Not Just Botox: Understanding the Different Wrinkle Relaxer Brands We Offer
Not Just Botox: Understanding the Different Wrinkle Relaxer Brands We Offer
When most people think about smoothing fine lines or softening expression wrinkles, they immediately think of Botox. It’s the most well-known name in the industry—and for good reason. But what many clients don’t realize is that Botox is just one brand of a treatment category known as neuromodulators. And there are several other FDA-approved options that deliver the same results—sometimes even better, depending on your unique skin and goals.
At Icon Aesthetics & Wellness, we offer a curated selection of top-tier wrinkle relaxers:
Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau.
Each of these products uses the same active ingredient—botulinum toxin type A—and works by temporarily relaxing facial muscles to soften wrinkles caused by repeated expressions like frowning, squinting, and raising your eyebrows.
So, what makes each one different?
Botox®
The gold standard and most recognizable name in the aesthetic world. Botox is trusted for its consistency and has been used safely for decades. It’s a go-to for patients who want precise results, especially in small or targeted areas like the “11s” between the brows or crow’s feet.
Dysport®
Dysport has a slightly different formula that allows it to spread more easily, making it ideal for treating larger areas like the forehead. It also tends to work a little faster than Botox—results often begin to show in 2–3 days, compared to 4–7 days with Botox.
Many of our clients love Dysport for how quickly and naturally it softens the skin, especially when time is a factor (like before a special event).
Jeuveau® (a.k.a. “Newtox”)
Jeuveau is often called the “next-generation” wrinkle relaxer. It’s formulated specifically for aesthetic use and is known for its modern branding, affordability, and reliable results. Many patients find it performs nearly identically to Botox, but may be a more budget-friendly option without sacrificing quality.
Xeomin®
Xeomin is considered the “clean” or “naked” version of botulinum toxin. Unlike the others, Xeomin doesn’t contain added proteins, which may reduce the risk of building resistance over time. It’s an excellent option for patients who’ve used Botox or Dysport for years or who are concerned about long-term tolerance.
So, Which One Is Right for You?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The best wrinkle relaxer for you depends on:
Your skin type and muscle strength
How quickly you want to see results
The area being treated
Whether you’ve tried neuromodulators before
Personal preference based on past results
That’s why, at Icon Aesthetics & Wellness, we always start with a personalized consultation. We’ll assess your facial anatomy, review your goals, and recommend the brand that will give you the most natural, beautiful outcome.
Final Thoughts
Botox may be the most recognized name in aesthetics, but it’s not the only option—and for some, it may not even be the best one. Whether you’re trying wrinkle relaxers for the first time or you’re curious to explore different brands, our team at Icon Wellness is here to help guide you.
We offer Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin to give you options—and results—that truly fit you. Every face is different, and our approach is always tailored, never one-size-fits-all.
