Smooth Forehead Lines, Crow’s Feet, and Frown Lines Without Surgery

Repeated facial movements, such as smiling, squinting, and frowning, can create wrinkles that remain visible even when your face is relaxed. Neurotoxin injections temporarily relax targeted muscles to soften these lines. We offer Xeomin®, Dysport®, Daxxify™, and Letybo®. Each has different characteristics, allowing your provider to recommend a treatment based on your facial anatomy, concerns, and desired results.

Reduce Expression Lines with Targeted Neurotoxin Injections

Neurotoxins temporarily block nerve signals that cause specific facial muscles to contract. This reduces the movements responsible for expression lines without affecting muscles outside the treatment area.

Our four options differ in formulation, approved treatment areas, onset, and duration.

Xeomin®

Treat forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and crow’s feet

Xeomin® is formulated without accessory proteins and helps relax the facial muscles responsible for upper-face wrinkles. It can soften lines while allowing untreated muscles to move normally.

Treatment Areas

Xeomin® is FDA-approved to improve moderate to severe forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet at the outer corners of the eyes.

Treatment Time

Injections typically take about 10–20 minutes, depending on how many areas are treated. Allow additional time for your consultation and assessment.

Benefits

Xeomin® can reduce several types of upper-face wrinkles in a single treatment plan. Its formulation contains no accessory proteins, and treatment requires no surgery or extended recovery period.

Dysport®

Fast-acting treatment for frown lines

Dysport® relaxes the muscles responsible for frown lines between your eyebrows. Some patients notice improvements within two to three days, making it an option for those who want relatively quick results.

Treatment Areas

Dysport® is FDA-approved to temporarily improve moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows.

Treatment Time

A Dysport® injection procedure generally takes 10–20 minutes. Your complete appointment may take longer if a consultation is required.

Benefits

Dysport® can soften prominent frown lines, with results appearing within days for some patients. Improvements may last up to five months, depending on your individual response.

Daxxify™

Longer-lasting frown line reduction

Daxxify™ uses a peptide-based formulation to temporarily relax the muscles that create frown lines. Its main distinction is the potential for longer-lasting results compared with some other neurotoxins.

Treatment Areas

Daxxify™ is FDA-approved for moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows.

Treatment Time

Injections typically take about 10–20 minutes, plus additional time for consultation and preparation.

Benefits

Daxxify™ may suit patients who prefer fewer maintenance visits. In clinical studies, some patients experienced improvements lasting about six months, though results vary by individual.

Letybo®

Target wrinkles between the eyebrows

Letybo® is a botulinum toxin type A injectable that reduces muscle activity between the eyebrows. It helps soften frown lines that become more noticeable with repeated facial expressions.

Treatment Areas

Letybo® is FDA-approved to temporarily improve moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows.

Treatment Time

The injection procedure typically takes around 10–20 minutes. Your provider will assess your facial movements and treatment needs beforehand.

Benefits

Letybo® offers another non-surgical option for reducing frown lines. It requires only a brief injection procedure, with no extended recovery period typically needed.

Your Neurotoxin Appointment and Recovery

Your provider will review your medical history, previous injectable treatments, and the wrinkles you’d like to address. They’ll assess your facial movements before selecting injection sites and dosage.

The procedure involves small injections into targeted muscles. Most patients can return to their normal activities afterward, although temporary swelling, redness, or bruising may occur.

How Long Does It Take for Neurotoxin Injections to Work?

Results usually begin appearing within several days, depending on the product. Dysport® may produce noticeable improvements within two to three days for some patients, while other treatments may take longer to reach their full effect.

How Often Will I Need Neurotoxin Treatments?

Most patients are treated every three to four months, and the timing depends on the product used and how you respond to treatment. Your provider will recommend a schedule that suits you.

Choosing the Right Neurotoxin for Your Wrinkles

Xeomin®, Dysport®, Daxxify™, and Letybo® all reduce muscle-related wrinkles, but their approved uses, formulations, and potential duration differ.

Your provider will consider your facial anatomy, treatment history, and preferences when recommending an option. These medications use different dosing systems, and their units aren't interchangeable.

Are Neurotoxin Injections Safe?

All four products are FDA-approved for specific cosmetic uses, but they carry potential risks. Common side effects include bruising, injection-site discomfort, swelling, and headache. Eyelid or eyebrow drooping may also occur.

Rare but serious complications include the spread of toxin effects, which can cause muscle weakness or difficulty swallowing or breathing. Your provider will review your medical history and explain these risks before treatment.
