If you’re new to neurotoxin injectables, we understand that entering this space at this stage of the game can be a bit flustering at first. Between Daxxify, Xeomin, Dysport and Jeuveau, you’ve got so many options available, and you might not be sure how they’re different.
At Radiant Skin, we are as committed to keeping our patients up to date on industry-leading aesthetic treatments as we are to providing them. Let’s break down what sets these treatments apart and how they’re similar, so you can walk into your consultation with complete confidence.
A Crash Course on Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins temporarily interfere with the communication between nerves and their corresponding muscles. This relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, which refers to those caused by repeated facial expressions.
Over time, the overlying skin smooths out, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Though each of the below neurotoxin injectable treatments is uniquely formulated, they all work through this same mechanism.
Daxxify for Long-Lasting Results
Daxxify has quickly become a favorite among providers and patients alike for its ability to outlast other neurotoxin injectables. Where most alternatives will require a touch-up treatment every three or four months, Daxxify produces results that stand on their own for six months or even longer when well-maintained.
What’s the secret, you might be wondering? It all comes down to Daxxify’s unique peptide-based formulation. Instead of using human or animal byproducts as stabilizers, Daxxify uses sophisticated peptide exchange technology that helps the active ingredient (botulinum toxin type A) stay effective for as long as possible. This innovative approach slows the rate at which the body breaks down the formulation.
The best part? Even though Daxxify lasts longer, you don’t have to wait long to see serious results. Expect to see a significant difference in just two to three days, which will improve for several more weeks until you’ve reached the peak.
Xeomin: the Simple Approach
Sometimes referred to as a “naked” neurotoxin, Xeomin doesn’t include any accessory proteins or additives whatsoever. This injectable simply contains a highly refined form of botulinum toxin type A. One major advantage of this approach is that it decreases the chance that the body will develop antibodies against an ingredient over time.
For this reason, patients who have used other neurotoxins for years often turn to Xeomin as a way to prevent developing resistance. An added convenience for providers is that Xeomin doesn’t need to be refrigerated, which speaks to its naturally high stability.
You can expect your results from Xeomin to begin taking hold within three to four days, with full results achieved after roughly two weeks. The smoothing effects of Xeomin typically last three to four months. As a more refined formula, Xeomin is particularly effective at treating smaller and more delicate areas like crow’s feet.
Dysport Works Quickly
If you’re looking for quick results, Dysport is very hard to beat. This neurotoxin is known for its rapid onset, with many patients noticing improvements within two to three days after treatment. Full results typically unfold within a week of your treatment, making Dysport an excellent choice when you have an upcoming event and want to look your best.
Dysport’s molecular structure allows it to spread through the treatment area more effectively than other neurotoxins once injected. For this reason, more diffuse treatment areas like the forehead are a popular target for Dysport treatment. Your practitioner can adjust the injection technique and dosage to control the spread and achieve precise results.
The effects of Dysport typically last three to four months, similar to many other neurotoxins. Because of its spreading properties and quick action, Dysport works beautifully for patients who prefer a softer, more natural-looking result rather than a completely frozen appearance.
Jeuveau for Fine-Tuned Correction
Developed specifically for aesthetic use rather than being adapted from medical applications, Jeuveau was designed from the ground up with cosmetic goals in mind. Its modern manufacturing process, called Hi-Pure technology, results in a highly purified product that delivers consistent, reliable results.
Results from Jeuveau typically appear within two to three days, with full effects visible after about one to two weeks. The wrinkle-smoothing benefits last approximately three to four months. Clinical studies have demonstrated that Jeuveau provides results comparable to other leading neurotoxins, making it a trusted option for both new and experienced patients.
Making an Informed Choice
Choosing the perfect neurotoxin for you requires weighing and balancing several factors, including how much you value longevity, formulation purity, precision and speed.
If longevity is your top priority, we highly recommend Daxxify for its impressive staying power. If you’re concerned about developing a resistance to neurotoxins or if you simply prefer a purified formula, Xeomin offers a simple solution. When timing and speed are critical, as before a special occasion, then Dysport can be a lifesaver. Finally, Jeuveau is a popular choice for those who want a purely cosmetic injectable that can deliver highly precise results.
How Radiant Skin Tailors Every Neurotoxin Treatment
During your consultation at Radiant Skin, your provider will assess your facial structure, listen to your goals and concerns and recommend the most appropriate option for you. They’ll consider factors like how quickly you want to see results, how long you want them to last, which areas you’re treating and whether you’ve had neurotoxin treatments before.
Your injector can also customize your treatment by choosing different neurotoxins for different areas of your face. This personalized approach ensures you receive the most effective treatment for your specific needs.
Understanding the differences among Daxxify, Xeomin, Dysport and Jeuveau empowers you to have more meaningful conversations with your provider and make decisions that align with your lifestyle and goals. Each option offers distinct advantages, and there’s no universally “best” choice, but there’s a best choice for you.
