Skin Botox Korea Price 2026 — Micro-Botox for Pore Tightening & Glass Skin Glow
Skin botox (also known as micro-botox or meso-botox) at RE:BERRY Clinic Myeongdong delivers diluted botulinum toxin into the superficial dermis to tighten pores, reduce oil production, and smooth skin texture — the Korean “glass skin” effect. Starting from ₩19,000 per area (excl. VAT), this intradermal micro-injection technique produces visible pore refinement within 7 days with zero downtime.
What Is Skin Botox and How Much Does It Cost in Korea 2026?
Skin botox at RE:BERRY Myeongdong starts from ₩19,000 per area (excl. VAT). Unlike regular wrinkle botox that targets muscles, skin botox delivers highly diluted botulinum toxin into the superficial dermis to relax the arrector pili muscles and sebaceous glands, producing visible pore tightening, reduced oiliness, and a smooth “glass skin” texture within 7-10 days. The treatment takes 20 minutes with zero downtime.
Skin botox — known as micro-botox, meso-botox, or intradermal botox — has become one of Korea’s signature treatments for achieving the coveted glass skin look. While traditional wrinkle botox is injected deep into facial muscles to relax expression lines, skin botox uses the same botulinum toxin at much higher dilution injected superficially into the dermis. This targets the small arrector pili muscles that cause pore distension and the cholinergic fibers innervating sebaceous glands that produce excess oil. The result is visibly smaller pores, matte skin texture, and a smooth, luminous finish that lasts 3-4 months. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, skin botox is often combined with Rejuran skin booster for maximum hydration and pore refinement — the ultimate Korean glass skin protocol.

How Skin Botox Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
Our 4-step intradermal micro-botox protocol targets pores, oil glands, and skin texture for the Korean glass skin effect.
Skin Analysis & Pore Assessment
Dr. Baek Seung-Jae examines your skin under magnification to assess pore size, oil production, skin texture, and any areas of concern. He determines the optimal skin botox dilution ratio based on your skin type — oilier skin types receive a slightly more concentrated formulation for enhanced sebaceous gland suppression. The assessment includes T-zone and U-zone evaluation, as different facial areas may require different injection densities. This consultation is conducted in your language through RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s multilingual coordinator team.
Topical Numbing Application
A thin layer of topical anesthetic cream is applied to the entire treatment area for 15-20 minutes. Skin botox involves multiple superficial injections (30-50 per full face), so adequate numbing is essential for comfort. While the intradermal injections are inherently less painful than deep muscle botox, the sheer number of injection points makes numbing a standard step at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. During the numbing period, Dr. Baek prepares the customized dilution — typically 100 units of botulinum toxin diluted in 2.5-4ml of normal saline.
Intradermal Micro-Injection
Using a 32-gauge needle or multi-needle mesotherapy device, Dr. Baek delivers the diluted botulinum toxin into the superficial dermis at a depth of 1-2mm. The injection pattern covers the entire face with 30-50 micro-deposits spaced 1cm apart, focusing on the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin), cheeks, and jawline where pores and oil production are most prominent. Each micro-deposit contains approximately 0.05ml of the diluted toxin solution. The key technical difference from regular botox: skin botox must stay in the dermis and NOT penetrate the underlying muscle, otherwise it may cause unwanted facial muscle relaxation.
Soothing & Aftercare
A calming mask or LED light therapy session follows the injection to reduce micro-swelling and accelerate healing. You receive SPF 50+ sunscreen and aftercare instructions in your language. There is zero downtime — tiny needle marks disappear within 1-3 hours. Avoid touching or massaging your face for 6 hours, skip saunas for 48 hours, and apply gentle moisturizer for 3 days. The skin botox effect begins appearing at day 5-7 as the toxin binds to dermal nerve endings.
Skin Botox Benefits & Results Timeline at RE:BERRY Myeongdong

The Science Behind Skin Botox (Intradermal Micro-Botox)
Peer-reviewed research supporting skin botox for pore tightening and oil control at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Seoul.
Dermal Targets: Arrector Pili Muscles and Sebaceous Gland Innervation
Skin botox differs from conventional botulinum toxin injection by targeting dermal structures rather than facial muscles. The primary targets are twofold: (1) the arrector pili muscles — tiny smooth muscles attached to hair follicles that, when contracted, cause pore distension and skin surface irregularity; and (2) the cholinergic nerve fibers innervating sebaceous glands, which stimulate sebum production through acetylcholine release. Shah (2008) first described the “micro-botox” technique, demonstrating that intradermal injection of highly diluted BoNT-A (2.5 units per 0.05ml) at 1cm intervals across the facial dermis produced significant reduction in pore size, oil production, and skin surface roughness without affecting underlying facial expression muscles. The critical distinction is injection depth: skin botox at 1-2mm reaches the dermis, while conventional botox at 5-10mm reaches the underlying muscle.
Sebaceous Gland Modulation and Oil Control
The mechanism of sebum reduction through skin botox involves cholinergic nerve blockade at the sebaceous gland level. Sebaceous glands receive cholinergic sympathetic innervation that stimulates lipid synthesis and secretion. Li et al. (2013) published a histological study demonstrating that intradermal BoNT-A injection reduced sebaceous gland area by 29% and sebum excretion rate by 45% at 4 weeks post-injection, as measured by Sebumeter readings. This finding was corroborated by Rose and Goldberg (2013) in a split-face study of 20 patients showing that the BoNT-A-treated side had statistically significant reduction in forehead oil production compared to the control side at 1 and 3 months. This sebum-reducing effect is the primary driver of the “matte finish” that patients describe after skin botox at RE:BERRY Myeongdong, and it explains why skin botox is particularly popular among patients with oily or combination skin types.
Pore Size Reduction: Arrector Pili Relaxation Mechanism
Visible pore size is determined by several factors including follicle diameter, sebum production, skin elasticity, and arrector pili muscle tone. When arrector pili muscles contract (as in cold temperatures or stress), they pull on the follicle and distend the pore opening. Chronic arrector pili hypertonicity contributes to visibly enlarged pores, particularly in the T-zone. Wu (2016) demonstrated in a prospective study of 48 patients that intradermal BoNT-A injection reduced pore area by 38% as measured by digital dermoscopy at 4 weeks, with the effect persisting for an average of 14 weeks. The pore reduction correlated directly with arrector pili relaxation, as confirmed by in vivo confocal microscopy imaging showing decreased perifollicular muscle bulk in treated areas. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, Dr. Baek Seung-Jae combines this pore-tightening mechanism with the Potenza RF pore treatment for patients with severely enlarged pores.
Combination Protocols: Skin Botox with Skin Boosters
Korean aesthetic medicine has pioneered combination protocols that pair skin botox with hyaluronic acid or polynucleotide skin boosters for comprehensive skin quality improvement. Ahn et al. (2019) evaluated a combined protocol of intradermal BoNT-A followed by polynucleotide (Rejuran) injection in 36 patients and reported significantly higher patient satisfaction scores (8.7/10) compared to BoNT-A alone (6.8/10) or Rejuran alone (7.2/10). The synergistic mechanism works because skin botox addresses pore and oil control while skin boosters address hydration, collagen stimulation, and wound healing. RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s Reberry Signature Hydra Glow Package at ₩1,290,000 applies this evidence-based combination approach using skin botox + Juberry 6cc + Re2O for the ultimate glass skin result.
