In the world of injectables, not all wrinkle relaxers are created equal — but they share one goal: to help you look refreshed, confident, and naturally yourself. At Aster Aesthetics, we believe that understanding your options is the first step toward feeling empowered in your aesthetic journey.

If you’ve ever wondered how Botox®, Dysport®, and Daxxify® compare, this guide breaks it down clearly and simply, from a clinician’s perspective.

The Basics: How Wrinkle Relaxers Work

All three of these treatments — Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify — are neuromodulators, meaning they work by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles.

By softening repetitive muscle movement (such as frowning or squinting), they smooth dynamic wrinkles and help prevent new ones from forming. The result is a calm, well-rested appearance that still allows for natural expression.

Botox®: The Gold Standard

Botox® has been the most recognized name in aesthetics for over two decades, and for good reason. It’s a trusted treatment with consistent, predictable results and an excellent safety record.

• Onset: Typically 5–7 days
• Duration: Around 3–4 months
• Best for: Fine lines, frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet
• What patients love: Reliable, refined smoothing with a natural finish

At Aster Aesthetics, Botox remains a favorite for those who appreciate classic, consistent results and subtle, balanced movement.

Dysport®: The Refined, Fast-Acting Option

Dysport® functions very similarly to Botox but has a slightly different protein structure and diffusion profile. This allows it to spread more easily within the muscle, making it ideal for treating larger areas like the forehead or achieving a softer blend between treated and untreated zones.

• Onset: Often as fast as 2–3 days
• Duration: Around 3–4 months
• Best for: Forehead, glabella, and patients who want a quicker onset
• What patients love: Smooth, even results that settle in quickly

Dysport can be thought of as the more fluid and fast-acting version of Botox — equally elegant, but with a quicker reveal.

Daxxify®: The Next Generation of Neuromodulators

Daxxify® is the newest innovation in the neuromodulator family — and it stands apart. Developed by Revance Aesthetics, Daxxify uses a unique peptide-powered formula that stabilizes the botulinum toxin without the need for human serum albumin (the carrier protein found in Botox and Dysport).

This technology helps the product bind more effectively and last significantly longer.

• Onset: 1–3 days
• Duration: Four to six months on average (some patients up to nine)
• Best for: Patients who prefer fewer appointments per year or want long-lasting smoothness
• What patients love: A refreshed, glowing look that lasts well beyond a season

Daxxify is ideal for patients who value efficiency — fewer touch-ups, sustained results, and subtle radiance that endures.

Choosing What’s Right for You

While all three treatments smooth wrinkles beautifully, the best choice depends on your:

• Lifestyle: Do you prefer fewer visits per year?
• Treatment goals: Are you seeking ultra-natural movement, quicker onset, or longevity?
• Anatomy and muscle strength: Each product diffuses differently, and we tailor dosing to your unique facial structure.

At Aster Aesthetics, every treatment plan is personalized. Whether maintaining your favorite “Botox glow,” exploring Dysport for faster results, or trying Daxxify for its long-lasting benefits, our goal remains the same:

Natural, balanced, and subtle results — never overdone.

The Aster Approach

During your consultation, we’ll discuss:

• How often you’d like to maintain treatments
• The look and feel you want to achieve
• Which product best aligns with your goals, budget, and schedule

Our philosophy is simple: injectables should look like you — only softer, smoother, and more confident.
