Aesthetic Benefits of Botox
The effects of neuromodulators like Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, and Daxxify provide a range of aesthetic benefits, including:
Which Botulinum Toxin Is Right For You?
We offer several FDA-approved neuromodulators at our office. Different versions vary slightly in onset and duration of effects, spreading properties, and susceptibility to resistance.
Botox is a popular choice for precise wrinkle treatment. Its formulation contains accessory proteins that provide a more localized effect, allowing for targeted control. Results are typically seen within 3-7 days with peaking at 14-21 days.
Xeomin features a highly purified formulation without accessory proteins, providing results similar to Botox but with less risk of developing resistance. Results typically appear in 5-7 days and last about 3-4 months.
Dysport spreads more easily, making it ideal for treating larger areas like the forehead. Dysport is formulated with a milk protein and is typically recommended for individuals with stronger facial muscles, a faster metabolism, or those who require higher doses for effective results. Compared to Botox, Dysport often requires 2.5 to 3 times the amount to achieve the desired effect, making it a better choice in cases where more robust muscle relaxation is needed. With a quicker onset of 2-3 days and a duration of 3-4 months, it’s a great choice for those seeking faster results.
Daxxify is the newest FDA-approved neuromodulator on the market. It features a peptide stabilizer instead of proteins and gives a great skin glow. It offers a rapid onset of about two days and a longer-lasting effect, typically 3-6 months and in some cases up to 9 months.
