Medical Aesthetics
BOTOX and DAXXIFY treatment planned around your facial movement, muscle strength, brow position, symmetry, and desired expression.
A PLAN BUILT AROUND YOUR BIOLOGY
BOTOX and DAXXIFY both temporarily relax targeted muscles, but the right plan begins with your anatomy and movement. We evaluate muscle strength, brow position, symmetry, prior response, treatment goals, and how long you prefer the effect to last.
I explain the practical differences between available products without assuming that the newest or longest-lasting option is automatically the right choice.
A NOTE FROM ELIZABETH
I choose placement and dose by watching your face move—not by following a standard diagram. I want to soften the expression lines that bother you while protecting the features and movement that make your face look like you.

TREATMENT OPTIONS
Your options may include BOTOX or DAXXIFY for selected upper- or lower-face muscles when appropriate. Product choice, dose, and timing are discussed in the context of prior experience, desired duration, budget, and the degree of movement you want to preserve.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR TREATMENT
Neuromodulators temporarily reduce the nerve signal that causes a targeted muscle to contract. As the contraction weakens, the overlying expression line softens. The result develops over several days and gradually wears off.
CANDIDACY & SAFETY
Treatment may be appropriate for healthy adults seeking temporary improvement in expression lines. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, infection, certain neuromuscular conditions, prior toxin reactions, and some medications can affect candidacy.
The consultation includes product-specific benefits, duration, asymmetry risk, brow or eyelid effects, headache, bruising, and rare systemic symptoms.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We review goals, prior neurotoxin experience, medical history, and facial movement at rest and with expression.
BOTOX or DAXXIFY is selected when appropriate, then placed according to anatomy, strength, balance, and desired movement.
The effect develops gradually. Follow-up is arranged when needed after the result has had time to settle.
TREATMENT GOALS & MONITORING
The aim is improved balance and softer expression lines without unnecessary heaviness, brow change, or loss of natural expression.
We track onset, symmetry, movement, line softening, duration, and any unwanted effect. Your response becomes the most useful guide for future placement and dose.
AFTERCARE & RECOVERY
Avoid rubbing, pressing, or massaging the treated areas unless instructed otherwise. Remain upright for the first several hours and avoid strenuous exercise, significant heat exposure, or firm pressure on the injection sites for the remainder of the day. Minor bumps, redness, tenderness, or bruising can occur; the full effect is not immediate.
Contact the clinic for significant asymmetry, eyelid or brow drooping, worsening pain, or another unexpected response. Seek urgent medical care for difficulty swallowing, speaking, or breathing; generalized weakness; or signs of a serious allergic reaction.
