Hello.
I am Dr. Kim Dong-young, Director of Cleor Clinic Hongdae Branch.
Have you ever experienced your pores becoming more visible and your makeup looking cakey due to excess oil by the afternoon, even after following your usual moisturizing routine?
"I feel like my pores are getting larger because I have oily skin, and the fine texture in the butterfly zone is so prominent that my makeup doesn't sit well."
Surface pores and fine skin texture are areas influenced by sebaceous gland activity, superficial muscle usage, and microvascular conditions.
Surface topical care has limitations in addressing this environment, which is why treatments that act directly on the superficial dermis have become established.
Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox is a treatment that involves multiple injections of botulinum toxin into the superficial dermis to regulate sebaceous glands, microvessels, and superficial muscle activity.
Today, I will explain what Xeomin is, how it is used as Skin Botox, and what effects are reported.
What is Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox?
👉 Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox is an auxiliary treatment that involves multiple injections of Xeomin, a 150kDa pure botulinum toxin type A manufactured by Merz in Germany, into the superficial dermis to regulate sebaceous glands, microvessels, and superficial muscle activity.
Skin Botox is a different category from general wrinkle Botox in terms of the area of action.
While wrinkle Botox is injected directly into facial expression muscles, Skin Botox is a treatment structure where botulinum toxin is diluted and injected in multiple points into the superficial dermis.
When it acts on the superficial dermis, it regulates sebaceous glands, microvessels, and superficial muscle activity, making it known as a treatment that improves surface conditions such as pores, sebum, redness, and fine texture.
How is Xeomin different from other toxins?
👉 Xeomin is a 150kDa pure botulinum toxin type A (incobotulinumtoxinA) from Merz, Germany, with complexing proteins completely removed, and is a medical device approved by the US FDA, European CE, and the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
While other botulinum toxin products have a structure where neurotoxin proteins are combined with complexing proteins, Xeomin is a product containing only 150kDa pure neurotoxin protein with complexing proteins completely removed.
Due to this structural difference, it is known to have relatively low immunogenicity (the possibility of causing an immune response), and thus a relatively low possibility of resistance even with repeated treatments.
Of course, since there are reports of potential resistance for all botulinum toxins with repeated treatments, it is a category where excessively short intervals are not recommended.
Mechanism of Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox
👉 Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox is known for its four-part mechanism: regulation of sebaceous gland activity, regulation of microvascular activity, regulation of superficial muscle activity, and the collagen stimulation hypothesis.
① Regulation of sebaceous gland activity
When botulinum toxin blocks the release of acetylcholine at nerve endings around sebaceous glands, it is reported to weaken sebaceous gland activity for a certain period.
As sebum secretion decreases, the environment where pores are enlarged is refined, and the appearance of excess oil is reduced.
② Regulation of microvascular activity
When the toxin is distributed around the micro-capillaries in the superficial dermis, a hypothesis is reported that the frequency of temporary vasodilation is reduced, acting as an auxiliary treatment for mild redness and surface flushing.
③ Regulation of superficial muscle activity
As the activity of fine muscles distributed near the skin surface is regulated for a certain period, it is known to refine fine wrinkles and surface texture that become prominent depending on facial expressions.
This is a different area of action from wrinkle Botox, which acts on deep facial expression muscles.
④ Collagen stimulation hypothesis
Some studies report a hypothesis that Skin Botox acts as an auxiliary to stimulate dermal collagen and restore surface conditions.
However, as this is not an area with sufficient large-scale clinical data, it is classified as an additional hypothesis rather than a primary effect.Effects and Advantages of Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox
👉 The core advantages of Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox can be summarized into three points: simultaneous refinement of pores and sebum, multi-layered surface texture care, and a relatively low possibility of resistance.
First, it acts on pores and sebum simultaneously.
As sebaceous gland activity is regulated, sebum secretion decreases, and the environment of enlarged pores is reported to be refined.
Next, it provides multi-layered care for surface texture.
As the regulation of superficial muscle activity and microvascular activity occurs together, it is a treatment that improves fine wrinkles, redness, and surface texture simultaneously.
Finally, Xeomin has a relatively low possibility of resistance.
Known for its 150kDa pure toxin structure with relatively low immunogenicity, it is a recommended option for those who want to receive repeated cumulative care.
Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox Lineup
👉 At the Hongdae branch, we offer Skin Botox with 5 types of toxins in partial or full-face options, and Xeomin corresponds to the imported pure toxin line from Germany.
The partial line is for care focused on specific areas, while the full-face line is a configuration that addresses overall surface conditions.
The line that suits your areas of concern and toxin preference will be discussed during the pre-treatment consultation.
Who is Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox for?
Those with prominent pores and excess sebum causing makeup to look cakey
Those concerned about the fine texture and surface condition of the butterfly zone
Those with mild redness and surface flushing
Those who prefer a line with a relatively low burden of resistance for repeated cumulative care
Those looking for multi-layered surface condition care
Side Effects and Things to Know Before Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox
👉 Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox is a treatment that is performed cumulatively at 4-6 month intervals rather than being completed in one session.
Although small-scale studies report improvements in pores, sebum, and redness, it is not an area with sufficient large-scale clinical data, so it is good to understand in advance that there are individual differences in the degree of effect.
Immediately after the procedure, temporary stinging, minor bruising, and light swelling may occur at the injection site, which are reported to subside naturally within a few days in most cases.
As superficial muscle activity is regulated for a certain period, you may feel slightly different when making facial expressions, which will naturally adapt over time.
Please inform us in advance as the procedure may be restricted in the following cases:
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
If there is active inflammation or infection at the treatment site
If you have a history of allergies or hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin ingredients
If you have been diagnosed with neuromuscular diseases such as myasthenia gravis
If you are taking medications that affect toxin action, such as antibiotics (aminoglycoside class)
⚠️ Precautions before and after Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox
👉 For Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox, management at each stage before and after the procedure affects the stability and recovery of the effects.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. How is Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox different from general wrinkle Botox?
It is a completely different category in terms of the area of action and injection method.
Wrinkle Botox is injected directly into facial expression muscles to block muscle contraction signals, while Skin Botox is a line where botulinum toxin is diluted and injected in multiple points into the superficial dermis, acting on sebaceous glands, microvessels, and superficial muscles.
Q. Why does Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox use Xeomin?
Xeomin is a 150kDa pure botulinum toxin type A with complexing proteins completely removed, so it is known to have relatively low immunogenicity and a relatively low possibility of resistance even with repeated treatments.
At the Hongdae branch, 5 types of lines are operated, including domestic, domestic premium, domestic pure toxin, and Allergan, in addition to Xeomin, so you can choose according to your toxin preference.
Q. When do the effects of Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox appear?
The action begins about 2-4 days after the procedure, and the greatest change is reported at the 2-week mark.
Changes in surface pores, sebum, and fine texture vary by individual.
Q. How should I choose between partial and full-face Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox?
If you are only concerned about a specific area (jawline, nasolabial folds, butterfly zone pores), the partial option is recommended, and if you want to address the overall surface condition of the face, the full-face option is recommended.
The choice that fits your concerns will be determined during the pre-treatment consultation.
Q. Do pores shrink completely with Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox?
Although the regulation of sebaceous gland activity is reported to refine the pore environment, it is difficult to conclude that it results in complete pore shrinkage.
As it is an off-label use, there are individual differences in the degree of effect, and in some cases, cumulative care or combining it with other pore treatments is recommended.
Q. How long does the effect of Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox last?
Generally, it lasts for about 4-6 months.
Additional treatments are recommended when the effect gradually fades, and excessively short intervals are not recommended considering the possibility of resistance with repeated treatments.
Q. How much pain is involved in Hongdae Xeomin Skin Botox?
It is reported as a stinging sensation due to the micro-injection method.
The procedure time is short, and numbing cream can be applied, so it is not a very burdensome procedure.

중증 근무력증 등 신경근 질환을 진단받은 경우
항생제(아미노글리코사이드 계열) 등 톡신 작용에 영향을 주는 약물을 복용 중인 경우
⚠️ 홍대 제오민 스킨보톡스 시술 전후 주의사항
👉 홍대 제오민 스킨보톡스는 시술 전과 후 모두 시점별 관리가 효과 안정과 회복에 영향을 줍니다.
❓ 자주 묻는 질문 (FAQ)
Q. 홍대 제오민 스킨보톡스는 일반 주름 보톡스와 어떻게 다른가요?
작용 부위와 주입 방식이 완전히 다른 카테고리예요.
주름 보톡스는 표정 근육에 직접 주입해 근육 수축 신호를 차단하는 라인이고,
스킨보톡스는 보툴리눔 톡신을 희석해 표재 진피층에 다중 주입하는 라인이라
피지선·미세 혈관·표재 미세 근육에 작용하는 영역입니다.
Q. 홍대 제오민 스킨보톡스는 왜 제오민을 쓰나요?
제오민은 복합단백질이 완전히 제거된 150kDa 순수 보툴리눔 톡신 A형이라
면역원성이 비교적 낮고 반복 시술에도 내성 가능성이 비교적 낮다고 알려진 라인이에요.
홍대점에서는 제오민 외에도 국산·국산 프리미엄·국산 순수톡신·앨러간까지
5종 라인이 함께 운영되어 본인 톡신 선호에 맞춰 선택할 수 있는 구조입니다.
Q. 홍대 제오민 스킨보톡스 효과는 언제부터 보이나요?
시술 후 약 2~4일부터 작용이 시작되고
약 2주 시점에 가장 큰 변화가 보고됩니다.
표면 모공·피지·미세 결 변화는 개인차가 있는 영역이에요.
Q. 홍대 제오민 스킨보톡스 부분과 얼굴 전체는 어떻게 골라야 하나요?
특정 부위(턱라인·팔자·나비존 모공) 한 곳만 신경 쓰인다면 부분 옵션이,
얼굴 전반 표면 컨디션을 함께 가져가고 싶다면 얼굴 전체 옵션이 권해지는 편이에요.
본인 부위 고민에 맞는 선택은 사전 진료에서 함께 정리합니다.
Q. 홍대 제오민 스킨보톡스로 모공이 완전히 작아지나요?
피지선 활동 조절로 모공 환경이 정돈되는 방향이 보고되지만
완전한 모공 축소를 단정하기는 어려운 영역이에요.
오프라벨 활용 라인이라 효과 정도에 개인차가 있고,
누적 케어와 다른 모공 시술 병행이 권해지는 경우도 있는 라인입니다.
Q. 홍대 제오민 스킨보톡스 유지 기간은 얼마나 되나요?
일반적으로 약 4~6개월 정도 유지되는 흐름이에요.
효과가 점차 사라지는 시점에 추가 시술이 권해지는 편이고
반복 시술 시 내성 가능성을 고려해 지나치게 짧은 간격은 권해지지 않습니다.
Q. 홍대 제오민 스킨보톡스 통증은 어느 정도인가요?
미세 주사 방식이라 따끔한 자극이 느껴지는 정도로 보고됩니다.
시술 시간이 짧고 마취 크림 도포가 가능한 경우도 있어 부담이 크지 않은 시술이에요.
표면 모공과 미세 결 컨디션은 피지선 활동, 표재 미세 근육 사용,
미세 혈관 상태가 함께 영향을 주는 영역입니다.
표면 도포 케어로는 이 환경에 접근하기 어려운 한계가 있어
표재 진피층에 직접 작용하는 라인이 자리 잡은 이유이기도 해요.
홍대 제오민 스킨보톡스는 독일 멀츠사의
150kDa 순수 보툴리눔 톡신 A형을 표재 진피층에 다중 주입해
피지선·미세 혈관·표재 미세 근육 활동을 조절하는 보조 케어 시술이에요.
