Unless you’ve been living under a rock, by now, you’ve probably heard about Botox®. Afterall, it is that *magic* injection that improves wrinkles, skin tone, and results in HAPPINESS (it’s true….Botox® has been shown to improve depressed mood)!
While most of us refer to all “Tox” brands as “Botox” this class of medications are formally referred to as neuromodulator agents and there are several brands available for use here in the USA. Those include Jeuveau®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and good ‘ol Botox®. In fact, all of these medications contain the same active ingredient – Botulinium Type A. Tox products work by temporarily making it harder for you to make certain facial expressions, such as frowning, thus reducing lines created by the actions of these muscles. Side effects are minimal and include the potential for bruising and mild swelling at the injection sites and treatment effects are typically seen within a few days of injection.

At Tox & Tonic we specialize in Tox injections! Our Nurse Injectors have received extensive training in the use of Tox for both on-label and off-label (commonly treated but non-FDA approved) areas with ALL of the FDA-approved Tox products currently available. We understand the differences in effect between the various brands, as well as the effect of dosing changes, precise placement, and even specialty Tox treatments such as treatments for excessive sweating, MicroTox Tightening and HydraTox Gold Needling.
Nervous about getting Tox injections?! Don’t be! Our Nurse Injectors take your safety very seriously. All potential effects – both good and bad – will be discussed with you, in detail, prior to your treatment. We will make sure you feel comfortable with your treatment plan and that all of your questions are answered. We even offer a FREE VIRTUAL CONSULTATION so you can determine which treatment areas may be right for you!
We look forward to helping you ROCK YOUR TOX!
