While traditional Botox injections target muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, skin Botox targets sweat and oil glands, as well as tiny muscles in the skin, to improve overall skin quality and appearance.
Skin Botox is commonly used to treat areas with excess oil production, enlarged pores, and fine lines and wrinkles, such as the forehead, cheeks, chin, and neck.
During the procedure, a topical numbing cream may be applied to the skin to minimize discomfort. The diluted Botox solution is then injected into the superficial layers of the skin using a fine needle in a grid-like pattern across the treatment area.
