Why Injectors are Artists

Written by Sammy Hagenow, Nurse Injector

One of the things I’m most passionate about is the art behind what we do here at Sweet Tox. As injectors, we don’t just treat; we create. We approach each face like a canvas, selecting different “paintbrushes” in the form of neuromodulators (aka tox), and applying them with precise, intentional “brushstrokes” (our injection techniques). Each product and technique is thoughtfully chosen to bring out your natural beauty in the most artful, individualized way because remember, your goals are our goals!

So lets talk paintbrushes.

At Sweet Tox, we offer a curated selection of neuromodulators to ensure your treatment is as personalized as possible. While these products all work by relaxing targeted muscles, each one has its own unique characteristics, and we take all of those into account when creating your individualized plan! Factors like muscle mass, treatment area, product onset, previous response, resistance potential, and how the product spreads all play a role in choosing the best option for you. 

Personally, I love working with Dysport (a type of tox brand) because of its quick onset and the natural results it provides. It’s very often the paintbrush I reach for! But, we also offer other great options, including Botox, Jeuveau, and Daxxify, because we know that not everyone is the same, and goals vary. Based on your history and our expert assessment as injectors, we’ll select the ideal product to help you achieve your most confident, refreshed look. 

After we’ve decided on those paintbrushes for your treatment, we paint!

As I mentioned, every face we treat is a unique canvas, and with each one, we choose different “strokes” (our specific injection techniques) to create the desired outcome. Depending on the treatment area, we can adjust both the spread of the product and the depth of injection (science-y talk, I know) to sculpt results that are as individual as you are. A more concentrated spread with deeper injections targets the muscle more directly, resulting in a stronger, tighter, and longer-lasting effect. On the other hand, a broader spread with more superficial placement allows for softer, more natural movement. Perfect for areas where flexibility and subtlety are key. 

At Sweet Tox, we don’t just inject—we create. Every beautiful face we treat is unique, and every product and technique we choose is an intentional brushstroke in the art of aesthetic medicine. By carefully selecting the right "paintbrush" (whether that’s Dysport, Botox, Jeuveau, or Daxxify) and applying the right "strokes" (through customized dilutions, depths, and injection patterns), we’re able to deliver results that are not only effective, but beautifully natural. We take pride in the thoughtfulness behind each treatment plan, carefully considering everything from your muscle structure to your treatment goals. It’s a blend of science, technique, and artistry, and it’s a process I am deeply passionate about!
