Neurotoxins

Xeomin^® is a highly purified neurotoxin that contains no additives, reducing the risk of antibody resistance. It's an excellent option for those who may have developed tolerance to other neurotoxins. Xeomin is effective for treating frown lines and other dynamic wrinkles.

Key Benefits of Xeomin

• Highly purified formula with no accessory proteins
• Reduced risk of antibody resistance
• May be effective for patients who've stopped responding to other neurotoxins
• Can be stored at room temperature, potentially leading to more consistent results

Xeomin, sometimes called the "naked neurotoxin," was FDA-approved for cosmetic use in 2011. Its unique selling point is its purity – it contains only the active ingredient (botulinum toxin A) without any accessory proteins. This may reduce the likelihood of the body developing antibodies against the treatment, which can sometimes occur with other neurotoxins over time.

The treatment process and timeline for Xeomin are similar to other neurotoxins. The procedure takes about 10-15 minutes, with results beginning to appear within 3-4 days and full effects visible after 7-14 days. Xeomin results typically last 3-4 months.

Xeomin is an excellent choice for adults looking to reduce the appearance of frown lines and other dynamic wrinkles. It's particularly well-suited for those who may have developed resistance to other neurotoxins or are concerned about developing resistance over time.

Jeuveau, affectionately known as "Newtox," is the newest FDA-approved neurotoxin for treating frown lines. This innovative treatment offers results comparable to Botox with a potentially faster onset, making it an exciting addition to our neurotoxin lineup.

Key Benefits of Jeuveau

• A fresh approach to wrinkle reduction
• Potentially faster onset of action
• Specifically approved for frown lines (glabellar lines)
• May offer a more cost-effective option for some patients

Jeuveau is ideal for those seeking a fresh approach to wrinkle reduction. It's particularly effective for treating moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, also known as glabellar lines. The treatment process is quick, typically taking about 10-15 minutes, with results becoming visible within a few days and full effects seen within 7-14 days.

Like other neurotoxins, Jeuveau results typically last 3-4 months. However, with regular treatments, some patients find that the effects may last longer as the muscles become conditioned to being relaxed.

Jeuveau is suitable for adults who want to reduce the appearance of frown lines and are looking for a newer alternative to traditional neurotoxins. It's an excellent option for both first-time neurotoxin users and those who have used other brands in the past.

Dysport^® is known for its quick onset and natural-looking results. It's particularly effective for treating glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows) and can provide a softer, more relaxed appearance. Dysport may spread slightly more than other neurotoxins, making it ideal for more extensive treatment areas.

Key Benefits of Dysport

• Rapid onset of action, often within 2-3 days
• Natural-looking results with a softer appearance
• Excellent for treating larger areas due to its spreading properties
• May last longer in some patients compared to other neurotoxins

Dysport was FDA-approved for cosmetic use in 2009 and has quickly become a popular alternative to Botox. Its unique formulation allows for a slightly wider spread, which can be advantageous when treating larger areas like the forehead.

The treatment process for Dysport is similar to other neurotoxins, taking about 10-15 minutes. Many patients appreciate the quick onset of Dysport, with some noticing improvements as early as 24 hours after treatment. Full results are typically visible within a week.

Dysport results usually last 3-4 months, but some patients report longer-lasting effects, particularly with repeated treatments.

Dysport is ideal for adults looking to soften frown lines and achieve a more relaxed, natural appearance. It's particularly well-suited for those who want quick results and may be preferable for patients treating larger areas like the forehead.

Daxxify is the latest FDA-approved neurotoxin, offering longer-lasting results compared to traditional options. With effects that can last up to 6 months or more, Daxxify is perfect for those seeking a more durable solution to dynamic wrinkles.

Key Benefits of Daxxify

• Longer-lasting results, potentially up to 6 months or more
• Innovative peptide formulation
• May require fewer treatments per year
• Potentially more cost-effective in the long run due to less frequent treatments

Daxxify, approved by the FDA in 2022, represents the newest innovation in neurotoxin treatments. Its unique formulation includes a peptide exchange technology that allows it to bind more strongly to nerve endings, resulting in a longer duration of effect. Daxxify is currently FDA-approved for treating frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines).

The treatment process for Daxxify is similar to that for other neurotoxins, taking about 10-15 minutes. Results begin to appear within a few days, with full effects visible after 7-14 days. The standout feature of Daxxify is its longevity—clinical studies have shown that results can last six months or even longer in some patients.

Daxxify is ideal for adults who want to reduce the appearance of frown lines and are looking for a longer-lasting solution. It's particularly well-suited for those who prefer less frequent treatments or have busy schedules that make regular appointments challenging.

BOTOX^® Cosmetic is the most well-known neurotoxin treatment, with a long history of safe and effective use. It's excellent for smoothing forehead lines, crow's feet and frown lines. BOTOX can also be used for preventative treatments and to address hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).

Key Benefits of BOTOX

• Trusted brand with decades of safe use
• Versatile treatment for multiple areas of the face
• Can be used for both cosmetic and medical purposes
• Extensive research backing its efficacy and safety

BOTOX has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use since 2002, making it the most studied neurotoxin on the market. Its versatility allows us to treat a wide range of concerns beyond just frown lines. 

The BOTOX treatment process is quick and relatively painless, typically taking about 10-15 minutes. Results begin to appear within 3-5 days, with full effects visible after 14 days. Botox results usually last 3-4 months, although this can vary depending on the individual and the treatment area.

Botox is suitable for adults who want to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles or prevent them from forming. It's also an excellent option for those with excessive sweating or chronic migraines. Both men and women can use Botox, and it's effective for all skin types.
