Do you look tired or feel like you are showing signs of aging? Expression lines can make you look older even when you are relaxed. Products like Botox® Cosmetic can help soften those lines, and prevent them from getting worse.

Botox for Anxiety (Commentary)

BOTOX has very tiny amounts of a highly purified protein refined from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. There are no active bacteria in BOTOX, therefore it cannot replicate.

The duration of effect of Botox Cosmetic for frown lines is about 3 to 4 months.

Botox Cosmetic injections are widely viewed as safe, effective, and largely without serious side effects. It is important to be under the care of a licensed and skilled health care provider who understands both the science and art of performing these treatments. The most common side effects include mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising at the injection site.

Many people worry that their faces will shrivel or become more wrinkled after they stop using Botox. The reality is that Botox helps delay the aging process. When you stop getting Botox, your expression lines won’t reappear overnight. Your skin will look smoother with fewer wrinkles, and you will look younger relative to your age.

The effects of Botox Cosmetic may last for months, but Botox is broken down into harmless particles that leave your system completely long before that. The duration of the effect is temporary, but typically lasts for months because the Botox temporarily affects a specific type of protein within the nerve endings that normally helps the muscle contract. The beneficial effects of treatment wear off when your body repairs that protein.

BOTOX prevents headaches and migraines attacks before they even start. About 10 minutes of treatment every 3 months can help chronic migraine sufferers. See the section entitled “Botox for Migraine and Tension Headaches” above.

Here is a quick comparison:

BOTOX Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines in adults. BOTOX was the first of its kind to be FDA-approved for cosmetic use in 2002. All Botox around the world is currently manufactured in Westport, Ireland by Allergan, an AbbVie company.

DYSPORT was FDA-approved in 2009 to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows in adults. Off-label, it is used to treat crow’s feet, forehead lines, and other areas on the face, neck, and elsewhere. Dysport was developed in the United Kingdom, and is manufactured by Ipsen, a biopharmaceutical company in France. It is sold by Galderma for aesthetic indications.

DAXXIFY was FDA-approved in 2022 to temporarily improve moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults. Like the previously mentioned products, it can be used off-label to treat other areas. It is an alternative to Botox. DAXXIFY has a longer median duration of action of 6 months due to what is known as peptide exchange technology. Unlike its competitors, it is “vegan” since it has no added human albumin or animal byproducts. It is manufactured by Revance Therapeutics in Northern California. It is about 1.5 times more expensive than Botox, but its long-lasting duration can make it a value for those with busy schedules who prefer not to visit their injectors so often.
