What is Korean Botulinum Toxin ?



What is “Skin Botulinum Toxin ” for Glass Skin?

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to achieve perfect skin – as smooth as glass – without the frustration of using serums or multi-step routines? Thanks to aesthetic innovations from Korea, our Troy, MI area patients can now make that wish a reality. An innovative new injectable treatment, known as both “glass skin” and “Skin Botulinum Toxin ”, is performed by targeting the outer layers of the face using micro-injections of Botulinum Toxin .

The Skin Botulinum Toxin treatment is the latest development from South Korea, the “Skin Capital of the World.” And now, the same incredible results of Skin Botulinum Toxin are available to patients in the Troy, MI area.

In this article, board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali sheds some light on the new Skin Botulinum Toxin trend that has recently made waves in the field of medical skin care.

Skin Botulinum Toxin vs Traditional Botulinum Toxin 

Before the Skin Botulinum Toxin technique made its way to the Troy, MI area, Botulinum Toxin was primarily used to treat wrinkles, with the product injected into the patient’s muscles. Now, by injecting Botulinum Toxin into the outer layer of the skin, patients are able to experience the product’s lifting properties in the skin of the treatment area itself. The end result is the flawless appearance that has earned Skin Botulinum Toxin the alternate name of “Glass Skin.”

Traditional Botulinum Toxin causes the facial muscles into which it has been injected to weaken. In doing so, traditional Botulinum Toxin is able to iron out deep creases and prevent them from developing further. Historically, our Troy, MI area patients seek out traditional Botulinum Toxin to treat wrinkles in specific areas, such as laugh lines, crow’s feet, or forehead wrinkles. Conversely, the Skin Botulinum Toxin  procedure targets the outer layer and pores of the skin itself. The end result is a smoothing “glass-like” effect that is all-encompassing.

The Skin Botulinum Toxin (“Glass Skin”) Procedure

Our Troy, MI area patients will notice a number of differences between Skin Botulinum Toxin and traditional Botulinum Toxin injections. First of all, Skin Botulinum Toxin is injected into what is sometimes called the “edge” of the skin: the area just below the skin’s surface, whereas traditional Botulinum Toxin  is injected deeply into the muscles of the treatment area.

Skin Botulinum Toxin is performed using “micro doses” of Botulinum Toxin . During Skin Botulinum Toxin treatment, Troy, MI area patients will undergo a series of roughly 40 – 50 injections along their under-eye, forehead, and jawline, each of which delivers a tiny amount of Botulinum Toxin . While traditional usually only involves three to five injections, the treatment requires the needle be inserted significantly deeper than during Skin Botulinum Toxin .

Results of Skin Botulinum Toxin (“Glass Skin”)

The “Glass Skin” effect sought after by our Troy, MI area patients is the product of the Skin Botulinum Toxin treatment’s effect on the pores. Skin Botulinum Toxin causes the patient’s pores to tighten, which reduces their appearance significantly. In this way, the skin is left looking brighter, smoother, and fresher.

While Troy, MI area Skin Botulinum Toxin patients may see their facial creases fade, the procedure is less effective than its traditional alternative in treating excessively deep wrinkles. For reducing the finest facial lines, however, Skin Botulinum Toxin is remarkably effective.

But while patients flock to our Troy, MI area med spa for the famous “Glass Skin” results, the benefits of Skin Botulinum Toxin are much more than simply aesthetic. Thanks to the pore-shrinking properties of the procedure, Skin Botulinum Toxin is able to reduce the skin’s production of blemish-causing oil and sweat. As a result, Troy, MI area patients who choose Skin Botulinum Toxin are less likely to experience breakouts. Excess forehead sweating can also be reduced and even eliminated with Skin Botulinum Toxin treatments!

Additionally, Troy, MI Skin Botulinum Toxin patients can rest easy knowing their procedure will not result in them experiencing the heavy feeling many traditional Botulinum Toxin  patients often feel in their eyes. And since Skin Botulinum Toxin is performed with superficial “micro-injections,” the procedure should in no way affect the muscles responsible for facial expression.

Results from Skin Botulinum Toxin never look as though the patient has “had work done.” Rather, our Troy, MI area clients simply look like a fresher, healthier version of themselves – with smooth, clear, “glass skin” free from oil and blemishes.
