Episode Transcript
Today is August 25, 2024, and we’re diving into how Botox, beyond its well-known wrinkle-reducing abilities, can be a treatment for acne, according to leading medical aesthetics provider Vanessa Lee, at The Things We Do in Los Angeles.
This innovative treatment, which is different from traditional Botox injections, utilizes a gentle form of microneedling to infuse a mixture of hyaluronic acid, glutathione, and a neuromodulator. The neuromodulator, or Botox, helps to decrease oil production and reduce redness, while glutathione brightens the skin, and hyaluronic acid acts as a long-lasting hydrator.
Lee, known for her personalized approach and skincare expertise, explained that microinfusion can even benefit those with active acne. “Intradermal use of neuromodulators can reduce oil production and help with breakouts, similar to how it works for hyperhidrosis,” she shared.
Furthermore, this treatment offers an impressive temporary airbrushed look, lasting about three to four months. While it’s an investment at around $650 per session, the results—tighter pores, reduced breakouts, and enhanced hydration—are well worth it. If you’re in L.A., considering a visit to Vanessa Lee could be the skincare upgrade you’ve been looking for.
