How Do BOTOX, DAXXIFY, & Jeuveau Work?

Neurotoxins, also called neuromodulators, like BOTOX, DAXXIFY, and Jeuveau, are used to treat wrinkles that are caused by the contractions of facial muscles, which is different from the way dermal fillers restore volume within the skin to fill out wrinkles and folds. When a small amount of neurotoxin is injected into facial muscles, it temporarily suspends their ability to contract and crease the skin. Over time, the wrinkles, creases, and furrows of the face fade away.

What Do BOTOX, DAXXIFY, & Jeuveau Treat?

Our BOTOX Cosmetic, DAXXIFY, and Jeuveau patients typically desire a subtle yet noticeable improvement in their look but don’t feel that surgery is necessary. This treatment is commonly used to:

• Soften the vertical creases between the eyebrows
• Smooth deep forehead wrinkles
• Diminish crow’s feet at the outer corners of the eyes

Other areas that may respond to BOTOX Cosmetic, Jeuveau, and DAXXIFY include wrinkles around the mouth and nose, as well as the neck.

What Else Can BOTOX, DAXXIFY, & Jeuveau Be Used For?

Other uses for BOTOX, Jeuveau, and DAXXIFY injections include:

• Migraines
• Jawline (masseter) reduction
• TMJ
• Excessive underarm sweating

Can BOTOX, Jeuveau, and DAXXIFY Enhance Facial Plastic Surgery Results?

Regular BOTOX, Jeuveau, or DAXXIFY treatments can enhance the results of facial plastic surgery procedures such as facelift and brow lift surgery in a variety of ways, which include:

• Smoothing out lines not addressed or fully corrected by surgery
• Rejuvenating the upper face when combined with a facelift
• Providing a subtle brow lift to complement eyelid surgery
• Preventing new wrinkles from forming to maintain surgical results

“I have always been curious about Botox but a little apprehensive to try it. However, the experience I had at Koch made me completely change my mind. Pam did a fantastic job of explaining the procedure and making me feel comfortable. I cannot express how happy I am with my results and would recommend Koch to my friends. I will definitely be returning there for further treatments.”

What To Expect During BOTOX, DAXXIFY, & Jeuveau Treatments

BOTOX, DAXXIFY, and Jeuveau treatments consist of a simple series of injections performed using a very fine needle. Although most patients do not experience discomfort, if you are concerned, we can numb the areas with ice or anesthetic cream. The procedure usually takes just minutes to complete.

Your specific facial anatomy and the location of lines and wrinkles determine the exact injection sites for your treatment. Typically, treatment for crow’s feet includes 3 injection locations. Treating glabellar lines (“worry lines”) usually includes 5 separate injection sites just above and between the brow.

How Many Units of BOTOX, DAXXIFY, & Jeuveau Will I Need?

BOTOX, DAXXIFY, and Jeuveau treatments are based on the number of units injected in each area. Here are the typical number of units for common treatment areas:

• Forehead lines: 5 to 25 units
• Glabellar lines: 20 to 25 units
• Crow’s feet: 5 to 15 units (each side)

What Is BOTOX, DAXXIFY, & Jeuveau Recovery Like?

Neurotoxin treatments typically require little or no downtime, and patients are usually able to resume their normal activities immediately. We do recommend that you avoid putting pressure on treated areas for the remainder of the day.

What To Expect at Your BOTOX, DAXXIFY, & Jeuveau Consultation

There is no charge for a comprehensive BOTOX, DAXXIFY, or Jeuveau consultation. Your provider will spend a great deal of time with you, discussing your goals, concerns, and physical and lifestyle considerations. We will listen intently to what you have to say, and together we will develop the best approach to your treatment.

Neuromodulators vs. Dermal Fillers

While both are injectable facial rejuvenation treatments, neuromodulators and dermal fillers have some important differences, including:

Neuromodulators

• Smooth out lines caused by facial muscle contractions
• Treat other concerns, such as migraine headaches and excessive sweating
• Results begin in 2 to 5 days and continue to improve for up to 2 weeks
• Last 3 to 4 months

Dermal Fillers

• Add and restore volume within the skin to smooth out facial folds, restore volume around the eyes and on the cheeks
• Reshape facial features such as the nose, lips, and jawline
• Provide immediate results
• Last 6 months to 2 years, depending on the filler and treatment area
