Botox vs. Micro-Infusion – Which Is Better? As a Hollywood Dermatologist, Here’s My Take

“Just get Botox.”

I’d bet my dermatologist license that you’ve probably heard those 3 words at least once before…

Whether it was from a friend, a TikTok video, or even a skincare professional.

Over the last 30+ years, getting Botox has become just as common as stopping by the drive-thru for a coffee.

But we do it, because it works.

And plenty of studies have shown that Botox can visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful look.

And while that’s great... Botox is still a toxin that stops muscles from moving!

On top of which, Botox comes with a plethora of risks and downsides like:

• Overdoing it and ending up with the dreaded ‘frozen face’ look

• Headaches, which can last up to 4 weeks post-injections

• Bruising, which is known to affect up to 1 in 4 patients

• Temporary facial asymmetry or a “droopy” eyelid, this happens when separate muscles respond differently to the treatment

Some long-term Botox users also complain that their bodies have stopped responding to injections over the years, so they often need more and more frequent Botox injections just for upkeep.

And finally… Botox is super expensive. Each treatment goes for about $300 - $600 every 3-6 months!

If Botox has so many downsides, why are we still using it?

We keep using Botox because it's become the gold standard for thousands of people!

And here’s another little fact for you—the average American spends $1,754 every year on topical skincare and cosmetics.

That’s a lot of money, especially if you're using Botox along with an extensive skincare day/night routine!

So… if skincare products do what they say they’re supposed to do, why are people still resorting to Botox to get those visible results they want?

It’s all because when you use Botox and/or apply cosmetic products to your skin, they may not be getting to the deeper “cause” that's contributing to visible aging!

Does Botox prevent wrinkles? Sure.
‍
But truthfully, the best way to help your skin look visibly smoother, is to start giving skin some TLC at home!

That’s where Micro Infusion comes in and gets to the root of the problem. 

Micro Infusion involves creating tiny channels in the skin…

And then lightly delivers skincare ingredients into the surface layers.

These minimally-invasive treatments can be so visibly effective, you may never want to use Botox again! I know this, because I have patients that have told me so!

Micro Infusion can help effectively tackle visible:

Wrinkles

Dark spots

Uneven skin tone

Dullness

Sagginess

All with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime, it’s a convenient option for those looking to improve their skin’s appearance.

It’s like skincare on steroids (but totally safe, when administered the right way).

Just check some results out for yourself:

Now there’s just one tiny catch…

When performed at a clinic, these Micro-Infusion treatments can cost as much as Botox!

Which is why I’d like to introduce you to a cost-effective, at-home way to achieve visible results similar to in-clinic treatments...

Qure Micro-Infusion System: What is it?

The Qure Micro-Infusion System is a 5-minute at-home treatment that allows you to get results similar to what you’d get in a clinic without the jarring clinic prices. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to use!

It’s tiny, almost painless, 24K gold-plated 0.5mm microneedles create tiny channels in the skin’s surface, helping enhance absorption and delivering powerful active ingredients to help:

Boost the feel of firmness

Visibly improve skin texture 

Reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles

Visibly brighten dark spots

Enhance skin’s visible glow

One of my regular patients, let’s call her Clara, switched to Qure after years of Botox…

Not only did she say it saved her “thousands” of dollars…

But she raved for weeks about how she couldn’t believe she found a treatment that left her skin looking glowy and more youthful without the hassle or noticeable discomfort.

Wait – isn’t Qure this just microneedling?

Great question. Not quite. 

Microneedling only involves puncturing the skin with tiny needles.  

The Qure Micro-Infusion System goes the extra mile by delivering science-backed serums designed to target your specific skin concerns where they’re needed most.

The Qure Micro-Infusion System offers two different serums – one that targets visible dark spots and one that targets the appearance of wrinkles. You can choose one or get them both and mix them together for a more holistic treatment! 

So how much does it cost?

When compared to Botox, in-clinic Micro Infusion treatments, and microneedling facials, the Qure Micro-Infusion System is incredibly affordable.

A one month’s supply is only $132, and you can save up to 59% when you purchase a 3-month supply — which means each treatment probably costs less than what you spend on coffee in a week. 

And once you start using the Qure Micro-Infusion System, you may find yourself spending way less on skincare products — because most of what you were looking for in $100 serums, Qure delivers for a fraction of that.

For what you’re getting, this is an absolute steal (if you ask me).

You’re saving thousands of dollars on in-clinic treatments…

You’re saving yourself the hassle of going to endless appointments…

And you’re investing in a dermatologist-loved treatment designed to deliver visible improvements over time, at home.

How to use the Qure Micro-Infusion System

STEP 1 Twist open the chamber of the device and fill it with one ampoule of serum. Twist the needle head with the lid to close it tight.

STEP 2Leave the device upside down for 1-2 minutes. During this time, make sure to do a thorough cleanse to your face and hands to remove any makeup, product and dirt from your skin and keep things sanitary.

STEP 3Once the serum has had enough time to make its way into the needles, you can take off the lid and begin the treatment. I suggest starting at the centre of the face and working outwards.

STEP 4Once treatment is complete, you can take any leftover serum and pat it onto your face and neck and leave on overnight. Place the lid back on the needle head, twist the lid off, and dispose safely.

Is it painful? Will it hurt?

If you’ve ever done Botox, this will feel like a walk in the park.

The ultra-fine needles are thinner than a human hair, meaning you’ll feel minimal discomfort with virtually no pain during treatment for most users.

During the initial stages of treatment, you may experience a slight sensation or prickling feeling as the needles make contact with the skin, but you’ll get used to the feeling quickly.

When will I see results?

It takes just 5 minutes every 2-4 weeks, and many users notice a radiance boost and a fresher-looking complexion within a day or two.

And unlike Botox, the benefits may become more noticeable over time with regular use.

Perform the treatment a day or two before a big event, when you need to look your best, or to boost your skin’s complexion, fast. 

And don’t sleep on your everyday skincare routine – keep it up to boost the effectiveness of your Micro Infusion results and keep skin looking healthy, hydrated, and glowing long-term.
