Microtox for Rosacea
A physician-led, minimally invasive treatment delivering microdroplets of neuromodulator into the superficial dermis — reducing redness, flushing, and rosacea triggers with precision and no downtime.
Precision Neuromodulation at the Skin's Surface
Microtox — also known as intradermal botulinum toxin or “mesobotox” — delivers highly diluted neuromodulator in dozens of tiny microdroplets into the superficial dermis, rather than targeting deep facial muscles.
For rosacea patients, this targets the hyperactive sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and blood vessel smooth muscle that drive persistent redness, flushing, and sensitivity — without affecting natural facial expression.
At Singh Wellness, every Microtox treatment is physician-led and tailored to your rosacea subtype, trigger pattern, and long-term skin health goals.
- Persistent facial redness (erythema)
- Flushing and heat-triggered flares
- Excess sweating that worsens symptoms
- Overactive sebaceous glands & enlarged pores
- Skin sensitivity and inflammatory reactions
- Uneven skin tone and texture
Six Key Benefits of Microtox for Rosacea
Reduces Persistent Redness
By relaxing smooth muscle in superficial blood vessels, Microtox calms the overactive vascular response at the root of rosacea — addressing baseline erythema that skincare alone cannot resolve.
Controls Flushing Episodes
Microtox modulates the neurovascular signals driving sudden waves of redness triggered by heat, emotion, or food — leading to fewer and less intense flushing episodes.
Reduces Persistent Redness
By gently inhibiting sebaceous gland activity within the dermis, Microtox refines skin texture, reduces excess oil, and minimises the enlarged pores common in oily rosacea subtypes.
Reduces Sweat-Triggered Flares
Microtox inhibits the eccrine sweat glands in the facial dermis, reducing the perspiration response that so reliably provokes inflammatory rosacea flares and discomfort.
Improves Skin Quality & Texture
Patients consistently report a refined, more even skin quality following treatment. Reduced oil, tighter pores, and diminished redness combine to produce a visibly smoother complexion.
Natural Expression Preserved
Because injections remain superficial rather than targeting deep facial muscles, Microtox does not affect normal facial movement — a significant advantage over conventional botulinum toxin approaches.
What to Expect During Treatment
A Microtox session is a comfortable, physician-guided procedure typically completed in under an hour with no downtime required. Results build progressively over the weeks that follow.
Consultation & Mapping
Your physician evaluates your rosacea subtype, identifies trigger zones, and maps precise treatment points across the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead.
Topical Numbing
A topical anaesthetic cream is applied for 20–30 minutes to ensure maximum comfort. Most patients report minimal sensation throughout the procedure.
Microinjection
Using an ultra-fine needle, your physician delivers precisely-spaced microdroplets of diluted neuromodulator into the superficial dermis across the treatment area.
Recovery & Results
No downtime required. Initial results appear within 7–10 days, with optimal outcomes at 4 weeks. Treatments are repeated every 3–6 months for lasting benefit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a suitable candidate for Microtox?
Microtox is well-suited for most rosacea subtypes, particularly erythematotelangiectatic (redness and flushing) presentations. It is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for individuals with certain neuromuscular conditions. Your physician will assess candidacy during consultation.
