Botox, Dysport & Daxxify Wrinkle Treatment

Botulinum toxin injections using Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, and Daxxify to smooth forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, crow's feet, and neck bands. Microbotox technique also available for skin pore refinement and overall complexion quality. Results typically last three to four months with Botox and Dysport; Daxxify is associated with a longer six-month duration. All injections performed by Harvard-trained dermatologists.

SkinCare Physicians offers botulinum toxin injections using three commercially available products — Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA by AbbVie), Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA by Galderma), and Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm by Revance) — administered by the clinic's Harvard Medical School faculty dermatologists. Botulinum toxin acts by blocking acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, preventing the targeted muscle from contracting; as the muscle relaxes, the overlying skin smooths and the wrinkle diminishes. Common facial treatment areas include the horizontal forehead lines (frontalis muscle), vertical glabellar frown lines between the brows (corrugator supercilii and procerus), lateral crow's feet at the eye corners (orbicularis oculi), brow lift using the depressor supercilii and corrugator, and platysmal neck bands. The clinic also offers Microbotox — a technique of diluted, superficially injected botulinum toxin using numerous small doses across the skin surface to reduce oil gland activity, minimize pore size, and improve overall skin texture and tone. Daxxify is a newer formulation that uses a peptide excipient instead of human serum albumin, which is associated with a longer duration of action — approximately six months compared to three to four months with conventional Botox and Dysport — making it a compelling option for patients who find repeat visits every three months inconvenient. The choice of product and dosing strategy is determined by the treating dermatologist at consultation based on the patient's muscle activity, treatment history, and aesthetic goals. Mild bruising and temporary headache are the most common post-treatment findings, typically resolving within forty-eight hours.
