How often should I repeat it?

The clinic recommends re-treatment every 3 to 4 months to keep pores refined.

Can I combine it with a laser?

Yes. Pore Botox is part of the Bumpy Acne and Pore Package together with Pico Fractional.

When can I wear makeup?

2 to 3 hours after the injections.

What is the butterfly zone?

The butterfly zone covers 2 areas: the nose and the front of the cheekbones. Together they look like a butterfly with its wings spread, which is where the name comes from.

How is Skin Botox different from Pore Botox?

Skin Botox places a small amount of Botox into the dermis to soften fine lines across the whole face, such as around the eyes and on the cheeks. Pore Botox targets the T-zone and butterfly zone with denser, more precise injections than Skin Botox, focusing more on pores as well as fine lines.
