The treatment

What is skin Botox?

Standard Botox is injected into muscles to stop expression lines. Skin Botox uses the same toxin, diluted and spread as many shallow micro-injections across the face, often the cheeks, forehead, jawline or neck. At this depth it mainly acts on the tiny muscles attached to the skin and on oil and sweat glands rather than on the main facial muscles.

The result is skin that tends to look smoother and less shiny, with pores that appear smaller and fine crepey lines that are softer, often described as a "glass skin" effect. It does not freeze expressions. Skin Botox is listed in our Botox range and pairs well with skin booster injections for hydration.

Who is a good candidate for skin Botox?

  • Enlarged-looking pores on the cheeks or nose area
  • Oily skin or a shiny T-zone
  • Fine crepey lines and uneven skin texture
  • Mild redness or flushing in some cases
  • A light lifting effect on the jawline and neck

Skin Botox will not fill deep wrinkles, acne scars or volume loss; these need other treatments. It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active skin infection or inflamed acne in the area, or with certain neuromuscular conditions. The doctor checks your skin and decides the areas and dose.

Step by step

How the treatment works

  1. Consultation

    The doctor looks at pores, oiliness and fine lines and agrees the areas, toxin brand and amount.

  2. Numbing

    Numbing cream is applied for about 20–30 minutes so the micro-injections are comfortable.

  3. Micro-injections

    Many tiny, shallow injections are spread evenly across the planned areas.

  4. Aftercare

    Small bumps settle within hours. Avoid makeup for a few hours and skip saunas, alcohol and exfoliating products that day.

Visiting from abroad

Tips for international patients

  • Schedule skin Botox a few days before an event; small bumps and marks fade quickly but allow a margin.
  • Combine with a skin booster in the same visit for both hydration and refinement.
  • Use gentle skincare and SPF for the first few days.
  • Ask on WhatsApp which toxin option suits your budget.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between skin Botox and regular Botox?

Regular Botox is injected into muscles to relax expression lines. Skin Botox is diluted and injected shallowly to improve pores, oiliness and texture without freezing expressions.

How long does skin Botox last?

Results typically last around 2–3 months, and many people repeat it a few times a year.

Does skin Botox hurt?

Numbing cream is applied first, so most people feel only light pricks.

Is there downtime after skin Botox?

Small raised bumps usually settle within a few hours, and occasional tiny bruises fade within days.

Does skin Botox shrink pores?

Pores cannot be permanently shrunk, but by reducing oil and tightening the skin surface, skin Botox often makes them look smaller.

How much does skin Botox cost in Seoul?

At Egg Clinic, skin Botox is published from ₩50,000 per 1cc (domestic) up to ₩250,000 per 1cc (Allergan). The doctor confirms the amount you need.
