What is MicroTox and how does it work?

MicroTox is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that uses microinjections of botulinum toxin into superficial facial muscles to relax them. This reduces fine lines, improves skin texture, and enhances overall facial appearance by smoothing the skin while maintaining natural expressions.

What skin concerns can MicroTox treat?

MicroTox is commonly used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture and radiance, and provide subtle lifting effects. It targets superficial facial muscles, helping the skin appear smoother and more youthful over time.

MicroTox is considered a safe, minimally invasive procedure when performed by trained medical professionals. At Venom & Velvet, treatments are customized for each client’s facial anatomy to ensure safety, comfort, and natural-looking results.

What should I expect during and after a MicroTox session?

During a MicroTox session, small injections are applied to targeted areas of the face. Most clients experience only mild discomfort or slight redness. There is minimal downtime, and clients can return to normal activities immediately. Results gradually appear over several days and last for several months.

How many MicroTox sessions are recommended?

The number of MicroTox sessions depends on individual skin concerns and goals. Many clients benefit from a series of treatments spaced a few months apart for optimal, long-lasting results. A consultation with a Venom & Velvet nurse injector determines the best personalized plan.
