Botox

Avoid touching you face, laying down flat or strenuous activities for the first 4 hours.

Avoid heat exposure, exercise, alcohol and other facial treatments for at least 24 hours.

Bruising is common and nothing to be concerned about.

It depends on the person but you can expect to see results in as little as 5 days with full results coming in after 14 days.

The most common area to inject is the upper face (forehead and glabella). This area typically requires around 30 units and would cost $408.

See the chart below for a breakdown of all the areas.

Units: Dysport typically requires 3x the units of Botox, but the effect is similar due to differences in formulation.

Onset: Dysport may work slightly faster, with results appearing in 3-5 days vs. 7-10 days for Botox.

Spread: Dysport tends to diffuse more, making it ideal for larger areas, while Botox is often preferred for smaller, precise areas.

Duration: Botox will typically last 3 months while Dysport can last 3-4 months.

Both are effective for reducing wrinkles; the choice depends on personal goals and provider recommendations.

Duration: Daxxify lasts longer, with results lasting up to 6-9 months compared to 3-4 months for Botox.

Onset: Both have a similar onset.

Formula: Daxxify uses a peptide in its formulation, while Botox does not.

Cost: Daxxify may be more expensive upfront, but its longer duration can reduce the frequency of treatments.

Both are effective for wrinkle reduction, with Daxxify offering extended longevity. The best choice depends on your goals and how frequently you want to undergo treatment.
