Want to add a glow onto your neurotoxin results? 

60% Decrease in wrinkles

59% Less sun damage

70% Improvement in skin tone and texture

ToxBooster is an anti-aging treatment that combines the wrinkle-reducing effects of Botox with the skin-renewing benefits of VI Peel. This dual-action approach not only smooths out existing wrinkles and lines by relaxing the muscles but also refines the skin’s texture and tone through chemical exfoliation. Excellent for treating areas commonly affected by signs of aging, including the forehead, around the eyes, and between the brows, ToxBooster is designed to provide a non-surgical way to achieve a more youthful and vibrant appearance. Results can be seen shortly after treatment, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion.

For those interested in experiencing the dual benefits of neurotoxin injections and chemical peeling, ToxBooster offers a comprehensive anti-aging solution. The neurotoxin component provides a temporary reduction in muscle activity, leading to a decrease in the appearance of dynamic wrinkles for three to six months. The VI Peel component improves skin health by addressing hyperpigmentation and uneven skin texture while promoting collagen production. Clients typically notice significant improvements within a week, with minimal downtime required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a good candidate for a chemical peel?

Chemical peels use acid solutions to remove damaged outer skin layers, revealing smoother, more even-toned skin underneath.

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Skin concerns: Fine lines, sun damage, uneven pigmentation, acne, acne scars, dull texture, melasma, or age spots
  • No active infections or open wounds in the treatment area
  • Commitment to aftercare: Strict sun protection during healing
  • Skin type: Lighter skin types suit all peel depths; darker skin types are better suited to superficial peels or specific formulations to minimize pigmentation risk

Peels for Acne

Salicylic acid peels are particularly effective for acne-prone skin — the oil-soluble acid penetrates pores to clear debris.

Who Should Wait

Postpone if you have active cold sores, are using isotretinoin (wait 6-12 months), are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have active eczema or psoriasis in the area.

The best way to know is a personal consultation with Dr. Ewart or Dr. Tarakji. Schedule a consultation or call (706) 724-5611.

Can I continue using my retinol and exfoliator?

You must discontinue retinol and exfoliator use for one week before and one week after treatment.

Does it help with acne scarring?

Yes, it can help diminish the appearance of acne scarring because of the shedding of the outer layer of skin.

What is recovery like after a chemical peel?

Recovery depends entirely on peel depth. Superficial peels need almost no downtime, while deeper peels require careful healing.

Superficial Peel

  • Mild redness like a light sunburn for a day
  • Slight dryness or flaking days 1-5
  • No downtime — makeup can be worn the same or next day

Medium Peel (TCA)

  • Days 0-2: redness and swelling; skin feels tight and may darken
  • Days 3-8: heavy peeling — skin sheds in sheets. Do NOT pull or pick; keep well moisturized
  • Days 8-14: peeling completes; new pink skin revealed; mineral makeup okay
  • Plan for 5-10 days of visible peeling

Universal Rules

  • SPF 30+ is essential during and after healing
  • Never pick or peel flaking skin — let it shed naturally
  • Avoid active ingredients (retinol, AHAs, vitamin C) until fully healed
  • Schedule peels during fall/winter when sun exposure is naturally lower
