What is Skin botox?
Botulinum toxin treatment uses a highly purified neurotoxin that is safely injected in carefully controlled doses to temporarily relax targeted muscles.
Skin Botox offers three main benefits:
First, it helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and fine lines.
Second, it improves skin texture, firmness, and redness.
Third, it provides a tightening effect along the jawline.
When will you see results? Is there any downtime?
Onset and duration of results (same as botox):
The effects typically begin to appear within one to two weeks and usually last for about three to four months. In some patients, the results may last for up to six months.
Dermia’s personalized skin botox:
At Dermia, we carefully assess the appearance of enlarged pores, fine lines, and overall skin firmness, while also taking the time to understand each patient’s individual needs and aesthetic goals. Based on this evaluation, Skin Botox is precisely administered to the areas where it will be most effective.
