What Is Micro Botox?

Botox® is practically a household name, but what’s the deal with micro Botox? Unlike traditional Botox injections, which target deeper facial muscles to reduce wrinkles, micro Botox focuses on the surface of your skin to give you a radiant, refreshed appearance.

It’s a service we offer here at RefineU Med Spa in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Read on to learn more about micro Botox, courtesy of our team of aesthetic experts.

What’s micro Botox?

Micro Botox goes by many names: microbotox, mesobotox, or even Botox injections with the microdroplet technique. 

Regardless of what you call it, this technique refers to injecting multiple microdroplets of diluted onabotulinumtoxinA — the main ingredient in Botox — just beneath your skin’s surface. 

We administer micro Botox injections into the superficial muscle fibers just below your dermis rather than the deep muscle fibers. 

Instead of relaxing muscles to reduce deep wrinkles, micro Botox can:

• Smooth out tiny creases that make your skin look tired
• Reduce the appearance of large pores
• Control oil production 
• Improve skin texture 

 The result? Smoother skin texture, less shine, and a tighter, glowing complexion.

4 benefits of micro Botox

You might consider micro Botox injections because: 

It can avoid the dreaded ‘frozen’ look

Because micro Botox isn’t injected into deep muscle tissues, you can avoid the look of too much Botox in one spot.

It can give you a glow

This approach reduces sweat and oil production, helping to improve your skin’s texture and natural glow. 

It can help you manage skin conditions

Micro Botox isn’t just about aesthetics. Studies show micro Botox can help treat certain skin conditions, including rosacea, hyperhidrosis, keloids, and seborrhea.

The process is easy

Getting micro Botox is similar to getting Botox or dermal fillers. Your RefineU Med Spa provider uses ultra-fine needles to administer the Botox solution to the targeted areas of your face. 

There’s little to no downtime so you can return to your daily routine almost immediately. You might notice some slight redness, but that usually fades within a few hours.

Results typically appear within a few days and can last 3-4 months. Regular treatments can maintain that smooth, radiant look you’re aiming for.

Is micro Botox right for you?

If you’re looking for a subtle enhancement rather than dramatic changes, micro Botox could be perfect. It’s ideal if you:

• Struggle with oily skin or acne
• Want to soften fine lines without freezing facial expressions
• Desire a refreshed, natural glow
• Are free from contraindications, such as allergies to the active ingredient, history of keloid scarring, breastfeeding, or pregnancy 

During your consultation, we review your skin goals and examine your skin. We can recommend the right type of neurotoxin injection — we also offer Dysport® and Jeuveau® — or any other services to help complete your look.
