Botox and Daxxify

What is Botox?

You’ve likely heard of the most popular minimally invasive cosmetic treatment on the market, but what exactly is Botox? Botox is an injection derived from botulinum toxin, and when strategically placed by a licensed professional, it can alleviate the wrinkles and lines that inevitably develop as you age. 

What is Daxxify?

Similar to Botox, Daxxify is an injectable treatment derived from botulinum toxin type A. Daxxify smooths wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause them, particularly the frown lines between your eyebrows (glabellar lines).

Your beYOU bioidenticals provider performs Daxxify injections in the office, and you can return to your normal activities right away.

How can Botox and Daxxify rejuvenate my appearance?

As you age, repeated facial movements and expressions contribute to the formation of wrinkles near overused muscles. Both Botox and Daxxify address these dynamic wrinkles by reducing muscle activity beneath the skin.

Botox is often used for forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines, while Daxxify specifically targets moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows—and offers a longer-lasting result.
Most patients enjoy a smoother, refreshed appearance for around six months or longer, compared to the typical three months with Botox.

If you love your results, you can schedule follow-up treatments at beYOU bioidenticals to maintain your rejuvenated look year-round.

What are the side effects of Botox and Daxxify?

Botox and Daxxify injections are typically well-tolerated when they're administered by experienced professionals like the team at beYOU bioidenticals. Some minor side effects can occur after your Botox or Daxxify injections, including:

• Mild redness at or near the injection site
• Slight discomfort
• Swelling
• Headache
• Temporary droopy eyelids

If you’re concerned about post-treatment side effects, contact the team at beYOU bioidenticals.

Am I a good candidate for Botox or Daxxify injections?

Many patients are candidates for treatment with Botox or Daxxify. During your consultation, your beYOU bioidenticals provider inquires about your medical history, current health, and any medications you take to ensure that the treatment is safe for you. You may be a good candidate for Botox or Daxxify if you:

• Are over 18
• Want fewer wrinkles and lines
• Aren’t pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have realistic expectations for treatment

With Botox or Daxxify, you can look years younger without undergoing high-risk surgical procedures.
