Cosmetic treatments are constantly evolving to better help women and men achieve their aesthetic goals. However, just because something is new doesn’t necessarily mean that it is better than its predecessor.
One of the latest innovations is DAXXIFY®, the newest neuromodulator on the market. This is being touted by some to be an improvement on BOTOX Cosmetic.
But is it really better than the leading neuromodulator treatment? We’ll explore this question below.
What Are BOTOX Cosmetic and DAXXIFY®?
BOTOX Cosmetic and DAXXIFY® are injectable neuromodulators (neurotoxins). These treatments work to correct dynamic wrinkles and lines on various areas of the face.

Last year’s usual assortment of holiday fun was somber at best. Gone were all the office parties and much of the usual socializing that is the best part of the holiday season. But now that we’re finally putting this virus behind us, this year we’re all ready for every invitation we can get. We’re even excited to see the in-laws!
Since you’ve been out of sight for a while, maybe this year you should show up without the usual accompanying crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles. That could seem as if we’re talking about some sort of magical feat. After […]
Most people assume that all wrinkles are created equal. You’ve seen one wrinkle, you’ve seen them all, right? Nope. There are actually two types of wrinkles: static wrinkles and dynamic wrinkles. Since we treat both of these wrinkle types with dermal fillers and neuromodulators, respectively, at Bryn Mawr Facial Aesthetics, let’s get into the difference.
Static vs. dynamic
Static wrinkles hang around all the time. That’s because they are caused by damage to the skin and by declining collagen production levels as we age. Static wrinkles are to be found on the mid to lower face: beneath the eyes and all around […]

Current jargon asks this question — “Is that a thing?” — about certain trendy stuff. You could ask if Botox is a “thing” and the answer would be a monstrous YES! After all, ever since the FDA approved Botox for the treatment of facial wrinkles on the upper third of the face in 2002, the injectable has gone crazy! Every year it is far and away the most popular cosmetic procedure, surgical or non-surgical, in the world. It’s not even close. And Dr. Lee is a Top 100 Botox injector, meaning he is in the top 1% in the nation, […]
At Bryn Mawr Facial Aesthetics Center, we often have patients lump Botox and Dysport in with dermal fillers such as Juvéderm and Restylane. All they have in common is that they are injectable.
Dr. Lee uses a number of different Juvéderm and Restylane fillers to return volume to sunken areas and to erase wrinkles. Here’s why all injectables aren’t the same.
What’s the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?
Botox and Dysport (Dr. Lee uses both of these) are classified as neuromodulators. They are both made basically from the botulinum toxin type A, the same bacteria that cause botulism. Back in the early […]
A full face lift surgery can deliver dramatic and effective results. There are alternative less invasive options for people who do not want the “pulled” or unnatural appearance that is sometimes associated with a face lift. With Botox, you can put off the need for a face lift while still experiencing a refreshed and more smooth appearance. Botox treatments can decrease facial creases and fine wrinkles while creating a softer and more refined look. Dr. Lee knows that the best approach to enhance your look is the most natural one. Consider the following questions to see if Botox is right […]
Every year, millions of Americans get Botox to treat wrinkles and give their appearance a smoother and more finished look. If you are considering pursuing Botox, here are some things to consider:
Can Botox fix any wrinkle? No. Wrinkles and creases that have formed due to sun damage or gravity do not respond to Botox. Botox is particularly useful on creases and wrinkles that have not yet become permanent. For instance, the deep crease that forms on your forehead when you are concentrating is considered to be a dynamic wrinkle, because it only appears when your face is moving.
Can anyone get […]
For many years, Botox has been used to improve the cosmetic appearance of lines and wrinkles with impressive results. However, misconceptions about the procedure are still prevalent. If you’re thinking about Botox but are unsure of what is true or not, read on for the facts (and fiction) surrounding the procedure.
What you need to know about Botox:
Myth: Botox injections are painful
FACT: For most people, the only discomfort they feel is a slight pinch during the injection, which is done using a very fine needle to inject a small amount of liquid. Some treatments require more injections than others to get […]
Dark circles, bags, and heavy eyelids can often make someone appear sad, tired and years beyond their age. People are often more receptive to fresh, young and energetic appearances, and possessing these qualities is often associated with positive self-image, self-esteem, and success in the workplace and interpersonal relationships. The sad, tired look can start for some as early as their 20s, but becomes progressively noticeable as we age into our middle-age years and beyond. There are many cosmetic options that range from injectables, to minimally invasive out-patient surgery that can serve as a shot of espresso for your tired appearance.
