Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, Jeuveau® & DAXXIFY®

In the correct hands, injections can work wonders for your appearance. Muscle relaxants (neuromodulators) such as BOTOX^®, Dysport^®, XEOMIN^®, Jeuveau^® and DAXXIFY^® injected by Miami board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jackie Yee into carefully selected sites, can reduce forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and those ever-present worry lines between your eyes. Dr. Yee is one of the most sought-after plastic surgeons in the field of facial rejuvenation and is routinely asked to instruct colleagues on the proper techniques for using these products.

Dr. Yee specializes in non-surgical cosmetic procedures such as BOTOX injections. Fort Lauderdale and other South Florida residents are invited to request a consultation online with Dr. Yee, or call us at (305) 670-9995 to schedule an appointment.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Virtually anyone interested in reducing wrinkles without undergoing surgery can benefit from the injection of BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport, XEOMIN, Jeuveau, or DAXXIFY. Injections in the proper places not only treat wrinkles, but also shape the eyebrows and result in a more youthful appearance.

Other less well-known areas that can be improved with the use of neuromodulators include:

• The jawline to turn up the corners of the mouth
• Saggy neck muscles, called platysma bands
• Around the mouth to decrease signs of wrinkles (smoker’s lines)
• Sides of the jaw to decrease the width of muscle from clenching teeth
• The chin to improve the appearance of dimpled, or cobblestone, chin

Most of the men and women who come to our practice for facial rejuvenation treatments are between 30 and 70 with good skin tone. While injectable products can help restore your youthful appearance, the effects are not permanent. Subsequent treatments are necessary to maintain the younger look. You may consider a brow lift or face lift in addition to correction and improvement that may be unattainable by injections alone.

What’s the Difference?

All 5 products share the same active ingredient, botulinum toxin A. When injected, the active protein weakens the targeted muscles, relaxing the wrinkles and resulting in smoother-looking skin. Dr. Yee uses her expertise to ensure the injections are safely tailored to your needs and identify the appropriate injection sites. Although similar, the products are not the same.

• BOTOX Cosmetic: The FDA approved BOTOX in 2002. It is a household name and the most popular injectable product for reducing frown lines. Allergan Aesthetics manufactures and distributes it.
• Dysport: The FDA approved its use in the U.S. in 2009. Depending on the patient, Dysport may work slightly faster and possibly last longer. It is distributed by Galderma (formerly Medicis Aesthetics).
• XEOMIN: Approved in 2011 by the FDA, XEOMIN has been used for quite some time in other countries. It is distributed by Merz Aesthetics.
• Jeuveau: Approved in 2019 by the FDA, Jeuveau is distributed by Evolus.
• Daxxify: Approved in 2022 by the FDA, Daxxify is distributed by Revance.

What to Expect

Procedure	BOTOX®, Dysport®, XEOMIN®, Jeuveau®, DAXXIFY®
Description	When you meet Dr. Yee, she will evaluate your facial anatomy to pinpoint specific sites where injections would benefit most. A very thin needle is used, and the injections weaken only the chosen facial muscles that cause wrinkles. Results will begin appearing in a few days, but the full effect of the injections may take up to a week to see. The improvements begin to fade slowly after about 3 months, although the effects in some areas may last longer.
Recovery	Depending on the area or areas injected, you may not exercise immediately after treatment. It is important not to massage or rub the injection sites because there is a risk the injections will affect the surrounding muscles. That could lead to temporary unsatisfactory results, including droopy eyelids. Complications are rare, but bruising, soreness, and swelling may occur.
