Neurotoxin FAQ
1. What is the difference between Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Daxxify, and Xeomin? All five are injectable neuromodulators that temporarily relax targeted muscles to soften the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles. However, they differ in formulation, manufacturing, approved indications, and how individual patients respond. Botox: A well-established option for treating several areas of the upper face and other approved cosmetic indications. Dysport: Known for a relatively quick onset in many patients and commonly used for frown lines. Jeuveau: An aesthetic-focused neuromodulator used to temporarily improve the appearance of frown lines between the eyebrows. Daxxify: Uses a proprietary peptide-based formulation and may provide longer-lasting results for some patients. Xeomin: A purified neuromodulator formulated without accessory complexing proteins. There is no single best option for everyone. Your provider will help determine which product is appropriate based on your anatomy, goals, and treatment history.
2. Which neurotoxin lasts the longest? Daxxify is designed to provide longer-lasting results and may last approximately six months in some patients. Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin commonly provide results lasting around three to four months. Individual results vary depending on the product, treatment area, dosage, muscle strength, and personal response. Longer-lasting results are not guaranteed.
3. Does neurotoxin treatment hurt? Most clients describe the injections as a quick pinch or small sting. We use a very fine needle to help make the treatment as comfortable as possible. The procedure is generally well tolerated and does not typically require numbing.
4. How many units will I need? The number of units varies depending on the areas being treated, muscle strength, facial anatomy, desired results, and the specific product selected. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your facial movement and recommend a personalized treatment plan. Keep in mind that units are not interchangeable between different neurotoxin brands.
5. How long does it take to see results? Results are not immediate. Some clients begin noticing changes within two to three days, while others may take up to two weeks to see their full results. The timeline depends on the product used and individual response. We generally recommend allowing approximately 14 days for results to fully develop before evaluating your final outcome.
6. How often should I get neurotoxin treatments? Many clients schedule treatments approximately every three to four months to maintain their results. Some products may last longer, and treatment intervals can vary. Your provider will recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule based on your results and treatment goals. Treatments should never be repeated more frequently than medically appropriate.
7. Will I still be able to make facial expressions? Absolutely! Our goal is to create refreshed, natural-looking results while preserving your ability to express yourself. Your treatment is customized to your facial anatomy and desired outcome. We focus on softening unwanted lines without unnecessarily restricting natural facial movement.
8. What is a lip flip? A lip flip is a treatment that uses a small amount of neurotoxin in the muscle surrounding the upper lip. It temporarily relaxes the muscle, allowing the upper lip to gently roll outward and appear slightly fuller. Unlike dermal filler, a lip flip does not add volume. Results are subtle and temporary, and this treatment is not suitable for everyone.
9. Can I get neurotoxin and dermal filler during the same appointment? Yes! Neurotoxins and dermal fillers can often be performed during the same appointment when clinically appropriate. Neurotoxins help soften expression lines caused by muscle movement, while dermal fillers restore volume, enhance facial features, and improve facial balance. Combining treatments may help create a more comprehensive result. Your provider will determine the appropriate treatment plan and timing during your consultation.
10. What should I avoid after neurotoxin treatment? Following your treatment, we recommend: Avoid rubbing, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated areas for the remainder of the day. Avoid strenuous exercise for approximately 24 hours. Avoid facials, facial massages, or other treatments that place pressure on the injection areas until cleared by your provider. Follow all personalized post-treatment instructions provided by your injector.
11. When should I schedule my follow-up appointment? We recommend allowing approximately two weeks for your neurotoxin results to fully develop. If you have questions or concerns about your results, contact our office so your provider can evaluate your response and determine whether any additional treatment is appropriate.
12. Is there anyone who should not receive neurotoxin injections? Neurotoxin treatments may not be appropriate for everyone. Individuals with certain neuromuscular conditions, allergies to product ingredients, infection at the intended injection site, or other medical concerns may not be candidates. These treatments are generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding because adequate safety data are not available. A medical history review and consultation are required before treatment to determine whether neurotoxin injections are appropriate for you.

Possible temporary side effects include: Redness or swelling at injection sites Bruising or tenderness Mild headache Temporary muscle weakness Temporary eyelid or eye12.
