Frotox and Botox sound similar. They do completely different things β and picking the wrong one means solving the wrong problem.
Here's the side-by-side, so you can match the treatment to what you actually want.
FROTOX (Controlled Cold Therapy)
What it does: Freezes and reduces fat cells, tightens and rejuvenates skin.
Best for: Body sculpting, skin firming, contouring.
How it works: Targeted cold vapour triggers fat cell breakdown and collagen response.
Timeframe: Visible changes in minutes. Results keep building over 4β12 weeks as your body flushes treated fat cells.
Sessions: 3β6 typically.
Downtime: None β and the treatment continues working for weeks after you walk out.
BOTOX (Injectable Neurotoxin)
What it does: Temporarily relaxes facial muscles to soften expression lines.
Best for: Dynamic wrinkles β forehead lines, frown lines, crow's feet.
How it works: Blocks the nerve signal that contracts the muscle.
Timeframe: Results appear within days, wear off in 3β4 months.
Sessions: Ongoing top-ups required.
Downtime: Minimal, but it's a needle-based facial treatment.
Neither is better. They solve different problems.
