Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and most recently Daxxify all belong to the same family of medications derived from botulinum toxin, a naturally-occurring protein produced by specific bacteria. When injected carefully into muscles, they are capable of blocking the transmission of signals from the nerve terminals into the muscles, preventing muscle contraction in a controlled and reversible way.

If you're considering Botox vs. fillers, always opt for Botox to smooth fine lines of expression and prevent deep-set wrinkles from forming. On the other hand, if you want to add volume to the lines at rest (aka muscles that aren't contracting), fillers are the solution.

The number of units used during toxin Treatments will not be the same for everyone. Units of toxin will be customized for each individual, according to gender, the area of treatment, the strength of your facial muscles and anything else that may influence the amount of toxin that you need.
