What is “Tox”? How does it work?
“Tox” is a common term used to describe neuromodulator injections such as Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®. These wrinkle relaxer treatments work by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause deeper wrinkles from repetitive expressions like frowning or squinting. ‘Tox’ injections are commonly used for wrinkle reduction, fine lines, and preventative aging, and are one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments today.
What types of ‘Tox’ do you offer at Jeunesse Medical Spa?
At Jeunesse, we offer Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin injections, all of which are FDA-approved neuromodulators. Offering multiple 'tox' options allows us to customize each treatment based on your facial anatomy, skin texture, muscle movement, and skin goals, whether you’re looking for natural-looking Botox results, wrinkle prevention, or facial rejuvenation.

How are Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin different?
Botox: The most well-known wrinkle relaxer. Known for precision, consistent results, and predictability, often recommended for first-time Botox patients.
Dysport: Spreads slightly more than Botox, making it a popular option for treating larger areas like the forehead and for patients seeking a softer, more diffused look.
Xeomin: A “pure” form of botulinum toxin without added proteins; often chosen by patients who have developed resistance to Botox or Dysport or who want a simpler formula.
How do I choose the best product for my wrinkles and skin concerns?
Choosing between Botox vs Dysport vs Xeomin depends on your individual concerns, such as wrinkle depth, skin texture, facial movement, and desired results. During your consultation, our experienced injectors will assess your facial anatomy and recommend the best neuromodulator to help you achieve smooth, refreshed, and natural-looking results tailored to your goals.
