Start here — direct answer
What is Skin Botox, and what does it do?
Skin Botox
, also called microbotox or mesobotox, uses botulinum toxin diluted several times more than for wrinkles and placed in dozens of tiny intradermal injections across the face instead of into the muscles beneath. At that depth and dilution it does not relax expression; it acts on the small muscles attached to pores and hair follicles, on the sweat and oil glands, and on the very superficial muscle fibres that create fine crinkling, so pores look smaller, the skin is less oily and the surface looks smoother and tighter, the finish patients call glass skin.
At Boom Dermatology in Seomyeon we suggest skin Botox for oily, large-pored skin that lasers have not solved, for fine crepe on the cheeks and under the eyes, and before events and trips when a smooth, matte finish matters. It pairs with pico toning
for tone and with a booster
for hydration; it is not a replacement for wrinkle Botox, which treats the deeper muscles.
What Busan patients ask before Skin Botox
My pores are the thing I notice in every photograph and nothing has helped.
Will this stop my face moving? I do not want to look stiff.
My skin gets oily by lunchtime no matter what I use on it.
Is this just regular Botox spread thinner, or something different?
Will one session do anything, or is this another course?
All of these come up most weeks at our Seomyeon skin clinic. The page answers them in order.

Questions, answered properly
Does skin Botox actually shrink pores?
It makes them look smaller, which is what you see in the mirror. Pore size is set by the follicle, but what makes a pore visible is oil, the tiny erector muscle that pulls it open, and the crepe of the skin around it. Microbotox quietens all three for two to three months, so pores appear tighter and the surface smoother. For pores that are etched or scarred, the structure needs remodelling with RF microneedling, and the doctor will say which you have.
What exactly is being diluted, and why?
The same botulinum toxin used for wrinkles, mixed with several times more saline, so each of the dozens of injections carries a tiny dose. Placed in the dermis rather than the muscle, that dose cannot reach the expression muscles, which is why your face keeps moving. It is a different technique, not a weaker version of wrinkle Botox.
Does skin Botox affect facial expression?
No, when it is placed correctly. The doctor at our Seomyeon skin clinic keeps the points intradermal and the dose per point tiny; expression comes from muscles well below that layer. The one area treated with extra care is the forehead on a low brow, where even a diluted dose is kept away from the lifting muscle.
How does microbotox reduce oil?
Botulinum toxin blocks the nerve signal to the sebaceous glands as well as to muscles, so the glands produce less oil for the duration of the effect. Patients with lunchtime shine usually notice the change in the second week, and it is the reason skin Botox is popular in humid Busan summers.
Is one session worth doing on a short trip?
Yes, for an event or for a first try: one session gives two to three months of a smoother, matte finish. For a lasting change in pores, two or three sessions over six months hold longer. Either way you buy one session at a time at Boom Dermatology.
