NEUROTOXIN

​    All neurotoxins (‘tox) are Botulinum Toxin A. There are four brands of ‘tox: Botox-Cosmetic, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau and they all work the same way. The brands we currently carry are Dysport and Xeomin. Once injected into the facial skeletal muscles, it causes weakness of that muscle, preventing a muscle contraction and thus treating the wrinkle on the skin caused by the contraction.

FAQ ABOUT TOX

  • WHAT CAN TOXIN DO?
    Tox treats wrinkles and lines that are caused by aging and repetitive muscle contraction.
  • HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO WORK?
    Some may see results in as little as 48 hours, while most tox peaks in 14 days.
  • HOW LONG DOES THE TOXIN LAST?
    Tox can last upwards of 3 months. Duration is dose dependent, meaning the higher the dose (units) the longer it will last. That being said, not everyone requires the same dose, and factors such as increased metabolism affect longevity.
  • ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS AFTER TREATMENT?
    It is recommended not to partake in activities that will increase blood flow to your face for the first 24 hours, including exercise, excessive heat & sun exposure. NO lying down for 4 hours. NO facials/massages/lasers/skin treatments for 2 weeks. These restrictions are put in place to keep the precisely placed tox exactly where we want it to stay.
