Skin Botox (Dermotoxin) in Gangnam Seoul
Skin Botox — also called Dermotoxin, micro Botox, or intradermal botulinum toxin — delivers micro-doses of botulinum toxin A directly into the superficial dermis to shrink pores, reduce sebum production, and create the coveted Korean glass skin texture. RE:BERRY Gangnam offers Skin Botox Dermotoxin from ₩19,000 per area, with the resistance-reducing Skin Boitox formula included in the Signature Hydra Glow Package at ₩1,290,000. Physician-performed injections only, 2 minutes from Gangnam Station Exit 10.
What Is Skin Botox Dermotoxin at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
Skin Botox Dermotoxin at RE:BERRY Gangnam delivers micro-dose botulinum toxin A into the superficial dermis to shrink pores by 30-40%, reduce oil production, and smooth skin texture — from ₩19,000 per area with zero downtime and visible glass skin results within 5-7 days.
Unlike conventional Botox that targets muscles at depth, Skin Botox Dermotoxin is injected at 1-2mm depth into the dermal layer where it acts on sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and superficial muscle fibers. The result is visibly refined pores, reduced facial oiliness, and a smooth matte-to-dewy finish — the glass skin effect that Korean aesthetic medicine is famous for. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Medical Director Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu uses a specialized micro-injection technique that distributes 20-50 units across the treatment zone in a grid pattern at 0.5cm intervals. This Skin Botox Dermotoxin protocol targets the erector pili muscles and sebaceous glands without affecting deeper facial muscles — preserving natural expression while delivering surface-level transformation. RE:BERRY’s proprietary resistance-reducing Skin Boitox formula is featured in the Signature Hydra Glow Package (₩1,290,000), which combines Juberry 6cc + Skin Boitox + Re2O 1 syringe + LDM for a comprehensive glass skin protocol. For patients seeking targeted pore refinement alone, standalone Skin Botox Dermotoxin starts from ₩19,000 per area at RE:BERRY Gangnam.

How Skin Botox Dermotoxin Works at RE:BERRY Gangnam
A precise micro-injection Skin Botox Dermotoxin protocol targeting the superficial dermis for pore refinement and oil control.
Skin Analysis & Pore Mapping
Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu examines your skin under high-magnification dermoscopy, assessing pore density, sebum output levels, and skin texture across T-zone, cheeks, and jawline. A customized Skin Botox Dermotoxin injection map is designed based on your pore distribution pattern. This 10-15 minute consultation determines whether standalone Dermotoxin or the full Hydra Glow Package will achieve your glass skin goals. The analysis is included free with every treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
Topical Numbing & Preparation
A topical anesthetic cream (lidocaine 4%) is applied for 20-30 minutes to ensure comfort during the micro-injection process. The treatment area is then cleansed with antiseptic solution. For patients combining Skin Botox Dermotoxin with Aqua Peel (₩49,000 add-on), the deep pore cleansing is performed during the numbing period to optimize treatment efficiency.
Micro-Dose Intradermal Injection
Using a 32-gauge needle, Dr. Ryu or Dr. Oh injects diluted botulinum toxin A at 1-2mm depth in a grid pattern across the treatment zone. Each injection point receives 0.5-1.0 units, with points spaced 0.5-1.0cm apart. The total dosage for full-face Skin Botox Dermotoxin is typically 20-50 units depending on pore severity and facial size. The injection takes 15-20 minutes for full face coverage. The micro-dose technique ensures the toxin affects only dermal structures — sebaceous glands, erector pili muscles, and eccrine sweat glands — without reaching the deeper muscles responsible for facial expression.
LDM Recovery & Aftercare
Post-injection LDM (Local Dynamic Micro-massage) ultrasound at 3-10 MHz calms inflammation, promotes even distribution of the botulinum toxin, and accelerates the healing response. A soothing recovery mask is applied for 10 minutes. Total appointment time for Skin Botox Dermotoxin at RE:BERRY Gangnam is approximately 60 minutes including numbing. You receive a written aftercare guide in your language — avoid lying flat for 4 hours, no facial massage for 48 hours, and no sauna or intense exercise for 24 hours.
What to Expect from Skin Botox Dermotoxin Treatment
- Visible Pore Shrinkage (30-40%) Micro-dose botulinum toxin reduces the activity of erector pili muscles that keep pores dilated. Clinical studies show 30-40% reduction in pore diameter within 2 weeks of Skin Botox Dermotoxin treatment — visible to the naked eye and measurable under dermoscopy.
- Sebum Production Control Botulinum toxin suppresses acetylcholine release at the neuroglandular junction, reducing sebaceous gland output by 20-30%. Patients notice significantly less facial shine, fewer midday touch-ups, and reduced foundation breakdown — lasting 3-4 months per session.
- Glass Skin Texture Effect The combination of tighter pores, reduced oiliness, and smoother surface micro-topography creates the Korean glass skin finish — luminous, porcelain-smooth skin that reflects light evenly without the greasy appearance of untreated oily skin types.
- Zero Downtime for Travelers No bruising, no swelling, no visible marks. Skin Botox Dermotoxin involves only superficial micro-injections that leave no trace after 1-2 hours. You can apply makeup 4-6 hours post-treatment and resume all activities immediately. Safe to fly same day.
- Natural Expression Preserved Unlike deep Botox for wrinkles, Skin Botox Dermotoxin acts only on dermal structures at 1-2mm depth. Facial muscles at 4-6mm depth remain completely unaffected. No frozen look, no expression restriction — just smoother, refined skin surface.
- Sweat Reduction Bonus Dermotoxin’s effect on eccrine sweat glands provides an additional benefit for patients with facial hyperhidrosis or excessive forehead sweating. The same treatment that refines pores also reduces localized sweating by 20-40% in the treated zones.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 0 | Treatment completed in 60 minutes. Tiny injection marks fade within 1-2 hours. Apply SPF 30+ before leaving the clinic. No visible signs of treatment. |
| Day 1-3 | Botulinum toxin begins binding to nerve terminals at the neuroglandular junction. No visible changes yet. Avoid facial massage, hot sauna, and intense exercise. |
| Day 5-7 | First visible results: reduced facial oiliness, pores appear tighter, skin surface smoother. The glass skin effect becomes noticeable under natural light. |
| Week 2-4 | Peak Skin Botox Dermotoxin results. Maximum pore shrinkage (30-40%), sebum control established, and skin texture at its smoothest. This is the ideal window for photos and events. |

The Science Behind Skin Botox Dermotoxin
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting intradermal botulinum toxin for pore refinement, sebum control, and skin texture improvement.
Intradermal Botulinum Toxin A: Mechanism of Action
Botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injected at 1-2mm dermal depth acts on three target structures that distinguish Skin Botox Dermotoxin from conventional muscular Botox. First, it inhibits acetylcholine release at the neuroglandular junction of sebaceous glands, reducing sebum production by 20-30% over 3-4 months. Second, it paralyzes the arrector pili muscles attached to hair follicles, causing visible pore constriction measured at 30-40% diameter reduction under dermoscopy. Third, it suppresses eccrine sweat gland secretion in the treatment zone, reducing localized perspiration. This triple mechanism — oil control, pore shrinkage, and sweat reduction — creates the composite glass skin texture effect unique to Skin Botox Dermotoxin in Gangnam aesthetic practice.
Clinical Evidence for Pore and Sebum Reduction
A randomized double-blind study by Rose and Goldberg (2013) demonstrated that intradermal BoNT-A significantly reduced sebum production and pore size in the forehead region compared to saline controls, with effects lasting 8-10 weeks. Shah (2008) confirmed the sebum-reducing properties of intradermal BoNT-A using sebumeter measurements, showing 20-30% reduction in casual sebum levels at 4 weeks post-injection. In the Korean clinical setting, intradermal botulinum toxin for skin quality improvement — marketed as Skin Botox or Dermotoxin — has become one of the most requested aesthetic procedures, with an estimated 2.3 million treatments performed annually in South Korea as of 2024. The safety profile of Skin Botox Dermotoxin is well-established, with adverse events limited to transient injection-site erythema resolving within 1-2 hours.
Combination Protocols for Enhanced Glass Skin Outcomes
Recent literature supports combining Skin Botox Dermotoxin with skin boosters and collagen stimulators for synergistic results. Wu et al. (2016) showed that intradermal BoNT-A combined with hyaluronic acid fillers produced superior facial pore improvement and skin hydration scores versus either treatment alone. The RE:BERRY Signature Hydra Glow Package applies this evidence base by combining resistance-reducing Skin Boitox with Juberry 6cc (poly-lactic acid skin booster) and Re2O hydration — targeting pore size, oil control, and deep hydration simultaneously for comprehensive Skin Botox Dermotoxin glass skin transformation at the Gangnam clinic.
Safety and Duration of Intradermal Botulinum Toxin
The safety advantage of Skin Botox Dermotoxin over conventional muscle-targeting Botox lies in the significantly lower per-point dosage (0.5-1.0 units vs 4-8 units per point) and shallow injection depth (1-2mm vs 4-6mm). A systematic review by Humphrey et al. (2021) confirmed that intradermal BoNT-A at therapeutic doses does not affect underlying facial muscle function or alter facial expressions. Duration of pore-refinement effects averages 3-4 months, with some patients reporting sustained sebum control up to 5 months. The treatment is repeatable without tolerance development, making it suitable for long-term glass skin maintenance programs at RE:BERRY Gangnam.

What Our Patients Say About Skin Botox Dermotoxin
“My T-zone was always shiny by noon. After Skin Botox at RE:BERRY Gangnam, I noticed the oil reduction within a week. By day 10, my pores looked visibly smaller in photos. I had it done in the morning and was sightseeing in Gangnam by afternoon — literally zero downtime.”
“I booked the Signature Hydra Glow Package because I wanted the full glass skin effect. The Skin Boitox + Juberry + Re2O combination was incredible. My skin felt plump and hydrated but without the oiliness. Dr. Ryu spent time explaining the difference between this and regular Botox.”
“Coming from a humid climate, I always struggled with enlarged pores. One session of Dermotoxin at RE:BERRY Gangnam and my pores looked 50% smaller. The ₩19,000 starting price surprised me — it is significantly cheaper than similar treatments in Singapore.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Skin Botox Dermotoxin
Expert answers from RE:BERRY Gangnam’s Skin Botox Dermotoxin specialists.
₩19,000 per area for standalone Skin Botox at RE:BERRY Gangnam. The Signature Hydra Glow Package including resistance-reducing Skin Boitox is ₩1,290,000. The Signature Smooth Texture Glow Package with Potenza RF + Skin Boitox is ₩1,490,000. All prices exclude VAT (10%) and are valid April-June 2026.
2mm injection depth for Skin Botox versus 4-6mm for regular Botox. Skin Botox Dermotoxin targets sebaceous glands and erector pili muscles in the dermis for pore shrinkage and oil control. Regular Botox targets deeper facial muscles for wrinkle reduction. Skin Botox does not freeze facial expressions because it never reaches the expression muscles.
1-2 on a 10-point pain scale with topical numbing cream applied 20-30 minutes before. The 32-gauge needles used for Skin Botox Dermotoxin are among the thinnest in aesthetic medicine. Most patients describe the sensation as mild prickling — significantly less painful than standard Botox injections.
3-4 months for pore shrinkage and sebum control effects. Some patients experience up to 5 months of sustained results. Maintenance sessions every 3-4 months are recommended for continuous glass skin texture at RE:BERRY Gangnam. The treatment is repeatable without tolerance development.
Yes, 60% of patients combine Skin Botox Dermotoxin with lifting treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Popular combinations include Dermotoxin + Thermage FLX (₩1,990,000) for tightening + texture, or Dermotoxin + Sofwave (₩990,000) for lifting + pore control. Both can be done same-day.
No. 0% risk of expression loss with properly performed Skin Botox Dermotoxin. The injection depth of 1-2mm only reaches the dermis, while facial expression muscles sit at 4-6mm depth. Dr. Ryu’s micro-dose technique at 0.5-1.0 units per injection point ensures zero impact on muscle function.
Yes. Skin Botox Dermotoxin is suitable for all skin types including sensitive and acne-prone skin. The 20-30% sebum reduction actually benefits acne-prone patients by reducing excess oil that feeds breakouts. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, patients with active acne can combine Dermotoxin with acne laser treatment for dual-action clearing and pore refinement.
20-50 units total for full-face Skin Botox Dermotoxin at RE:BERRY Gangnam, distributed across 40-100 injection points at 0.5-1.0 units each. The exact dosage depends on treatment area size, pore severity, and sebum output level. Dr. Ryu calibrates the dose during your consultation.
Yes. Zero altitude-related contraindications for Skin Botox Dermotoxin. The micro-injection points are invisible within 1-2 hours. You can apply makeup 4-6 hours post-treatment. RE:BERRY Gangnam provides a travel aftercare kit with written instructions in 8 languages.
₩1,290,000 for the complete glass skin protocol at RE:BERRY Gangnam. The package combines resistance-reducing Skin Boitox for pore shrinkage, Juberry 6cc poly-lactic acid skin booster for collagen stimulation, Re2O 1 syringe for deep hydration, and LDM ultrasound for recovery. Each component synergizes — Dermotoxin controls oil while boosters add luminosity.
RE:BERRY’s proprietary Skin Boitox is a resistance-reducing formulation of intradermal botulinum toxin designed to minimize the development of neutralizing antibodies over repeated treatments. This formulation is exclusive to RE:BERRY’s Signature packages and ensures consistent Skin Botox Dermotoxin efficacy even after multiple sessions.
Both are effective through different mechanisms. Skin Botox Dermotoxin provides faster pore shrinkage (5-7 days) lasting 3-4 months. Potenza RF microneedling provides slower but longer-lasting collagen-based pore improvement (6-12 months). RE:BERRY Gangnam’s ₩1,490,000 Smooth Texture Glow Package combines both for maximum results.
Yes. 35% of Skin Botox Dermotoxin patients at RE:BERRY Gangnam are male. Men typically have larger pores and higher sebum production, making Dermotoxin particularly effective. The treatment is discreet — no visible marks after 1-2 hours, and no one will know you had a procedure.
Skin Botox Dermotoxin lasts 3-4 months per session and targets the biological cause of large pores (gland activity). Glass skin facials using Hydrafacial (₩250,000) or Aqua Peel (₩49,000) provide temporary surface-level results lasting 1-2 weeks. For sustained glass skin, Dermotoxin is the foundation and facials are maintenance.
20-40 is the peak age range for Skin Botox Dermotoxin at RE:BERRY Gangnam. Patients in their 20s benefit from preventive pore management before enlargement becomes permanent. Patients in their 30s-40s see the most dramatic improvement as age-related pore dilation responds strongly to dermal botulinum toxin.
Yes. 20-40% reduction in localized facial sweating is a bonus benefit of Skin Botox Dermotoxin. The botulinum toxin suppresses eccrine sweat glands in the treatment zone. For severe hyperhidrosis, RE:BERRY Gangnam offers dedicated hyperhidrosis Botox (₩79,000 for 100U) targeting underarms, hands, or feet.
Yes, with physician guidance. Dr. Ryu recommends performing Skin Botox Dermotoxin first, followed by filler injections in the same session. The shallow 1-2mm Dermotoxin injection does not interfere with deeper filler placement at 3-6mm. Many patients at RE:BERRY Gangnam combine Skin Botox with chin or lip filler (₩450,000 for Juvederm 1cc).
Less than 2% adverse event rate for Skin Botox Dermotoxin at therapeutic doses. Possible effects include transient injection-site redness (1-2 hours), mild bruising at 1-2 points (rare, resolves in 2-3 days), and temporary headache. No systemic effects at the micro-doses used for intradermal treatment.
2.3 million intradermal botulinum toxin treatments are performed annually in South Korea. Korean aesthetic medicine pioneered the Skin Botox Dermotoxin technique as part of the glass skin culture — a cultural emphasis on porcelain-smooth, luminous skin texture that drives demand for pore-level treatments unavailable in most Western clinics.
3 advantages at RE:BERRY Gangnam: (1) physician-only injection with pore mapping — never delegated to nurses; (2) proprietary resistance-reducing Skin Boitox formula for long-term maintenance; (3) combination protocols in the Signature packages that add Juberry, Re2O, and LDM for comprehensive glass skin transformation.
Before: avoid blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen) for 3 days, alcohol for 24 hours, and arrive with clean skin. After: no lying flat for 4 hours, no facial massage for 48 hours, no sauna or hot bath for 24 hours, avoid intense exercise day-of. Apply SPF 30+ daily.
Yes. Nose pores (blackhead-prone area) respond well to targeted Skin Botox Dermotoxin. Dr. Ryu uses a precision grid pattern across the nasal dorsum and alar creases with 0.5cm spacing. Nose-only treatment uses approximately 5-8 units and can be combined with full-face Dermotoxin or done standalone.
8 languages supported: English, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Mongolian, Farsi, and Korean. Dedicated language coordinators handle Skin Botox Dermotoxin consultation, treatment explanation, and aftercare instructions at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
₩19,000 (approximately $14 USD) per area at RE:BERRY Gangnam versus $200-500+ per area in the US, UK, or Australia for equivalent Skin Botox Dermotoxin treatment. Korea’s competitive pricing reflects the highest per-capita concentration of aesthetic clinics globally, with RE:BERRY offering among the most competitive rates in the Gangnam district.
Yes. Combining Skin Botox Dermotoxin with the Signature Acne Package (₩1,290,000) is popular among patients who want both acne clearance and pore refinement. The Dermotoxin addresses oil control while Potenza + Juvelook targets active acne and scarring. Space the treatments 1-2 weeks apart for optimal results.
No. Botulinum toxin treatments are deferred during pregnancy and breastfeeding as a standard precaution at RE:BERRY Gangnam. While Skin Botox Dermotoxin uses micro-doses with minimal systemic absorption, conservative guidelines recommend avoiding all BoNT-A products until breastfeeding is complete.
