Quick answer
What is skin Botox?
Skin Botox (also called micro-Botox or derma-toxin) uses very diluted botulinum toxin injected in many tiny, shallow points across the face or neck. Instead of freezing expression, it acts on the surface muscle fibres, oil glands and sweat glands to make skin look smoother, tighter-pored and less shiny.
It is popular in Seoul before events and as part of a glass-skin routine. It is often paired with hydrating boosters such as SkinVive for added glow.

Your visit
How Skin Botox works at Umi
Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.
- Skin check
The doctor looks at pore size, oiliness, fine lines and laxity to choose treatment zones.
- Numbing
Numbing cream for about 20–30 minutes.
- Micro-injections
Many tiny shallow injections or a multi-needle device distribute the diluted toxin evenly.
- Aftercare
Small bumps settle within hours. Skip make-up, saunas and exercise for the rest of the day.
Before & after
How skin Botox refines texture
Diluted toxin in the upper skin reduces oil output and fine muscle pull, so pores look smaller and the surface smoother.
Injection bumps fade; skin looks normal.
Less oiliness and a smoother surface.
Effect fades; repeat or combine with boosters.

FAQ
Skin Botox questions
Will skin Botox freeze my expressions?
No. It is very diluted and placed superficially, so normal movement remains.
Does it help acne?
By reducing oil production it may help oily, acne-prone skin, but active acne needs its own treatment plan.
Can it be done on the neck?
Yes. Skin Botox on the neck can soften fine lines and neck bands.
How is it different from skin boosters?
Skin Botox reduces oil and muscle pull; boosters add hydration and support collagen. Many people combine both.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
