Micro-Botox, sometimes referred to as Baby Botox or Intradermal Botox, is an advanced aesthetic treatment that uses very small amounts of botulinum toxin injected superficially into the skin rather than deep into the facial muscles. The goal of this treatment is to improve skin texture, reduce pore size, control excess oil production, and create a subtle tightening effect across the face.
At Dew Derm Aesthetic & Dermatology, Micro-Botox treatments are performed using precise injection techniques that distribute tiny amounts of Botox across the skin surface. Unlike traditional Botox, which focuses on relaxing specific muscles, Micro-Botox works more broadly to improve the overall quality of the skin.
The treatment helps create smoother, more refined skin while maintaining completely natural facial expressions.
Micro-Botox involves injecting diluted botulinum toxin into the superficial layers of the skin. Instead of targeting the large facial muscles, the treatment affects the tiny muscle fibers attached to hair follicles and sweat glands.
By relaxing these small muscle fibers, Micro-Botox helps reduce pore size, control sebum production, and smooth fine lines. The treatment also improves skin texture and provides a mild tightening effect that enhances the overall appearance of the face.
The result is smoother, more radiant skin with a natural refreshed look.
Micro-Botox is effective in addressing several skin concerns, including:
The treatment is most commonly performed on the face, neck, and sometimes the jawline depending on the patient’s needs.
Micro-Botox treatments offer several aesthetic advantages:

The results of Micro-Botox typically last 3 to 4 months, depending on the patient’s metabolism, skin condition, and lifestyle factors. Over time the effect gradually fades as the body metabolizes the product.
Many patients choose to repeat the treatment several times per year to maintain smoother skin and refined pores.
Micro-Botox injections involve very fine needles and are generally well tolerated. Patients may feel small pinching sensations during the injections, but the discomfort is minimal.
In many cases a topical numbing cream may be applied before treatment to increase comfort during the procedure.
Patients usually begin to notice improvements in skin texture and pore size within 3 to 7 days after treatment. The full effect typically becomes visible within 10 to 14 days.
The skin gradually appears smoother, brighter, and more refined as the treatment takes effect.
Micro-Botox treatments require minimal downtime. Patients may experience mild redness or tiny injection marks immediately after the procedure, but these usually disappear within a few hours.
Most individuals can return to their normal daily activities right after treatment
