Dermotox and mesotox are Korean clinic terms for intradermal micro-droplet botulinum toxin — diluted toxin injected into the skin itself to refine pores, reduce sebum, and add glow. At Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong it runs as the Aqua Toxin menu from ₩189,000 (≈ $135), co-director-injected.
If you have browsed Korean clinic menus you have probably met a small family of names — dermotox, mesotox, skin botox, micro-botox, and mulgwang toxin (literally "water-glow toxin") — that all describe one technique with different marketing labels. Standard botulinum toxin is injected into a muscle to relax movement; dermotox / mesotox dilutes the same toxin and places it as dozens of tiny micro-droplets into the dermis and the superficial muscle-skin interface across the whole face. The target changes completely: instead of switching off a frown muscle, the micro-droplets act on the tiny arrector pili muscles, sebaceous glands, and superficial skin tension — which is why patients book it for enlarged pores, oily T-zone shine, fine surface crepe, and the tight "glass skin" finish, not for deep expression lines.
At Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong this technique is published as the Aqua Toxin menu — the water-glow toxin format in which the diluted toxin is prepared with a hydrating carrier and micro-injected across the full face. Four brand tiers are published, from Korean-made toxin at ₩189,000 (≈ $135) to Xeomin at ₩349,000 (≈ $249) and Allergan at ₩429,000 (≈ $306), with the same KRW price for international and Korean patients. Every session is injected personally by co-director Dr. Lee Wonjin or Dr. Lee Kangin — no nurse delegation — and the sealed toxin vial is shown on request before mixing. If your real concern is muscle-driven wrinkles or deeper hydration, the co-director will point you to wrinkle botox or a polynucleotide booster such as Rejuran instead — the explainer below maps exactly where each option fits.
