BOTOX & Neurotoxin 101

💉 Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify

1️⃣ What’s the difference between Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify?

Botox is the household name and a classic for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. Results show up in about 3-7 days and last around 3-4 months.

Dysport works faster for some people (results in 2-3 days) and spreads a little more, making it a great choice for larger areas like the forehead.

Daxxify is the new kid on the block with longer-lasting results — up to 6 months or more. Perfect if you want fewer touch-ups.

At Akin, we’ll recommend the best option for your goals, skin type, and how long you want results to last. 💛

✅ Avoid lying down for 4 hours.
