Dynamic wrinkles are the result of facial expression and they regularly begin to appear in your 30s. If you would prefer to smooth current wrinkles and even prevent them from becoming more noticeable, neurotoxin injectables may be your ideal solution. Botox, Jeuveau, and DAXXIFY are neurotoxins that have unique benefits for your wrinkle needs. We strive to deliver the best neurotoxins Newport Beach has to offer.
In order to best serve our patients, we offer a selection of neurotoxins for comprehensive treatment.
As a go-to treatment in many cosmetic offices, Botox Cosmetic was the first FDA-approved injectable aesthetic neurotoxin. Formulated with onabotulinumtoxinA, Botox is a well-established and widely recognized neurotoxin. Botox is known for its efficacy and offers a highly effective solution for addressing crow’s feet, forehead lines, frown lines, and other dynamic wrinkles and lines that arise from facial muscle contractions.
Another innovative neurotoxin made with prabotulinumtoxinA and often referred to as “Newtox”, Jeuveau can also smooth dynamic wrinkles in the face and offer a more youthful appearance. Because the Jeuveau purification process is different from Botox, some patients experience longer-lasting results with this neurotoxin.
DAXXIFY is the latest generation of neurotoxin injectables and is made with daxibotulinumtoxinA. Because DAXXIFY is made with durable peptides, it often lasts up to twice as long as Botox and offers a soft, smooth finish.
When comparing Jeuveau, Botox, and Daxxify, it's important to note that each has its own uses. Botox, the first FDA-approved neuromodulator for cosmetic use, offers a proven track record of safety and effectiveness. Jeuveau, a newer alternative, delivers similar results. However, it tends to last longer than Botox, and tends to be more potent with a smaller dosage needed to achieve results. Daxxify stands out with longer-lasting results, typically 2-3 times longer than Botox, thanks to its unique formulation combining neurotoxins and a protein not present in Botox.
Understanding these differences helps individuals make informed decisions when choosing a neuromodulator treatment. While each of these products have their pros and cons and specific uses, the expertise of an aesthetic professional can ultimately determine which neurotoxin will be optimal for you and your particular needs.
Neurotoxins work to correct dynamic wrinkles by paralyzing the underlying muscles responsible for facial expressions to prevent movement, effectively relaxing expression lines. In contrast, dermal fillers can correct wrinkles and add volume by physically filling the space under the skin, utilizing hyaluronic acid to restore fullness in areas affected by loss of volume.
Neurotoxins are typically administered in the upper face, focusing on areas like the forehead and around the eyes, where expressive muscles are prominent. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, can be injected in either the upper or lower portions of the face, addressing volume loss around the lips, mouth, eyes, and cheeks.
Both methods have their ideal applications. To determine the most suitable treatment for your needs, consult with a medical professional who can assess your concerns and provide personalized recommendations.
By temporarily paralyzing or “freezing” the underlying facial muscles, neurotoxins help to achieve a smoother and more youthful appearance via a minimally invasive treatment. This technique has proven to be successful in reducing the visibility of wrinkles, resulting in a rejuvenated look without surgery.
Where can Neurotoxins be used?
Neurotoxins can be used in a variety of areas, including:
If you are seeking treatment for dynamic wrinkles in the face and prefer a non-surgical, minimally invasive method, you are likely a great candidate for neurotoxin treatment. Those who have had a previous allergic reaction to botulism toxin based injectables may not be good candidates.
There is typically no downtime needed after treatment with neurotoxins. Depending on the formulation, our Newport Beach neurotoxin patients may see results within around two to five days, and results can last anywhere from three to nine months in most patients.
