Aesthetics and Medical Lasers of Colorado, we offer a range of injectables designed to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, including well-known treatments like Xeomin and Botox as well as newer options such as Daxxify and Jeuveau. Each of these treatments works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause wrinkles, but there are key differences that may make one option better suited to your needs.

What are Xeomin, Botox, Daxxify, and Jeuveau?

All of these products belong to a category of treatments known as neuromodulators, which are derived from botulinum toxin. They work by preventing muscle contractions in specific areas of the face, leading to smoother, younger-looking skin. However, each injectable has unique characteristics in terms of formulation, duration, and effectiveness. Here’s a closer look at how they compare:

Xeomin vs. Botox: The Classics

• Botox: Known as the gold standard in wrinkle relaxers, Botox has been used for decades and is FDA-approved for a variety of areas, including forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. Botox includes accessory proteins, which may affect how the body reacts to the treatment over time.
• Xeomin: Often referred to as the “naked” neurotoxin, Xeomin is free of the additional proteins found in Botox. This pure formulation can reduce the risk of developing resistance to the treatment, making it a popular alternative for long-term users of Botox.

Jeuveau: The “Newtox”

• Jeuveau: Marketed as “Newtox,” Jeuveau is one of the newest wrinkle relaxers on the market and has quickly gained popularity. Like Botox, Jeuveau targets dynamic wrinkles, particularly in the glabellar (frown line) area. While its formulation is similar to Botox, Jeuveau is slightly more affordable in many cases and is popular with a younger demographic seeking preventative care. Some patients have reported that Jeuveau may have a quicker onset of action compared to other injectables.

Daxxify: Long-Lasting Results

• Daxxify: One of the most exciting recent developments in neuromodulators, Daxxify is a longer-lasting option, providing results for up to 6 months or more in some cases. Unlike Botox or Xeomin, which typically last 3 to 4 months, Daxxify’s unique peptide-enhanced formulation extends the longevity of the results. This makes it a great choice for patients looking for a less frequent maintenance schedule.

Key Differences Between These Injectables

1. Onset and Duration
   • Botox: Typically takes 3 to 5 days for visible results, lasting about 3 to 4 months.
   • Xeomin: Onset within 5 to 7 days, with results lasting 3 to 4 months.
   • Jeuveau: Often shows effects within 2 to 3 days, with results lasting 3 to 4 months.
   • Daxxify: Results start within 1 to 2 weeks and can last 6 to 9 months, offering a longer-lasting option.
2. Formulation
   • Botox and Jeuveau contain accessory proteins that may impact how your body reacts to the treatment.
   • Xeomin is a pure form without any additives, reducing the risk of resistance.
   • Daxxify is peptide-enhanced, which contributes to its longer-lasting effects.
3. Cost and Maintenance
   • Botox, Xeomin, and Jeuveau are generally priced similarly, though Jeuveau can be slightly more affordable.
   • Daxxify may have a higher upfront cost due to its longer-lasting results, but fewer sessions are required over the course of the year, potentially saving you money in the long run.
4. FDA Approvals and Treatment Areas
   • Botox: Approved for a wide range of facial areas including the forehead, crow’s feet, and frown lines.
   • Xeomin: Primarily approved for frown lines but is often used off-label for other areas.
   • Jeuveau: FDA-approved for frown lines, with increasing off-label use for other facial wrinkles.
   • Daxxify: Currently approved for frown lines, but its extended duration makes it appealing for a variety of uses.

Which Injectable is Right for You?

Choosing the best neuromodulator depends on your unique aesthetic goals, budget, and treatment preferences. Here’s a brief guide to help you decide:

• For long-lasting results: Daxxify is the top choice if you prefer fewer appointments and want results that last up to 9 months.
• For a pure, additive-free option: Xeomin is ideal if you’re concerned about developing resistance or want a more natural formulation.
• For a quick-acting treatment: Jeuveau may be your best bet if you’re looking for faster results, especially for frown lines.
• For tried-and-true effectiveness: Botox remains a highly trusted option with decades of use and FDA approval across a wide range of areas.

Treatment Areas

Botox® Cosmetic is a popular non-surgical treatment designed to smooth and soften the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements. Common treatment areas include severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), crow’s feet around the eyes, and horizontal forehead lines. Botox® is also highly effective in treating vertical platysma bands in the neck, which can create a smoother, more youthful jawline and neckline. Quick, minimally invasive, and with little to no downtime, Botox® offers natural-looking results that help you look refreshed and rejuvenated.

 

Moderate to severe forehead lines

When you raise your eyebrows, the muscles on your forehead contract, causing skin to furrow and fold. Your specialist will inject these muscles to help make forehead lines temporarily look better.

 

 

Moderate to severe frown lines

 When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. Your specialist will inject these muscles to help make frown lines temporarily look better.

 

 

Moderate to severe crow’s feet

 When you squint or smile, the muscles around your eyes contract, causing crow’s feet. Your specialist will inject these muscles to help make crow’s feet temporarily look better.

 

Moderate to severe vertical bands connecting the neck and jaw

 Vertical bands connecting the neck and jaw, also called platysma bands, are formed by the platysma muscle which is a thin muscle that covers the neck and extends over the lower face. When this muscle is contracted, it can cause the appearance of bands on the neck, which can also impact jawline definition. Your specialist will inject these bands and along the jawline to temporarily improve the appearance of vertical bands connecting the neck and jaw.

Hole Tox: Anal Botox for Enhanced Comfort, Health, and Enjoyment

At Aesthetics and Medical Lasers of Colorado, we offer Hole Tox, a specialized Anal Botox treatment designed to enhance comfort, alleviate chronic pain, and support overall anal health. This minimally invasive procedure helps relax the anal sphincter muscles, offering relief for individuals experiencing persistent fissures, muscle spasms, or discomfort during bowel movements. Additionally, Hole Tox can aid in easier dilation for individuals seeking a more comfortable experience with penetrative anal intercourse, resulting in a more enjoyable sexual experience.

How Hole Tox Works

Botox (Botulinum Toxin) functions by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions.

Each treatment is customized based on patient assessment to ensure optimal results.

• Expected Results: Patients report significant pain relief and faster healing, often avoiding the need for surgical intervention.

2. Reduced Muscle Spasms and Chronic Pain

• How It Works: Persistent muscle spasms in the anal region can contribute to chronic pain and discomfort. Botox injections relax these muscles, offering long-term relief.
• Expected Results: Many patients experience a notable improvement in daily comfort and quality of life.

4. Improved Comfort and Enjoyment During Penetrative Sex

• How It Works: For individuals engaging in penetrative anal sex, the relaxation of the anal sphincter can make the experience more comfortable and enjoyable. Botox helps ease muscle tension, making dilation easier and reducing discomfort during intercourse.
• Expected Results: Many patients report a more enjoyable and comfortable experience, improving sexual satisfaction and overall intimacy.

5. Minimally Invasive, Non-Surgical Treatment

• How It Works: Unlike traditional surgical options, Hole Tox is administered through targeted injections, making it a simple and effective solution for various anal health concerns.
• Expected Results: The procedure is low-risk, with a short recovery time and minimal downtime.

6. Quick and Convenient Procedure
