Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, and Jeuveau are all FDA-approved neurotoxins used to safely and effectively soften lines, prevent wrinkles, and restore a naturally refreshed appearance. Here's everything you need to know.
Neurotoxins are purified proteins derived from Clostridium botulinum that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles. When injected by a skilled provider, they smooth existing lines and prevent new ones from forming — without altering your natural expressions.
They are among the most studied and widely used treatments in aesthetic medicine, with an exceptional safety record spanning decades of clinical use. Results typically last 3–4 months, and with regular treatment, many patients find their results lasting longer over time.
At Woodstock Medical Aesthetics, Nikki Gewirz PA-C carefully selects the right neurotoxin for each patient based on their anatomy, goals, and treatment area — ensuring results that look effortless and feel completely natural.
All three are FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A products that work similarly — but each has distinct characteristics that may make one a better fit for your needs.
The gold standard in aesthetic neurotoxins with over 20 years of clinical data. Botox is trusted worldwide for its consistent, predictable results and versatility across treatment areas.
Known as the "naked" neurotoxin — Xeomin is formulated without accessory proteins, which may reduce the risk of antibody resistance over time. A great option for patients who have used Botox for years.
Dysport has a slightly smaller molecule structure, allowing it to spread more easily — making it an excellent choice for larger treatment areas like the forehead. Many patients notice results a day or two sooner.
Nikki evaluates your facial anatomy, reviews your goals, and recommends the right neurotoxin and dosage for natural-looking results.
A series of small injections using ultra-fine needles. Most patients describe minimal discomfort. The appointment takes 15–30 minutes.
You'll begin to notice softening within 3–5 days. Full results appear at 2 weeks, with no downtime required after treatment.
Most patients return every 3–4 months. With consistent treatment, muscles relax more over time — meaning you may need less product.
Neurotoxins can address a wide range of concerns — from smoothing expression lines to subtle facial reshaping and medical applications.
