An honest review of Skin Botox, which is incredibly effective for pores and fine lines
📌 1. Visited Branch: "Maypure Mia Branch"
The weather has been so hot and humid lately that I sweat a lot, and as a result, the base makeup I painstakingly applied keeps falling apart, causing me immense stress every time I look in the mirror. In particular, the pores around my nose and butterfly zone seem much wider than before, and I've even noticed foundation settling into the fine lines around my eyes and forehead. When I look closely in the mirror, my skin texture looks rough and dry overall, which completely ruined my motivation to do my makeup. When I confided in friends and acquaintances about my concerns, they highly recommended Skin Botox, a procedure that involves injecting a shallow layer into the surface of the skin to tighten pores and smooth out fine lines.
So, I made time on the weekend to book an appointment right away at the Maypure Mia branch, which is close to my home, and visited. It is located near Mia Intersection, so it is convenient to get to by public transportation, and the clinic interior was incredibly clean, so I liked it right from the first impression. While waiting, I noticed that there seemed to be quite a few people there who, like me, were concerned about summer pores or excess sebum from sweat. When I discussed my skin concerns one by one with the director during the consultation, she explained in detail that unlike regular Botox, the Skin Botox procedure does not paralyze muscles but is injected thinly in small amounts into the dermis layer, making it excellent for improving skin texture, shrinking pores, and alleviating shallow wrinkles. She mentioned that it is the perfect treatment for people like me who have makeup creasing and severely noticeable pores, so I had high expectations.
After applying numbing cream and waiting, the procedure finally began. Since they were poking my entire face closely with thin needles, it honestly stung enough to bring a tear to my eye haha. However, the director at the Mia branch was incredibly fast and kindly checked on me periodically to make sure I was okay, so I was able to endure it and finish safely. Immediately after the procedure, my face looked bumpy like embossing, so I wore a mask pulled down low on my face when I got home. Fortunately, the bumps subsided almost completely after three or four hours, so it didn't interfere with my daily life at all.
It has been exactly about a week since I got Skin Botox, and I can distinctly feel the texture of my skin with my fingertips when washing my face. I can really feel how firm and smooth my skin has become. Most importantly, my foundation applies perfectly in the morning, and even in the afternoon, it definitely settles into my pores or breaks down less, so I am so satisfied every time I look in the mirror haha. The fine lines around my eyes that used to bother me whenever I smiled also feel smoothed out, making my complexion look much brighter. I highly recommend that anyone who struggles with base makeup caking due to pores or fine lines, like me, give Skin Botox a try!
