Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify all fall into a category of injectables called “neuromodulators.” While that might sound super sciency, the idea is simple: these treatments relax facial muscles that contribute to wrinkle formation and expression lines.
Think about all the little movements your face makes throughout the day. You smile, squint, laugh, frown, raise your brows, and sometimes (maybe without realizing) you have a permanent look of concentration.
Over time, those repeated movements can create lines in the skin that appear whenever you make those expressions or move the muscles. Our injectables temporarily stop that muscle activity. When they cannot contract as normal, it reduces the amount of wrinkles visible on the skin’s surface.
Our Philosophy
With Dysport, Daxxify, and Botox in Georgetown, our nurse injectors can treat common areas of wrinkle formation, such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and the vertical lines between your brows (11s).
Since we take a conservative approach, we don’t try to erase every line or stop your face from moving entirely. That is not our vibe.
We want your results to look balanced and true to your features. You should still be able to smile, react, and look like yourself! Just a little softer, and a little less like you’ve been glaring at your laptop since 8 a.m.
What to Expect With Neuromodulators
Before we begin your treatment, your nurse injector studies your facial movement, listens to your concerns, and talks through your options. While we don’t require a consultation, we do recommend speaking with our providers first, especially if it’s your first time trying Botox.
In Georgetown, some of our clients want a subtle, highly targeted softening, while others want a more noticeable and comprehensive refresh. No matter your goals, we build your treatment around your anatomy, comfort level, and personal preferences.
Your Treatment
The appointment itself is pretty quick and straightforward, meaning you don’t have to dedicate tons of time to Botox.
In Georgetown, your Lolia nurse injector maps the treatment area, cleanses the skin, and places small injections into targeted muscles as you discussed during your treatment planning.
In addition to treating common areas of wrinkle formation, we can also treat the masseters. These large jaw muscles can contribute to tension, facial width, or TMJ-related discomfort for certain clients. Injecting wrinkle relaxers into the masseter muscles can reduce their size and calm overactivity for a slimmer jawline and less soreness.
Most clients describe the feeling as a tiny pinch. It is not exactly the most relaxing spa visit, but it is usually much easier than people expect.

Results and Maintenance
After your appointment, you can return to your normal routine. We will give you simple aftercare instructions, like staying upright for a few hours and skipping heavy workouts, saunas, steam rooms, or facial massage right away. These steps help your wrinkle relaxer formula to settle where it should and prevent irritation.
Results develop gradually, so expect patience as part of the process. You may start noticing a softer look within a few days, with full results appearing around 2 weeks after treatment. Depending on the exact neuromodulator formula and placement, you might experience a quicker onset.
We have you visit for a follow-up appointment about 2 weeks after your original session. During this appointment, we check your results and provide any necessary adjustments. We want you to feel completely confident with your enhancements, which is why we work with you until we get them right.
Most clients enjoy their smoother skin for several months, though timing varies based on the product used, your metabolism, and how expressive your muscles are. When movement starts coming back and lines become more noticeable again, you can schedule your next visit, usually every 3 to 4 months.
The Difference Between the Neuromodulators We Offer
Our nurse injectors offer different neuromodulator formulas to cater to a wide variety of clients. During your initial consultation, we help you decide between Dysport, Daxxify, and Botox.
In Georgetown, your provider educates you on how each of these treatments performs and which one might be the best for your goals.
Each of these works in a similar way, but behaves slightly differently based on the treatment area and its unique properties.
- Botox: Botox is the most-trusted classic. Many people refer to neuromodulator treatments as “Botox injections,” no matter which product they receive. It’s been around forever, and our clients love it for its predictable results for areas that need precise treatment.
- Xeomin: Xeomin has a highly purified formula, meaning it’s safe for patients who have adverse reactions to accessory proteins. We can address forehead lines, crow’s feet, and more with Xeomin.
- Dysport: We love Dysport because it has a thinner consistency than Botox. This means it works beautifully on larger areas with its greater spread. We typically enjoy treating the forehead with Dysport for soft and seamless results.
- Daxxify: Daxxify has a slightly different formulation than Dysport and Botox, as it’s made from a unique peptide. Some clients feel that Daxxify lasts longer and has a quicker onset than other options.
The best part is: you don’t have to know which one you want. By talking through your goals and assessing your treatment area, our providers help you find the best solution. That’s what we are here for 🤩
Botox, Personalized to You
Whether this is your first Botox appointment or your 100th, we want you to feel comfortable asking every question. Want to see if you can pair Botox with another treatment? Want to try more or less to see if you like those results better?
At Lolia Aesthetics, we would always rather have an honest conversation than talk you into something that does not feel right. Sometimes that means starting small. Sometimes that means treating fewer areas with Botox in Georgetown.
Our approach comes down to trust, experience, and natural results. We know the best wrinkle relaxer results do not scream, “I got Botox.” They say, “I look rested, confident, and like myself on a really good day.”
