Tox in Oakville, Ontario
Smooth fine lines and wrinkles with Tox in Oakville. This injectable treatment relaxes overactive facial muscles to soften expression lines while keeping your look natural and refreshed.
What Is Tox?
Tox is a simple, everyday term used to describe wrinkle-relaxing injectables like Botox® and similar products. While Botox® is the most well-known name, there are a few trusted options that work the same way (such as Dysport and Nuceiva) and they’re often grouped together as “Tox.”
These treatments work by relaxing the facial muscles that create expression lines from smiling, frowning, or raising your brows. When those muscles are softened, the skin above looks smoother and more refreshed, without changing your natural expressions.
Tox can also be used beyond wrinkle treatment, including for concerns like excess sweating or jaw tension, depending on your goals and needs.
How Tox Works
Tox is administered through a series of tiny injections into targeted facial muscles. By gently relaxing these muscles, the overlying skin smooths out naturally, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Treatments are quick and require no downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
There are no known generalized side effects to Tox. Complications are rare but possible side effects include the weakening of a nearby muscle, resulting in its temporary loss of function (e.g., a droopy eyelid).
Effects vary from person to person, but usually last for approximately 3-4 months. As the effects gradually wear off, muscle activity in the treated area returns, and wrinkles and fine lines progressively reappear. Our nurse injectors can help you determine a timeline for your sessions to help you enjoy the benefits of the treatment for as long as possible.
Candidates often want to reduce and prevent the appearance of dynamic wrinkles (for example, frown lines, bunny lines or crow’s feet). This treatment is considered safe for most patients, but is generally not advised for pregnant or breastfeeding patients or those with serious illnesses or neurological diseases.*
