Botulinum Toxin Type A
Skin Botox
MIMISOME Clinic Busan Deokcheon · 33 Mandeok-daero, Buk-gu, Busan (2–3F) · 3 min from Deokcheon Station Exit 12
A treatment that places highly diluted botulinum toxin in a dense pattern just under the skin surface. Unlike regular Botox, which relaxes the expression muscles, it acts only on the tiny muscles and the oil and sweat glands right beneath the skin, refining pores, texture, fine lines and shine so the skin looks smoother. It is done with ice cooling only, and you return to your day right away.

How it works
Small amounts are injected into the superficial skin layer at 0.5–1 cm intervals. The toxin slightly relaxes the fine muscles attached to the skin so fine lines smooth out and the surface looks tauter, and it reduces secretion from the oil and sweat glands so pores look smaller and shine settles. It does not reach the deeper muscles, so your expressions stay as they are. The dose is divided by area — whole face, forehead, around the eyes or neck. MIMISOME BUSAN uses four products — Hitox, Coretox and Innotox (Korea) and Xeomin (Merz, Germany); they differ in duration and resistance risk, so the product is chosen together at consultation to suit your goal.
Ideal for
- Pores and rough texture
- Oily, shiny skin
- Fine lines spread widely across the face
- Refining the skin while keeping expression intact
