Neurotoxin (Botox & Daxxify)

Forehead lines and “11s” can etch stress onto your face. Botox® and Daxxify® injections relax the muscles that cause those lines, so your skin looks naturally calm within days.

Neurotoxin

What Is Neurotoxin?

Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA) and Daxxify® (daxibotulinumtoxinA) are FDA-approved neuromodulators that block nerve signals to specific facial muscles, softening the lines those muscles create. Smoothing begins in 3–5 days. Most conventional neurotoxin treatments last 3–4 months; Daxxify® can last up to 6 months for many patients.

Ideal for: adults who want to soften dynamic wrinkles with minimal downtime. We recommend Botox® or Daxxify® based on the areas treated and how long you want the result to last.

How Neurotoxin Works

  1. Prep & Comfort:

    optional ice or topical numbing; no general anesthesia required.

  2. Targeted Injections:

    your physician places tiny doses into muscles that form frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s-feet, or bunny lines.

  3. Swift Session

    visits take 10–15 minutes; remain upright for four hours afterward.

  4. Follow-Up

    enjoy smoother skin for up to four months, then return for doctor-guided dosing to maintain your look.

FAQs - Neurotoxin

How much does neurotoxin cost?
Pricing depends on the number of units and treatment areas. You’ll receive a personalized quote during your consultation, and flexible payment options are available.
Can I go back to work right after treatment?
Yes. The session is under 20 minutes, and you can resume normal activities immediately—just stay upright for four hours and skip intense workouts until tomorrow.
Will I need special after-care?
Avoid rubbing or massaging the injected areas, skip saunas and hot yoga for 24 hours, and apply SPF daily. No bandages or downtime are required.
How soon will I see results and how long will they last?
Smoother skin typically appears within 3–5 days, peaks at two weeks, and gradually fades over 3–4 months — or up to 6 months for many patients with Daxxify® — before a maintenance visit is needed.
Does the injection hurt?
Most patients describe quick pinches; ice or topical numbing makes it nearly painless.
What is the difference between Botox and Daxxify?
Both relax the same wrinkle-causing muscles. Botox® is the long-established option; Daxxify® is a newer, peptide-powered formula that can last up to 6 months for many patients. We recommend the one that fits your goals.
Will I look overdone or frozen?
No. Our board-certified injectors use conservative, strategic dosing to soften wrinkles while preserving natural expression.
Are there risks or side effects?
Temporary redness or pinpoint bruising can occur. Serious complications are extremely rare when injections follow FDA-approved dosing and depth guidelines.
