(Top Reviewer 5th Term) I want to try the skin Botox procedure.

As I reach middle age, I notice that my face has lost its vitality and looks saggy all over. I tend to develop forehead wrinkles earlier than others, so I usually cover my forehead with bangs or similar hairstyles.

I became interested because some of my acquaintances also get Botox for wrinkles, so I searched and found out about a skin Botox procedure that is said to improve elasticity and facial expression, so I looked into it.

I didn't know until now, but it turns out that not only ordinary people but also celebrities undergo skin care with this procedure.

So I also searched about the effects, side effects, and duration of skin Botox.

Skin Botox is Botox lightly injected into the dermis layer, as the name suggests. In contrast, the typical wrinkle Botox we receive involves direct injections into facial muscles to control expression muscles. Skin Botox is said to involve holding the skin and injecting shallowly into the epidermis layer. The biggest difference between muscle Botox and skin Botox lies in the depth of the injection.

It seems that placing it in the dermis layer rather than the muscle layer, as shown in the picture, would be more effective.

1. Soft impression through wrinkle improvement

2. Skin is smooth and firm

3. Pore tightening effect

4. Acne improvement effect

5. Lifting effect

6. Redness relief effect

People for whom skin Botox is effective

For those with dry skin that easily shows fine lines or dull skin, and for individuals with severe vertical neck wrinkles, this treatment is effective. However, it is less effective for improving sagging nasolabial folds, deep wrinkles around the mouth, or horizontal wrinkles on the bridge of the nose.

While searching, I found before and after photos of skin Botox procedures, so I brought them.

The wrinkles that were present before the procedure appear to have softened after the procedure, showing visible results in just one week.

The interval between skin Botox treatments is generally recommended to be at least 3 months, as the resistance tends to be higher compared to regular wrinkle Botox treatments.

Immediately after the procedure, bruising and swelling can last for about a week, and many people report that it is painful or uncomfortable.

The areas for skin Botox treatment include the forehead, glabella, under the eyes, cheeks, chin, and the front of the head, excluding the nose.

The procedure time is approximately 15 to 20 minutes, so it's not very long.

Skin Botox is most effective 7 to 15 days after the procedure and its effects last up to three months.

I'm interested in seeing the skin become smoother and wrinkles diminish after the procedure, but since it's said to be quite painful, honestly, I have a hard time tolerating pain, so I'm a bit hesitant to go through with it. However, I will look for more detailed information and think it over.
