Skin Botox vs. Wrinkle Botox: When the depth differs, the effect does too

Keep the expression, firm up the skin

— The real principle behind Skin Botox

Many of you have been curious about Skin Botox,

so I put everything together one by one myself.

"Doesn’t it make your face look stiff?"

"What does it mean to inject Botox into the skin?"

"Does it also help with pores or sebum?"

I get questions like these all the time. Let me answer them honestly, one by one.

✅ 1. What is Skin Botox?

Skin Botox

is also called DermaTox.

What makes it different from regular wrinkle Botox

is the depth and concentration used.

Compared with regular Botox,

it is diluted to about one-quarter of the usual strength

and injected shallowly into the dermis.

When Botox is injected into the dermis,

the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is blocked,

and three effects appear at the same time.

Sweat secretion decreases,

sebum secretion decreases,

and the fine movements of the facial muscles are reduced.

As these three effects come together,

the skin becomes firmer

and gains a dewy, glowing effect.

✅ 2. Won’t your facial expression look stiff after the procedure?

I get this question a lot.

To get straight to the point,

if it is done properly, it does not affect facial expressions.

The key with Skin Botox

is to keep it natural while preventing wrinkles

from becoming deeply etched.

However, if too much is injected,

the forehead can feel overly tight,

or it can affect the expression muscles.

In particular, it is important to inject superficially

to avoid affecting the muscles around the mouth.

Some people say, "The wrinkles still show," and ask for more,

but if you pursue that level,

it can actually make the face feel stiff.

Keeping the right balance

is the most important point in Skin Botox.

✅ 3. How much does it hurt?

To be honest,

it is on the painful side.

There are two types of pain with intradermal injections.

The first is the pinching feeling

that comes from the tiny bumps forming,

the second is the burning sensation caused by

not matching the skin’s pH.

Since it does not contain an anesthetic ingredient like Rejuran HB,

it is not completely painless.

But many people say it is "manageable."

If you are worried about pain,

you can apply anesthetic cream in advance

and proceed with the treatment,

so please mention it during your consultation.

✅ 4. Does it work for all skin types?

It is effective for most skin types. It is especially suitable for people like these.

People with high sebum production,

people who sweat a lot

(also used to treat hyperhidrosis),

and people with many fine lines.

The effect does not last for a very long time,

but it is a treatment that makes the skin

noticeably better in the short term.

Sebum decreases, fine lines soften,

and the skin texture becomes more even.

✅ 5. What is the principle behind its effect on skin texture and pores?

The key ingredient in Skin Botox is Botox.

When Botox blocks acetylcholine,

muscle contraction,

the sweat secretion of sweat glands,

and the sebum secretion of sebaceous glands

all decrease together.

When sebum decreases, pores are less likely to clog,

and the skin texture becomes more even.

As sweat secretion decreases, greasiness improves,

and as muscle movement decreases,

fine lines are less likely to form.

The biggest advantage of Skin Botox

is that these three effects appear at the same time.

✅ 6. Does the approach differ by area?

It should. There are areas where problems can occur if it is done incorrectly.

If it is injected incorrectly under the eyes,

the aegyo-sal can disappear.

If too much is injected around the mouth,

it can cause side effects that make the mouth pull to one side.

That is why it is important to precisely design

the depth and amount injected for each area.

This is why an experienced practitioner is important.

✅ 7. Can it be done together with wrinkle Botox?

Yes, it can be done together.

Wrinkle Botox goes into the muscle layer,

while Skin Botox goes into the dermis,

so the depths are different and they do not interfere with each other.

However, the forehead has thin skin,

so the depths of wrinkle Botox and Skin Botox

can end up being almost the same.

When treating the forehead,

this is taken into account and the dosage is adjusted.

✅ 8. Is it more effective if combined with other treatments?

It can be combined with most treatments.

If you are particularly focused on skin care,

using it together with Rejuran HB

can add hydration

and create a much more radiant effect.

Depending on your skin concerns,

the combination is adjusted.

If sebum is a problem,

Skin Botox + Rejuran HB is a good combination.

People with excess sebum often actually have skin that is dry

due to overactive sebaceous glands.

So when combined with Rejuran HB,

which helps replenish moisture,

it can control sebum

and restore hydration at the same time.

✅ 9. How much is used for the full face?

The amount used varies by area.

For the jawline alone, 2–4 cc,

for the nasolabial area around the nose, 3–4 cc,

and for the forehead, about 2 cc.

For the full face,

about 8 cc is typical.

The dosage is adjusted depending on the area and purpose,

so during your consultation,

it helps to explain which part concerns you the most in detail.

✅ 10. What is the 기준 for having received Skin Botox well?

The 기준 I think of has three parts.

A feeling that the skin has become firm and tightened,

a remaining dewy glow,

and no discomfort at all when making facial expressions.

If these three are all satisfied at the same time,

I think the Skin Botox was done well.

If the skin looks better but the expression feels awkward,

that is not a successful procedure.

Keeping it natural

while clearly improving the skin,

that is the goal of Skin Botox.

Skin Botox is

not simply a treatment that smooths wrinkles.

It is a treatment that improves the skin’s overall texture

while addressing sebum, sweat, and fine lines at the same time.

Making the skin firmer naturally

without affecting facial expressions,

that is the real appeal of Skin Botox.
