A Guide to Botulinum Toxins: Understanding the Five Name Brands
Botulinum toxins have revolutionized cosmetic treatments, offering significant benefits for wrinkle reduction and facial rejuvenation. Among the five main brands available on the market—Xeomin, Botox, Jeuveau, Dysport, and Daxxify—each has distinct characteristics that cater to various patient needs and preferences.
Xeomin is unique among its counterparts, as it contains botulinum toxin A without any added protein. This absence of protein means Xeomin may be less likely to cause resistance over time, making it an appealing option for those looking for long-term treatment. Its formulation is particularly suitable for patients who may have developed sensitivities to the proteins found in other brands.
As the most recognized name in cosmetic injectables, Botox remains the gold standard for many. It is composed of botulinum toxin A encased in proteins, which can enhance its stability during storage but may also contribute to antibody formation in some patients. Botox’s widespread popularity is due to its proven effectiveness, safety profile, and extensive clinical history, making it a go-to choice for many practitioners and patients alike due to name recognition.
Dysport, another botulinum toxin A product, is known for its ability to diffuse more than both Botox and Xeomin. This characteristic enables Dysport to cover larger areas with ease, making it an excellent choice for treating broader regions of the face. The diffusion property can also lead to a more natural appearance, as the effects blend seamlessly into surrounding tissues.
Jeuveau is the latest addition to the botulinum toxin family and has gained attention for its aesthetic-focused formulation. Like Botox and Dysport, Jeuveau contains botulinum toxin A with proteins, but it aims to deliver a refined experience for patients seeking cosmetic procedures. With its innovative qualities and targeted marketing towards a younger demographic, Jeuveau is quickly becoming a popular option among those looking for effective wrinkle reduction.
Daxxify sets itself apart from the other brands by incorporating a peptide-enhanced formulation.complex that is stabilized by a specialized peptide delivery system. This unique formulation allows Daxxify to adhere to nerve cells longer than its competitors, ultimately extending the duration of its effects. Notably, Daxxify is the only neurotoxin currently approved for up to six months of effectiveness, making it an attractive option for those seeking longer-lasting results from their treatments.
When considering botulinum toxin treatments, understanding the differences between these five brands can significantly impact your choices and outcomes. Whether opting for the established charm of Botox, the diffusion quality of Dysport, the newer appeal of Jeuveau, the purity of Xeomin, or the longevity offered by Daxxify, each brand presents unique advantages.
What You Should Know About Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers have gained considerable popularity in cosmetic procedures, primarily due to their ability to enhance facial volume and smooth out wrinkles. Understanding the different types of dermal fillers particularly their duration of action—can help you make informed decisions about your treatment options.
Dermal fillers are categorized based on how long they last:
Short-Acting Fillers - These typically last four months or less and are primarily composed of hyaluronic acid (HA). They provide a quick enhancement but may require more frequent touch-ups.
Long-Acting Fillers - Lasting around six months to one year, these fillers also use hyaluronic acid. They offer a balance between longevity and effectiveness, making them popular among patients seeking longer-lasting results.
Semipermanent Fillers - With a duration of one to two years, semipermanent fillers are formulated with Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) or Poly-L-lactic acid. They provide more prolonged results and can be ideal for those desiring lasting effects without going permanent.
Permanent Fillers - These products, composed of Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) combined with bovine collagen, can last two years or longer. While they offer the longest duration, they may carry more risks and complications, necessitating careful consideration.
The longevity of a filler is influenced by several factors:
-Type of Product - Different formulations and components will naturally lead to varied durations.
- Volume Used - Larger volumes can sometimes extend the lifespan of the filler.
- Patient’s Metabolism - Individual metabolic rates can affect how quickly the body breaks down the filler material.
- Degree of Motion - Areas that see more movement, such as around the mouth, may experience faster breakdown of fillers.
- Facial Expressivity - High levels of facial expression can impact how long fillers maintain their intended effects.
Variability in Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Hyaluronic acid fillers are particularly noteworthy for their formulation differences. Variations in concentration and the degree of cross-linking can significantly affect both the duration of action and post-procedure side effects, such as swelling. Specific hyaluronic acid products can create either softer or firmer tissue filling effects, influencing the aesthetic outcome.
Many hyaluronic acid fillers include lidocaine, an anesthetic that enhances comfort during the injection process. This addition reduces the need for separate anesthesia, making the procedure more straightforward and pleasant for clients. However, additional anesthesia can be used for more comfort,
Understanding the different types of dermal fillers and their characteristics is essential for making an informed decision. Whether you opt for short-acting, long-acting, semipermanent, or permanent options, consulting with a qualified professional can help tailor treatments to your individual needs, ensuring satisfying results.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
BOTULINUM TOXIN
WHAT IS A NEUROTOXIN? Neurotoxins are injectable solutions that temporarily affect nerve receptors in the muscle, which helps prevent lines and wrinkles form forming. Different brand names of this product include Botox, Dysport and Xeomin. Each brand has a slightly different formulation of bacterium: Clostridium Botulinum or Botulinum Toxin A and different FDA approved treatment areas. Neurotoxin treatments are an established and trusted solution for the lines and wrinkles that give you the appearance of aging
HOW DO NEUROTOXINS WORK? The treatment targets one of the underlying causes of specific wrinkles — the repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, smiling and raising the eyebrows over the years. It works by blocking the nerve signals that tell your muscles to contract during facial expressions. When the muscle contraction is blocked, the skin is less likely to form fine lines and wrinkles.
WILL MY FACE LOOK OVERDONE OR UNNATURAL? This is a technique-sensitive treatment. Our providers are licensed, trained medical experts in facial anatomy. They know how to deliver subtle results - you’ll look like yourself—only with less noticeable lines. No one should be able to tell you’ve had anything done.
DO MEN RECEIVE TREATMENTS LIKE BOTOX? Yes. According to Allergan, the number of men receiving cosmetic treatments overall has risen by 325% over the last 20 years – and over one million have received botulinum toxin treatments in the past 3 years.
IS IT PAINFUL? Some patients report that being injected feels like a pinch. Your medical provider may use ice to numb the treatment area. If you are concerned about discomfort, your Medical provider can instead apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment.
IS IT SAFE? Yes. Both Botox and Dysport have been available for over 20 years and has been used to treat not only wrinkles but also many diseases.
HOW MUCH TIME DOES A TREATMENT TAKE? The actual injection process typically takes a quick 10-15 minutes but you may take additional time to discuss the treatment plan with your provider.
I HAVE HEARD THAT YOU CAN GET A DROOPING EYELID – IS THIS TRUE?Side effects, which can include drooping eyelid, are rare and not permanent. The incidence of these side effects is less than 1% and will last from only a few days to a few weeks. Most patients do not experience any side effects at all.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS AND HOW LONG WILL THEY LAST? Results can vary based on a variety of factors. Typically, the treated muscles will relax in 2-6 days with the full results of the treatment seen within roughly 2 weeks. The length of results also can vary greatly from patient-to-patient, but a rough guide is approximately 3 months.
IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME AFTER TREATMENT? Recovery is minimal. The injected area might bruise or swell a little, but you can return to your daily routine immediately.
KYBELLA
WHAT IS KYBELLA? KYBELLA is an FDA-approved nonsurgical treatment that helps address "submental fullness," aka the dreaded double chin that is influenced by aging, genetics and weight gain and is resistant to diet and exercise alone.
HOW DOES IT WORK? KYBELLA uses a synthetic deoxycholic acid that aids in the breakdown and absorption of fatty tissue. When injected into the fat under the chin, those fat cells are destroyed and can no longer store or accumulate fat.
DOES IT HURT? Kybella injections use a very small needle, so patients will feel a similar pinch experienced with Botox. Some patients have reported a hot and uncomfortable feeling immediately after the injection. Ice will be applied to the ease this discomfort and it typically subsides within minutes.
HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE? This is a relatively quick treatment, typically lasting less than 30 minutes.
WHAT IS RECOVERY LIKE AFTER THE TREATMENT? Some common side effects of KYBELLA include swelling, pain, numbness, redness and areas of hardness in the treated area.. Many patients set aside a long weekend to allow the initial swelling to subside. The swelling will continue to reduce over the next few weeks.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED? While results may vary for each patient, it is common to need multiple treatment to achieve desired results. Treatments are given 6 to 8 weeks apart.
HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST? Because Kybella destroys fat cells, the results are long lasting, but diet and exercise should be used to maintain fat loss, since KYBELLA does not prevent future formation of fat.
DERMAL FILLERS
WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS? A hyaluronic acid gel that is injected under the skin to add more volume and restore lost collagen, which leads to a more defined and youthful facial contour.
HOW DO DERMAL FILLERS WORK? A small needle is employed to inject the dermal filler into the desired location. A trained Medical Practioner will decide into which layer of the skin the filler will be injected. The gel will then absorb surrounding fluids and expand. The expansion is immediate and will resolve wrinkles and folds above it. Expansion rates depend on the specific filler, and this influences how quickly results will be seen.
HOW LONG DO DERMAL FILLERS LAST? It can vary based on the type of filler used and area of face injected - e.g. lips can last less time due to the constant movement of that area. Typically it will be nine to eighteen months before requiring another injection.
IS IT PAINFUL? Many filler injections contain the local anesthetic lidocaine to help lessen discomfort during injection. For most patients, the discomfort is minimal. However, if desired, it is also possible to further reduce discomfort with a numbing cream.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS OF FILLER TREATMENTS? The most common side effects are minor local discomfort, bruising, redness and swelling. These effects are temporary and typically last 1-2 weeks.
DOES IT LOOK NATURAL? Natural looking results come from having a medical provider with right skills and experience. When you choose the right medical professional, you can rest assured that you will see natural looking results.
ARE DERMAL FILLERS SAFE? We use dermal fillers that are approved for use by the FDA they are completely safe for use. However, one should always consult with a doctor before receiving any fillers
WHAT IS THE DOWNTIME? Following the injection, you can return immediately to normal activities, but there are a few things to avoid for the first 48 hours. It is important to follow all after-care instructions to ensure safe and optimal results.
SCULPTRA
WHAT IS SCULPTRA® AESTHETIC? Sculptra is made of Poly-L-Lactic Acid, a powerful collagen stimulator that rebuilds fullness, tone and texture for a more natural, youthful appearance that's all you. Over time, the Poly-L-Lactic Acid dissipates as your own tissue takes its place. Collagen is like the glue that holds everything in place. When your body starts to slow down its own production of collagen, skin can start to sag and wrinkle. Sculptra stimulates your body's natural production of collagen to restore facial volume and structure.
DOES SCULPTRA FILL IN LINES? No, SCULPTRA is a bio-activator that stimulates your skin’s own natural collagen production of collagen to rebuild fullness, tone and texture over time – it’s all you.
WHAT AREAS DOES SCULPTRA TREAT? Sculptra can treat most areas of the face. Common areas include nasolabial folds ("smile lines"), jowl areas, sunken cheeks, hollowing temple area and more. Your Medical Practioner can provide a more detailed assessment of your skin and where Sculptra could benefit you.
AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE? If you are looking to restore your own lost collagen and volume or simply add more fullness naturally, you may be a good candidate for Sculptra. The main contraindications for Sculptra include allergies to ingredients in Sculptra, infections or inflammations near the areas to be treated. Our Medical Providers can do a full assessment of your skin along with your personal goals to determine if Sculptra is right for you.
WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS? Sculptra targets the restoration of collagen gradually, so results are not immediately apparent, and tend to emerge subtly, often over weeks to months.
HOW LONG DO TREATMENT RESULTS LAST? Treatment results will differ for each person. In a clinical study, the treatment results lasted for up to 2 years after the first treatment session in most patients. Touch-up treatments may be needed to maintain the desired effects.
WHAT IS THE ACTUAL TREATMENT EXPERIENCE LIKE? For patient comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied to the injection areas. Once numb, Sculptra is injected into the target areas and massaged thoroughly into the face.
WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS WITH SCULPTRA? Redness and swelling can occur immediately after an injection, and generally resolve within hours to a few days. Small bumps around the treatment area may also occur and are usually not visible. If caution is not taken, local infections of the injection site may occur.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER THE TREATMENT? As with many injectable aesthetic treatments, you can expect some swelling and bruising at the injection sites. A critical part of this care will be for you to massage the treated areas for five minutes, five times a day for five days. These massages are important to ensure even distribution and optimal results. To help ensure safe and optimal results, it is important that you comply with all aftercare instructions provided by your Medical Practitioner.
