Microtox
What is Microtox?
This procedure takes tiny amount of neuromodulator (e.g. Botox, Xeomin) and injects it into the second layer of the skin (dermis). It takes less than an hour to complete and in about 2 weeks, you will notice skin that feels tighter, looks smoother and has less oil, less pore prominence, and undergoes less sweating.
What’s the Procedure Like?
Numbing will be applied to your skin for about 20 minutes. The skin will be cleansed, and the sites for target will be mapped out in a grid like fashion before the treatment is injected into the skin.
Who’s an ideal candidate?
This procedure is for you if you want to have a procedure that lasts ~ 3 months and leaves your skin with a beautiful topography – it looks smoother, pores appear smaller, the skin is less oily, and it feels tighter. This gives surface improvement without having injections into the muscles or deeper layers of the skin.
Who should avoid this treatment?
Anyone who seeks treatment that will treat wrinkles made from muscle movement (e.g. crow’s feet) or treat volume loss (e.g. marionettes) will be more satisified with these treatments. However, patients can undergo Wrinkle Treatment with Botox/ Dysport/ Xeomin/ Nuceiva, Volume Hyaluronic Acid Filler Treatment, and MicroTox, often in one sitting.
What is the downtime for this treatment?
After treatment, the skin will show some pinpoint needle injection sites. These sites close within a few hours; it is recommended that you avoid applying makeup, or doing any sweaty exercise.
