A treatment that places diluted botulinum toxin in many tiny, shallow injections into the dermis to improve pores, fine lines, oiliness and skin texture.

What is it?

Unlike regular Botox, which targets muscles, Skin Botox delivers tiny amounts of diluted toxin within the dermis. It acts on the arrector pili muscles, oil glands and sweat glands, so pores look tighter, oil and shine are reduced, and the skin surface becomes smoother. Since the goal isn't to freeze muscles, your expressions stay natural.

Who it's for

Enlarged pores, rough skin texture
Fine lines (superficial lines around the eyes, cheeks, etc.)
Excess oil and shine
Results: tighter-looking texture and pores, and makeup that goes on more smoothly — we make clear this is not a "lifting treatment"

At Datena
