Skin Botox in Busan Seomyeon.
Tighter pores, smoother surface,
glass-skin glow.
Skin botox (also called microbotox or baby botox) uses tiny superficial injections of diluted botulinum toxin to tighten pores, reduce oil production, and create the coveted Korean 'glass skin' finish — without affecting muscle movement.
At a glance.
The Korean secret to pores so small they disappear in natural light.
Skin botox(microbotox, baby botox, or mesobotox) is a specialized technique where diluted botulinum toxin is injected at multiple superficial points across the skin's surface — not into facial muscles. This shrinks sebaceous glands, reduces pore visibility, and controls excess oil. The result is the glass skin glow that defines Korean beauty — smooth, refined, luminous. At Newline Clinic, one-area Skin Botox is priced from ₩40,000 with Liztox and full-area protocols start from ₩120,000 with Liztox. Brand and treatment area are selected after physician assessment.
The science
,
simplified.
Understanding the mechanism helps you set realistic expectations and choose the right brand for your goals.
The microinjection technique
Unlike traditional botox (deep into muscle), skin botox uses dozens of tiny injections just beneath the skin surface. Each injection delivers a very small dose — too low to affect muscle function, but enough to affect skin-level glands.
Sebaceous gland reduction
The diluted toxin affects sebaceous (oil) glands in the dermis, reducing oil production. Less oil = smaller pores = less shine and acne susceptibility.
Surface muscle relaxation
Superficial 'frown' muscles that pull skin downward are subtly relaxed, creating a smoother resting skin surface without compromising facial expression.
Glass skin result
Within 1–2 weeks, skin texture refines. Pores appear smaller, oil production is controlled, and the face reflects light evenly — the 'glass skin' look. Results last approximately 3 months.
