What is Tox?
“Tox” is short for neurotoxin treatments—most commonly recognized by brand names like Botox and Dysport. These injectables are made from botulinum toxin type A and are used to temporarily relax specific facial muscles, helping to smooth fine lines and soften dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated expressions.
Tox is one of the most effective and popular treatments for achieving a refreshed, youthful appearance with minimal to no downtime. It is also widely used preventatively to slow the development of deeper expression lines before they become more permanent, helping you maintain smother, more balanced skin over time.
How does Tox work?
Tox treatments work by injecting a small amount of product directly into targeted facial muscles to temporarily relax facial muscles to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements, especially in areas like the forehead, between the brows (the “11s”), and around the eyes (crow’s feet).
What to expect during a Botox/Dysport treatment?
During a Botox or Dysport treatment at Botanic Zen Aesthetics in Colby, Wisconsin, a certified provider will first consult with you to understand your aesthetic goals. The treatment involves a series of small injections into the targeted muscles. The procedure is relatively quick, typically takes approximately 30 minutes, and most patients experience minimal discomfort.
Are there any side effects with Botox/Dysport?
Common side effects of Botox and Dysport include mild tenderness, redness or swelling at the injection site. These effects are usually temporary and resolve within a few days. Rarely do some individuals experience headaches or bruising, but these side effects are also temporary.
How soon will I see results from Botox/Dysport?
Results from Botox and Dysport treatments usually begin to appear within 3 to 5 days, with the full effect visible within two weeks. The results typically last three to four months for Botox and six months for Dysport, after which the treatment can be repeated to maintain the desired look.
Who is a good candidate for Botox/Dysport treatments?
Good candidates for Botox and Dysport treatments are individuals who want to reduce the appearance and prevent the progression of wrinkles and fine lines, have realistic expectations, and are in good overall health. They are also suitable for those experiencing conditions like hyperhidrosis or bruxism.
How do I prepare for a Botox/Dysport treatment?
To prepare for a Botox or Dysport treatment, avoid consuming alcohol and taking blood-thinning medications, like aspirin or ibuprofen, for at least 24 hours before the procedure. This preparation helps minimize the risk of bruising at the injection sites.
How can I maintain the results of my Botox/Dysport treatment?
To maintain the results of your Botox or Dysport treatment, follow a consistent skincare routine, protect your skin from excessive sun exposure, and avoid smoking. Regular follow-up treatments every three to six months are also recommended to keep your skin looking smooth and youthful.
