Question 1

What is tox and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Botulinum toxin is a purified protein used in cosmetic treatments to relax certain muscles. It works by blocking the signals that tell your muscles to contract. This helps smooth out lines caused by repeated facial movements, like frowning or squinting.

Question 2

Will I look “frozen” or unnatural?

Accepted Answer

Not if it’s done properly. If too much is used or it spreads too far, the face can look stiff. But a trained injector knows how to use the right amount in the right spots to relax the muscles just enough—softening lines while still letting you look natural and express yourself.

Question 3

When will I see results and how long do they last?

Accepted Answer

You’ll start to notice results within 2 to 3 days after your treatment, with full results showing by day 10 to 14. The effects usually last 3 to 4 months, depending on things like your metabolism, muscle strength, and how your body responds to the treatment.

Question 4

Is the treatment painful?

Accepted Answer

Tox is injected using very tiny needles, so most people feel just a quick pinch. Any discomfort is usually from the needle touching the skin—not from the product itself—and it passes quickly.

Question 5

Are there any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Mild redness or bruising at the injection site is common and fades quickly. Rarely, a droopy eyelid or uneven results can happen if the product spreads. Serious reactions are extremely rare due to the small, localized dose used.

Question 6

Can tox prevent wrinkles from forming?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Preventative tox—often called ‘prejuvenation’—can help delay the formation of deeper, permanent wrinkles. By relaxing the muscles early on, it reduces the constant creasing of the skin, which helps protect collagen and keep the skin looking smoother over time.
