Neurotoxins

BOTOX®

The most recognized name in wrinkle reducers, trusted for over two decades. Botox® works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, softening lines caused by repeated facial expressions. Precise and predictable, it's ideal for fine-tuning specific areas like crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles with natural-looking results.

DYSPORT®

Dysport® features a smaller molecular structure that allows it to spread more naturally across broader muscle groups, making it especially effective for larger areas like the forehead. Many patients notice results within 2 to 3 days, faster than most other neurotoxins. The natural diffusion creates a softer, more even transition between treated and untreated areas.

DAXXIFY®

The first and only peptide-powered neurotoxin. Daxxify® uses a proprietary stabilizing peptide instead of human or animal byproducts, allowing it to bind more tightly and consistently to its target. The result is longer-lasting results that can extend 6 to 9 months for some patients, with a fast onset of just 1 to 2 days.

What to Expect

1. Consultation

We start with a thorough assessment of your facial anatomy, movement patterns, and aesthetic goals. Your provider will recommend the right product and dosage for your unique needs.

2. Preparation

The treatment area is cleansed and prepped. We use a vibrating tool and ice to minimize any discomfort — most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch.

3. Injection

Using a fine needle, your provider places precise micro-injections into the targeted muscles. The entire process typically takes 15–20 minutes.

4. Results

You'll start seeing changes around days 3–5, with full results at the 2-week mark. We recommend a follow-up at 2 weeks to assess and make any adjustments.

Common Questions

Does it hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch or mosquito bite. We use a vibrating tool and ice to help minimize discomfort. The whole treatment is over in about 15 minutes, and most people find it very tolerable.
How do I choose between Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify?
That's what your consultation is for. Each product has slightly different properties — Botox is precise and predictable, Dysport spreads more naturally across broader areas, and Daxxify lasts significantly longer. Your provider will recommend the best fit based on your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle.
Will I look frozen or overdone?
Not at EMBODY. Our approach is always natural-looking results. We believe in enhancing your features, not erasing your expressions. Your provider tailors every treatment to your unique facial movement so you still look like you — just refreshed.
How long do results last?
Botox and Dysport typically last 3–4 months. Daxxify can last up to 6 months for some patients. With consistent treatments, many clients find their results last longer over time as the muscles adapt.
What's a lip flip?
A lip flip involves placing a small amount of wrinkle reducer into the upper lip muscles, causing the lip to gently roll outward for a subtly fuller appearance. It's a quick, natural-looking alternative to lip filler — great for first-timers or anyone who wants a soft enhancement.
Can I get wrinkle reducers if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — wrinkle reducers are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We're happy to discuss other skincare options that are safe during this time.
How often should I come in?
Most clients come in every 3–4 months to maintain results. If you're using Daxxify, you may be able to stretch to every 5–6 months. We'll help you find the right schedule during your follow-up.
