Tox
Smooth lines. Relax tension. Look refreshed—never frozen.
Neuromodulator injections in Philadelphia, or Tox, use FDA-approved treatments like Botox®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau® to soften expression lines, prevent deeper wrinkles, and create a rested, balanced appearance.
At Ari Blanc, tox is approached with precision and restraint—focused on subtle refinement, facial harmony, and results that still look like you.
Botox®, Dysport®, & Jeuveau® in Philly
Tox refers to FDA-approved neuromodulators such as Botox® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and Jeuveau® — injectable wrinkle relaxers designed to soften lines caused by repetitive facial movement and the natural aging process. It can also be used to address minor facial asymmetries that stem from muscle imbalance—such as uneven brows or asymmetric expressions.
The goal isn’t to erase movement entirely. It’s to reduce excess muscle activity, allowing the skin to smooth while still looking natural and expressive.
How Neuromodulator Injections Work
Botox®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau® works by interrupting the communication between nerves and targeted facial muscles. In simple terms: it gives your muscles a break.
When muscles repeatedly contract over time—like frowning, squinting, or raising your brows—they contribute to deeper lines as skin elasticity changes with age. Tox temporarily relaxes those muscles, allowing the skin to smooth while preventing excessive movement that leads to deeper creases.
Think of it as pressing pause on overworked muscles—for about three to four months.
Common Botox Treatment Areas
What Tox Can Treat
Tox is commonly used to soften lines caused by repetitive facial movement and to rebalance muscle activity that can affect expression, symmetry, and overall facial harmony. When strategically placed, it can also address tension-related concerns and enhance facial proportions—without changing facial structure.
Tox is commonly used to improve:
Crow’s Feet
Frown Lines / 11’s
Forehead Lines
Neck Lines
Bunny Lines
Brow Asymmetry
Pebble Chin
Overactive Trapezius Muscles
Lip Lines
Thin Upper Lip
Gummy Smile
Masseter
Treatment areas and dosing are always determined through a personalized consultation, based on facial anatomy, muscle strength, and movement patterns. Not every area is right for every client—and that’s by design.
Skin Quality Benefits
In addition to movement-related improvements, many clients notice:
Smoother-looking skin in treated areas
A more refined appearance of pores
A rested, polished look—particularly across the forehead and upper face
Is Tox Right for You?
Who Is a Good Candidate for Tox?
Tox treatments — including Botox®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau® — are ideal for adults who want to soften dynamic wrinkles without changing the character of their face.
If you notice lines forming when you frown, raise your brows, or smile, neuromodulators may help reduce the muscle activity causing those creases. Many clients begin Botox as a preventative treatment in their late 20s or 30s, while others start later when expression lines become more visible at rest.
You may be a strong candidate for wrinkle relaxers if you:
- Want to smooth forehead lines, frown lines (11s), or crow’s feet
- Prefer a non-surgical option with minimal downtime
- Experience jaw tension, teeth grinding, or overactive masseter muscles
- Are looking for subtle refinement — not dramatic change
The best way to determine candidacy is through consultation. At Ari Blanc Medical Spa in Philadelphia, every neuromodulator appointment begins with an assessment of facial anatomy, muscle strength, medical history, and aesthetic goals.

The Tox Treatment Experience
What to Expect During Your Tox Appointment
Your appointment begins with a personalized consultation to assess facial movement, muscle strength, and your aesthetic goals.
Once placement and dosing are determined, treatment typically takes about 15 minutes. Most clients return to normal activities right away.
Below, you’ll find guidance on preparation, results timeline, and how to maintain your outcome.
Treatment Essentials
For best results, schedule your neuromodulator treatment at least two weeks before any major event. In the days leading up to your appointment, we’ll guide you on simple adjustments to minimize bruising and support optimal placement.
After treatment, resume most normal activities right away. We recommend avoiding workouts for 24 hours and pausing facials or aesthetic treatments for two weeks.
Personalized pre- and post-care guidance is always reviewed during your visit.

Enhancing & Maintaining Results
Tox is one part of a well-designed plan. To enhance results:
- Dermal filler restores volume and balance
- MOXI® or microneedling improves tone and texture
- Hydrafacial elevates glow and skin clarity
- Medical-grade skincare preserves results and supports long-term skin health
While tox softens lines, these complementary treatments refine what movement alone cannot address. Thoughtfully selected skincare helps maintain smoothness, improve skin health, and extend the longevity of in-office treatments.
We’ll always guide you toward a plan that aligns with your timeline, goals, and comfort level — whether that’s a single treatment or a layered approach.
Results & Timeline
Most clients begin noticing changes within the first week, with full results visible at two weeks.
Individual results and longevity may vary based on muscle strength, metabolism, and treatment area.
