Your Injector
Natural movement, preserved.
Tox at Ember is planned around how your face moves, so you look rested, never frozen.
How Tox Works
Tox is an injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles, softening the look of lines that form with expression.
What we use: We use Jeuveau®, a botulinum toxin type A that temporarily relaxes the muscles behind expression lines. Jeuveau® is FDA-approved for the temporary improvement of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows in adults. Other areas are treated based on your assessment. See Jeuveau® Important Safety Information.
At Ember Medical Group in Castle Rock, tox is approached conservatively to preserve natural movement and facial balance. Results vary.
Your First Visit
Your first visit is an unhurried consultation and assessment. When it's the right fit, we treat the same day. Most patients return every 3–4 months. Results vary.

Areas Commonly Treated
Treatment is individualized, but tox is commonly used to soften:
Upper Face
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines (elevens) between the brows
- Crow’s feet
- Brow balance or asymmetry
Lower Face
- Downturned corners of the mouth
- Chin dimpling
- Jawline slimming through masseter relaxation
Neck and Body
- Neck bands
- TMJ related muscle tension and clenching
- Trapezius muscle relaxation for shoulder contouring
Recommendations are based on facial anatomy, muscle activity, and structural balance.
How it Works
1. Consultation and Assessment We evaluate facial movement, symmetry, and muscle strength. Treatment history and desired level of correction are reviewed to determine appropriate dosing and placement.
2. Precision Based Injection Injection placement and unit selection are tailored to your anatomy and muscle pattern. The goal is controlled softening, not a frozen appearance.
3. Follow Up and Maintenance Results develop gradually and reach full effect around 14 days. Beginning at approximately 6 to 8 weeks, it is normal to notice a gradual return of some muscle activity as the treatment effect naturally diminishes. Most patients maintain consistent softening with treatments repeated every 3 to 4 months, depending on anatomy and muscle strength.
Who This is For
Neuromodulator treatment may be appropriate if you:
- Notice lines that form with facial expression
- Experience lower face tension or jawline bulk from muscle activity
- Want subtle facial softening without altering your features
- Prefer non surgical options guided by anatomical precision
Common Questions
Jeuveau® (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) is the tox we use at Ember. It’s a botulinum toxin type A made by Evolus, and the FDA approved it on February 1, 2019 for the temporary improvement of moderate-to-severe frown lines (glabellar lines) between the brows in adults. Other areas are treated based on your assessment. See Jeuveau® Important Safety Information.
Lines such as frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet form where muscles contract again and again. Tox temporarily reduces the signal that tells a targeted muscle to contract. With less contraction, the skin above it creases less, and those lines look softer. The effect is temporary, and muscle activity gradually returns.
Tox may be a good fit if you notice lines that form when you frown, raise your brows or smile, want to look rested without changing your features, and prefer a conservative, assessment-first approach. Your provider reviews your health history and medications at your visit and will tell you if tox isn’t the right choice for you right now.
That's the goal. Every plan starts with an assessment, and dosing and placement are chosen to soften lines while preserving natural movement, so you look rested, never frozen. We'll tell you when less is more. Results vary.
Jeuveau® is one of several FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A products. Their units are not interchangeable unit for unit, so your plan is dosed specifically for Jeuveau®. If you’ve had tox elsewhere, share your treatment history so your provider can plan dosing and placement with it in mind. Results vary.
Your first visit is an unhurried consultation and assessment, with time for treatment when it's the right fit. Your provider looks at how your face moves, your goals and your treatment history, and talks you through your plan before anything begins. Please arrive with clean skin and no makeup. If a small adjustment is needed, your follow-up is scheduled between days 14 and 21.
Results begin to appear within several days and reach full effect around 14 days. From about 6 to 8 weeks, it's normal to notice some movement gradually returning. Most patients keep a consistent, softened look with treatment every 3 to 4 months. Results vary.
Mild swelling, redness or small bumps at the injection sites are normal and usually settle within a few hours, and small bruises can take several days to fade. Stay upright for 4 hours, and skip strenuous exercise and heat for 24 hours. See Before & Aftercare for the full instructions.
Your tox is performed by an Ember injector trained to the standard Jenny teaches. Ember Medical Group was founded by Jenny Garland, FNP-C, the nurse practitioner who trains other injectors, and is nurse practitioner-led.
Cost depends on the areas treated and the amount of tox your plan calls for, which your provider decides at your assessment. Your provider will walk you through your plan and its cost before treatment begins. A card is saved when you book to hold your visit, and Cherry financing is available if you'd like to pay over time.
