About Available Toxins
Toxins such as Daxxify, Botox, and Dysport are commonly used in cosmetic and medical procedures to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing muscles. We carry the following 3 toxins at Dauwe Plastic Surgery:
Botox, short for botulinum toxin type A, is one of the most well-known toxins used in aesthetic medicine. It works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting and causing wrinkles to relax and soften. Botox is often used to treat dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines.
Dysport is another botulinum toxin type A product that works similarly to Botox. It is injected into specific facial muscles to temporarily reduce muscle activity, smoothing out wrinkles and lines.
Daxxify is a newer toxin that also utilizes botulinum toxin type A. Like Botox and Dysport, Daxxify is injected into targeted muscles to diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. However, it may have unique characteristics or formulations that distinguish it from other botulinum toxin products.
These toxins are typically administered through minimally invasive injections and provide results that last for several months, with effects typically becoming noticeable within a few days to a week after treatment. While they are commonly used for cosmetic purposes, they can also be used to treat medical conditions such as excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), muscle spasms, and migraines.
Overall, toxins such as Daxxify, Botox, and Dysport offer a safe and effective way to temporarily reduce the signs of aging and achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance with minimal downtime. However, it's important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the most suitable treatment option and ensure safe and satisfactory results.

Available Toxins FAQ
How long do the results last?
The duration of results varies among individuals and the specific neurotoxin used. Generally, effects last between 3 – 4 months, after which maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain the desired appearance.
Can these neurotoxins be combined with other treatments?
Yes, combining neurotoxins with other cosmetic treatments, such as dermal fillers, microneedling, or chemical peels, can enhance overall facial rejuvenation. This approach, often called a "liquid facelift," provides comprehensive aesthetic improvements without surgery.
Are there any age restrictions for neurotoxin treatments?
While neurotoxins are commonly used for adults seeking to reduce signs of aging, younger individuals may also benefit from preventative treatments. Dr. Dauwe will determine if the treatment is appropriate based on your age, skin condition, and aesthetic goals.
