Botox vs. Dysport vs. Daxxify: What Is the Difference?

Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify are all neuromodulators. Each relaxes muscles to soften wrinkles, but they differ in formulation, onset, and duration.

To compare:

Botox: Results usually start showing in about 3 to 7 days, with full results settling in around two weeks. Results typically last 3 to 4 months. Botox has the longest track record of the three and is FDA-approved for use in multiple areas of the face and body.
Dysport: Results often appear in about 3 to 5 days, slightly sooner than Botox. Its thinner consistency lets it spread more easily, which suits larger areas like the forehead. Duration is similar to Botox, at about 3-4 months.
Daxxify: Onset is about one to two days, and the average duration is around 24 weeks, or roughly six months. In clinical trials, results lasted up to 6 months for just over half of patients, and up to 9 months for some. Full results appear after about 10 to 14 days.

Individual results vary with the treatment area, dose, and muscle strength. Dr. Wingate recommends the product that fits your anatomy, goals, and schedule.

A new, long-lasting option with results lasting up to six months, Daxxify uses a peptide to stabilize the toxin for fewer touch-ups.

Is Botox safe?

An experienced injector reduces these risks through precise placement.
