What is Dermatoxin?
Dermatoxin is a technique rather than a separate product. Instead of injecting Botox deep into a muscle, as with wrinkle Botox, the doctor uses a diluted solution and places many tiny injections just under the skin's surface. At this level, the toxin acts on oil glands, sweat glands and the very superficial muscle fibres attached to the skin.
The result can be less shine, smaller-looking pores, finer skin texture and softening of fine crepey lines, while normal expressions are preserved. It is offered at Egg Clinic as skin Botox and is often combined with skin boosters for hydration and glow.
Who is a good candidate for Dermatoxin?
- Oily skin or a shiny T-zone
- Enlarged-looking pores on the cheeks or nose
- Fine lines and uneven or rough texture
- Redness-prone or flushing skin, as judged by the doctor
- People wanting smoother skin without a frozen look
Dermatoxin should be avoided during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with certain neuromuscular conditions, active acne cysts or infection in the area, or a known allergy to botulinum toxin. It refines skin rather than lifting it, so deep wrinkles or sagging may need a different treatment. The doctor will explain whether it suits your skin type.

How the treatment works
-
Consultation
The doctor examines your skin, discusses oiliness, pores and lines, and maps the areas to treat.
-
Numbing
Numbing cream is applied for about 20–30 minutes.
-
Micro-injections
Many tiny injections of diluted Botox are placed evenly into the upper skin with a fine needle or injector.
-
Aftercare
Small bumps usually flatten within a few hours. Avoid makeup for the rest of the day, and skip saunas, alcohol and facial massage for a day.
Tips for international patients
- Dermatoxin has little downtime, so it fits well into a busy travel schedule.
- Book at least a week before an event so the oil-control effect has time to develop.
- Ask about combining it with a skin booster for hydration in the same visit.
- Message us on WhatsApp with your skin concerns before your trip.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Dermatoxin and regular Botox?
Regular Botox is injected into muscles to relax wrinkles, while Dermatoxin uses diluted Botox placed into the upper skin to target oil, pores and texture without freezing expressions.
How long does Dermatoxin last?
Results typically last around three to four months, and many people repeat it a few times a year.
Does Dermatoxin reduce pores?
It can make pores look smaller by reducing oil production and tightening the skin surface. It does not remove pores, and results vary.
Does Dermatoxin hurt?
Numbing cream is applied first, so most people feel light pricking. The treatment takes around 15 to 30 minutes.
Is there downtime after Dermatoxin?
Small bumps usually settle within a few hours. Tiny bruises are possible but usually fade within a few days.
How much does Dermatoxin cost in Seoul?
The price depends on the Botox brand and amount, so the doctor confirms it at consultation. See the skin Botox price list.
