Micro Refine
Micro Refine Singapore for Smoother Texture, Smaller-Looking Pores and Better Skin Quality
Micro Refine is an intradermal microinjection treatment designed to improve skin texture, reduce oiliness and create a more refined surface appearance without changing natural facial expressions. It is especially relevant to patients concerned about enlarged pores, excess shine, roughness and the kind of uneven texture that makeup struggles to hide. By working very superficially within the skin, the treatment targets issues such as overactive sebaceous activity and poor skin refinement rather than deeper facial movement. This makes it attractive to patients searching for a more translucent, smoother, “glass skin” look without the stiffness they may associate with traditional anti-wrinkle injections.
What is Micro Refine?
Micro Refine is a skin refinement procedure using superficial botulinum toxin microinjections placed within the skin rather than deep into facial muscles. Its focus is texture, pore appearance and oil control.
How is intradermal treatment different?
Because the injections are intradermal rather than intramuscular, the treatment is designed to refine the skin without freezing normal facial expression. This distinction is important for patients who want natural movement.
It is commonly considered for visible pores, excess oil, fine surface roughness and skin that looks less translucent or polished than desired.

Why do patients connect it with “glass skin”?
As oiliness becomes better controlled and the skin surface looks finer, light reflects more evenly. This can create a clearer, more refined appearance.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is usually low. Small pin-prick marks may be visible for a short period, which is why many patients schedule it as a weekend or lunchtime treatment.
What can complement Micro Refine?
Airbrush FX Light or BroadBand Light may be considered where further resurfacing, clarity or brightness improvement is needed alongside texture refinement.
