Understanding "Tox" Treatments

Xeomin ("Tox"), a neurotoxin similar to Botox, is administered via injections to temporarily relax facial muscles and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. As with any injectable treatment, it's crucial to follow specific aftercare guidelines to promote healing and minimize potential side effects.

Immediate Post-Treatment Care

Immediately following your "Tox" treatment, adhere to the following guidelines to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery:

• Avoid Excessive Alcohol, Sweating, or Pain Relievers: Avoid excessive alcohol, sweating, or pain relievers (except Tylenol) for 24 hours.
• Avoid Makeup: No makeup for 24 hours to allow the skin to seal and avoid contamination.

Long-Term Aftercare Guidelines

In the days and weeks following your "Tox" treatment, incorporate the following aftercare practices into your skincare routine to optimize results and ensure prolonged efficacy:

• Keep the Area Clean and Dry: Keep the treated area clean and dry.
• Normal Skincare Routine: You may continue with your normal skincare routine.
• Sun Protection: Wear sunscreen with SPF 30+ at the treatment site for up to 72 hours.

Understanding Potential Side Effects

While "Tox" treatments are generally well-tolerated, it's essential to be aware of potential side effects and take appropriate measures to manage them:

• Bruising: Mild bruising at the injection site is common and typically resolves within a few days. Apply arnica gel or cream to minimize bruising and promote healing.
• Swelling: Mild swelling may occur following treatment, particularly around the eyes or forehead. Apply cold compresses and avoid salty foods to reduce swelling.
• Redness: Temporary redness or erythema at the injection site is normal and should subside within a few hours post-treatment. Avoid harsh skincare products and cosmetics that may exacerbate redness.
