Botox, Dysport or Daxxify: how we choose
All three relax expression lines. Here's how spread, onset and longevity guide which one we recommend.

Patients often ask which neuromodulator is best. The honest answer is that each has strengths, and the right choice depends on the area, your metabolism and how often you want to come in.
Botox®
The most studied and the most predictable. It stays precisely where it's placed, which makes it ideal for small, detailed areas like the lip flip or around the eyes.
Dysport®
Dysport diffuses a little more and often kicks in a day or two sooner. That spread is helpful for broad areas like the forehead. Units aren't equivalent — expect roughly 2.5 Dysport units for every Botox unit, which is why the per-unit price is lower.
Daxxify®
A peptide-stabilized formula that lasts longer for many patients — often five to six months. It's a great option if you're busy or travel frequently, though it costs more per treatment.
Our approach
On your first visit we'll recommend one based on your goals and anatomy, then refine at the two-week review. Many members alternate depending on season and schedule.
