Skin Botox Pore Shrinking & Glass-Skin Texture in Gangnam Seoul
Skin Botox delivers micro-doses of botulinum toxin directly into the dermis to shrink pores, suppress oil production, and create a refined glass-like texture without affecting facial expressions. Available as part of RE:BERRY Gangnam’s Signature Hydra Glow Package from ₩1,290,000 or the Smooth Texture Glow Package at ₩1,490,000.
What Is Skin Botox?
Skin Botox is a micro-dose intradermal botulinum toxin technique that shrinks pores, controls oil, and smooths skin texture without freezing facial expressions. At RE:BERRY Gangnam Seoul, Skin Botox is included in the Signature Hydra Glow Package at ₩1,290,000, performed exclusively by Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu or Dr. Yejin Oh.
Unlike standard wrinkle Botox injected deep into muscles to paralyze dynamic wrinkles, Skin Botox stays superficial. Diluted botulinum toxin is distributed in micro-doses across the skin’s surface through dozens of tiny injection points at 1-2 mm depth, targeting three intradermal structures responsible for skin quality: (1) arrector pili muscles that control pore diameter, (2) sebaceous glands that produce excess oil, and (3) eccrine sweat glands that cause facial perspiration. The result is visibly smaller pores, matte oil-free skin, reduced facial sweating, and a smoother, glass-like skin finish — all without any impact on your ability to smile, frown, or make natural expressions. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Skin Botox is a core component of two popular packages. The Signature Hydra Glow Package (₩1,290,000) combines Skin Botox with Juberry 6cc skin booster, Re2O exosome therapy, and LDM ultrasound for comprehensive hydration and pore treatment. The Signature Smooth Texture Glow Package (₩1,490,000) adds Potenza RF microneedling for patients with deeper pore enlargement or acne scarring. All Skin Botox treatments at RE:BERRY Gangnam use genuine Allergan Botox and are performed exclusively by our physicians, who control injection depth to stay precisely within the dermis.

How Skin Botox Works at RE:BERRY Gangnam
A four-step physician-led protocol for comprehensive pore reduction and skin texture refinement using Skin Botox.
Skin Analysis & Consultation
Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu or Dr. Yejin Oh examines your skin under magnification to map pore size distribution, measure oil production levels with a Sebumeter, and identify texture irregularities. Based on the analysis, the physician recommends standalone Skin Botox or one of the combined packages — the Signature Hydra Glow Package or the Signature Smooth Texture Glow Package — depending on your skin type, pore severity, and goals. This is also the time to discuss combining Skin Botox with other treatments like glass skin laser toning or Rejuran healer for enhanced results.
Topical Numbing & Preparation
Numbing cream is applied for 20 minutes to ensure comfort throughout the micro-injection process. While the numbing takes effect, the physician prepares genuine Allergan botulinum toxin, diluting it to the precise concentration required for intradermal delivery. The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed following aseptic protocol. Each element of the Skin Botox preparation is calibrated to your specific skin thickness and treatment area.
Micro-Dose Intradermal Injection
Using fine-gauge 30-32G needles, the physician injects diluted botulinum toxin into the dermis in a precise grid pattern across the forehead, cheeks, T-zone, and chin. Each injection delivers a micro-dose at a controlled depth of 1-2 mm — deep enough to reach the arrector pili muscles and sebaceous glands, but superficial enough to spare the underlying facial muscles completely. Typically 30-50 units are distributed across 40-60+ injection points. The entire Skin Botox injection process takes approximately 15-20 minutes.
Soothing Care & Aftercare
A calming mask and LED therapy are applied post-treatment to soothe the skin and reduce any redness from the micro-injections. You receive aftercare instructions in your preferred language (8 languages available). Tiny injection marks from Skin Botox resolve within hours, and you can apply light makeup the next day. Initial pore-shrinking and oil-control effects from Skin Botox begin appearing within 3-7 days, with peak results at 2-3 weeks.
What to Expect from Skin Botox at RE:BERRY Gangnam
- Visible Pore Shrinking Micro-dose Skin Botox relaxes the arrector pili muscles that pull pores open, producing a 28-53% reduction in visible pore size within 2-3 weeks of treatment.
- Sebum & Oil Control Targets sebaceous glands to reduce oil production by up to 48%, keeping your skin matte and shine-free for 3-4 months after a single Skin Botox session.
- Texture Refinement Creates a smoother, more refined skin surface by relaxing micro-muscles and reducing the sebum distention that causes rough, bumpy texture.
- No Expression Freeze Unlike regular wrinkle Botox, Skin Botox stays in the dermis at 1-2 mm depth and does not affect the deeper facial muscles. Expressions remain completely natural.
- Facial Sweat Reduction Skin Botox targets eccrine sweat glands to reduce facial perspiration, a significant benefit for patients in humid climates or those with facial hyperhidrosis.
- Glass Skin Foundation Creates the ideal base for Korean glass skin when combined with skin boosters, exosome therapy, and laser toning.

The Science Behind Skin Botox
Peer-reviewed evidence explaining how micro-dose intradermal botulinum toxin improves skin quality at the cellular level.
Intradermal Botulinum Toxin: A Distinct Mechanism from Standard Botox
Traditional Botox works by blocking acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, paralyzing targeted muscles. Skin Botox leverages the same pharmacological mechanism at different anatomical targets within the dermis. When botulinum toxin is injected intradermally at diluted concentrations, it acts on three key structures: (1) the arrector pili muscles — tiny smooth muscles attached to hair follicles that influence pore diameter; (2) sebaceous glands, whose secretory function is modulated by cholinergic signaling; and (3) eccrine sweat glands, which are directly innervated by cholinergic nerves. Partial inhibition of these structures through Skin Botox simultaneously reduces pore visibility, oil production, and facial perspiration.
Sebum Reduction: Clinical Data on Skin Botox Efficacy
Sebaceous glands produce sebum under both hormonal and neuronal regulation. Rose and Goldberg conducted a pilot study evaluating intradermal botulinum toxin for sebum control and demonstrated a 48% reduction in sebum production at 4 weeks post-injection, as measured by Sebumeter. The proposed mechanism involves inhibition of acetylcholine-mediated signaling to sebocytes, decreasing both rate and volume of lipid secretion. This finding explains why Skin Botox is particularly effective for T-zone oiliness and the characteristic mid-day shine that many patients with oily skin experience.
Pore Size Reduction: The Arrector Pili Pathway
Pore size is determined by genetics, sebum output, skin elasticity, and arrector pili muscle tone. Shah demonstrated that micro-doses of botulinum toxin injected intradermally produced clinically significant pore size reduction by relaxing these micro-muscles. Combined with decreased sebum distending the pore opening, Skin Botox produces a dual mechanism of pore minimization typically visible within 1-2 weeks. Wu further validated these findings in a randomized controlled trial of 20 patients, reporting a 53% reduction in sebum production and 28% reduction in pore size at 8 weeks, with zero patients experiencing facial muscle weakness — confirming the safety of the intradermal injection technique.
Combination Synergy: Skin Botox with Hyaluronic Acid Boosters
Li et al. investigated combining intradermal botulinum toxin with hyaluronic acid skin boosters and found synergistic improvement in skin texture scores compared to either treatment alone. This evidence supports the protocol used at RE:BERRY Gangnam, where the Signature Hydra Glow Package combines Skin Botox with Juberry skin booster, Re2O exosome therapy, and LDM ultrasound. The multi-modal approach addresses pore size (Skin Botox), deep hydration (Juberry), cellular renewal (Re2O), and collagen stimulation (LDM) simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions About Skin Botox in Gangnam
Expert answers from RE:BERRY Gangnam physicians about micro-dose intradermal Skin Botox for pore and texture improvement.
₩1,290,000 is the price for the Signature Hydra Glow Package that includes Skin Botox with Juberry 6cc, Re2O exosome, and LDM ultrasound. The Smooth Texture Glow Package adds Potenza RF at ₩1,490,000. Standard wrinkle Botox starts at ₩19,000 per area. All prices exclude VAT.
Regular wrinkle Botox is injected at 4-8 mm depth into facial muscles to paralyze them and smooth dynamic wrinkles. Skin Botox is injected at 1-2 mm depth into the dermis in micro-doses to target pores, oil glands, and sweat glands without affecting facial expressions.
₩1,290,000 for the full Hydra Glow Package with Skin Botox is competitive by Gangnam standards, considering it includes four treatments in one session (Skin Botox + Juberry + Re2O + LDM). Individual pore treatments elsewhere range from ₩300,000-500,000 per session.
Skin Botox provides fast pore reduction within 3-7 days by targeting oil glands and arrector pili muscles, lasting 3-4 months. Potenza RF remodels pore structure through collagen stimulation across multiple sessions with longer-lasting results. Combining both in the Smooth Texture Glow Package (₩1,490,000) produces the most dramatic outcome.
Skin Botox targets pores and oil production. Glass skin laser toning targets pigmentation, redness, and luminosity. They address different concerns and combine beautifully. RE:BERRY Gangnam frequently pairs both for the ultimate Korean glass skin result.
