GlowTox in Alpharetta, GA
Your Botox appointment can do more than smooth wrinkles.
You already know what Botox can do for your skin. It softens the expression lines that appear when you wink or smile, and it’s earned its place in your routine because the results are visible and reliable.
But what it can’t do is change the quality of your skin. Sun damage, age spots and an uneven texture remain the same between visits, because treating them requires an entirely different approach.
GlowTox at The Swan Center Med Spa pairs your favorite neurotoxin with the VI Peel® from The Vitality Institute, giving you the wrinkle-smoothing precision of Botox along with the skin-brightening benefits of a medical-grade chemical peel. With just 10 extra minutes, you can treat wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, skin elasticity, clarity and more in the same visit, helping you get the most out of the appointment you already have.
Recovery
4-7 days of mild flaking and peeling
Final results after 14 days

What Is GlowTox?
GlowTox is a same-day treatment that combines a neurotoxin with the VI Peel. Rather than booking separate appointments for improving expression lines and overall skin quality, GlowTox lets you address both at the same time for radiant, refreshed results without significantly extending the length of your visit or your downtime.
GlowTox can be personalized based on what your skin needs. Your provider may recommend Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or Daxxify for targeted wrinkle reduction, while your VI Peel is selected according to your complexion and concerns.
What Can GlowTox Address?
GlowTox can improve concerns related to both facial movement and overall skin quality. Depending on your treatment plan, it may help address:
- Dynamic wrinkles and expression lines
- Sun damage and age spots
- Melasma and hyperpigmentation
- Active acne and acne scarring
- Dull, rough or uneven skin texture
- Early collagen loss and reduced skin firmness
Because GlowTox follows the same schedule as your regular neurotoxin appointments (typically every three to four months), there is nothing additional to maintain. The treatment fits into a rhythm you’ve already established.
Why Are Neurotoxins and Peels Better Together?
Neurotoxins like Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or Daxxify relax targeted facial muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles, the kind that appear with each expression you make. The VI Peel addresses what neurotoxins were never designed to treat, resurfacing and exfoliating the skin to accelerate turnover, break up pigmentation and stimulate new collagen production.
When a 2024 clinical study published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology evaluated what happens when the two are administered in the same session, the combined results outperformed what either treatment can achieve alone. Patients in this study reported:
- 60% decrease in wrinkle severity
- 59% reduction in pigmentation
- 70% improvement in overall skin tone
By day seven, patients were already reporting visible improvements. By day 30, results continued to develop, and every participant said their skin looked better. This study evaluated patients across all skin types, finding the combination just as effective for lighter skin (Fitzpatrick I-III) as it was for darker skin (Fitzpatrick IV-VI).

What Happens During a GlowTox Treatment?
Your GlowTox treatment starts with a review of your concerns and treatment goals.
From there, you’ll see our licensed aesthetician first for your VI peel, which is applied to clean skin in three to four thin layers. More sensitive areas will get a lighter sweep, while the cheeks, forehead and jawline can typically tolerate a more intensive approach. The peel starts working immediately and produces a mild numbing effect across the treated area.
Next, you’ll see your nurse injector for the second half of your treatment. Because the peel has already numbed the skin, most patients find the injection portion of a GlowTox session more comfortable than usual. At The Swan Center, our injectors are trained alongside our board-certified plastic surgeons, giving them a deeper understanding of facial anatomy that informs placement and dosing for balanced, natural-looking results.
After your injections are complete, you’ll leave the office with the peel still on your skin. The VI Peel is self-neutralizing but should be washed off at home four to six hours after your appointment. Before you leave, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions so you know exactly how to care for your skin and get the best results from your GlowTox session.
When Will I See Results After My GlowTox Appointment?
With a typical Botox treatment, what you see after two weeks is your final result. With GlowTox, results continue to improve as the VI Peel renews and refreshes your skin. Here is what to expect during recovery and when you can expect to see visible changes.
Days 1 to 3
After 24-48 hours, your skin may feel tight and look slightly flushed. This is the peel working as intended. Light flaking typically starts within two or three days. Use your aftercare kit as directed for a comfortable recovery and let treated areas shed naturally.
Days 4 to 7
Most peeling stops after four to seven days. As the outer layers shed, you’ll see a brighter, healthier complexion come through. This is also when your neurotoxin begins to take effect, softening expression lines as the targeted muscles relax.
Days 10 to 14
Neurotoxin effects peak after 14 days, visibly softening expression lines. By this stage, the VI Peel has also revealed brighter, smoother skin. The refreshed glow you’ll notice is what gives this treatment its name.
Ongoing Results
Deeper collagen remodeling supports ongoing changes in skin tone and texture. The clinical study showed continued progress after the first week, with additional improvements in wrinkle appearance and pigmentation at day 30.

GlowTox FAQs
Do I have to get Botox with GlowTox?
Not necessarily! While Botox is the most common pairing, you can choose from Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or Daxxify. Your injector will recommend the best option based on your treatment history and goals, or you can continue with whichever neurotoxin you already prefer. The VI Peel component pairs equally well with any of the four.
How often should I get GlowTox?
Most patients align their GlowTox treatments with their existing neurotoxin schedule. Some patients include the VI Peel at every visit, while others add it once or twice a year for a seasonal reset. Your provider can recommend the right frequency based on your skin’s needs and how it responds to treatment.
How much does GlowTox cost?
GlowTox is priced at 10% off the combined cost of your neurotoxin and VI Peel. Because neurotoxin pricing varies by product and by the number of units your injector recommends, the total depends on your individual treatment plan. Your provider will give you a personalized estimate at your consultation. For reference, VI Peels at The Swan Center start at $350, while neurotoxins range from $4.30 to $15 per unit, depending on the product selected.
Can I get GlowTox before an event?
With the right timing, absolutely. GlowTox involves little to no downtime, but results aren’t visible immediately, and there is some flaking from the peel to consider. Most patients plan their treatment about a week before they want their skin to look its best, which allows enough time for the peeling/flaking to resolve. The neurotoxin will also start taking effect within this timeframe, with full muscle relaxation at two weeks.
Who should not get GlowTox?
GlowTox may not be appropriate if you have a known sensitivity to any of the VI Peel’s ingredients, including phenol, TCA or salicylic acid. Patients with a history of cold sores should also proceed with caution, as chemical peels can trigger an outbreak. Your provider will review your medical history at your consultation and let you know if GlowTox is a good fit for your skin.
