The Pore Tightening Effect of Skin Botox: What You Need to Know

What is the Pore Tightening Effect of Skin Botox?

The Mechanism Behind Pore Tightening:

Botox works by blocking the signals that stimulate the secretion of sebum and sweat. This reduces the production of sweat and oil. At the same time, pores tend to open up when sweat or sebum is released. Therefore, by reducing the secretion of these substances, Botox helps tighten the pores.

Differences Between Skin Botox and Other Treatments:

There are three main causes of enlarged pores:

Clogged Pores:
Thick hair or sebaceous plugs can push open pores, leading to enlargement. Treatments like hair removal or peeling can help with this.
Sagging:
As we age, our pores may enlarge due to skin laxity. CO2 fractional lasers, dermapens, needle RF, and PN products are effective for this.
Excessive Sebum Production:
When sebum is secreted, pores open up. Botox is effective for this cause.

Skin Botox for Beautiful Skin Effects:

The effects can be seen from 3 days to 1 week, and can last up to 3-4 months.
As sebum production decreases, the skin feels smoother and less oily. Pores become tightened, and makeup lasts longer.

Skin Botox Procedure: Step-by-Step Process:

Many people use anesthetic cream before the procedure.
After applying the cream, let it sit for about 30 minutes.
Once the anesthesia is washed off, the injections are made.
Botox is injected shallowly into the skin, with about 40 to 60 small injections.
The procedure is finished once hemostasis is achieved.

Pain and Anesthesia Information:

Most people use anesthetic cream.
After applying the cream, wait for about 30 minutes before proceeding.

Post-Treatment Care and Precautions:

Once hemostasis is achieved, makeup can be applied.
You can go about your daily routine without restrictions.

Effect Duration of Skin Botox:

The effects begin to show 3 to 7 days after the procedure and can last from 3 to 4 months.

Individual Differences and Risks:

The results may vary depending on the amount of sebum in the skin.
A reduction in sebum might cause dryness.
If Botox is injected too deeply, it may affect the muscles, leading to unintended side effects. Therefore, it’s important to inject as superficially as possible.

Post-Treatment Observation:

No special follow-up is required after the procedure.

Disadvantages and Risks of Skin Botox:

Side Effects and Risks:

Dryness may occur due to the reduction in sebum.
If Botox is injected too deeply, it may affect the muscles and cause unexpected side effects. Always aim for shallow injections.

Possibility of Bruising and Redness:

Due to the multiple injection points, bruising may occur.
Additionally, red spots from the injection sites may remain for 2-3 days.

Long-Term Impact Considerations:

Dry skin can make the skin more susceptible to external irritants.
It's important to maintain proper hydration to sustain smooth skin in the long term.
