Services Tox & Injectables
A precise, consultation-guided injectable treatment that softens the look of expression lines — the area, dose, and plan are chosen for you, not applied as a one-size-fits-all package.

“Tox” refers to neuromodulator injectables — a treatment that’s injected directly into targeted facial muscles with a fine needle to temporarily relax them. Those are the muscles behind “dynamic” wrinkles, the lines that form from repeated expressions like frowning, squinting, or raising your brows. There’s no cutting and no downtime, though very mild, brief redness or swelling right at the injection sites is normal.
Results aren’t immediate — it takes a few days to begin showing and continues to settle in over the following one to two weeks. The effect is temporary, gradually fading over time, which is why patients return for periodic maintenance sessions.
Tox is most effective on expression-related dynamic wrinkles — it doesn’t address static wrinkles caused by lost volume or sun damage the same way. For those, dermal fillers are often a better fit. We offer both, and we’ll help you sort out which one (or which combination) actually matches what you’re seeing at your consultation.

Here’s the honest rundown of a tox appointment, from treatment to results.
A few small injections are placed directly into the targeted muscles with a fine needle. Appointments are quick, with no cutting and no anesthesia required — some mild, brief redness or swelling right at the injection sites is normal.
Session length: Quick, in-office appointmentResults aren’t instant — you’ll typically begin to notice softening within a few days, with the full effect settling in over the following week or two as the muscles relax.
Onset: Gradual, over one to two weeksThere’s no real downtime — most patients return to their day right after. The effect is temporary and gradually fades over time, which is why maintenance sessions are part of an ongoing plan for most patients.
Recovery: Minimal to none
Tox relaxes the muscles behind dynamic, expression-driven wrinkles — like frown lines or crow’s feet. Dermal fillers add volume instead, which helps with static wrinkles and areas that have lost fullness. We offer both and can help you figure out which one, or which combination, fits what you’re seeing at a consultation.
Results aren’t immediate — softening typically begins to show within a few days, with the full effect settling in over the following one to two weeks.
The effect is temporary and fades gradually over time. Exactly how long it lasts varies by person, treatment area, and dose, which is why we talk through a maintenance schedule that fits you at your consultation.
Most patients describe it as a quick pinch rather than significant pain — the needle used is very fine, and injections are placed precisely into the targeted muscle.
Virtually none. Some mild, brief redness or swelling right at the injection sites is normal, but most patients return to their day immediately after.
Common areas include forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet around the eyes — the specific areas and dose are always mapped out together at your consultation.
