At TruWellness, we believe that aging gracefully doesn’t mean giving up your confidence. Whether you’re looking to smooth fine lines, relax deep wrinkles, or simply maintain a refreshed, youthful appearance, BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport, and Daxxify are powerful non-surgical solutions to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. These wrinkle-relaxing injectables work by targeting the underlying muscle activity that causes expression lines, offering smoother, younger-looking skin with little to no downtime. And now they can even enhance the upper lip with our popular lip flip treatment.
What Are BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport, and Daxxify?
BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport, and Daxxify are FDA-approved injectable treatments made from botulinum toxin type A. While they all work in similar ways, each offers unique benefits:
- BOTOX Cosmetic is the most well-known and widely used neurotoxin treatment, proven to reduce moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.
- Dysport works similarly but spreads slightly more once injected, making it ideal for treating larger areas like the forehead.
- Daxxify is the newest addition and uses a peptide formulation that can provide longer-lasting results—up to 6 months for some patients.
These treatments are ideal for individuals looking for a preventative or corrective solution to facial aging, without undergoing surgery. With a lip flip, you can also enhance your upper lip without the use of fillers.
How Do They Work?
Wrinkles form over time as repeated facial expressions—like smiling, frowning, or squinting—cause the muscles beneath your skin to contract. BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport, and Daxxify temporarily block the nerve signals to these muscles, allowing them to relax. As a result:
- Dynamic wrinkles (those caused by movement) soften or disappear
- New wrinkle formation is reduced with continued use
- The skin appears smoother and more youthful
These treatments do not freeze your face. When expertly injected, they preserve natural facial expressions while offering a refreshed look.
What is a Lip Flip?
A lip flip is a quick, minimally invasive treatment that uses BOTOX to subtly enhance the shape of your upper lip. Instead of adding volume like dermal fillers, a lip flip relaxes the muscles around the upper lip, allowing more of the pink part of the lip to naturally “flip” outward.
The result? A fuller-looking lip and a more defined smile without the commitment of fillers.
Benefits of a Botox lip flip include:
- Natural-looking results in just a few days
- Subtle enhancement of the upper lip’s shape
- Less gum showing when you smile (great for “gummy smiles”)
- Quick treatment with no downtime
What Can I Expect During Treatments?
Treatment sessions are quick and convenient, typically lasting around 10 to 20 minutes. Here’s what to expect:
- No anesthesia is required—though a topical numbing cream may be offered for comfort
- A fine needle is used to inject small amounts of the chosen product into specific facial muscles
- Most patients report minimal discomfort, often described as a brief pinching sensation
After your appointment, you can return to most daily activities immediately. Minor swelling or redness at the injection site may occur but usually fades quickly.
What Can I Expect from the Results of BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport, and Daxxify?
Results vary slightly depending on the product used:
- BOTOX Cosmetic: Visible smoothing of lines typically begins within 24–48 hours, with full results in 7–14 days. Results usually last 3–4 months.
- Dysport: May work a bit faster, with noticeable results in as little as 2–3 days. Results can last up to 4 months.
- Daxxify: Known for its longevity, with results that may last 6 months or longer for some patients.
