Skin Botox in Seoul
Skin Botox is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment designed to smooth fine lines, improve skin texture, and reduce excess oil production. Using ultra-micro doses of botulinum toxin injected superficially into the skin, Skin Botox enhances skin quality while maintaining natural facial movement.

What is Skin Botox ?
Skin Botox, sometimes referred to as micro-Botox, involves injecting very small amounts of botulinum toxin into the upper layers of the skin rather than deep facial muscles. This technique targets surface-level concerns such as fine wrinkles, enlarged pores, and uneven texture without causing stiffness or a frozen appearance.
How Skin Botox works
The entire process usually takes 10 to 20 minutes.
