Microtox can be used to: 

• Improve skin tone
• Reduce pore size
• Combat oily skin
• Decrease sweat production

By improving these issues, microtox can also improve acne seborrhoea (excessively oily skin), resulting in a smooth and youthful appearance.

Microtox works by administering small doses of Botox beneath the skin, targeting different areas of the face such as:

• Outer edges of the face: give an overall lift to the face by tightening skin, lifting sagginess, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• T-zone: tighten pores to reduce oil and sweat production. This helps to improve acne, reduce the appearance of pores, and controls redness.
• Lower jaw and neck: improve jaw contour and definition and tightens saggy neck skin.

Microtox can also be combined with traditional Botox treatment to further enhance your skin’s youthfulness.

Medical history

It is important to give honest answers with regards to your medical history. This allows your surgeon to make accurate and safe decisions with regards to the procedure. Inform your surgeon about any medications, surgeries, or allergies you have/had. You must also inform your surgeon if you have diabetes, circulatory problems, thyroid problems, and other health issues if any.

Physical examination

Your surgeon will conduct a physical examination of your face and neck to help identify any problem areas that can be treated with microtox. 

After this, you and your surgeon will discuss the options available and the possible results with each option. Once the treatment plan has been decided for you, your procedure will be booked. Before the procedure, you must:

• Stop smoking: smoking reduces blood flow to the skin and hinders the healing process. It also increases your risk of tissue damage.
• Stop some medications: medications such as aspirins and anti-inflammatory drugs are blood thinners which may increase bleeding during and after the procedure.

• Arrive for your appointment without any make-up.
• Numbing cream is applied to your face/neck.
• After 20-30 minutes, small needles are used to inject dilute doses of Botox into the dermis of the targeted areas. 

The whole procedure should take 15-30 minutes and you will have no down time.
