Frequenly Asked Questions
What is a Neuromodulator?
Botox, Jeuveau, and Xeomin are collectively known as botulinum type A injections and are neuromodulators (sometimes called neurotoxins). They are commonly used to rejuvenate facial features as well as to treat muscle spasms, stiffness, and excessive sweating.
What are Fillers?
Fillers are made of a hyaluronic acid gel, which is a naturally-occurring substance in the skin that contributes to volume and hydration.
What is IV Therapy?
IV Therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream for fast, effective results. It’s used to boost hydration, support immunity, increase energy, and help with recovery from workouts, travel, illness, or hangovers—all with better absorption than oral supplements.
Microneedling is a collagen-stimulating treatment that uses tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin to trigger your body’s natural healing response. This boosts collagen and elastin, improving fine lines, texture, pores, acne scars, and overall skin tone with minimal downtime.
What is Microneedling?
Sculptra is an injectable biostimulator made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that gradually stimulates your body’s own collagen. Instead of filling lines immediately, Sculptra works over time to restore volume, improve skin firmness, and enhance facial structure with natural-looking, long-lasting results.
What is Sculptra?
A chemical peel is a medical-grade treatment that improves skin tone, texture, and clarity by exfoliating damaged surface layers and stimulating collagen production. At Get Tox’d, we use The Perfect Derma Peel, a medium-depth peel formulated to address concerns such as fine lines, uneven pigmentation, acne, and sun damage, while being safe for all skin types.
What is a Chemical
Peel?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a naturally occurring hormone that helps regulate blood sugar, appetite, digestion, and metabolic function. GLP-1 medications mimic this hormone to improve insulin response, slow gastric emptying, reduce hunger, and promote a feeling of fullness, supporting medical weight management. Emerging research also suggests GLP-1 therapies may help reduce systemic inflammation and improve overall metabolic health when prescribed and monitored appropriately.

Red Light Therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to support natural cellular function. These wavelengths penetrate the skin and may help improve circulation, reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen production, and support tissue recovery. The treatment is painless, non-invasive, and commonly used to support skin health, recovery after aesthetic treatments, and overall wellness.
What is Red Light Therapy and how does it work?
How Do Neuromodulator
injections Work?
Using a fine needle, injections are made into the facial muscles that cause frown lines and crow’s feet. The chemicals bind to the acetylcholine receptors, which cause facial muscle contraction and make it more difficult for muscle activity to occur. This reduces fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a more youthful appearance.
How Do Filler
injections Work?
Using a fine needle, Hyaluronic Acid Gel is injected into the face. It’s used to restore facial contours and improve signs of aging by actually filling in unwanted lines or wrinkles. It’s a treatment that focuses on the face, specifically the cheeks, lips, and around the mouth.
When Will I See Results?
For Neuromodulators, you may see results as early as 24 to 48 hours after your injections, when the chemicals are still binding to the acetylcholine receptors. Results typically become visible in 7 to 10 days after injection, with the maximum effect visible at 30 days. Filler results are actually seen immediately.
How Long will it Last?
For most of our patients, the effects of neuromodulator injections can last anywhere from 3-6 months. As they wear off, previously treated lines and wrinkles may reappear. But, with repeated treatment, some lines and wrinkles could appear less severe than before. Essentially, this is a result of the muscles having been trained to relax. Filler procedures can produce effects that last a year or more and Sculptra can last 2-3 years.
What are common procedures performed at Get Tox'd?
Common procedures include corrections for crows feet, glabellar lines (forehead furrows), frontalis (horizontal forehead wrinkles), nasolabial folds (laugh/smile lines), Gummy smiles, and lip augmentation, and dermal filler treatments. We also perform non-surgical PDO thread procedures, Sculptra treatments for lost volume, and microneedling and chemical peels for skin rejuvenation.
