Skin Botox in Coquitlam

Skin Botox at Smile Well Medical & Spa in Coquitlam targets the skin itself — not the muscles — to refine texture, minimize pores, control oil, and create a naturally radiant complexion.

What is Skin Botox?

Skin Botox is a specialized intradermal injection technique where diluted botulinum toxin is delivered into the superficial layers of the skin rather than into the muscles beneath. This approach targets sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and tiny erector pili muscles to reduce pore size, control excess oil, smooth skin texture, and create a refined, glass-skin effect without affecting facial expression.

Unlike traditional Botox that relaxes deeper muscles to reduce wrinkles, Skin Botox works on the skin surface — tightening pores, reducing shine, and improving overall skin quality. It is ideal for patients who want to address skin texture and oil control while maintaining full facial expressiveness. Treatment areas commonly include the forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin.

Skin Botox delivers diluted botulinum toxin approved by Health Canada into the superficial skin layer to improve texture, minimize pores, and control oil production.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Skin Botox different from regular Botox?

Regular Botox is injected into muscles to reduce wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Skin Botox is injected into the superficial skin layer to improve texture, reduce pores, and control oil — without affecting muscle movement.

Will Skin Botox freeze my face?

No. Skin Botox targets the skin surface only and does not affect the deeper muscles responsible for facial expressions.

How long do results last?

Results typically last 3 to 4 months. Regular maintenance sessions help sustain the improved skin quality.

Is the procedure painful?

Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as mild prickling that is easily tolerable.

Who is a good candidate for Skin Botox?

Skin Botox is ideal for anyone with enlarged pores, oily skin, or rough skin texture who wants improvement without affecting facial expressions.
