What Is Botox?

Botox® Cosmetic is the most widely recognized brand of neuromodulator injections and has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use since 2002. Derived from a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, Botox works by temporarily blocking the communication between nerves and targeted muscles, preventing repetitive contractions that lead to fine lines and wrinkles. This process of neuromodulation allows the overlying skin to smooth out, reducing the appearance of creases and helping patients look more rested.

Botox is most commonly used to soften forehead lines, crow’s feet around the eyes, and frown lines between the brows (also called glabellar lines or elevens). Patients often choose Botox because it is a trusted, proven treatment with a long history of safety and effectiveness. When injected by skilled providers, Botox delivers natural-looking improvements that refresh your appearance without altering your ability to show normal facial expressions.

In addition to its aesthetic benefits, Botox is also used in medical dermatology to address conditions such as chronic migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and muscle spasms. At Marmur Medical, our primary focus with Botox is cosmetic enhancement, helping patients restore a smoother, more youthful look while preserving facial harmony. Results typically appear within three to five days and last three to four months. With consistent treatments, many patients find their lines soften further over time, requiring fewer units for maintenance.

What Is Dysport?

Dysport® is another popular neuromodulator injection that works in a manner similar to Botox but offers its own unique characteristics. Like Botox, Dysport is derived from botulinum toxin type A and is designed to reduce dynamic wrinkles by interrupting the nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions. The smoothing effect of neuromodulators allows the skin above the treated muscles to relax, visibly reducing lines and creases.

One of the key advantages of Dysport is its ability to spread slightly farther from the injection site, which makes it particularly effective for treating larger areas such as horizontal forehead lines. Many patients also find that Dysport results become visible a bit faster than Botox, sometimes within 24 to 48 hours. This makes it a great choice for individuals seeking quick improvements before an event or special occasion.

At Marmur Medical, Dysport is frequently recommended for patients who want a softer, more refreshed appearance in the brow and forehead region. It can also be used to treat frown lines between the eyebrows, which often contribute to a tired or stressed expression. Results from Dysport typically last three to four months, and many patients alternate between Botox and Dysport over time, depending on their personal goals and how their body responds to each product.

What Is Xeomin?

Xeomin® is a unique neuromodulator that stands apart from Botox and Dysport because it contains no accessory proteins, just the active botulinum toxin type A. This purified formulation has earned Xeomin the nickname of a “naked” injectable, meaning patients are less likely to develop resistance or antibodies that might reduce effectiveness over repeated treatments.

Xeomin is FDA-approved for treating frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), making it an excellent option for patients who specifically want to target this area. It works by using the same principle of neuromodulation, blocking nerve signals to prevent the repetitive contractions that cause deep creases over time. The purified formula makes Xeomin especially appealing to patients seeking a simple, straightforward product with consistent results.

At Marmur Medical, Xeomin is often recommended for patients who have previously used other neuromodulators and want to explore an alternative. It is also a great choice for first-time patients who want to reduce their frown lines while maintaining a natural, approachable expression. Results from Xeomin usually become visible within three to four days and results last approximately three months, with many patients incorporating it into a regular skin rejuvenation routine.

What Is Daxxify?

Daxxify® is one of the newest neuromodulators available in the United States, offering patients longer-lasting results compared to Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. FDA-approved in 2022 for the treatment of frown lines, Daxxify utilizes an innovative peptide exchange technology that enables the active ingredient to remain at the injection site for a prolonged duration. This extended activity means that results can last six months or more for many patients.

Like other neuromodulator injections, Daxxify works by blocking the communication between nerves and targeted facial muscles, preventing repetitive movements that deepen wrinkles over time. By reducing these contractions, Daxxify allows the skin to relax, softening moderate to severe frown lines and creating a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Daxxify is especially appealing to patients who want fewer treatment sessions throughout the year, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. At Marmur Medical, our team carefully evaluates whether Daxxify is the right choice for your needs, balancing your goals with the unique characteristics of this advanced product. While its main approval is for frown lines, ongoing studies suggest Daxxify may soon be used for a broader range of aesthetic and therapeutic applications.

What Are the Benefits of Neuromodulators?

The primary benefit of neurotoxin injections is the temporary reduction of facial wrinkles and lines without surgery. However, there are many additional advantages:

  • Entirely non-surgical treatment
  • Convenient, in-office procedure
  • Minimal discomfort during injections
  • No downtime required
  • Subtle, natural-looking improvements
  • Effects that last several months
  • Safe to repeat for ongoing maintenance

By choosing Marmur Medical, you benefit from a team known for precision, artistry, and safety. Whether your goal is to smooth crow’s feet, refresh your brow, or reduce the appearance of frown lines with frown line filler alternatives, we can create a treatment plan tailored just for you.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Neurotoxins?

Good candidates for Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Daxxify are generally healthy adults who want to improve dynamic facial wrinkles caused by repetitive expressions. You may be an excellent candidate if you:

  • Want to reduce forehead lines, crow’s feet, or glabellar creases
  • Are interested in smoothing frown lines filler concerns without surgery
  • Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Do not have neuromuscular conditions that could interfere with treatment
  • Can avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements prior to injections

At Marmur Medical, we also welcome first-time patients.

Your Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, & Daxxify Consultation at Marmur Medical

Here at Marmur Medical, we are committed to focusing 100% of our attention and resources on your concerns and goals. We begin by discussing your concerns, evaluating your facial anatomy, and explaining how each neuromodulator option works. Together, we create a plan that ensures natural results.

What to Expect Before, During, and After a Treatment

Before

Avoid unnecessary blood thinners such as fish oil, vitamin E, or alcohol for 3–6 days before treatment. Continue taking medically required prescriptions but discuss any concerns with our team. Bruising is possible but temporary, and safety always comes first.

During

Each injection session is quick and comfortable. Our providers use advanced neurotoxin techniques to deliver precise results without creating a “frozen” look. Most treatments take less than 30 minutes, and we can always adjust your dosage at a follow-up if you’d like additional refinement.

After

You can return to work or exercise immediately but avoid lying down or pressing on the treated areas for at least four hours. Results may begin within 24–48 hours, with peak improvements visible in one to two weeks.

How Long Do Results Last?

Most neuromodulator injections provide results lasting three to four months, with Daxxify offering potential longevity of six months or more. Over time, your body naturally regenerates new nerve receptors, and muscle movement gradually returns. This means you may notice about one-third of muscle activity coming back each month, which is why consistent treatments are recommended to maintain smooth, youthful results.

After Care for Botox

After receiving Botox or other neurotoxin injections, following proper aftercare instructions is essential to maximize results and minimize side effects. In the hours immediately after treatment, it is important to remain upright and avoid lying down for at least four hours. Do not rub, massage, or apply heavy pressure to the treated areas, as this can cause the product to migrate and reduce effectiveness. Light facial movement, such as smiling or raising your eyebrows, is encouraged to help the product integrate into the targeted muscles.

During the first 24 hours, avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, hot tubs, or any activity that significantly raises your body temperature, as this can increase swelling or bruising. If mild discomfort or redness occurs, a cool compress may be applied gently but avoid applying ice directly to the skin. You may use makeup after a few hours but always handle the areas treated carefully.

In the days following your injections, you should begin to see the early effects of neuromodulation as the muscles relax and lines soften. Most patients notice visible improvements within three to five days, with results continuing to refine for up to two weeks. During this period, follow-up appointments may be scheduled to ensure your results are balanced and to make small adjustments if needed.

Over the following months, the effects of Botox will gradually fade as your body regenerates nerve receptors. Many patients schedule repeat treatments every three to four months to maintain consistent results. If you are using Daxxify, your results may last significantly longer—up to six months or more—requiring fewer maintenance visits. By following the aftercare instructions provided by Marmur Medical, you can enjoy smoother skin, reduced frown lines, and a refreshed appearance that looks natural and lasts.

NYC Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Daxxify – FAQ

The most common side effects associated with Botox injections include localized pain, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or bruising. Patients sometimes have a headache for 1-7 days, but this is rare and can be easily treated with relaxation techniques.

The cost of your Botox in New York City depends on the amount of product injected, the time it takes to perform your procedure, and other factors that are difficult to predict without an evaluation. The Marmur Medical team will provide you with a cost breakdown after meeting with you in a consultation.

Each formula has unique qualities that may make it more or less suitable depending on the patient. Choosing the right neuromodulator largely depends on the extent of your concerns, your desired outcome, and which option our experts decide is right for you.

These toxins are highly purified and highly diluted, and, in the case of botulinum toxin, millions of injections have been performed effectively and safely since its first use by Dr. Alan Scott in the 1980s for an eye condition, strabismus. Dr. Jean Carruthers, an ophthalmologist, noticed her patients’ wrinkles were reduced after the treatment of strabismus, and the medicine was approved by the FDA in 1989. Dr. Marmur has safely and successfully treated thousands of patients with Botox treatments to achieve a natural, refreshed look, sometimes through what she calls “baby Botox” — her technique to use tiny amounts in targeted facial muscles to achieve the best effect.

Whether you need Botox injections, dermal fillers (such as Juvederm, Radiesse, Restylane, Sculptra, Belotero, or Teosyl RHA, etc.), or both, depends on your issues and what you are trying to achieve with a cosmetic injectable treatment. Patients often benefit from either type, but fillers effectively treat the lower face (around the mouth and cheeks). In contrast, neuromodulators are generally used on the upper face (to treat eye and forehead wrinkles and lines) and lower face (lip, chin, neck, jawline). The Marmur Medical team is internationally recognized for their skills and are committed to finding the best treatment to achieve a look that is beautiful, natural, and never overdone. Fillers and neuromodulators can also be combined into a non-surgical facelift. The Marmur Medical team is internationally recognized for their skills and are committed to finding the best treatment to achieve a look that is beautiful, natural, and never overdone.

Botox injections have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of several medical conditions. Some of the common medical applications of Botox include treating migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms.

Botox is often used to treat chronic migraines, which are typically associated with regular headaches. It works by blocking signals that cause muscles to contract, thus reducing the frequency and intensity of migraines.

Excessive sweating, a condition known as hyperhidrosis, can also be effectively treated with Botox. It works by blocking sweat gland activity in the treated area, reducing the amount of sweat produced.

Botox is also useful in treating muscle spasms, such as those associated with cervical dystonia and blepharospasm. It helps relieve muscle tension and can improve mobility and function in affected areas.

How long is recovery from neuromodulator procedures?

Typically, Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Daxxify treatments require minimal to no downtime. Patients can resume most normal activities immediately after treatment. However, there are a few activities our injectors recommend avoiding or postponing after treatment, including:

  • Lying down supine for four to six hours
  • Massaging or excessively touching the treated area for six to 12 hours
  • Applying makeup for six to 12 hours
  • Heat exposure for 24 hours
  • Exercise or other strenuous activities that might cause flushing or sweating for 24 hours

The number of Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Daxxify units necessary to achieve your aesthetic goals depends on several factors. Factors include: the product used, the quality of your skin, the treatment areas, and your body’s metabolism of the product used. During your consultation, our expert injectors will estimate the number of units to accomplish your goals.

It’s important to avoid strenuous activities like exercising, or other activities that might make you perspire, for at least 24 hours. Sweat and heat may irritate the skin and affect your neuromodulator placement.

Typically, Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Daxxify treatments are quick, lasting 15 to 30 minutes, and cause minimal discomfort. This discomfort is well-tolerated with most patients describing it as a pinch-like sensation. Some patients who have a phobia of needles or are extremely sensitive may benefit from the use of a facial vibrating device or ice during treatment. It’s important to discuss your specific pain concerns during your consultation with our injection specialists.

Following a neuromodulator procedure, patients may experience discomfort at the injection site. Ice packs may help to alleviate discomfort. Discomfort typically resolves quickly.

Typically, neuromodulators, such as Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, offer results that last three to five months. Daxxify offers results that may last twice as long—up to six to nine months. As such, Daxxify may be more appropriate for those who have previously tried other neuromodulators and enjoyed their outcome. It’s important to establish a trusted relationship with your injector to ensure you won’t have results that you are not happy with.

A Botox Lip Flip is a trendy non-surgical lip enhancement treatment that helps your lips look plumper and more defined. The Lip Flip is achieved by injecting Botox, or another neuromodulator, in strategic areas above the upper lip and the corners of the mouth. Without adding volume, the Lip Flip relaxes the lip muscles, which allows them to curl outward, creating a fuller appearance.

Most patients begin to notice visible improvements to their appearance within three to five days of their Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Daxxify treatment. Over the next month, results will continually improve, refreshing and smoothing the appearance of the skin.
