Why You Might Hear People Talking About ‘Microtox’ Soon | |
|
by Sophie Birt, 8/3/22 in New Beauty
When I first stumbled across the term “Skin Botox,” I’d assumed it was a misnomer; a term based on misconceptions of how neurotoxins actually work. Further research, however, exposed my own naïveté: Also known as a “Botox Facial,” “Microbotox,” or “Mesobotox,” “Skin Botox” is, in fact, its own thing—a treatment entirely separate from the FDA-approved indications with which I was so familiar. (For clarity, I’ll stick with “microtox” for the remainder of this piece).
What Is Microtox?
According to Baton Rouge, LA dermatologist Ann Zedlitz, MD, microtox employs the FDA-approved neurotoxins we all know and love, albeit in a completely different format. Treatment goals differ, too: Whereas traditional ‘tox typically aims to soften glabellar lines, forehead furrows, and crow’s feet (by way of intramuscular injection deep beneath the skin), microtox aims to improve the skin itself.
Microtox entails injecting smaller aliquots of Botox at a higher dilution, “superficially into the skin,” Dr. Zedlitz shares. “The droplets are sprinkled very lightly all over the patient’s face,” she explains, “[which] allows the Botox to be ‘painted’ in a more even manner….[without] weaken[ing] the muscles of expression.”
What Are the Benefits of Microtox?
For one, microtox stifles excess sebum and sweat production—which, for oily skin types and people prone to pore congestion, could, ostensibly, mean fewer breakouts, notes Dr. Haberman. More research is needed as to how, exactly, microtox affects pore laxity and sebum production; many experts, however, believe it’s tied to blocking acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for sweat and oil production.
Secondly, microtox diminishes pore prominence, too, perhaps by affecting the teeny-tiny smooth muscles beneath the skin. “Think of goosebumps,” Dr. Haberman analogizes.
From Dr. Elliott
I was surprised that New Beauty published this article because Microtox treatments have been around for years. We perform a Microtox treatment exactly like shown in The Doctors Show video clip below. It's one of our Microinfusion Skin Stamping treatments in which we combine a cocktail of ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins, retinoic acid & other substances, customized for the goals of our client.

Back to School Treatments for Teens
Your teen probably asks you for a lot of things that seem silly or extravagant, but if they ask you for a professional skincare treatment, you may want to take them seriously. If you’re a parent reading this, you may be thinking – “I don’t take the time (or money) to get a facial for myself!” We hear you. But, it’s important to remember that treating your teen to a facial with a trained aesthetician is less about luxury & more about the healthcare benefits. And, no one said you shouldn’t join them!
Acne is often the concern that makes a teen seek professional skincare help. Treatments that can help decrease acne breakouts include IPL Photofacials, acne facials, & HydraFacials, with home product programs recommended to help maintain the improvement.
The number one benefit of visiting an aesthetician for facials is the educational factor. Today, many teens turn to the internet where YouTube videos may be teaching them ineffective or potentially damaging skin care methods. Our aestheticians don’t just want to provide a facial and move on. They are trained to help people learn to care for their skin.

Teens are worried about wrinkles. Here's how Gen Z is helping to fuel a beauty boom
Written by:Leah Dolan, CNN
Before coronavirus shuttered the world, a typical month for Connecticut native Zac Mathias was packed with appointments for microneedling, Hydrafacials, rejuvenating laser treatments & the occasional red-light therapy session. Mathias is 18.
Mathias isn't an outlier. Young people are increasingly incorporating anti-aging products & treatments into their beauty regimes. In 2012, fewer than 20% of US women between 18 and 24 years old considered anti-aging skin care to be important, according to a survey conducted by the market research company NPD Group. By 2018, another US-focused study by beauty consumer analysts The Benchmarking Company found that more than 50% of 18- to 24-year-old women said they wanted to add wrinkle-defying products into their routine.
Some younger beauty consumers say they're acting on an informed, science-first approach to skin care, while others profess a fear of premature aging (they're called "skinvesters").
In the past year, Reddit's largest skincare community -- boasting 1.3 million members -- has been awash with pleas from users claiming to be teenagers, including "Wrinkles at 19?!" and "Premature aging at 16. What are my options?"
