Glo-Tox in Edina: The Chemical Peel and Botox Combo for Brighter, Smoother Skin
“Glo-Tox”
is the signature combination treatment at Pure Lux Whole Body Medspa in Edina, MN.
It pairs a professional chemical peel with Botox (or another neurotoxin) in one visit.
Glo-Tox refreshes your skin's surface and softens expression lines at the same time, so you leave looking brighter, smoother and more rested.
If your skin looks dull, uneven or tired, or the lines on your forehead and around your eyes seem deeper than they used to, Glo-Tox was made for you. Here's how the peel and Botox combo works, what to expect at your appointment, and why clients at our Edina medspa love it.
What Is Glo-Tox? A Chemical Peel and Botox in One Visit
Glo-Tox brings together two treatments that work on different layers of the skin.
The "Glo": a professional peel. A medical-grade peel removes dull, damaged surface cells to reveal fresher skin underneath. Peels help with uneven tone, sun spots, rough texture, clogged pores and that lackluster look summer often leaves behind. Your provider chooses the peel and its strength to suit your skin.
The "Tox": neurotoxin. Neurotoxin relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines, like forehead lines, frown lines between the brows and crow's feet. At Pure Lux, we offer Botox, Dysport and Daxxify, and your injector will help you choose the right one for your goals.
Why a Chemical Peel and Botox Work Better Together
Think of it as treating both the canvas and the creases.
The peel treats the surface. It improves tone, texture, brightness and clarity.
Tox treats movement. It softens the lines that form when you frown, squint or raise your brows.
On its own, a peel gives you brighter skin, but expression lines can still be there. Tox on its own smooths those lines, but it doesn't touch dullness or sun damage. Together they give you a fuller refresh, so your skin looks smooth, even and rested.
And you get both in one appointment instead of two.
When Is the Best Time for Glo-Tox?
Glo-Tox is available year-round, and many clients make it part of their regular routine. A few times of year are especially good for it:
Fall and winter. Freshly peeled skin is more sensitive to UV, so shorter Minnesota days make aftercare easier. It's also the ideal time to treat sun spots and uneven tone left over from summer.
Before a big event. Botox can take up to two weeks to show its full effect, and skin keeps improving in the weeks after a peel. Book about 2 to 4 weeks before a wedding, photo shoot, vacation or the holidays.
When your Botox is due. If you already get Botox every few months, adding a peel to that visit is an easy way to refresh your skin too.
What to Expect at Your Glo-Tox Appointment
Consultation. Your provider looks at your skin, talks through your goals and plans your peel and tox.
Tox. Quick injections in the areas you want to soften. Most people describe it as a brief pinch.
Peel. Your provider applies the peel, which may tingle or feel warm for a few minutes.
Aftercare. You'll leave with simple instructions for the days that follow.
Downtime: It depends on the peel. Many people see light flaking or mild redness for a few days, and some see little to nothing. Most return to normal routines right away.
When you'll see results:
Brighter, smoother skin as the peel finishes, usually within about a week
Softer lines as tox takes effect over roughly 3 to 14 days
Tox results typically last about 3 to 4 months
Is Glo-Tox Right for Me?
Glo-Tox is a great fit if you:
Notice dullness, uneven tone or sun spots after summer
Have expression lines on your forehead, between your brows or around your eyes
Want a noticeable refresh without a long recovery
Have an event, trip or the holidays coming up
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to do a peel and tox on the same day? Yes, for most people. Your provider will plan the order and timing for your skin and walk you through aftercare.
Does it hurt? Most clients find both treatments very manageable. Tox feels like a quick pinch, and a peel usually brings mild tingling or warmth.
Can I wear makeup afterward? Your provider will tell you when it's safe to go back to makeup, based on your peel.
I've never had tox before. Is this a good place to start? Absolutely. Your injector will keep the results natural and talk through every step with you.
Who shouldn't get Glo-Tox? Tell your provider if you're pregnant or nursing, have active skin irritation, or use prescription skincare such as retinoids. Your consultation will make sure Glo-Tox is right for you.
How long do Glo-Tox results last? Botox results typically last about 3 to 4 months. Peel results last longer when you protect your skin with daily SPF and a good at-home routine.
How often should I get Glo-Tox? Many clients book Glo-Tox each time their Botox is due. Your provider will recommend a peel schedule based on your skin and the peel you choose.
How much does Glo-Tox cost? Pricing depends on the peel you choose and how many units of Botox you need. Call us at 952-460-0160 for a personalized quote.
