Are there alternatives to Botox?

Botox has been around the longest and is the most well-known, but there are several other injectable treatments that work similarly.

Center Aesthetic & Dermatology also provides:

• Dysport, which contains a variation of the active ingredient in Botox.
• Daxxify, a longer-lasting option that uses a unique peptide formulation for sustained results.
• Jeuveau, is a newer product, which contains a similar botulinum toxin to Botox but is specifically formulated for cosmetic use.

Your provider at Center can help you determine your best option based on factors such as your desired results and whether you have an allergy or concerns about a particular ingredient.

Does Botox hurt?

Botox and similar wrinkle-reducing products are injected into the area using a very fine needle and take only a few seconds per injection. As a result, any pain or discomfort tends to be mild and temporary. People have compared the sensation to a tiny pinch. For added ease, you can request ice or a topical numbing gel.

How long does Botox last?

Botox results typically begin to appear 1-2 days after treatment, with full effects visible within 10-14 days. The onset of effects from Dysport, Jeuveau, and Daxxify is generally faster than Botox. While many people experience benefits for 3-4 months with Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau, Daxxify typically can last 5-6 months. We send out appointment reminders every 4 months to ensure your results are consistent and leave you looking your best.
