Botox vs Dysport – Wrinkle Relaxers in the Crows Feet Study
What Are Botox and Dysport?
Wrinkle Relaxers are treatments that use neurotoxins to address fine lines and wrinkles quickly and effectively. They are some of the most popular services available for people looking to achieve smoother, more youthful skin. Botox stands for botulinum toxin, which is the ingredient that makes the injections work. It is a neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes the muscle contractions that cause your skin to wrinkle.
How Do They Work?
To understand this, we need to talk about why you get wrinkles in the first place. The reason is that whenever you make a facial expression, such as a smile or a frown, your skin folds in places to accommodate it. Over time, the folds leave creases on your face.
Wrinkle Relaxers put a hold on this process. They use naturally occurring neurotoxins (which are actually proteins) to temporarily stop the signals that tell the targeted muscles to contract. The result is that those parts of your face stay relaxed, allowing your wrinkles to smooth themselves away. Best of all, the injections are done in a very targeted way, ensuring that your face stays dynamic and expressive.
What Kinds Are Available?
Most people have heard about Botox, and we totally recommend it, but did you know that there are other options as well? Here are some of the most popular neurotoxins we offer:
- Botox
- Dysport
- Jeuveau
- Xeomin
- Daxxify
So, how do you know which of the Wrinkle Relaxers is right for you? Read on, and we’ll get into all the important details.
Botox
What Is Botox?
In short, it is one of the most popular treatments the cosmetics industry has to offer, and for good reason. For decades, this injectable has been the go-to for improving all different kinds of facial lines, as well as treating other concerns. It is effective on:
- Brow lines
- Frown lines
- Crows feet
- Lines occurring in other areas
What Happens During the Treatment?
The first step to getting this or any of our other Wrinkle Relaxers is to have a complimentary consultation. During this initial meeting with you, we will take the time to learn about your beauty goals and your current concerns. From there, we will customize the perfect amount of product for you and locate your injection sites.
The actual injections themselves only take about 10 minutes. That’s it! We first use a topical numbing agent to make sure you are comfortable. Then, we deliver the injections to a few targeted sites. After you’re done, you can walk out, drive yourself home, and continue with your daily routine. There is no downtime needed!

Dysport
What Is It?
Dysport is an injectable that focuses on smoothing out frown lines. Also called glabellar lines, these creases appear just above your nose, between your eyes. Many people choose to treat them because they can make your face appear unhappy or angry even when you’re not.
What Happens During the Treatment?
The process of getting this treatment is very similar to the process of getting Botox. After an initial consultation, you will receive a numbing agent, followed by your injections. There is no downtime, and you will most likely spend less than half an hour from start to finish.
What Are the Benefits?
Many people love this treatment because it is a sure, simple fix for unwanted lines. It is also extremely safe. One perk is that you will see the results very soon after your injections–usually within 2-3 days.
Daxxify
What is DAXXIFY and how is it different?
DAXXIFY is FDA approved to help smooth moderate to severe lines between the brows. It is the only long-lasting frown line treatment powered by a peptide with results that last on average 6 months and up to 9 months for some.*
Conventional injectables last 3–4 months and require up to 4 treatments a year to maintain results.
Nearly 90% of patients say they wish results lasted longer. With DAXXIFY you can keep your frown lines smoother for a full year with as few as 2 treatments.*
*At least 50% of patients in clinical studies had no or minor frown lines 6 months after treatment. Between 3% and 5% of patients in clinical studies had no or minor frown lines 9 months after treatment. In other safety studies, between 5% and 17% of patients still had noticeable improvement 9 months later.
Why are peptides important?
All frown line treatments require a special ingredient to stabilize botulinum toxin A, the protein responsible for helping smooth moderate to severe frown lines. For instance, BOTOX® Cosmetic uses human serum albumin (HSA), a blood product, as its stabilizer. Dysport®, another frown line treatment, uses HSA as a stabilizer and cow’s milk protein as a protectant.
DAXXIFY is unique because it is the only formulation that uses a novel peptide as a stabilizer and does not contain human or animal byproducts.
Is DAXXIFY well studied?
DAXXIFY was studied in the largest-ever clinical study conducted for a frown line treatment and included more than 2,400 people across different ages and skin types.
- There were no serious treatment-related side effects in clinical trials for DAXXIFY
- The active ingredient in DAXXIFY is botulinum toxin type A, an ingredient that has been used in frown line treatments for more than 20 years
APPROVED USE
DAXXIFY is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used in adults to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows.
Jeuveau and Xeomin
What Is Jeuveau, and What Is Xeomin?
These treatments are sometimes referred to as “Newtox” because they are newer injectables that use botulinum toxin. They work in the same way as Botox and Dysport, and they have the same major benefits including high safety ratings, fast treatment times, and the fact that they don’t require a recovery period. Like Dysport, they are primarily used on glabellar lines.
What Are the Benefits?
In addition to the benefits mentioned above, Jeuveau and Xeomin are made with a “pure” toxin that is less likely to make you develop an immunity to the treatment. That means that you can be sure you will enjoy the same great results every time you use it. Most people don’t have to worry about developing an immunity to any of the injectables we offer, but for the few that do, this is a definite advantage.
Frequently Asked Questions About Neurotoxins
How Long Do the Results Last?
Most people enjoy the results of these treatments for 3-4 months. In some cases, they can last as long as 6!
Can These Treatments Be Repeated?
Yes! The injections are very safe, meaning that as soon as you start to see lines reappearing, you can come in for another treatment.
Are They Worth It?
From an investment pointof view, these treatments deliver results that make them highly cost-effective. You will see a real improvement in your fine lines and wrinkles, and you will only need to come in a few times per year to keep up the results. Compared to over-the-counter creams, which often don’t work at all, that is pretty impressive.
Will These Treatments Prevent Wrinkles?
Yes-many people use Wrinkle Relaxers as a preventative measure. By temporarily preventing the muscles in your face from causing your skin to fold in certain areas, they can stop creases before they even start.
How Old Do I Need to Be to Start?
There is no “correct” age to start these treatments. As soon as you begin to see lines that you would rather not have, you can give us a call. We have a huge range of ages in our clientele, including people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s.
Can I Get Other Treatments in Addition to Neurotoxins?
Yes! If you are looking for a complete approach to maintaining smooth skin, you should know that these treatments work very well in combination with dermal fillers. Dermal fillers are another type of injectable. They reduce fine lines and wrinkles by plumping them out and delivering powerful anti-aging agents to your skin. One of the most important is hyaluronic acid, which keeps the skin hydrated and helps it maintain its elasticity. Some of the fillers we offer include:
- Revanesse Versa
- Belotero
- Refyne
- Defyne
How Can I Maximize My Benefits?
The best part about these injections is that there is not much you need to do to maximize the results. They treat the problem of unwanted lines at its source: muscle contractions. You can expect to enjoy months of smooth skin without having to do anything other than come in for your appointment.
That said, getting into a good skincare routine is beneficial for everyone. We recommend good nutrition, sufficient sleep, and lots of hydration. It is also important that you use SPF and a high quality moisturizer every day.
Do These Injections Work on All Skin Types?
Absolutely!
Will These Injections Improve Sun-Damaged Skin?
Yes. It doesn’t matter why you started to see fine lines and wrinkles. There are many contributing factors including genetics, environmental pollution, and, of course, sun damage. While these elements make skin more prone to creasing, it is ultimately the muscle contractions that cause the lines you see. Neurotoxins can relax away the lines, regardless of what caused them.
