Before your consultation
- What did the study evaluate?
- Is it the same for scars that look like pores?
- What is it compared to in general wrinkle botulinum toxin?
General information, not a personal diagnosis or treatment plan. Suitability, risks and recovery require an individual consultation.
What did the study evaluate?
Split-face studies compared sebum and pore scores on both sides of the face. These results reflect changes observed over a specific period and do not mean that the necessary pores in the skin have permanently disappeared. Do not use them as evidence to promise the same results in consultations with different products or injection methods.

Is it the same for scars that look like pores?
The questions about treatment differ for acne scars that have left pitted marks and pores with excessive sebum secretion. Please compare the oiliness immediately after washing your face and in the afternoon, and let us know when the indentations first appeared. If all the spots in the photo are grouped as pores, the necessary approach may vary.
What is it compared to in general wrinkle botulinum toxin?
Even for the same ingredient series, you need to check the target treatment area, injection depth, and total amount used. Do not assume that using the product called 'skin botulinum toxin' will cause no facial expression changes at all. Specify whether you only want the area around the nose treated or if you are concerned about the texture of the skin on the entire face.
Can I receive it if my skin is dry but also oily?
If there is both tightness and oiliness, first check the cleansers and exfoliants you are using and the state of skin irritation. If you only set the goal to reduce sebum, your expectations regarding dryness may be inconsistent. Red and stinging skin needs a cause evaluation before the procedure.
How should changes be recorded?
Use the same lighting and take photos at similar times after cleansing, and match the cosmetics conditions. Record separately the feeling of having less oil during the day and ongoing changes in skin texture. If you write down shine, makeup retention, and dryness separately, it becomes easier to determine the need for the next treatment.
What if you receive a consultation for the central cheek area beside the nose on Dongseong-ro, Daegu?
When comparing pore botulinum toxin treatments on Dongseong-ro, check the coverage of the nose and the central cheek area beside the nose illustrated in the diagram. The official Doctor Designer Daegu list also has a treatment list for the nose and the central cheek area beside the nose, and when comparing it with estimates received around Jungang-ro, make sure it is the same area and product.
