There are 5 kinds of Botox available and they are equally effective. Daxxify®, Botox®, Dysport®,Jeuveau™ and Xeomin® are made by different companies but they work by exactly the same way. (Note: Daxxify® is unique in that it lasts double the duration of the previous brands.) The cost of each brand is the same and the results are equal. A good analogy would be a person is looking for ibuprofen in a pharmacy. One person might buy Motrin, Advil or Nuprin. At the end of the day – they are all taking ibuprofen.
The most important factor is the skill of the person injecting rather than the product itself. E.g. If all the brands of botox are like “scissors” – it’s the skill of the hair stylist that determines the result.
In regards to safety – one must differentiate cosmetic Botox from medical Botox. Botox has been used in hospitals since 1989 for eye disorders, muscle spasms, migraine headaches and hyperhydrosis (sweaty palms). These patients receive hundreds of units of Botox for these conditions. In contrast – cosmetic Botox has only been used since 2002 and patients only receive 50 units or less. As a result – cosmetic Botox is among the safest procedures in medicine without any risk of permanent problems.
Botox® relaxes the muscle by blocking nerve impulses. Think of a computer that is connected to the Internet. Botox basically turns off your internet signal so that you can not surf the internet. The hardware still works and everything is intact. Just no signal.
Note how the Botox® makes a kinder, gentler (“relaxed”) impression in this person’s face. The patient is still able to express themselves naturally. He does not appear as intense or angry looking. Click HERE to see more examples of Before & After Photos.

The fear of a frozen face is a common anxiety that some clients may have. As long as you go to an experienced injector there will never be a problem. There are 53 facial muscles and we only inject botox in safe areas that allow the freedom to express yourself while reducing wrinkles.
How long is the procedure? 10-15 minutes. No downtime. People often come during their lunch break and can return to work without anyone knowing. How long does it take for Botox® to work? It takes 3-7 days for botox to work. Everybody will notice you look rested and refreshed. Unless you tell them – nobody will know why. How long does Botox® last? On average – it works 3-4 months for most people. (The newest brand – Daxxify lasts 6-8 months) It depends on how much you are using the muscles. The more expressive you are – the shorter the duration. Does it hurt? No anesthetic required! Similar to a TB skin test or a bug bite. What happens if I stop using Botox® after 4 months? If you stop using Botox® – you will return to how you looked without it. We are noticing that many people are also using botox at younger ages as a prevention for wrinkles.
