let’s talk tox: what you should know about botox, dysport and daxxify.
As fall settles in and routines shift, it’s a good time to check in with your skin. If you’ve been thinking about doing something for fine lines or early signs of aging, neurotoxins like Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify are a good place to start.
Whether you’ve had them before or you’re just starting to do your research, here’s what you should know.
What neurotoxins actually do
Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify are injectable treatments that relax specific muscles in the face. This helps smooth lines caused by repeated movement, like forehead creases, frown lines, and crow’s feet. When used consistently, they also help prevent those lines from becoming deeper over time.
They’re commonly used on the upper face, but can also be helpful for things like chin dimpling, lip flips, jaw clenching, and even excessive sweating.
When to start
There’s no perfect age. Some people choose to start early to prevent deeper lines, while others wait until wrinkles become more noticeable. A good rule of thumb is to consider treatment when you notice lines that stick around even when your face is at rest.
How long it lasts
Botox and Dysport tend to last around three to four months. Daxxify can last closer to five or six months. Results usually show up within a week, with full effects by the two-week mark.
Why consistency matters
Neurotoxins work best when used regularly. Not only do results last longer with time, but your muscles also start to respond more predictably, which can mean fewer units needed down the road.
