Needle Tox

Smooth, soften, and subtly refine. Needle Tox is a non-surgical injectable treatment that reduces fine lines and relaxes dynamic wrinkles, giving you a refreshed, rested appearance without freezing your natural expressions.

Advanced Injectable Aesthetics at Southern Surgical Arts

At Southern Surgical Arts, Needle Tox treatments are delivered by trained medical professionals—not technicians—ensuring safety, precision, and beautiful, natural-looking results. Our team prioritizes artistry and experience with every injection, offering a more refined, customized approach to wrinkle relaxation than you’ll find at most walk-in medspas.

What Is Needle Tox?

“Needle Tox” is a colloquial term for neuromodulator injections—popularly known under brand names like BOTOX®, Dysport®, or Xeomin®. These FDA-approved injectables work by temporarily relaxing facial muscles that cause expression lines, helping to smooth existing wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming.
