Botox® vs. Dysport® vs. Daxxify®: Which Is Right for You?
When it comes to smoothing fine lines and refreshing your appearance, neurotoxin injections are among the most popular treatments available. At Refinery Aesthetics + Wellness in Oxford, MI, we offer Botox®, Dysport®, and Daxxify®—three trusted, FDA-approved options that relax targeted muscles to reduce wrinkles. But what’s the difference, and how do you know which one is right for you?
All three temporarily soften the muscle activity that creates expression lines (think frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet). The key differences are how quickly they kick in, how they diffuse, and how long results may last:
Dysport® often shows earlier onset (sometimes in 2–3 days) and can diffuse a bit more, which many people like for larger areas such as the forehead.
Botox® typically appears in 3–5 days and is a favorite for precise, targeted corrections.
Daxxify® is the newest of the three and uses a peptide-based stabilizer (no human serum albumin). Many clients choose it for its longer duration—with results that can last about 4–6 months for many people (individual results vary).
Our experienced injectors will evaluate your goals, skin type, animation patterns, and treatment areas to recommend the option best suited for you.
Key benefits include:
Natural-looking, subtle results when administered by experts
Minimal downtime—easy to fit into a busy schedule
Typical longevity: Botox®/Dysport® ~3–4 months; Daxxify® often 4–6 months (varies by individual and area)
Whether you’re in Oxford, Lake Orion, or Lapeer, our team specializes in results that help you look refreshed, confident, and completely like yourself. Book a consultation to learn which neurotoxin is your perfect fit.
Botox vs. Dysport vs. Daxxify FAQs

Which works the fastest?
Dysport® often kicks in around 2–3 days, Botox® about 3–5 days, and Daxxify® commonly appears within a similar early window—most reach full effect by 2 weeks.
