Botox works by “temporarily” relaxing muscles. It blocks nerve signals to the muscles where it’s injected, preventing them from contracting. This relaxation smooths out wrinkles and fine lines, giving the skin a smoother appearance. If your provider has not explained the differences between static lines, dynamic lines, and sleep lines. Please ask them to explain so you can both determine the best treatment plan for you.
“Deep lines were not created overnight. As much as we want them to, those lines will not disappear overnight with neurotoxin alone. “
The earlier you start your skincare journey with proper cleaning, maintenance, and use of sunscreen. The better your skin looks and will be during your lifetime. (Medication companies have on-label guidelines for the use of Botox, Jeuveau, Xeomin, etc. for fine lines and wrinkles starting for individuals at 22 years of age or older).
All Brands contain the main active ingredient of Botulism Toxin Type A.
Botox: The “OG” or original. Botox is approved by the FDA. The toxin has been useful in many medical applications including in children’s hospitals (BOTOX is indicated for the treatment of muscle spasticity in children 2 years of age and older). Botox has been used regularly and trusted by practitioners for over two decades.
Carrier protein: Human serum albumin is a common excipient in injectable pharmaceuticals. It is used in the manufacture of Botox as a stabilizer to protect the purified neurotoxin complex during manufacture, shipping, storage, and administration.
Jeuveau: “New Tox” formulated with “Hi-Pure” technology a different type of purification and drying process. Jeuveau is one of the most precise toxins.
Carrier protein: Human serum albumin, with the proteins that are said to be smaller and more uniform which may result in a slightly quicker onset time than with Botox.
Xeomin: “Naked Tox” is known for not containing any added proteins. The thought is that possible resistance to toxins may be caused by added proteins the products contain. Without the added proteins, individuals may be less likely to develop resistance to this product.
Carrier protein: Does not have a carrier protein.
Dysport: Is often compared to Botox. Patients report that Dysport spreads more easily in the treated area, which can be beneficial for larger treatment areas.
Carrier protein: Human serum albumin and lactose are used as stabilizers to help preserve the toxin.
Daxxify: What sets Daxxify apart is its long-lasting effects, with some studies showing results that can last up to 6 months or longer.
Carrier protein: No. Unlike Botox, and Dysport, Daxxify uses a proprietary peptide as a stabilizer instead of human serum albumin or other animal based protiens. This unique formulation is believed to help with the longevity of the treatment.
