Do you get Botox injected all over the face?"

I get questions like these very often.

Skin Botox generally has a

different purpose

from the wrinkle-improving Botox most people know.

Today, I’ll explain what Skin Botox is,

what effects it has,

and how it differs from regular Botox

in detail.

What is

Skin Botox?

Skin Botox is

a procedure that injects Botox very lightly and widely

into the dermis, close to the skin surface.

Unlike regular Botox,

which goes deep into the muscles

and suppresses muscle contraction,

Skin Botox targets the skin’s own sebaceous glands,

pores,

and the skin surface.

Simply put,

it is not a treatment to smooth wrinkles,

but a treatment that helps refine and brighten

the skin itself.

Differences between

regular Botox and Skin Botox

Regular Botox

🌻 Injected deep into the muscle layer

🌻 Suppresses muscle movement

🌻 Aimed at improving wrinkles

🌻 Specific areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes

Skin Botox

🌻 Injected lightly into the dermis

🌻 Controls sebum and pores

🌻 Aimed at improving skin texture, sebum, and pores

🌻 The whole face or a wide area

In other words, although the same Botox ingredient is used,

the injection depth and purpose

are completely different.

What changes

with Skin Botox effects?

🐸 Pore reduction

By suppressing sebaceous gland activity,

pores naturally tighten

and appear smaller.

It is especially effective on areas where pores appear enlarged,

such as the T-zone or around the nose.

🐸 Improved skin texture

The skin surface becomes smoother,

uneven texture is refined,

makeup applies better,

and the skin looks more even.

🐸 Sebum control

By regulating sebum secretion,

greasy shine is reduced

and the time before makeup breaks down is delayed.

People with oily skin or those in the summer season

are especially satisfied.

🐸 Natural lifting

As the skin surface tightens,

you may feel that the entire face is slightly lifted.

Because it does not affect the muscles,

your expressions remain natural

while only the skin feels firmer.

🐸 Improved skin tone

As sebum and dead skin cells are better controlled,

the skin can also appear clearer and more translucent.

How does the

Skin Botox procedure work?

1. Consultation and skin diagnosis

The skin type, pore condition,

sebum secretion level, and more are checked (MarkVue),

and a specialist consults with you to determine

whether Skin Botox is appropriate.

2. Apply anesthetic cream

To minimize pain,

an anesthetic cream is applied

and left for about 10 to 15 minutes.

3. Botox injection

Using a very fine needle,

the Botox is evenly injected over a wide area

close to the skin surface.

The procedure time is relatively short,

about 10 to 20 minutes.

4. Soothing care

Immediately after the procedure,

cooling packs or soothing care are often provided.

When do the effects of

Skin Botox appear?

You won’t see dramatic changes

right after the procedure.

Usually, you’ll start to feel a reduction in sebum secretion

after 3 to 7 days,

and

after about 2 weeks,

you can clearly notice that the pores have become smaller

and the skin texture has become smoother.

How long

do the effects last?

It varies from person to person,

but in general, the effects last about 3 to 6 months.

For people who produce a lot of sebum,

the duration of the effect may be a little shorter.

So it is usually recommended to maintain the treatment regularly

at intervals of 3 to 6 months.

Skin Botox is

recommended for these people

🐸 People worried about enlarged-looking pores

🐸 People who produce a lot of sebum

and often have a shiny face

🐸 People with rough skin texture

and makeup that does not apply well

🐸 People who want a natural lifting effect

🐸 People who want to improve only the skin

without affecting the muscles

Precautions

after the procedure

On the day

🐸 Washing the face is possible only after 4 to 6 hours

🐸 Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise

🐸 Avoid alcohol

For one week

🐸 Avoid excessive massage or rubbing

🐸 Be diligent about sun protection

🐸 Maintain sufficient moisturizing care

If you take care not to irritate the treated area,

you can maintain the effects for longer.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q. Can it be done together

with regular Botox?

A. Yes, it is possible.

The forehead and between the eyebrows can be treated with regular Botox

to improve wrinkles,

and the cheeks or jawline can be treated with Skin Botox

to refine skin texture,

so many people combine the two.

Q. How much pain is there?

A. Because anesthetic cream is applied,

you only feel a slight stinging pain.

For most people, it is at a level that can be tolerated well.

Q. Won’t the facial expression become unnatural?

A. Skin Botox is injected into the skin layer,

not the muscles,

so it does not affect facial expressions at all.

Natural expressions can be maintained.

Q. What if I feel like there is no effect?

A. If there is no change even after about 2 weeks,

follow-up consultation can be used to consider additional treatment

or dose adjustment.

Q. Is it better to get it in the summer?

A. Satisfaction is especially high in summer,

when sebum secretion is greater,

but it can be received in any season.

Skin Botox is not a treatment for wrinkle improvement,

but a procedure that enhances the quality of the skin itself.

Because it can improve several concerns at once,

including pores, skin texture, sebum, and lifting,

many people are seeking it out.

However, since the effects and duration vary depending on skin type and condition,

it is recommended to receive the procedure

after 충분한 consultation with a specialist.
