Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins, such as Botox® and Jeuveau, are injectable treatments that aim to reduce muscle tone and activity in the face. By discouraging the excessive use of certain muscles when making facial expressions, patients will quickly notice that the skin around their injection site is taut and smooth, with their wrinkles either softening in appearance or disappearing entirely. Our experienced medical aestheticians are trained to painlessly apply these neuromodulators to the forehead or eyebrow region, where wrinkles and fine lines are most common. Results should appear within a week. If interested, contact North Florida Plastic Surgery Center today to see if a wrinkle relaxing treatment would work for you!
Botox®
Botox is one of the most popular wrinkle relaxing treatments. Known worldwide for its age-defying effects, Botox is an FDA-approved method to quickly and non-surgically subtract years from your current age. During your appointment, our medical aestheticians will inject Botox into the facial muscles. This neuromodulator then blocks the signals from the brain that regulate muscle contraction during acts of smiling, frowning, or laughing. Rather than cause muscles to contract during facial expressions, Botox® relaxes the facial muscles, creating a wrinkle-free and refreshed look.
Jeuveau
Jeuveau, also referred to as ‘Newtox,’ is a botulinum toxin type A injection for promoting softened facial expressions and preventing the future formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Jeuveau is a fairly new form of wrinkle relaxing treatment. As such, it is currently only FDA-approved to treat frown lines. Eliminate your unwanted frown lines and wrinkles today – call North Florida Plastic Surgery Center to make an appointment for Jeuveau injection.
Daxxify®
Forehead fine lines and wrinkles, often referred to as frown lines, can give the appearance of stress, fatigue, or premature aging. To smooth these lines, we offer Daxxify®, the only long-lasting, peptide-powered injectable FDA-approved to improve the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines in adults. Daxxify delivers natural-looking, beautiful results that can last between three to four months. The treatment is quick, minimally painful, and provides consistent, reliable outcomes.
Which Treatment Is Right For You?
Botox, Jeuveau, and Daxxify treatments have comparable effects on fine lines and wrinkles, and are recommended to our patients interchangeably depending on their preferences, budget, and timeline.
Botox®: The Traditional Treatment
Botox is well-suited for patients who are risk-averse, want to treat larger areas of their face, and don’t mind regular injections. It has been FDA approved for over 20 years, making it the most widely studied and reliable neurotoxin injectable on the market.

Jeuveau: A Modern, Budget-Friendly Alternative
Both Jeuveau and Botox use Botulinum toxin type A to relax facial muscles and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Jeuveau, however, requires a more precise application than traditional Botox does, making it ideal for more sensitive areas of the face, such as between the eyebrows and around the eyes. Jeuveau’s specialized application, combined with its unique affordability, makes it a popular alternative for patients who would otherwise use Botox to mask smile lines around their eyes.
Daxxify®: A Peptide-Powered, Fast-Acting Solution
Daxxify expands on the capabilities of traditional Botox and Jeuveau by using peptides to increase the effectiveness and longevity of the wrinkle-reducing treatment. Peptides bind more effectively to the nerve cells in your face than traditional neurotoxins can, resulting in more rapid and enduring results than traditional treatment options can produce. This makes Daxxify a solid choice for patients who want longer-lasting results with fewer treatment sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Neurotoxins Dangerous?
Neurotoxins are harmless when administered in small and controlled doses by a trained medical professional. In fact, some neurotoxin treatments have even been shown to improve symptoms of certain chronic conditions, such as migraines, hyperhidrosis, and muscle spasms.
How Often Can I Receive Botox®, Daxxify®, or Jeuveau Treatments?
At most, Botox and Jeuveau should be administered every 3 – 4 months. Daxxify treatments only need to be repeated every 6 months for optimal results.
Will Neurotoxins Make My Face Look Frozen or Unnatural?
When administered in moderation by an experienced medical professional, neurotoxins such as Botox, Jeuveau, and Daxxify will not make your face appear unnatural, stiff, or frozen. Our specialized wrinkle-reducing treatments are designed to leave you looking youthful, natural, and rejuvenated.
Can Neurotoxins Prevent Future Wrinkles?
Neurotoxins are often used in younger patients to prevent wrinkles from forming due to repeated muscle contractions over time. If you are interested in preventative neurotoxin treatment, reach out to North Florida Plastic Surgery Center to learn more today!
