Treatment Overview
Baby Face Botox involves injecting diluted botulinum toxin into the superficial layers of the skin rather than deep into the muscles. This creates a skin-smoothing, pore-tightening, and rejuvenating effect, while still allowing normal facial movements.
The treatment is often combined with other Korean dermatology anti-aging procedures—such as skin boosters, laser toning, or cryo facials—for enhanced results.
Purpose and Benefits
- Fine Line Softening: Smooths tiny wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, and mouth.
- Pore Tightening: Reduces pore size for a polished, baby-smooth texture.
- Skin Refinement: Improves tone, texture, and elasticity.
- Sebum Control: Helps regulate oil production, reducing shine and acne breakouts.
- Radiance Boost: Restores a fresh, youthful glow associated with Korean “glass skin.”
- Natural Results: Maintains normal expressions while subtly enhancing appearance.
Ideal Candidates
- Adults in their late 20s to 40s beginning to notice early aging signs.
- Individuals with fine lines, enlarged pores, or rough skin texture.
- Patients who want preventive anti-aging treatments before deep wrinkles form.
- Those with oily skin or acne-prone skin seeking oil-control benefits.
- Anyone seeking natural, subtle rejuvenation without surgery.
Possible Risks and Complications
- Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites.
- Temporary tightness or minor discomfort.
- Rare risks include uneven results or mild allergic reactions.
- Very safe when performed by licensed dermatologists in Korea.
Surgical Techniques Used
- Micro-Injections: Botox is diluted and injected into the dermis using fine needles.
- Baby-Dose Toxin: Smaller, gentler doses compared to traditional Botox for subtle refinement.
- Full-Face Coverage: Targeting cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose to reduce pores and fine lines.
- Customized Approach: Adjusted based on skin type, oil levels, and aging signs.
- Combination Care: May be paired with laser toning, skin boosters, or cryotherapy for optimal anti-aging.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Immediately After: Mild redness or pinprick marks that fade within hours to a day.
- One to Three Days: Skin feels smoother and tighter.
- One to Two Weeks: Full results appear—pores shrink, fine lines soften, and skin glows.
- Downtime: Minimal, most patients resume activities the same day.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid alcohol, saunas, and intense exercise for 24 hours.
- Do not massage or press on treated areas.
- Apply sunscreen daily to protect results.
- Hydrate well to maintain a fresh look.
Results and Longevity
- Immediate: Skin feels fresher and more refined within days.
- Short-Term (Two to Four Weeks): Visible reduction in pores, oil production, and fine lines.
- Medium-Term (Three to Six Months): Youthful glow and smoothness last with maintenance sessions.
- Long-Term: Consistent sessions help prevent deeper wrinkle formation and maintain baby-like skin texture.
