How does it work?

Small injections are done with the medication to very specific muscle areas to relax the movement and expression associated with the formation of lines and wrinkles.

How long does it take?

New patients will undergo thorough consultation, mapping, and treatment - usual appointments are approximately 30 minutes.  Once established, appointments for your regular Tox visit are only 10-15 minutes.

How often?

Tox treatments have their best effect for you in the long run if done every 3-4 months.  Results kick in within 2 weeks and last 2-6 months depending on the patient, muscle anatomy, and dosing.

How much does it cost?

Cost for tox injections at Altera vary based on the amount of units used.  The factors affecting units that we use are

1. patient specific goals

2. muscle anatomy

3. static line/wrinkle presence

CONSULTATIONS ARE COMPLIMENTARY.

Where all can you get tox?

The most common areas are on the face listed here.

It’s also used in the superficial layers of the skin as part of our microinfusion facial to decrease pore size, sweating, and oil.  

The only body part we inject at Altera is under the arm for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
