NATURAL. SUBTLE. YOU.
Oily shine and visible pores can make the complexion look uneven. When appropriate for your skin, Mesobotox aims to reduce sebum production and improve skin texture.
Mesobotox targets uneven skin texture, increased sebum production and the appearance of enlarged pores. Very small amounts of diluted botulinum toxin are injected superficially into selected areas. At DIVINE Medica in Munich, we assess carefully whether this use is appropriate for your skin. The goal is to improve skin quality, not to alter facial expression.
With Mesobotox, low-dose diluted botulinum toxin is distributed superficially or intradermally. It may reduce sebum production and make pores appear less noticeable. Evidence is limited, and both the effects and how long they last vary from person to person. This is an off-label use, which is explained separately before you give consent.
Mesobotox may be considered for oily-looking skin, visibly enlarged pores and uneven texture. We assess your skin condition and discuss alternatives and the limitations of this use. Any active skin disease must be evaluated first.
Mesobotox planning takes your anatomy, medications and previous reactions into account. Even with superficial use, unwanted effects on nearby muscles can occur. Possible temporary changes in facial expression or asymmetry are therefore discussed with you personally; they are not a treatment goal.
Superficial placement and conservative dosing are used to target skin texture and the appearance of pores with Mesobotox.
Oily shine, skin texture and pore appearance are considered together with your personal treatment goal. The consultation covers your medical history, alternatives and the limited evidence for this off-label use. Changing your facial expression is not the objective.
The treatment areas and conservative dose are planned before starting. After cleansing and disinfection, your doctor explains how the superficial injections are given and answers any remaining questions. If needed, we can discuss anaesthesia options that suit your preferences.
Very small amounts of diluted botulinum toxin are injected superficially into the selected skin areas. The dose and injection sites are based on our assessment and take the risk of unwanted muscle effects into account.
After treatment, we check your skin’s response and how you are feeling. Your personal aftercare instructions also explain which symptoms should be reported. Follow-up focuses on sebum production, texture and any unwanted muscle effects.
A careful medical history is especially important with Mesobotox. Please tell us about neuromuscular disorders, allergies, medications and previous botulinum toxin treatments. Prescribed medicines should not be changed without medical advice. Active infections, pregnancy and breastfeeding rule out elective treatment.
For the initial period after Mesobotox, you receive a skincare plan tailored to your skin, including sun protection and advice on how long to avoid exercise and heat exposure. Avoid rubbing or pressure on treated areas. Breathing or swallowing difficulties and pronounced muscle weakness require immediate medical attention. Evidence that zinc prolongs the effect is insufficient; any suspected deficiency should be discussed with a doctor.
Possible effects include reduced oily shine through lower sebum production, less noticeable pores and a more even skin texture. Permanent pore reduction or a specific result cannot be promised. We assess progress individually; changes in facial expression are not a treatment goal.

The price depends on the product, the amount required and any planned combination treatment.
Answers to your questions about treatment, results and aftercare.
The superficial microinjections may reduce sebum production and improve skin texture and the appearance of pores. A specific result cannot be guaranteed. This is an off-label use and is considered individually after separate medical counselling and consent.
The appointment lasts 30–60 minutes. Initial changes in skin texture, oily shine or pore appearance may be seen within 1–4 weeks. We assess your individual response at follow-up. A change in facial expression is not intended.
The stated pain level of 2–3 out of 10 is a guide only; local anaesthesia is available on request. Most people should allow 1–3 days for recovery, or longer if bruising occurs. Redness, swelling and tenderness are possible. Unwanted changes in facial expression should be medically assessed.
Mesobotox may be considered for oily skin, visible pores and uneven texture. Afterwards, gentle skincare, sun protection and avoiding exercise and heat exposure for the agreed period are important. Do not rub the treated areas. Breathing or swallowing difficulties or pronounced muscle weakness require immediate medical attention.
Recovery time: 1–3 days
Temporary redness, mild swelling, small bruises or bumps can occur after the microinjections. Unwanted muscle weakness, asymmetry or changes in facial expression require medical assessment. Your aftercare plan explains when you should contact the practice.
Other skin treatments can be added when appropriate. Laser treatments, peels or fillers are planned with sufficient intervals. Any additional botulinum toxin treatment must be taken into account when planning the total dose and appointment schedule.
For Mesobotox, we assess skin texture, sebum production and the appearance of the pores. We explain the limited evidence and the fact that this is an off-label use. Superficial placement and conservative dosing are planned carefully, and possible unwanted effects on facial expression are discussed openly.
An in-person consultation at the practice helps determine whether Mesobotox is appropriate for addressing oily shine and the appearance of your pores. You receive specific information about the off-label use, the limited evidence for effectiveness and possible unwanted effects on facial expression.
A 30-minute consultation costs €75.
