Tox Services in Richmond VA

Neurotoxins are injectable treatments that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles—those caused by expressions like frowning, squinting, or smiling. This results in a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Common treatment areas include forehead lines, glabellar lines (11s between the brows), crow’s feet, brow lifts, and jawline slimming (masseter reduction). Custom treatment plans are available based on your goals.

Jeuveau typically lasts 3–4 months, while Daxxify may last 4-6 weeks longer. Results vary depending on individual metabolism and muscle strength.

Initial results may begin to appear within 2–4 days, with full effects visible by 7–14 days.

There’s minimal to no downtime. You may experience slight redness or swelling at the injection site, which typically resolves within an hour.

No—our approach is customized and conservative to preserve natural expression while softening unwanted lines. We focus on being refreshed, not overdone.

Adults looking to prevent or reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are typically great candidates. A consultation will ensure it's safe and appropriate for you.

Before your appointment

• Do not consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior/post-treatment (alcohol may thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising)

• Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood thinning medications, if possible for a period of 3 days before treatment. 

• Schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks prior to a special event which you may be attending, such as a wedding or a vacation. 

• Be sure to have a good breakfast, including food and drink before your procedure. This will decrease the chances of lightheadedness during your treatment.

• You are not a candidate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

After your appointment

• Head up! Avoid laying down or bending over for 4 hours post treatment. This will prevent the product from tracking into the orbit of the eye causing a drooping eyelid aka ptosis. 

• Do NOT perform activities involving straining, heavy lifting, or vigorous exercise for 6 hours after treatment. This will keep the Botox in the injected area and not elsewhere. 

• We recommend you avoid applying makeup after your treatment to prevent bacteria from entering the injection sites. 

• Hands off! Do NOT manipulate the treated area for 48 hours post-treatment. 

• Do NOT receive facial/laser treatments or microdermabrasion for at least 2 weeks after injections. 

• Some patients may experience a headache post treatment- take Tylenol not Advil for pain relief. -Temporary mild swelling, redness, or bruising may be experienced at treatment sites. Any bruising that occurs can be easily hidden with makeup and typically resolves within a few days. 

• It takes 14 days to see the full results of your treatment. Between days 14-21, you will follow up with your injector to make any adjustments if required. 

• For optimal results, regular and continued treatments are recommended. Be sure to schedule your next visit in 3-4 months.
