What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that temporarily reduce the muscle activity responsible for dynamic wrinkles—the lines that develop from repeated facial expressions such as smiling, squinting, or frowning.
BOTOX® Cosmetic, Xeomin®, and DAXXIFY® are all formulated with botulinum toxin type A, but each has a different formulation and treatment profile. When precisely administered, neuromodulators can soften existing expression lines and help prevent them from becoming more deeply etched into the skin.
What Are the Options?
Common treatment areas may include:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Crow’s feet
- Brow area
- Bunny lines along the nose
- Chin dimpling
- Downturned corners of the mouth
- Vertical neck bands
The appropriate product and treatment areas will depend on your individual needs, facial anatomy, and the approved uses of each injectable.
What Neuromodulator Options Are Available?
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the most established and widely recognized neuromodulators available. It is FDA-approved to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, and certain vertical neck bands in adults.
BOTOX® Cosmetic may be a good choice for patients who prefer a familiar treatment with an extensive clinical history. A typical appointment can be completed in approximately 15–30 minutes with little to no downtime.
Xeomin®
Xeomin® is sometimes called a “naked” neuromodulator because it contains the active botulinum toxin type A without unnecessary accessory proteins. Its purified formulation makes it an appealing option for patients who prefer a product with fewer added components.
Xeomin® is FDA-approved to temporarily improve moderate to severe upper facial lines in adults, including frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. Like BOTOX® Cosmetic, it is administered through a series of precise injections customized to your facial movement and desired outcome.
DAXXIFY®
DAXXIFY® is a peptide-formulated neuromodulator designed to temporarily improve moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Unlike other neuromodulators, DAXXIFY® uses a proprietary peptide as its stabilizer and does not contain human serum albumin.
DAXXIFY® may begin working as early as the first day, with results typically becoming noticeable within two days. In clinical studies, more than half of patients continued to have no or only minor frown lines at six months. Individual experiences vary, but its potential longevity can make DAXXIFY® an attractive option for patients who prefer fewer treatment appointments throughout the year.
BOTOX® vs. Xeomin® vs. DAXXIFY®: What Is the Difference?
All three treatments use botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax wrinkle-causing muscles. The primary differences involve their formulations, FDA-approved cosmetic treatment areas, clinical history, and potential duration.
| Treatment | What Makes It Different | FDA-Approved Cosmetic Areas | Typical Duration* |
|---|---|---|---|
| BOTOX® Cosmetic | A well-established formulation with an extensive clinical history | Frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, and certain vertical neck bands | Approximately 3–4 months |
| Xeomin® | A purified formulation without accessory proteins | Frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet | Commonly around 3–4 months |
| DAXXIFY® | Uses a proprietary peptide stabilizer and is designed for potentially longer-lasting correction | Frown lines between the eyebrows | Results may last approximately 6 months for some patients |
Neuromodulator units are not interchangeable between brands. Choosing the right product is not simply a matter of selecting the one that lasts the longest. During your consultation, the sAge team will evaluate how your facial muscles move, which areas you would like to soften, and whether you prefer a more established, purified, or potentially longer-lasting formulation.
What Results Can I Expect?
Neuromodulator treatments are intended to soften dynamic wrinkles without changing the features that make you uniquely you. Your results will develop gradually as the targeted muscles begin to relax.
- BOTOX® Cosmetic: Results may begin appearing within one to two days, with improvement continuing to develop afterward. Results for frown lines commonly last approximately three to four months.
- Xeomin®: The initial effect typically appears within several days. Results commonly last around three to four months, although individual experiences vary.
- DAXXIFY®: Results may begin as early as the first day and are typically noticeable within two days. More than half of clinical-study patients had no or minor frown lines at six months.
You may experience temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising near the injection sites. Your provider will discuss what to expect and give you personalized aftercare instructions.
Which Neuromodulator Is Right for Me?
The best neuromodulator depends on your facial anatomy, areas of concern, prior experience with injectable treatments, and how long you would like your results to last.
BOTOX® Cosmetic may appeal to someone who wants a familiar, extensively studied option. Xeomin® may be preferred by patients interested in a purified formulation without accessory proteins. DAXXIFY® may be worth considering when treating frown lines and potentially longer-lasting results are a priority.
You do not need to decide on a product before your visit. Our sAge team will listen to your goals, assess your facial movement, and recommend an approach intended to keep you looking rested, radiant, and naturally refreshed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is DAXXIFY® the same as BOTOX®?
No. Both are injectable neuromodulators made with botulinum toxin type A, but their formulations differ. DAXXIFY® uses a proprietary peptide stabilizer and may provide longer-lasting improvement in frown lines for some patients.
Do neuromodulator injections hurt?
Most patients describe the injections as a series of brief pinches. Treatment is generally well tolerated and typically takes less than 30 minutes.
Is there downtime after BOTOX®, Xeomin®, or DAXXIFY®?
There is usually little to no downtime. Most patients can return to their normal routines after treatment, although temporary redness, swelling, or bruising may occur.
Will my face look frozen?
Our goal is a refreshed, natural-looking result—not a frozen appearance. Your treatment is personalized according to your anatomy and the amount of movement you would like to preserve.
