Frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet can make you appear tired or tense even when you feel well-rested. Neuromodulator injections offer a nonsurgical way to soften these expression lines, but choosing among BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and DAXXIFY® may feel confusing.
Peak Plastic Surgery Center in Denver, CO, offers all three of these services. Dr. Eric Barker and his team develop personalized aesthetic treatment plans based on each patient’s anatomy and goals. Their safety-focused approach is designed to produce beautiful, natural-looking results rather than a frozen appearance.
How Do Neuromodulators Work?
A neuromodulator temporarily reduces the nerve signals that cause selected facial muscles to contract. As those muscles relax, wrinkles created by repeated expressions become less noticeable.
These injections are commonly considered for areas such as:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Horizontal forehead wrinkles
- Crow’s feet near the eyes
- Other expression-related concerns
Effects are temporary, and ongoing appointments are needed to maintain them.
What Is BOTOX Cosmetic?
BOTOX Cosmetic contains onabotulinumtoxinA and has been used in aesthetic medicine for many years. Its FDA-approved cosmetic uses include moderate-to-severe frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and platysma bands in the neck. The effects of BOTOX generally last about 3 to 4 months, although individual outcomes vary.
This injectable often appeals to those who want a widely recognized option with several authorized applications.
What Is Dysport?
Dysport contains abobotulinumtoxinA and is FDA-approved to temporarily improve moderate-to-severe lines between the eyebrows in adults younger than 65.
Some patients and injectors find that Dysport spreads across a treatment area differently from other formulas. This does not make it better or worse; it simply means injection placement and dosing must be planned carefully.
What Is DAXXIFY?
DAXXIFY contains daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm and is FDA-approved for moderate-to-severe frown lines. In two Phase 3 trials, 74% of participants achieved no or mild glabellar lines at maximum frown, with at least a two-grade improvement according to both investigator and patient assessments at week four.
DAXXIFY may interest individuals who want to discuss a neuromodulator that can potentially last longer than some traditional options, although results and duration vary.
