MicroBotox: A settle approach to smoother skin
We want to prevent the formation of wrinkles and fine lines with Neurotoxins but what about those that have formed already? Or what if you are suffering from oily, sweaty skin? Microbotox can subtly tighten your skin, reduce oiliness, reduce redness, and improve acne scars without affecting your facial muscles.
What is Microbotox?
Microbotox, also known as "Mesobotox," is a refined technique that uses diluted doses of Botox (Botulinum Toxin) to achieve subtle, natural-looking skin improvements. Unlike traditional Botox, which targets deeper muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles, Microbotox is injected superficially into the skin to smooth fine lines, reduce pore size, and improve overall skin texture. This treatment is ideal for individuals seeking a gentle, non-invasive option for facial rejuvenation without the "frozen" look often associated with regular Botox.
How Does Microbotox Work?
Microbotox involves injecting tiny amounts of diluted Botox into the dermis, the middle layer of the skin, rather than the underlying muscles. This superficial application targets the small muscles attached to hair follicles and sweat glands, leading to a tightening effect on the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and minimizing pores. Additionally, Microbotox can reduce oil production and sweat, making it an excellent option for those with oily skin or prone to breakouts.
Benefits of Microbotox
- Natural-Looking Results: Provides a subtle enhancement that smooths the skin without affecting facial expressions.
- Minimized Pores: Helps reduce the size of pores, resulting in a more refined skin texture.
- Improved Skin Tone and redness: Tightens the skin and evens out the complexion for a more youthful appearance.
- Reduced Oil Production: Decreases sebum production, making it beneficial for individuals with oily or acne-prone skin.
