You already know Botox for smoothing forehead lines and crow’s feet. You probably have a skincare routine you love. Now imagine the two had a baby. That is Microtox, one of our favorite treatments for people who want smoother, glassier skin without changing how their face moves.

What Is Microtox?

Microtox (sometimes called micro Botox or skin Botox) uses tiny, diluted amounts of neurotoxin placed just under the surface of the skin instead of deep into the muscle. Traditional Botox relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines. Microtox works at the skin level, targeting the tiny muscle fibers, oil glands, and sweat glands that affect texture and shine.

The result is not a frozen look. Your expressions stay natural. What changes is the skin itself.

What Microtox Can Do for Your Skin

• Smoother texture: Softens fine, crepey lines and that slightly rough look skin can get over time.
• Smaller-looking pores: Helps pores appear tighter and more refined.
• Less oil and shine: Can reduce oil production, which is a win for anyone who blots by noon.
• A glassy, filtered glow: Skin reflects light more evenly, so makeup sits better (or you skip it altogether).
• Neck and jawline refinement: Can be used to soften fine neck lines and bands for a smoother profile.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Microtox is a great fit if you:

• Have oily or combination skin and enlarged-looking pores
• Want smoother texture but are not ready for traditional Botox
• Already get Botox and want to add a skin-quality boost
• Have an event coming up and want that lit-from-within look

It is not the right choice if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have certain neuromuscular conditions. That is exactly why every treatment at HMA starts with a consultation.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your provider cleanses the skin and may apply a numbing cream for comfort. Using a very fine needle, tiny droplets are placed across the treatment area in a grid pattern. The whole appointment usually takes about 30 minutes.

You may see small bumps right after that settle within an hour or so. Most people head right back to their day. Results begin to show over the next one to two weeks and typically last around three to four months.

Aftercare Tips

• Skip makeup for the rest of the day if possible
• Avoid rubbing or massaging the area for 24 hours
• Hold off on intense workouts, saunas, and facials for 24 hours
• Stay upright for a few hours after treatment
