Discover the magic of Botox Cosmetic!
Botox is a popular, non-surgical cosmetic treatment made from a neurotoxin protein called Botulinum Toxin Type A. It’s used to temporarily relax facial muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.
The treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and requires little to no downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles. Results typically start to appear within a few days, with full effects visible within two weeks, offering a refreshed and youthful look.
Botox can be tailored to suit individual needs, whether you’re looking to target specific areas or achieve an overall smoother appearance. With regular treatments every 3-4 months, you can maintain long-lasting, natural-looking results that enhance your natural beauty.
Botox vs. Dysport vs. Daxxify vs. Xeomin: What’s the Difference?
Botox
Overview: The most recognized neurotoxin with a proven safety and efficacy track record.
Best For: Treating crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines (glabellar lines).
Duration: 3-4 months.
Onset of Results: 3-5 days.
Key Feature: Extensive research backing consistent and reliable results.
Dysport

Best For: Larger treatment areas like wide foreheads or multiple fine lines.
Duration: 3-4 months.
Onset of Results: Faster, within 2-3 days.
Key Feature: Ideal for diffuse areas due to its ability to spread effectively.
Daxxify
Overview: The newest neurotoxin on the market, offering significantly longer-lasting results.
Best For: Patients looking for extended wrinkle-reducing effects and fewer follow-up treatments.
Duration: Up to 6 months or more.
Onset of Results: 3-5 days, comparable to Botox.
Key Feature: Advanced formulation with a peptide-based stabilizer for extended longevity.
Xeomin
Overview: A “naked” neurotoxin, free from unnecessary proteins, potentially reducing resistance over time.
Best For: Patients who have experienced reduced effectiveness with other neurotoxins or prefer a purer formula.
Duration: 3-4 months.
Onset of Results: 3-4 days.
Key Feature: Simple formulation with no additives, reducing the risk of antibody resistance.
Key Differences
| Aspect | Dysport | Daxxify | Xeomin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Longevity | 3 months | 6 months | 3 months |
| Spread | Broad coverage | Precise | Precise |
| Onset Speed | 2-3 days | 2-3 days | 3-5 days |
| Frequency | More frequent | Fewer treatments | More frequent |
| Unique Feature | Ideal for larger areas | Long-lasting results | Additive-free formula |
Choosing the Right One
Dysport: Great for faster results in larger or more diffuse areas.
Daxxify: Peptide-based stabilizer, which not only extends longevity but also minimizes the risk of immune resistance, making it ideal for long-term use.
Xeomin: Perfect for patients who prefer a pure formula or have developed resistance to other neurotoxins.

POST BOTOX® TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS
(Xeomin/Dysport/Jeuveau)
• Try to use the injected muscles for the first 1-2 hours after treatment: practice frowning, raising your eyebrows and squinting. This helps work Botox® into your muscles. Although this is thought to help, this will not impact your treatment negatively if you forget.
• The results of your treatment can take up to 14 days to take full effect. Usually patients notice a change in 4-5 days. It takes time for the muscles to lose strength and the lines to fade following Botox® treatment. Please wait until 14 days have passed before assessing if you are pleased with the results.
• Do not touch or rub injected site for 2-4 hours following treatment. Avoid exercise and sweating for the remainder of the day and no lying down or leaning forward for 2-4 hours after treatment.
• There can be a slight chance of bruising at the treated site, this is temporary. Be assured that any tiny bumps or marks will go away within a few hours of treatment.
• Avoid any type of facial, microderm abrasion, or massage for 14 days after treatment.
• Avoid Ibuprofen, Advil or Motrin, Tylenol is acceptable to take if experiencing discomfort (if not contraindicated)
• Botox® Cosmetic is a temporary procedure and at first, you may find that your treatment results will last approximately 3-4 months. If you maintain your treatment appointments with the frequency recommended by your clinician, the duration of each treatment results may last longer than 4 months.
• Your satisfaction is important to us! We would like you to return to the office in 2 weeks for a follow-up assessment appointment, especially after your first treatment. This will ensure we are able to see how your facial muscles react to your treatment. If you require additional Botox® to fine-tune/adjust your treatment results there will be additional charges at the regular rate.
• Remember your sunscreen every day.
