Microtox is a novel technique to administer botulinum toxin into the face and skin. This technique uses multiple tiny Botox injections just below the surface of the skin, resulting in many benefits and great results.
MicroTox® is a cutting-edge technique that places ultra-small doses of botulinum toxin just inside the upper dermis, rather than deep into the facial muscles.
Because the product sits superficially, it calms oil glands, sweat glands, and fine muscle fibers in the skin—leaving your complexion smoother and more refined while preserving natural movement.
| Concern | How MicroTox Helps |
|---|---|
| Fine lines & crepey texture | Softens surface wrinkles for a “blurring” effect |
| Early skin laxity | Creates a light skin-tightening lift |
| Enlarged or visible pores | Shrinks pores by regulating oil production |
| Oily or shiny T-zone | Reduces excess sebum without drying skin |
| Facial sweating & flushing | Calms sweat and transient redness (rosacea, hot flashes) |
The minimally invasive procedure combines small amounts of botulinum toxin with a unique pattern of injection to achieve skin tightening results. MicroTox injections are carried out just below the skin’s surface rather than injecting the substance directly into the muscle.
| Quick Facts | Details |
|---|---|
| Procedure time | ~20 minutes in-office |
| Where injected | Superficial dermis across customized micro-grid |
| Comfort | No anesthesia required; tiny pins feel like light taps |
| Downtime | Pin-point redness or bumps fade within a few hours |
| Longevity | Results vary—most clients schedule touch-ups every 3–4 months |
Consultation – Your provider maps a micro-grid tailored to your concerns (cheeks, chin, forehead, or full face).
Micro-Needle Delivery – A series of micro-droplets are placed just under the skin using a fine needle or stamping device.
Immediate Sheen – You’ll notice a glassy, tightened finish once any redness subsides—full refinement develops over 7-10 days.
Maintain the Glow – Repeat sessions three to four times a year keep pores minimized and texture smooth.
Choose MicroTox if you want to:
Blur fine etched lines without classic “muscle-freezing” Botox.
Tighten crepey cheeks or jawline with zero surgery.
Control oil, flushes, or facial sweating that makeup can’t hide.
Boost results of lasers, microneedling, or skin-care regimens.
Patients with deep dynamic wrinkles (frown lines, crow’s-feet) may combine MicroTox with traditional Botox placed deeper into the muscle for comprehensive smoothing.

Traditional Botox targets deeper facial muscles to reduce movement lines; MicroTox is placed just inside the upper dermis in dozens of micro-droplets. It refines skin texture, oil production, and pore size while leaving full muscular expression intact.
Most commonly: cheeks, lower face/jawline, forehead, chin, and nose (“bunny” lines or enlarged pores). Some patients also treat the hairline or décolletage for crepey skin.
You’ll notice a subtle glass-skin sheen once initial redness fades (usually the same day). Peak pore-tightening and line-blurring develop within 7–10 days.
Results typically hold 3–4 months. Clients seeking continuous refinement schedule maintenance sessions 3–4 times per year.
Discomfort is minimal; the micro-needle feels like light tapping. Because injections are superficial and use very small amounts of product, no anesthetic is usually required.
No. MicroTox works in the skin— not the deep muscles—so facial expressions remain natural. It’s ideal for patients who want smoother skin without altering their smile or brow movement.
Absolutely. Many clients pair it with classic Botox for dynamic wrinkles or add dermal fillers, lasers, or microneedling for comprehensive rejuvenation. Your provider will customize a plan.
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those with active skin infections in the treatment area, or anyone with a known allergy to botulinum-toxin ingredients should postpone treatment and consult their physician.
