What it is
A Korean menu term for superficial botulinum-toxin microinjections; it is not the same plan as standard muscle Botox.
Very small injections are placed superficially across a treatment area. Product, dilution and depth vary because ‘skin Botox’ is a technique category rather than one standardized protocol.
Who it may suit
Adults with a clearly assessed muscle-related concern who want a temporary, non-surgical option.
Who needs extra review
Pregnancy or breastfeeding, infection at the injection site, certain neuromuscular conditions or interacting medicines require medical review.
