BOTOX, Dysport, Jeuveau & Daxxify, Oh My! Here’s the Difference Between the Top Neuromodulators on the Market

Just as Kleenex is synonymous with tissues, BOTOX® has long been used as a catch-all term for injectable neuromodulators.

Most recently, in September 2022, the FDA approved Daxxify®, the first major innovation in neuromodulator formulation in over 30 years. In this post, we explain everything you need to know about the 5 injectable neuromodulators currently available: BOTOX®, Dysport®, Jeuveau®, Xeomin®, and Daxxify®. How do neurotoxins work? How are neurotoxins measured? What is the difference between injectable neurotoxins? Are all neurotoxins injected similarly? ...

4 Reasons Dermal Filler May Fade Faster Than You Expected

Most facial fillers last somewhere between 6-18 months. If your injector gave you an estimate, but your results seem to be fading faster than you expected, here are some reasons this may be happening. 1. You received a filler with a shorter duration Each filler formula has a slightly different molecular structure that affects how long it lasts when injected—usually anywhere from 6 to 18 months or longer. For example, Juvéderm Volbella usually lasts about 12 months, while Juvéderm Vollure can last up to 18 months. If you received a longer-lasting filler in the past, but your injector used a filler with a shorter duration for your touch-up, then...

Should I switch up my Botox-type injectables?

When you ask your injector for “some Botox,” do you know which formula they choose for you?

Why You Should Choose a Cosmetic Surgery Practice for Your Injectables

Injectables offer a safe, non-surgical solution for attractively restoring volume, improving facial contours, and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles—if performed by a vetted, highly-experienced injector who is under the supervision of a board certified cosmetic surgeon. In 2021, injectables made up 65% of non-surgical procedures in the US—over 3.6 million neurotoxin and over 1.8 million dermal filler treatments were provided. But, as the popularity of injectables has skyrocketed, so has the number of injectors—and many are woefully underqualified. To help ensure you select a qualified injector, we've put together this blog explaining why it matters who performs your cosmetic injections. Who can legally perform facial injections? Why does it...
