Neurotoxin Injections in Reston, VA
Botox®, Dysport®, Jeuveau® and Daxxify Available
FDA-approved, minimally invasive neurotoxin procedures with personalized care
Neurotoxin injections, such as Botox, are among the most popular cosmetic treatments for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The body's natural processes play a significant role in how long the effects of neurotoxin treatments last, as the body gradually absorbs and breaks down the injected product over time, which can influence both longevity and effectiveness.
Our experienced providers are focused on achieving optimal, natural-looking results tailored to each client’s needs. While many people assume a doctor must perform these procedures, other trained healthcare professionals, such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants, are also qualified to safely administer neurotoxin treatments.

Botox
Botox is a widely used injectable treatment made from botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes muscles by blocking nerve signals. Approved by the FDA in 2002 for cosmetic use, it is best known for reducing dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, frown lines (glabellar lines), and forehead lines. It is also used for medical purposes like treating migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms. Botox’s effects typically last about 3 to 4 months, depending on individual factors like metabolism and treatment area.
Jeuveau
Jeuveau, often referred to as "Newtox," is an injectable botulinum toxin type A treatment used to temporarily reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines (glabellar lines) between the eyebrows. Like Botox, it works by relaxing the muscles responsible for repetitive facial expressions, which helps smooth wrinkles and prevent them from deepening over time.
Approved by the FDA in 2019, Jeuveau is a newer neuromodulator that offers a similar mechanism of action to Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. It is popular among patients seeking a refreshed and youthful appearance without surgery or downtime.
Jeuveau is especially known for its focus on aesthetics, as it was designed specifically for cosmetic purposes. It’s a great option for individuals looking for a modern, effective wrinkle-relaxing treatment administered by a skilled professional. Results typically last around 3–4 months, and the treatment is quick, with minimal discomfort.
Daxxify
Daxxify is a long-lasting botulinum toxin type A injectable treatment designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, similar to other neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines (glabellar lines) between the eyebrows.
What sets Daxxify apart from other wrinkle relaxers is its advanced formulation, which incorporates a unique peptide technology. This allows Daxxify to offer a longer duration of results, with effects that may last up to six months or longer for many patients, compared to the typical 3–4 months of other botulinum toxin treatments.
Daxxify is particularly appealing to patients looking for fewer maintenance appointments while still achieving natural, refreshed results. Like other neuromodulators, it requires administration by a licensed and trained provider to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.
