Tox andfillerTox andfillerin St. Clair, MO

Tox at Just Face It is $10 a unit. Your total depends on how many units your face needs, and your nurse tells you that number at the free consultation, before anything is injected.

Tox usually lasts 3 to 4 months. You start to see it in 3 to 5 days, and it peaks around 2 weeks. How long it holds depends on your muscles, your dose, and your metabolism, so your nurse tracks it with you over your first few visits.

Lip filler is temporary. Hyaluronic acid filler lasts months, not years, and how long depends on your body, the product, and how much is placed. Lips move all day, so they tend to be on the shorter side. Your nurse talks through touch-up timing at your free consult.

Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with Hylenex, an enzyme called hyaluronidase. Sculptra and Radiesse are different products and can't be dissolved that way, so they get a longer conversation before you commit.

A lip flip places a small amount of tox along the upper lip so the muscle relaxes and the lip rolls out slightly. It's priced by the unit like any tox, at $10 a unit. It adds no volume, which is filler's job, and it's an off-label use your nurse will talk through first.

Yes. Steph places tox in the jaw muscle for clenching, grinding, and TMJ tension, and some people choose it to soften a wide jawline. It's an off-label use, and she tells you how many units you'd need at your free consult, before anything is injected.

Besides expression lines, Steph uses tox for bunny lines on the nose, heavy sweating (hyperhidrosis), and chronic migraines. Some of these are FDA-approved uses for certain brands and some are off-label, and she tells you which is which at your free consult.

Tox feels like a few quick pinches. For filler, numbing cream goes on first where it helps, and most fillers contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, so most people describe pressure more than pain. Lips are the most sensitive spot, and your nurse paces it with you.

Tox relaxes the muscles that crease your skin when you move, so it works on lines like frown lines and crow's feet. Filler adds volume where it has faded, such as lips, cheeks, and folds. They do different jobs, and many people use both.

Every injection is placed by Stephanee Click, RN, MSN, FNP-BC, the owner and nurse practitioner, or by Grace, RN, or Claire, RN, never by a tech. The consultation is free.
