The Best Places To Get Tox On Your Face and Why?
One question we get at Pur Aesthetics and Wellness is, “Where can I get tox injections? Where are the BEST places to get tox injections?” The face has 43 muscles, and the neck has over 20 muscles, so we know it can be tricky figuring out where you should get tox injections!
Leave the anatomy to us! All of the injectors at Pur are experts in anatomy and know each tiny muscle, where it is, and how it moves.
We want to provide clarification for all of your tox questions! Many of our clients are curious about where to get injections, what the results will look like, and want information on tox!
Let’s discuss those questions and more.
The Basics of Tox
“Tox” refers to any injections of botulinum toxin. At the beginning of every appointment, your injector will study your facial muscles, ask you to scrunch and then relax muscles, and will discuss goals. You will get your injections with a skinny needle, and you can expect the appointment to be 30 minutes or less!
Results aren’t immediate; it can take up to 2 weeks to see the full results. But now let’s talk about where we should put tox injections! There are a few different brands, and when you come into Pur Aesthetics and Wellness, we can discuss which might be right for you.
Tox Injections In Your Forehead
This is tox 101, what people always think of when they think of tox injections! The basic info is that people get tox injections in their forehead to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines that form on the forehead due to repeated muscle movements, such as frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows. People often notice these lines before others and feel those forehead lines are aging them.
Consider tox injections if you already notice wrinkles on your forehead, but also consider forehead injections for wrinkle prevention! When we stop muscles from contracting, we avoid repetitive contractions, thus preventing wrinkles! Sounds great, right?
Tox Injections For Crow’s Feet
Crow’s feet refer to the lines on the lateral sides of your eyes. Like most wrinkles, crow’s feet start out very tiny but become more pronounced. You might notice them only when you smile, but they will eventually be visible even when facial muscles are at rest.
A lifetime of laughing, crying, squinting in the sun, and more contribute to crow’s feet. We want all of our clients to look as young as they feel, so we love the results that come with tox injections in the crow’s feet area.
Tox Injections In Between Your Eyebrows
The vertical lines that form in between your eyes are just not cute, right? We call these eleven lines because the two short vertical lines look like an “11.” We can use small amounts of tox injections to relax the muscles, so you can say goodbye to your elevens even when you try to scrunch your nose.
Tox Injections For Bunny Lines
Bunny lines are the fine wrinkles or creases on the sides of the nose when you smile or scrunch your nose. We call them bunny lines because they resemble the nose wrinkles of a bunny rabbit. (Cute on a rabbit, not so much on our faces, correct?) Bunny lines can be a natural result of facial expressions, and they can become more pronounced over time as the skin loses elasticity and collagen. Some people may find bunny lines undesirable or feel self-conscious about their appearance. Tox injections are used to reduce the appearance of bunny lines.
We mentioned eleven lines above, but let’s clarify eleven lines vs. bunny lines. Eleven lines: vertical lines in between your eyebrows. These are above bunny lines, which are horizontal and lower on your nose.
Tox Injections For Lip Lines and Lip Flip
Are you ever bothered by wrinkles around your lips? As we age, fine lines or wrinkles naturally form around the lips. Lip lines are often caused by repetitive muscle movements, such as pursing the lips, smoking, or age-related loss of collagen in the skin. A lifetime of using straws for drinking contributes to the formation of perioral wrinkles.
A lip flip is a cosmetic procedure that uses injections to enhance the appearance of the lips without adding any volume to them. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume to the lips, a lip flip involves injecting a small amount of botulinum toxin into the muscles around the lips.
The botulinum toxin works by temporarily relaxing the muscles around the mouth, which can cause the upper lip to “flip” slightly upward, resulting in a fuller appearance. This can also help to reduce the appearance of fine lines or wrinkles around the lips.
Marionette Lines and Chin Tox Injections
Marionette lines are the lines that extend from the corners of the mouth down to your chin. We all develop a downward pull of the muscles in the lower face, which causes these lines to become more pronounced. We love when clients opt to get tox injections here. These injections really work to give a youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
The muscles in your chin are the mentalis muscles. Mental creases are the vertical lines on the chin caused by the contraction of the mentalis muscle, which is responsible for puckering the chin. These chin wrinkles bother many of our clients. We love finishing the face with tox injections in the chin; it makes a huge difference!
Neck Tox Injections
Clients often talk about their necks as one reason they’re self-conscious. People often complain about the vertical muscles that bulge at our neck, platysmal muscles. Tox injections are a great option if those muscle bands bother you.
We have clients who use tox injections for a complete neck and jaw glow-up, a Nefertiti Lift. This improves vertical bands and horizontal lines and can improve the appearance of sagging jowls.
