Intro to neuro-toxins

neurotoxin is a purified protein used in aesthetic and medical treatments that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles by blocking nerve signals. This helps reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles like frown lines and crow’s feet) in the upper face OR chin, jawline, DAO muscle, and platysma bands in the lower face.
 

Daxxify is a newer injectable neurotoxin treatment made from daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm (a form of botulinum toxin type A) that temporarily relaxes muscles to smooth moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)

Daxxify uses a unique peptide-based stabilizer instead of human or animal proteins, which helps it last longer (often about 6 months and sometimes up to 9 months) than many other neuromodulators.

It has rapid onset of 3-5 days

Xeomin is an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin (incobotulinumtoxinA) used to temporarily relax targeted muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines between the eyebrows.

What makes Xeomin different:

  • It’s known as a “naked” neurotoxin because it contains only the active ingredient, with no added proteins.

  • This may reduce the chance of developing resistance over time for some patients.

  • Results typically appear within 3–7 days

  • Effects last about 3–4 months

Botox is an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin (onabotulinumtoxinA) used in aesthetic and medical treatments to temporarily relax targeted muscles by blocking nerve signals.

  • Helps prevent deeper lines from forming

What to expect:

  • Results start in 3–7 days

  • Effects last about 3–4 months

  • Treatments are quick with minimal downtime
