Neurotoxins

Neurotoxins in Odenton, MD

Botox and Daxxify are injectable treatments used primarily to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Botox, a well-known brand name for a protein generated by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, temporarily paralyzes muscles, helping smooth out facial lines and wrinkles. Daxxify, similarly, uses a botulinum toxin formula but boasts a longer duration in its effects.

Botox and Daxxify are suitable for adults who wish to improve their facial features and reduce aging signs. Those interested in learning more about these treatments can contact WellnessMD in Odenton, MD, to schedule a consultation and discover how Botox and Daxxify can meet their needs.

Botox®

Often used for wrinkles, Botox® reduces the appearance of wrinkles. It works by temporarily paralyzing muscles and smoothing out lines on the face. Results from Botox® treatments generally last for about 3-4 months, after which patients may undergo additional treatments to maintain their wrinkle-free appearance.

Daxxify®

Daxxify® is a newer neurotoxin treatment that serves a similar purpose to Botox®, targeting facial wrinkles through muscle paralysis. The advantage of Daxxify® over Botox® and other similar treatments is its long-term effects. Patients who choose Daxxify® can expect their results to last significantly longer, typically between 6-9 months, reducing the frequency of treatments needed to sustain smooth skin.
