Which One Is Right for You?

Our NPs make this recommendation at your free consultation — but here's a quick guide:

If...

You're new to injectables

Consider

Botox

Most studied, most predictable, ideal starting point.

If...

You want the fastest results

Consider

Dysport

Kicks in 1–3 days vs. 3–7 for others.

If...

You feel Botox has stopped working

Consider

Xeomin or Dysport

Different protein structures may overcome resistance.

If...

You're treating a large area like the forehead

Consider

Dysport

Higher diffusion covers more area naturally.

If...

You want a "clean" formulation with no complexing proteins

Consider

Xeomin

The only naked neurotoxin — pure botulinum toxin A.

If...

You want a modern, aesthetics-focused brand

Consider

Jeuveau

FDA-approved exclusively for cosmetic use with Hi-Pure technology.

If...

You want the longest-lasting results (up to 6 months)

Consider

Daxxify

Peptide-stabilized, fast onset, and the only neurotoxin with up to 6-month duration in trials.

Still not sure? That's exactly what a free consultation is for.

All Five Neurotoxins — FAQs

What is the difference between Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin, and Daxxify?

All five are FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A neurotoxins that temporarily relax muscles to reduce wrinkles. Dysport tends to kick in faster (1–3 days). Xeomin is "naked" — free of complexing proteins. Jeuveau is FDA-approved exclusively for cosmetic use. Daxxify uses peptide stabilization, has no animal proteins, and lasts up to 6 months — the longest of any FDA-approved neurotoxin. Botox remains the most studied and widely known.

Which neurotoxin lasts the longest?

Daxxify lasts up to 6 months for most clients — longer than Botox, Jeuveau, and Xeomin (3–4 months) and typically longer than Dysport (3–5 months). Individual results vary based on metabolism, treatment area, and dosage.

Can Botox stop working over time?

Some clients report that Botox becomes less effective over many years of use. This is often due to antibody development against the complexing proteins. Switching to Xeomin (which has no complexing proteins), Dysport, Jeuveau, or Daxxify can be effective for these clients.

Does Dysport spread more than Botox?

Yes — Dysport has a higher diffusion rate, which makes it excellent for large areas like the forehead. For precision areas like the lip flip or corners of the mouth, a lower-spread toxin like Botox, Xeomin, or Daxxify is typically preferred.

What is Jeuveau and is it as good as Botox?

Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA) is the first neurotoxin FDA-approved exclusively for cosmetic use in the US. It's manufactured using a Hi-Pure technology and clinical trials showed results comparable to Botox. Many clients and injectors love it as a modern alternative.

What is Xeomin and why is it called the "naked" neurotoxin?

Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is formulated without the complexing proteins found in other neurotoxins. This "naked" formulation may reduce the chance of antibody resistance developing over time, making it a strong choice for long-term clients.

What is Daxxify and why is it different?

Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA) is the newest FDA-approved neurotoxin, stabilized with a proprietary peptide instead of human or animal proteins. It has among the fastest onset (1–2 days for many clients) and the longest duration — up to 6 months in clinical trials.

Which neurotoxins does Hello Gorgeous offer?

We offer all five FDA-approved neurotoxins: Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin, and Daxxify. We are the only med spa in the Fox Valley with all five. During your free consultation, your licensed nurse practitioner will recommend the best option based on your treatment goals, history, and face.

Is Dysport cheaper than Botox?

Dysport is priced per unit, but requires more units than Botox (roughly 2.5–3 Dysport units = 1 Botox unit). The overall treatment cost is often comparable. Your provider will give you an exact quote at consultation based on your areas and goals.

DON'T PASS THIS PLACE UP! I'm so happy with my B12 and Biotin vitamin shots, and the pricing is great. I'm also receiving Botox to treat referred pain and my results are amazing. I'm so happy! Ryan is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and excellent at administering the injections painlessly. Both Ryan and Danielle are so welcoming that you feel like you're with friends during your visit. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Love Hello Gorgeous! I’ve gotten my lashes done by Michelle a few times and they always turn out amazing. Recently started Frotox with Danielle and my skin has never looked better & after 1 session I already see some of the results I want. They’re both so great at what they do I can’t recommend them enough! Sending my friends & fam here for their pre-holiday glam :)
