Skin Botox
Toxin placed evenly in the upper skin to refine texture and pores
Skin Botox places diluted botulinum toxin evenly in the upper layer of the skin as tiny droplets. Unlike regular Botox, which targets muscles, it is used for the skin itself — texture, pores, fine lines and oiliness.

What it is
What is Skin Botox?
Skin Botox places the toxin densely near the dermis rather than at muscle depth. It is priced per 3cc, with a choice of Newlux, Coretox, Xeomin, Allergan or Dysport.
It can cover the whole face evenly or focus on areas of concern such as the cheeks or forehead, so the area is decided after examination.
How it works
How it works
Toxin in the upper skin acts on oil glands, the tiny muscles around pores and sweat glands, aiming to reduce oiliness, prominent pores and fine lines. Larger muscle movements are left largely untouched so expressions stay natural.

The process
How a visit works
Consultation & AI skin analysis
An AI skin analysis records where your skin is today; one of our co-directors then examines you and decides whether to treat, how strongly and where.
Preparation
After cleansing, numbing cream is applied and the area to be treated is set.
Treatment
A fine needle places very small amounts densely in the upper layer of the skin.
After your visit
After a calming finish you go home with instructions while the marks settle.
Aftercare
Recovery & aftercare
- Small raised marks or red dots usually settle within a few hours to a couple of days.
- Bruising is occasional and usually fades within a few days.
- On the day, avoid saunas, heavy drinking and rubbing the face hard when cleansing.
Sessions & spacing
Changes are usually felt within one to two weeks, and maintenance is reviewed about every three to four months.
