Understanding Botox
Botox/Dysport/Daxxify are all neurotoxins that are FDA-approved injectables that relax the muscles that cause facial wrinkles. It can soften fine lines and wrinkles while helping prevent new ones. Tox injections are widely regarded as a top-tier treatment among patients who want to fight and delay facial aging.
Common Botox Treatment Areas
Tox injections are a highly versatile treatment that targets various aesthetic concerns, providing smooth and youthful results with minimal downtime. Some of the most common areas where tox injections can help:
- Frown Lines: Helps smooth the "11s", aka frown lines, between your eyebrows. This reduces the appearance of furrows and gives you a more relaxed, youthful expression.
- Forehead Lines: Excellent for addressing horizontal forehead lines, whether just creeping in or already set in. It gives you a smooth and refreshed look.
- Crow's Feet: The area around your eyes can develop lines called crow's feet due to years of smiling, squinting, and sun exposure. Tox helps reduce these lines for a more youthful appearance.
- Gummy Smiles: Some people show excessive gum tissue (a "gummy smile") when they grin. Tox can relax the muscles around the mouth, causing your lips to rise less when you smile and reducing the visibility of your gums.
- Lip Flip: Tox can also create a natural, subtle lift of the top lip, making your lips appear subtly fuller and more defined without the need for fillers.
- Jelly Rolls: Tox can smooth out "jelly rolls," the under-eye area that can look overly puffy. It relaxes this area and diminishes small lines to help make your eyes look larger when you smile.
- Neckbands: Tox can relax the muscles underneath the platysmal bands (the vertical lines that can appear at the front of the neck as you age.) This can give your neck a more youthful and toned look.
Tox injections can also be used in other parts of the body. For example, it's a treatment for chronic migraines, TMJ, and excessive sweating.

Most patients say that tox injections are virtually painless. The needle is ultra-thin so that patients may feel a short-lived sting. Any brief discomfort fades almost immediately. Most patients don't bruise, but some minor pinpoint bruises are possible. These generally fade in a few days.
