An honest comparison
Botox vs Dysport vs Daxxify
Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify are all botulinum toxin type A neuromodulators. They work the same way, relaxing the small muscles whose repeated movement creases the skin, and they are all FDA approved. The differences that actually matter to you are onset, spread, longevity, and how each behaves in an experienced injector's hands.
At RejuvLV we carry more than one relaxer for a reason. The right product depends on your anatomy, the area being treated, how your skin has responded before, and how long you want results to last. Here is how they compare, honestly.

| BotoxThe most studied neuromodulator in the world and the standard everything else is measured against. | DysportDiffuses a little more than Botox, which is an advantage in the right areas and hands. | DaxxifyThe newest of the three, stabilized with a peptide instead of human serum albumin, and built for longevity. | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active ingredient | OnabotulinumtoxinA (Allergan) | AbobotulinumtoxinA (Galderma) | DaxibotulinumtoxinA (Revance) |
| Typical onset | 3 to 7 days, full effect around 2 weeks | Often 2 to 3 days, slightly faster for many guests | Usually within 2 to 3 days |
| How long it lasts | About 3 to 4 months | About 3 to 4 months | Median around 6 months in clinical trials |
| Character | Precise and predictable, stays where it is placed | Softer spread, natural movement across broader areas | Long-wearing, fewer maintenance visits per year |
| Often chosen for | Detailed work: crow's feet, brow shaping, lip flips, first-time treatments | Larger zones like the forehead and glabella, guests who want a quick onset | Guests who metabolize relaxers quickly or want two visits a year instead of four |
How we decide at RejuvLV
Precision over preference.
Maria is an Allergan Master Injector and Galderma certified, and she has treated the same faces across all three products. In practice the injector matters more than the brand: dosing, placement, and respecting your natural expression decide the result.
Her general approach: precision areas often favor Botox, broad areas with a fast timeline often favor Dysport, and guests who want fewer visits or burn through product quickly are the best candidates for Daxxify. If a product is not serving you, we say so and switch, that is the point of carrying more than one.
Questions
Frequently asked
No product is stronger, they are dosed differently. Dysport units are not equivalent to Botox units (roughly 2.5 to 3 Dysport units approximate 1 Botox unit), so a higher unit count does not mean a heavier treatment. What changes the outcome is dosing and placement for your anatomy.
