SkinTox® in Glastonbury, CT
Micro-Botox for refined pores, balanced oil, and smoother skin, without freezing movement.
What Is SkinTox?
SkinTox is a technique that delivers micro-aliquots of diluted Botox into the top layers of the skin rather than the muscles beneath it. Unlike traditional Botox, which targets expression lines by relaxing muscle movement, SkinTox works at the skin level to improve surface concerns such as enlarged pores, excess oil, uneven texture, and shine.
Because the treatment stays superficial, patients benefit from improved skin quality without the “frozen” look sometimes associated with neuromodulators.
The Power of Micro-Aliquots
During a SkinTox treatment, Botox is carefully diluted and placed in extremely small amounts using fine needles. These micro-aliquots interact with the skin’s oil glands and superficial muscle fibers, helping regulate oil production and refine texture without affecting deeper facial movement.
This precise approach allows for visible skin improvement while maintaining natural expression and facial dynamics.
Benefits of SkinTox
SkinTox is ideal for patients who want smoother, clearer, more refined skin without changing how their face moves.
Minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores
Helps balance oil production and reduce shine
Improves overall skin texture and smoothness
Can reduce acne-related congestion in oily skin types
Decreases excessive facial sweating
Creates a more even, refined complexion
Who Is SkinTox Best For?
SkinTox is an excellent option for patients who are concerned with skin texture rather than wrinkles alone. It is especially beneficial for those with oily or combination skin, visible pores, makeup breakdown, or persistent facial shine.
It can be used on its own or layered with regenerative treatments such as microneedling, Morpheus8, or collagen-stimulating injectables for comprehensive skin improvement.
What to Expect From a SkinTox Treatment
Consultation
Your provider will assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and determine if SkinTox is the right fit for your goals.
Treatment
Diluted Botox is placed into the superficial layers of the skin using a series of small injections. The procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes.
Downtime & Recovery
Downtime is minimal. Mild redness or tiny bumps at injection sites may occur and usually resolve within a few hours.
Results
Results develop gradually over several days as oil production decreases and skin texture becomes smoother and more refined. Effects typically last several months.
SkinTox Within a Regenerative Aesthetic Plan
At Lenore Skincare & Wellness, SkinTox is often used as a skin-refining step within a broader regenerative treatment plan. While treatments like Sculptra, Radiesse, and Morpheus8 focus on collagen, structure, and firmness, SkinTox refines the surface of the skin for clarity, smoothness, and balance.
This layered approach allows us to address skin health at every level for natural, long-term results.
Is SkinTox Right for You?
If you are looking to refine pores, reduce oil, and improve skin texture without altering facial movement, SkinTox may be an excellent option. During your consultation, we will help determine whether SkinTox should be used alone or combined with other regenerative or skin-conditioning treatments.
