Discomfort is rated after numbing (out of 5). Time, downtime and longevity vary with the treated area and the individual.

Also known as: micro Botox, mesobotox, dermotoxin

Skin Botox (micro-botox) places diluted toxin in tiny amounts into the superficial skin rather than the muscle, to reduce oiliness and the look of pores and smooth fine lines while keeping natural expression.

Skin Botox is subtle — think less shine and smoother makeup, not a dramatic change.
