Injectable Tox
ANTI-WRINKLE & MUSCLE RELAXANT
XEOMIN® / BOTOX®
Achieve a naturally refreshed look with our precise anti-wrinkle Tox treatments
What are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?
Anti-Wrinkle Injections use highly purified proteins, known as Botulinum Toxin Type A (Tox). When injected into targeted muscles, this neurotoxin blocks the release of a chemical signal (acetylcholine) that tells the muscle to contract.
We use the industry’s most trusted muscle relaxants, Xeomin® and Botox®, to safely and effectively soften lines, reshape facial contours, and provide relief from medical conditions like excessive sweating and jaw tension.
These injectable treatments work by temporarily relaxing specific muscles responsible for movement, creating a smoother, more refreshed appearance while preventing the formation of deep, permanent lines. Whether you seek to refresh your appearance or find relief from persistent tension, our tailored approach ensures natural, elegant results.
How do they improve appearance and treat concerns?
The primary function of Tox is to temporarily pause muscle movement. This results in three key benefits:
Wrinkle Reduction (Static Lines)
By relaxing the underlying muscle (e.g., the frown muscle), the skin over that muscle smooths out, significantly reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles (those caused by movement) and allowing static lines (those visible at rest) to soften over time.
Muscle Shaping & Tension Relief
When injected into larger, stronger muscles (like the Masseter or Trapezius), Tox causes the muscle to shrink over time. This can be used for cosmetic slimming (Jaw Slimming) or for therapeutic relief from muscle tension (Teeth Grinding/TMJ).
Gland Control (Hyperhidrosis)
When used to treat excessive sweating, Tox temporarily blocks the nerve signals that stimulate the sweat glands, dramatically reducing moisture in the treated area.
-
Smoother Skin: Significantly reduces the appearance of frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet.
Natural Results: When expertly administered, the treatment looks natural, preserving expression while reducing harsh lines.
Minimal Downtime: Quick procedure with almost no interruption to your day.
Relief from Tension: Effective treatment for headaches, teeth grinding, and jaw pain.
Long-Lasting: Results typically last 3–4 months (longer for some medical treatments like Hyperhidrosis).
-
Tox injections are suitable for a wide range of cosmetic and medical clients:
Preventative Treatment (Pro-Youth): Individuals in their mid-20s and early 30s who wish to prevent the formation of static wrinkles.
Correction: Those with established dynamic wrinkles (e.g., deep frown lines, crow's feet) who want a smoother complexion.
Medical Relief: Clients suffering from teeth grinding (bruxism), chronic headaches related to jaw tension, or excessive underarm/hand sweating (Hyperhidrosis).
Contouring: Individuals seeking non-surgical refinement of the jawline or neck.
Treatment Details
The Procedure
The procedure is quick, typically taking 10–30 minutes depending on the number of areas treated.
Your Ojo Injectables practitioner will cleanse the area and use a very fine needle to administer the product into the specific muscle sites.
Discomfort is minimal and brief.
Aftercare
Downtime is minimal. You may experience slight redness or minor bruising at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few hours.
Avoid: Lying down, rubbing, or massaging the treated area for 4–6 hours post-treatment.
Avoid: Strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot tubs for 24 hours.
Do: Contract the treated muscles gently a few times an hour for the first hour to encourage product uptake.
Longevity
Results typically last 3–4 months*.
For therapeutic treatments like Hyperhidrosis or Masseter slimming, results may last longer (up to 6–9 months*) before a top-up is required.
*Please note: The duration of results can vary significantly from person to person due to factors such as individual metabolism, muscle activity levels, lifestyle, and the rate at which your body naturally absorbs and breaks down the neurotoxin. Regular treatment helps maintain the desired result and can often prevent the need for higher dosing over time.
Results
The effects of the treatment are not immediate.
You will usually start to notice muscle relaxation after 3–5 days, with the full effect visible around 10–14 days post-injection.
We typically schedule a two-week review appointment to assess your results and administer any necessary minor adjustments.
Injectable Tox Treatments
We categorise our Tox treatments to ensure clear focus, whether your goal is simple refreshment or advanced contouring.
Standard Anti-Wrinkle Treatments
UPPER FACE REFRESH
Focuses on softening dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions, providing a rested and rejuvenated appearance across the forehead and around the eyes.
Frown Lines
Eliminates the vertical lines between the eyebrows that cause a perpetually stressed or angry look. Often the first area treated for both cosmetic and preventative results.
Forehead
Softens the horizontal lines across the forehead. Requires careful dosing to avoid 'heavy' brows; often treated simultaneously with Frown Lines.
Crow's Feet
Reduces the lines radiating from the outer corners of the eyes. Creates a smoother look when smiling or squinting; can sometimes be combined with a Brow Lift.
Brow Lift
Subtle elevation of the brow tails by relaxing the muscles that pull the brow down. Creates a slightly more open, lifted, and youthful eye area without surgery.
Facial Contouring & Smile Enhancement
Uses targeted micro-dosing to refine the lower face, subtly enhance the lips without filler, correct smile imperfections, and smooth dimpling in the chin.
Lip Flip
Creates the appearance of a fuller top lip by relaxing the muscle that pulls the lip inward when smiling. Provides subtle enhancement without adding volume; ideal for clients who do not want filler.
DAOs Smile Lift
Relaxes the DAO muscles, which pull the corners of the mouth down. Helps lift downturned mouth corners, giving a happier, more positive resting expression.
Gummy Smile
Lowers upper lip slightly when smiling, reducing the visibility of the gums. Provides an aesthetically pleasing change to the smile.
Bunny Lines
Softens the crinkling or diagonal lines that appear on the sides of the nose when smiling or scrunching the face.
Chin
Reduces the 'pebbling' or 'orange peel' texture of dimpling on the chin. Can also help slightly lengthen and smooth the chin projection.
Jaw & Neck Contouring and Tension Relief
Targets large muscles in the lower face and neck to provide non-surgical slimming (Jaw Slimming), definition (Nefertiti Lift), and significant relief from chronic tension and teeth grinding.
Masseter
Jaw Slimming / Jaw Tension Relief / Teeth Grinding
Reduces muscle bulk for a slimmer, V-shaped jawline, or relaxes the muscle to relieve teeth grinding and jaw pain (TMJ). Therapeutic benefits often precede cosmetic slimming; effect on muscle bulk takes 4–6 weeks to fully develop.
Nefertiti Lift
Defines the jawline and tightens the appearance of the upper neck by relaxing the muscles that pull the jawline downward. Named after the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, known for her chiselled jawline.
Platysma Bands
Smooths and relaxes the prominent vertical "bands" that appear on the neck when clenching the jaw or talking. Creates a smoother, tighter appearance in the central neck.
Traps Tox (Trapezius)
Shoulder/Neck Contouring and Tension Relief
Relaxes the large trapezius muscles, resulting in pain relief and a more elongated, elegant neck line ("Swan Neck"). Requires higher dosing; provides both a slimming cosmetic effect and significant tension relief.
Hyperhidrosis / Excessive Sweating
THERAPEUTIC TREATMENT
A highly effective medical application of Tox designed to significantly reduce excessive sweating in the underarm and hand areas, providing long-lasting functional relief.
Excessive Sweating Reduction
Blocks nerve signals to sweat glands for dramatic and long-lasting relief. Primarily a medical treatment; results typically last 6–9 months, longer than cosmetic Tox.
-
Individuals with clinical or lifestyle-related excessive sweating.
Those who don’t respond well to topical treatments.
Anyone seeking more comfort and confidence in daily life.
-
The treatment is quick, taking around 20-30 minutes to complete. Tox is administered in micro-injections into the sweat-prone area.
Minimal discomfort. Numbing available if requested.
-
