MESOTOX/SKIN BOTOX
Mesotox, sometimes called skin botox or micro-botox, is an advanced cosmetic technique that uses small, diluted amounts of botulinum toxin injected superficially into the skin. Unlike traditional Botox, which targets the muscles, Mesotox is designed to improve overall skin texture and appearance by acting within the upper skin layers.
Mesotox is considered an advanced off-label use of botulinum toxin for skin quality enhancement. While widely used internationally, it is not an officially approved Health Canada indication. Individual results vary, and a consultation is required to determine suitability.
