In Korea they call it skin botox. Instead of going deep into muscle, a heavily diluted neurotoxin is placed as dozens of micro-droplets into the skin itself — tightening pores, cutting oil, and refining texture until your face reflects light instead of scattering it. Your expression stays entirely your own.
Conventional neurotoxin goes deep into a facial muscle to stop it moving. Microbotox stays in the superficial layer of the skin, where it acts on oil glands, sweat glands, and the tiny arrector muscles attached to each pore.
The dose is spread across 40 to 60 micro-droplets rather than concentrated in a handful of injection points. That is what changes the quality of the skin without touching the motion of your face.
Microbotox is an off-label use of botulinum toxin, performed by a board-certified physician with your informed consent.
Relaxes the tiny arrector muscles attached to each pore so pores appear visibly tighter and smaller.
Reduces sebaceous gland output for skin that stays matte through the day without stripping it.
Refines the surface so makeup sits smoothly and the skin feels finer to the touch.
Smoother, more even skin reflects light rather than scattering it — the lit-from-within glass skin effect.
Softens superficial skin-level crepiness on the cheeks, neck, and décolleté.
Reduces sweat gland activity across the treated zone.
Dr. Panah assesses your skin, confirms candidacy, and maps the treatment zones.
Topical anaesthetic is applied; most patients describe the treatment as very tolerable.
40 to 60 micro-droplets placed across the mapped zone. Visits run 30 to 60 minutes.
Stay upright four hours, no strenuous exercise or heat for 24 hours, no rubbing the area.
First changes at five to seven days, full effect at around two weeks.
Results last approximately three months; most patients treat quarterly.
Every treatment is performed by a board-certified physician. Ask about our Founding Model discount during your appointment.

Glass skin is the Korean beauty standard of skin so smooth, even, and reflective that it looks like glass — poreless in appearance, low in oil, and lit from within. In Korea it is achieved less by skincare than by in-clinic treatments, and microbotox (skin botox) is the one that produces the finish most reliably.
Microbotox is a heavily diluted neurotoxin placed as 40 to 60 micro-droplets into the superficial layer of the skin rather than into the facial muscles. At that depth it acts on oil glands, sweat glands, and the tiny muscles attached to pores — tightening pore appearance, reducing oil and shine, and refining texture — without relaxing the muscles that create your expression.
Conventional Botox is injected deep into a facial muscle to stop it moving and soften lines. Microbotox stays in the skin and changes skin quality — pores, oil, texture, and how light reflects off your face. Your expression is fully preserved. The two are complementary and are often performed in the same visit.
No. Because the product sits in the skin rather than the muscle, you keep full natural movement. That is the entire point of the technique — it treats the surface, not the motion.
Most people notice a change at five to seven days, with full effect at around two weeks. Results generally last about three months. Many patients treat quarterly to maintain the finish.
Microbotox is priced per session, not per unit: T-Zone and cheeks $450, lower face and jawline $675, neck $850, décolleté $650, the Signature Glass Skin treatment $1,200, full face and neck $1,450, or $700 when added to a conventional treatment in the same visit.
It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for people with neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis or ALS, where there is active skin infection in the treatment area, or where there is a known allergy to botulinum toxin or its components. Please disclose blood thinners before treatment. Microbotox is an off-label use of botulinum toxin and is performed with your informed consent.
