Med Spa Services

Arica, ARNP is our on-site Aesthetic Injector. As an experienced healthcare provider, she combines precision, and a deep understanding of facial anatomy to deliver subtle, yet impactful results. Listed below are her services and helpful information on her treatments. 

Tox Treatment Overview

Tox treatments, aka Botox treatments, prevent and reduce wrinkles. Tox works by relaxing your facial muscles to prevent new wrinkles and smooth existing ones.

As a Pinch Provider, I use an FDA approved Tox product called XEOMIN (pronounced "Zeo-min"), because it filters out unnecessary ingredients contained in other neurotoxins, like Botox, getting you natural results.

What determines how much Tox I need

The anatomy of your facial muscles plays a crucial role in determining the amount of Tox you need. I will assess your facial composition and the strength of your various facial muscles to determine the right dosage for you. For example, stronger muscles like those in the forehead might require more units compared to smaller muscles found around the corners of the eyes

(crow's feet). Each treatment is personalized to you!

What to do prior to your treatment

For 24 hours prior to treatment avoid the following:

 Alcohol

 Medications that can increase bruising such pain relievers (except Tylenol), fish oil, vitamin etc.

 Excessive caffeine

 Excessive sun exposure- don’t have a sunburn.

 Chemical peels and other facial treatments. Some treatments can be done on the same day.

Please arrive at your appointment with a clean, make up free face.

What to do after your treatment

For 24 hours after your treatment avoid:

 Excessing sweating or exercise

 Alcohol

 Pain relievers (except Tylenol)

 Makeup

 Saunas and steam rooms

Contradictions for Tox treatments

 Actively taking blood thinners.

 Prior allergic reactions to any neuromodulator.

 Diagnosis with a disease that affects muscles and nerves, such as ALS.

What's the difference between Botox & Xeomin

BOTOX is the brand name you have probably heard of, while Xeomin is a newer and cleaner

neuromodulator. Xeomin's formula is more pure, as the unnecessary proteins have been

removed from it. This means you are less likely to build up resistance over time.

When will I see results

Some clients start to notice the effects of within a few days and for other results might take up to two weeks. The full results are typically visible by the end of the second week after the injections. ⁠Peak effectiveness is usually reached around 2 to 4 weeks after the treatment.

Always reach out if you have any questions or concerns regarding results.

Is there any downtime after treatments

There is no significant downtime after Tox treatments.

 You may continue your normal skin care routine.

 It is recommended to always wear SPF 30+ for 72 hours after treatment.

 Keep your skin clean and do not wear makeup for 24 hours to allow the skin to seal and avoid contamination.

 Avoid laying down for approximately 4 hours post treatment to allow injections to settle and prevent migration.

What to expect overall

1) Reduce fine lines and wrinkles with long term benefit of preventing of new wrinkles.

2) Less facial movement at injections sites.

3) Results typically show within 1-2 weeks.

4) Treatments last for approximately 3-4 months. This varies some by client and dosage.

5) For best results consider adding anti-aging facial treatments, such as peels, facials or microneedling to your skin care routine.
