Three of the top facial skin concerns worldwide include acne, rosacea, and enlarged pores, some cases of which are so extreme that they affect a person’s confidence and well-being.

In severe instances, in addition to being unsightly, these skin problems will need medical attention.

Let’s find out more about these common conditions and what we can do to treat them.

1. Acne

Acne is a skin condition wherein the pores become clogged with dead skin cells or too much oil and can range from unnoticeable whiteheads to sore, pus-filled bumps.

Severe acne can cause lifelong scarring and dark spots.

There are many products and services in the market today offering acne treatment, such as cleansers, topical and oral medications, and therapies.

2. Rosacea

Rosacea is a common skin disease that has unknown causes but could be brought about by heredity or external factors.

It causes redness that is usually visible in the forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin.

Just like acne, it can range from harmless visible blood vessels to swollen red bumps.

If left untreated, rosacea can cause vision problems and can also cause rhinophyma, a skin disorder characterized by a large, bulbous nose.

Treatment for rosacea involves a lot of skin care products and topical medicine, all of which only aim to control the condition and not to cure it.

There is still no known cure for this condition.

 

3. Enlarged Pores

While this condition is the least disturbing in this list of skin concerns, enlarged pores can also grow to be unpleasant, discolored areas that can cause distress to a person who has it.

Recommended treatments for enlarged pores involve a lot of non-comedogenic skin care and beauty products.

The most troubling thing about these skin problems is that they can be persistent and last for decades, sometimes never being cured at all.

There is, however, a popular temporary treatment that is being praised by dermatologists.

 

 

What is Microbotox?

Microbotox is a revolutionary treatment using very small doses of Botox to target problematic areas.

While it is not a new procedure, it is becoming a more and more popular form of treatment.

It can specifically be used to treat acne, rosacea, and enlarged pores.

How Does Microbotox Work?

This procedure is done on the superficial layers of the skin and does not affect muscles that control facial movement.

With topical anesthesia, it is a relatively painless 30-minute procedure, the results of which can last up to 4 months.

Except for a bit of redness right after the procedure, there’s no downtime after getting it done.

This procedure can be done on acne, rosacea, and enlarged pores once every 5 months.

 

Effects of Using Microbotox on Acne

•  Lessens the face’s oil and sweat production and prevents further breakouts

• Especially effective in the forehead area

• Lightens acne scars

• Reduces inflammation

 

Effects of Using Microbotox on Rosacea

•  Minimizes redness of the skin

• Relieves vascular symptoms

• Reduces lesion soreness and inflammation

 

Effects of Using Microbotox on Enlarged Pores

•  Reaches the muscles that affect the pores, making them smaller

• Tightens skin around the pores, leaving a more youthful look

• Leaves skin drier and less oily

 

Microbotox vs Botox: What’s the Difference?

•  Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the world.

• Regulated doses of it can be used to enhance one’s appearance and treat medical conditions by temporarily paralyzing the muscles.

• Botox prevents the release of acetylcholine in the body, helping the muscles relax.

 

• When injected into the skin, Botox causes unnatural-looking freezing of face muscles especially when the procedure is quite new.

• Microbotox is a more natural-looking option but is not as potent as its counterpart.

• Botox is the ideal option for those who wish to decrease the visibility of wrinkles and facial lines and for those with more pressing medical requirements.

• Microbotox is not recommended for wrinkles and other facial lines and other medical conditions.

• Its small Botox dosage does not have the same effect as a regular dose of Botox does on medical conditions like eye spasms, profuse sweating, overactive bladder, and migraine.  It is, however, highly recommended for the temporary treatment of acne, rosacea, and enlarged pores.

Both are minimally-invasive, low-risk procedures performed by trained specialists. Microbotox, being microdroplets, costs less than regular Botox.

Both treatments have little to no side effects and can help cure a wide array of other conditions.

Consider getting these temporary treatments for persistent aesthetic or medical problems.
