Botox, Daxxify, Dysport

Your Top Questions Answered by Akin Med Spa in Riverton, UT

​

What is Botox and how does it work?

Botox is an FDA-approved injectable that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for wrinkles and fine lines. By softening these muscle movements, Botox helps your skin look smoother, younger, and more refreshed. It’s especially effective for treating forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines.

 

Is Botox safe?

Yes! Botox has been safely used for cosmetic treatments for over 20 years and has a well-documented safety record. At Akin Med Spa, your treatment will be performed by a licensed, highly trained injector to ensure your safety and natural-looking results.

 

How much does Botox cost in Riverton, Utah?

Botox pricing varies based on the number of units needed and your treatment goals. During your consultation at Akin Med Spa, we’ll create a personalized plan and provide clear pricing upfront. Don’t forget — we also offer membership discounts and participate in Alle Rewards, so you can save even more!

 

How long does Botox last?

Most clients enjoy smooth, refreshed skin for about 3 to 4 months after a Botox treatment. With regular touch-ups, some clients notice that their results last longer over time.

 

Does Botox hurt?

Botox injections involve a very fine needle, and most clients report only mild discomfort — often described as a quick pinch. Treatments are fast, typically taking less than 15 minutes, and require no downtime.

 

What’s the difference between Botox, Daxii and Dysport?

Botox, Daxxify, and Dysport are all popular wrinkle relaxers that work by temporarily relaxing facial muscles to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles — but they differ in a few key ways.

• Botox is the most well-known, offering precise, targeted results that last about 3-4 months.

• Daxxify is the newest option, known for longer-lasting results — up to 6 months or more for some clients.

• Dysport spreads a bit more than Botox, making it ideal for treating larger areas like the forehead and can show results slightly faster.

At Akin Med Spa in Riverton, UT, we offer all three — and we’ll help you choose the right one based on your goals, treatment area, and desired longevity.
