Your Ultimate Tox Optimization Guide from Get Tox’d

At Get Tox’d, we’re committed to giving you natural, confidence-boosting results with Botox®, Xeomin®, and Dysport®. But here’s the truth: how you prepare for and care after your Tox treatment makes a big difference in how well it works—and how long it lasts.

Let’s break down what the latest medical research says about maximizing your results, so every visit to Get Tox’d leaves you looking as good as you feel.

1. Choose the Right Product for Your Goals

Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport all use botulinum toxin type A, but they’re formulated slightly differently.

Medical Insight:
A 2023 review in Dermatologic Surgery found:

• Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA): Highly studied, slightly slower onset (3–5 days), consistent results.

• Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA): “Naked” formula (no complexing proteins), potentially lower risk of antibody resistance.

• Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA): Quicker onset (2–3 days), better spread for larger areas (like the forehead).

Get Tox’d Tip: Talk to our experts to match the right formula to your aesthetic goals, muscle structure, and previous response.

2. Consistency Is Key: Don’t Wait Too Long Between Treatments

Regular, well-timed treatments can train your facial muscles to contract less, leading to longer-lasting smoothing over time.

Medical Insight:
A 2022 longitudinal study in The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology showed that patients who stayed on a consistent treatment schedule (every 3–4 months) developed fewer static wrinkles over time.

Get Tox’d Tip: Schedule your next appointment before full muscle movement returns to maintain smoother skin longer.

3. Support with the Right Lifestyle and Supplements

Hydration, nutrition, and certain supplements may enhance or protect your results.

Medical Insight:
A 2021 study in Plastic and Aesthetic Research found that zinc supplementation (15–50 mg/day) can boost botulinum toxin efficacy, especially in those who have suboptimal results.

Avoid before treatment: Alcohol, blood-thinning supplements (like fish oil or vitamin E), and NSAIDs, which may increase bruising.

4. Time It Right with Your Life Events

Whether it’s a wedding, reunion, or photo shoot—plan ahead.

Medical Insight:
Most Tox products take 3–14 days to reach full effect. A study in Aesthetic Surgery Journal (2022) noted that peak results for Botox typically appear at day 10, while Dysport may show earlier effects by day 4–7.

Get Tox’d Tip: Book your treatment at least 2–3 weeks before your big event to ensure optimal results (and time to address any tweaks, if needed).

5. Avoid These Common Post-Treatment Mistakes

Botox doesn’t just need expert injection—it needs proper aftercare.

Get Tox’d Top 5 Don’ts (Backed by 2023 Guidelines):

• No lying down for 4 hours

• No heavy exercise for 24–48 hours

• No alcohol for 24 hours

• No heat (saunas, steam) for 24 hours

• No rubbing or massaging treated areas for 24 hours

These help the toxin settle properly and prevent it from migrating to unintended areas.

6. Be Patient with the Process

Medical Insight:
A meta-analysis in Toxins Journal (2022) confirms:

• Botox typically lasts 3–4 months

• Xeomin lasts 3–4 months

• Dysport lasts 3–5 months, depending on area and metabolism

Get Tox’d Tip: Everyone metabolizes differently. Some clients may need more frequent touch-ups, especially in high-movement zones like the forehead or around the eyes.

7. Partner with a Licensed, Skilled Injector

Even the best product won’t shine if it’s not in the right hands. Botox and its counterparts require precise placement to be both effective and natural-looking.

Medical Insight:
A 2023 survey in The Aesthetic Society Journal confirmed that patients treated by board-certified providers with facial anatomy training had significantly higher satisfaction rates and fewer side effects.

Get Tox’d Tip: At Get Tox’d, all injections are performed by licensed medical professionals trained in facial symmetry, muscle dynamics, and dosing strategies tailored to you.

8. Protect Your Results with Good Skincare

Botox smooths wrinkles by relaxing muscle activity—but skincare enhances your glow.

What to use:

• SPF 30+ daily (prevents new wrinkle formation)

• Hyaluronic acid serums (boost hydration and plump skin)

• Retinol or peptides (between treatments, not immediately after)
