BOTOX is a form of botulinum toxin type A, also called a neurotoxin or neuromodulator. It’s used to temporarily paralyze the small muscles that cause lines and wrinkles when we make facial expressions. BOTOX blocks the signal from the nerves to the muscles, which causes the muscles to relax and the wrinkles to smooth out. Although BOTOX “freezes” the muscles, you will still be able to make facial expressions and emote—as long as you choose an injector who knows what they’re doing. It’s very important that the surgeon or aesthetic physician you select understands the underlying facial muscles, exactly how to administer BOTOX, and knows how to measure units for each part of the face.
Another relaxer we offer is Daxxify. Daxxify is an injectable cosmetic treatment used to reduce the appearance of glabellar lines. Daxxify is a neuromodulator that works similarly to other popular treatments, such as BOTOX and Dysport. Daxxify’s active ingredient, botulinum toxin type A, is a neurotoxin that prevents the nerves from communicating with the facial muscles. That prevents the muscles from contracting, which smooths out the skin between the eyebrows.
Daxxify is formulated with innovative peptide exchange technology rather than human or animal byproducts. This enables the injectable treatment to form a stronger bond with the body, resulting in longer-lasting results.
