Understanding Your Neuromodulator Options:
Jeuveau®, Xeomin®, Daxxify®, & Dysport®
Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that temporarily ease wrinkles (rhytids), commonly found on the forehead, brow, and around the eyes (crow’s feet). While Botox® is well-known, Youthful Obsession offers a selection of effective alternatives, including Jeuveau®, Xeomin®, Daxxify®, and Dysport®.
These FDA-approved options share a similar mechanism of action, temporarily relaxing facial muscles to smooth lines. However, subtle differences in their formulation and potency can lead to varied results and patient preferences.
For individuals who haven't responded optimally to one neuromodulator, another within this range may provide excellent, natural-looking rejuvenation.

Preparing for Your Botox® Alternative Treatment
You are generally a good candidate for Jeuveau®, Xeomin®, Daxxify®, or Dysport® if you are in good overall health.
However, these treatments are not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals. A history of allergic reactions to botulinum toxin type A products is also a contraindication. Certain autoimmune diseases, Myasthenia Gravis, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and Lambert-Eaton Syndrome are also contraindications. The injection site must be free of infection. We recommend a consultation to ensure you are a suitable candidate and to determine the best product for your needs.
To minimize potential bruising or bleeding, please avoid the following for three days before your appointment:
- Over-the-counter medications like aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), and naproxen (Aleve).
- Herbal supplements such as garlic, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, St. John's Wort, and omega-3 capsules.
**Important**
If you are taking prescribed aspirin or anti-coagulants, please consult with your primary care physician before stopping their use.
Your Alternative Treatment Experience
What to Expect
During your appointment, our certified aesthetic practitioners will discuss your goals and recommend the most suitable neuromodulator (Jeuveau®, Xeomin®, Daxxify®, or Dysport®) to achieve your desired outcome. We will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Your comfort and confidence are our priorities, so please feel free to ask any questions you may have.
The Procedure
Receiving Botox alternative injections is typically quick and convenient, taking just 15-30 minutes with minimal discomfort. If you have concerns about discomfort, please let us know. These treatments require little to no downtime, allowing you to return to your day immediately after.
Recovery
For the first 24 hours after your injections, please avoid vigorous exercise, alcohol consumption, and excessive heat or sunlight until you understand how the medication affects you. Incorporating a daily SPF 30+ sunscreen into your routine is highly recommended to protect your skin.
When Will I See Results?
Many clients notice initial results from their neuromodulator injections within 2-5 days. The full effects typically become visible within 7-14 days, although Daxxify® may show results slightly sooner for some individuals.
Expect natural-looking results that typically last 3-5 months, with Daxxify® potentially offering longer-lasting results for some patients. We're confident you'll enjoy your refreshed appearance!
Aftercare for Your Botox® Alternative Treatment
Following these aftercare instructions will help optimize your results and minimize potential side effects:
