Botox does not make fine lines only disappear – your pores can also shrink.
While experts say that the treatment that studies pores has been around for about a decade, the unconventional use of injections -toxic toxins witnessed a rise in popularity over the past few years, partially due to the viral “glass leather” direction.
“I have noticed a rise in patients who ask about the refinement of the pores with Botox, especially in the past few years with the growth of the demand for the episodic skin,” said the dual plastic surgeon approved by the Board of Directors of Huffpost.
Dr. Curie said to. Hartmann, a dermatologist accredited by the Alabama Board of Directors, for the publication that the effect of “pores” has been witnessed by patients who received Botox injections in order to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
“Although muscle tightening groups in … it can have a shrinking effect on the pores,” said Michelle Patti, a nurse, a nurse founder, adding that it leads to a “smooth appearance of the skin.”
Dr. Michel Henry, founder of the skin -based skin surgery, explained that this happens because the pores are connected to a “small muscle” called the Bayley muscle, which is installed by Botox injections.
Toxin also affects the secretion of sebum from the sebaceous glands, which Henry added makes the pores “look smaller” due to the lack of oil coming from the glands. Not to mention, it can also result in a clearer skin.
While Hartmann said that patients can see the results of at least 48 hours, Patti indicated that it might take about two weeks.

Hartmann said: “I recommend watching an accredited dermatologist from the Board of Directors who can evaluate your skin needs and recommend the appropriate amount to provide the required effect.”
It is a good balance between reducing sebum production and causing dry skin. Botox itself has rare risks such as swelling and bruising at the injection site. If this happens, it usually goes away within a day or so. “
Experts said Botox is not a one -step treatment for the skin.
“There is no permanent solution for the shrinking pores, but keeping a set of treatments-such as medical skin care, laser and botox treatments-can lead to a long-term improvement in the skin tissue,” Sanan explained. “Botox effects usually continue to improve pores 3-4 months, similar to their duration when used to reduce wrinkles.”
