What is Microtox?
Microtox is an injectable cosmetic treatment that combines Botox with other dermal fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, or Radiesse, and in conjunction with vitamins & supplements.
How is Microtox intended to be used?
Microtox is for full facial rejuvenation, meaning that it is intended to essentially lift and tighten the skin of the face, while also addressing other facial concerns such as wrinkles and fine lines.
How does Microtox work?
Active Ingredient:
Microtox utilizes Botox, specifically the Botulinum neurotoxin, to relax facial muscles.
Combination with Dermal Fillers:
- The injectable treatment combines Botox with dermal fillers to enhance facial features and restore contours.
- Dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite, contribute to a smoother skin appearance.
Injection Process:
- Microtox is administered just below the skin’s surface using a very thin needle.
- This is in contrast to Botox, which is injected directly into facial muscles.
Precision in Injection Site:
- The precise site of Microtox injection allows for more natural-looking results compared to traditional Botox.
- Enables treatment in smaller, more specific areas, providing a targeted approach.
Distinguishing Results
- Microtox offers results that are different from traditional Botox due to the combination with dermal fillers and the specific injection technique.
- The overall effect is a more refined appearance with enhanced facial features and contours.
What are the typical treatment areas?
The typical treatment area includes most of the face and is usually done on facial concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, or crows feet.
How is Microtox different from Botox?
Microtox differs from Botox in that it results in a more subtle or natural look since Microtox is essentially Botox but diluted and with dermal fillers. Microtox is cosmetic, so it’s not meant to be used for medical conditions, but Botox can be used for medical conditions such as chronic migraines or TMJ pain.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of Microtox treatments varies depending on individual goals, but multiple maintenance treatments are recommended to be done every few months based on your results and needs.
How long is the typical treatment?
The typical treatment time for Microtox is no more than 30 minutes! This makes it so that the procedure is convenient for people with busy schedules and you could get it done during a lunch break!

To minimize lasting side effects, follow post-treatment instructions, report unusual side effects promptly, and consult thoroughly before deciding on a Microtox or any other cosmetic procedure.
Is a Microtox treatment painful?
