Botox, Daxxify & Xeomin Injections
Expression lines on the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes are some of the most common reasons patients visit our aesthetics team. Physician-led neurotoxin injections may soften their appearance while keeping your face expressive.
Smoother lines, still you
Botox, Daxxify and Xeomin are neuromodulators that temporarily relax the small muscles that create frown lines, forehead creases and crow’s feet. Because the muscle moves less, the skin above it has a chance to rest and smooth.
Each product has its own character. Botox and Xeomin are familiar choices that many patients repeat every few months. Daxxify is another option that typically lasts about 6 months for some patients. Individual results vary. During your consultation we explain the differences and help you choose.
Our goal is a rested, approachable look, never a frozen one. Your provider studies how your face moves, then places small, precise amounts only where they are needed.

Neurotoxin questions
How long do Botox, Daxxify and Xeomin last?
Many patients see results for about 3–4 months with Botox or Xeomin. Daxxify may last longer for some people. Duration varies with your anatomy, dose and metabolism.
Will I look frozen or expressionless?
Not when it is done conservatively. Doses are tailored with the goal of keeping natural movement while lines soften.
Does it hurt?
Most patients feel only brief pinching. Numbing cream or ice can be used if you prefer.
Who should avoid neurotoxins?
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and certain neuromuscular conditions are common reasons to wait. We review your history before any treatment.

Individual results vary. This page is for information only and is not medical advice. Botox, Daxxify and Xeomin are prescription medications and are not right for everyone. Daxxify is FDA-approved for frown lines between the brows, so use in other areas, like forehead lines, crow’s feet or bunny lines, is off-label. Results vary.
