What Is Skin Botox?

What Is Skin Botox?

Hello 😊
I’m Dr. Kim Yeon Jin, Medical Director of UH CELL Gangnam (formerly Dr. Petit Clinic Gangnam), located in Gangnam, Seoul, the center of Korean aesthetic medicine.

Our team is always committed to providing personalized care and creating a comfortable, satisfying experience for every patient.

It’s already December.

As the weather in Seoul has become much colder recently, many people may find it harder to go out. During this time of year,
interest in simple and convenient Korean aesthetic treatments tends to increase.

So today, we’d like to introduce a treatment that continues to be popular in Gangnam.

Have you heard of Skin Botox (also known as Skin Toxin or intradermal botulinum toxin)?

This treatment is frequently requested at Korean aesthetic clinics in Seoul and offers a different approach compared to the traditional Botox treatments that many people know.

Allergan vs Xeomin: What’s the Difference?

When most people think of Botox, they usually imagine injections focused on specific areas, such as the jaw muscles or targeted wrinkle areas.

However, Skin Botox is performed differently.
It uses a superficial injection technique, delivering small amounts of botulinum toxin evenly across the face to improve overall skin quality.

This is a treatment I have performed since my days at Dr. Petit Clinic Gangnam, and it remains a popular Korean aesthetic treatment at UH CELL Gangnam in Seoul.

The main ingredient in Botox is botulinum toxin,

which works by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine at the connection between nerves and muscles, helping to relax muscle activity.

As a result, it can help soften wrinkles and reduce muscle tension.

Skin Botox uses the same ingredient but applies it differently—rather than concentrating on one specific area, it is injected in small amounts across the face to improve overall skin appearance.

So, what kind of results can you expect?

During consultations for Korean aesthetic treatments in Gangnam, Seoul, one of the benefits we often discuss is achieving a more naturally refined and improved skin appearance.

Skin Botox can help improve various skin concerns, including:

• Refined-looking pores
• Softer fine lines
• Smoother skin texture
• Reduced appearance of redness

When applied to the jawline, it may also help create a more defined and slimmer facial contour.

Because it primarily targets the dermal layer rather than deeply affecting facial muscles, Skin Botox helps maintain natural facial expressions while improving overall skin quality.

After the treatment, you may experience a slight feeling of heaviness or tightness.

While this varies from person to person, it usually improves naturally within 2–3 weeks. Even for those experiencing Korean aesthetic treatments in Seoul for the first time, there is no need to worry.

Many patients are curious about the cost as well, right?

Prices can vary depending on the Korean aesthetic clinic, including those in Gangnam, Seoul.
In general, Skin Botox treatments are usually priced between around 100,000 to 400,000 KRW.

At UH CELL Gangnam in Seoul, we aim to make Korean aesthetic treatments more accessible by offering reasonable pricing while maintaining personalized care.

The cost may vary depending on the product selected and each patient’s individual needs and skin condition.

Another common question patients ask is about

the difference between Korean and imported Botox products.

While the basic effects are generally considered similar, one of the main differences discussed is the potential risk of developing resistance.

It is sometimes suggested that Korean products may have a slightly higher chance of resistance compared to imported products due to differences in purity.

Of course, the possibility of developing resistance is generally low.
If it does occur, a temporary break from treatment may be recommended.

Imported products may offer the advantage of a lower resistance risk, but they also come with a different price range.
At UH CELL Gangnam, we recommend discussing your skin condition, treatment goals, and budget with our medical team before making a decision.

Today, we introduced Skin Botox,

one of the most consistently popular Korean aesthetic treatments. 🙂
