Tox, short for botulinum toxin, is a popular neurotoxin used in the cosmetic industry to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Beyond cosmetic benefits, Tox is also an effective treatment for medical conditions such as chronic migraines, excessive sweating, and TMJ.
While Tox treatments can provide significant relief and rejuvenation, proper aftercare is essential to ensure optimal results and minimize potential side effects.
Common Side Effects of Tox Treatments
Tox is generally safe and effective when administered by a licensed provider. However, like any medical procedure, it may cause temporary side effects, including:
- Bruising
- Pain at the injection site
Athough there are potential side effects, they are typically mild and subside within a few days. Always discuss any concerns or potential risks with your provider before your Tox treatment.

Essential Tox Aftercare Tips
To get the most out of your Botox or Jeuveau treatment, follow these aftercare guidelines:
- Avoid Touching or Rubbing the Treated Area-Do not touch, rub, or massage the injection sites for at least 24 hours to prevent spreading the Tox to unintended areas.
- Skip Strenuous Activity and Heat- Avoid vigorous exercise, hot showers, or saunas for 24 hours. Excessive sweating and increased blood flow can affect your results.
- Limit Alcohol and Blood Thinners-Do not consume alcohol, aspirin, or other blood-thinning medications for at least 24 hours post-treatment (always consult your physician first). This helps reduce the risk of bruising.
- Use Cold Compresses-Apply an ice pack or cold compress to the treated area to minimize swelling or bruising if this should
- Attend Follow-Up Appointments-Go to any recommended follow-up appointments so your provider can monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan if needed.

Every patient’s aftercare instructions may vary based on individual needs and the injection site.
