Neurotoxin Injections
BOTOX® Cosmetic
Neurotoxins are a cutting-edge non-surgical solution that can redefine your appearance by targeting and temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for wrinkles. Discover the beauty of age-defying results with the precision of Rosenberg Plastic Surgery.
Botox is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that harnesses the power of botulinum toxin to temporarily relax muscles responsible for facial expressions. Dr. David Rosenberg and our team of expert injector practitioners utilize neurotoxins such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and DAXXIFY® to target dynamic wrinkles, such as crow's feet and forehead lines, providing patients with a smoother and more youthful look.
The Procedure
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. David Rosenberg or one of our expert injector practitioners. During this session, they assess your facial expressions, discusses your aesthetic goals, and customize a plan tailored to your unique needs.
The chosen neurotoxin is injected into targeted muscles using fine needles. Dr. Rosenberg's precision ensures natural-looking results that maintain facial expressiveness while reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Following the procedure, minimal post-treatment care is required. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and rubbing the treated area for a short period.

Botox vs. daxxify
Daxxify and Botox, two powerful treatments offering remarkable results in wrinkle reduction. Similar in their mechanism and outcomes, both Daxxify and Botox are neuromodulators designed to relax targeted muscles, thus minimizing wrinkles caused by muscle contractions. They effectively combat even the most pronounced signs of aging.
Key Distinctions:
Duration of Results:
Daxxify stands out for its longer-lasting effects, typically lasting 2-3 times longer than Botox and other neurotoxins. With Daxxify, patients can enjoy wrinkle-free skin for 6-9 months compared to Botox's 3-4 months. This prolonged effect is attributed to Daxxify's unique formulation, which includes a protein enhancing the toxin's duration. Botox lacks this protein component.
Targeted Wrinkles:
While Botox is FDA-approved for treating various lines and wrinkles, including frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet, Daxxify is currently approved solely for glabellar lines treatment.
Formulation and Dosage:
Daxxify and Botox possess distinct formulations and are individual medications within the neuromodulator category. Despite both achieving muscle relaxation by blocking nerve signals, their doses and formulations differ significantly. For instance, the minimum dose for glabellar lines is 20 units for Botox and 40 units for Daxxify.
Length of Time on Market:
Daxxify, approved by the FDA in 2022, is a recent addition to the market. In contrast, Botox has been approved since 2002 and has established itself as a staple in wrinkle reduction treatments worldwide. Despite its recent introduction, Daxxify's longer-lasting results have propelled its acceptance in the market.
Cost Consideration:
While Daxxify tends to have a higher per-unit cost than Botox, its longer duration results in fewer required treatments per year. Consequently, Daxxify may ultimately be a more cost-effective option, as patients need fewer maintenance sessions.
Both Botox and Daxxify offer exceptional non-surgical solutions for wrinkle reduction, boasting safety and efficacy. While Daxxify provides longer-lasting results, Botox offers versatility in addressing various types of wrinkles.
