Choose Your Tox
Jeuveau® | $12/unit
Our go-to aesthetic tox
Jeuveau is a botulinum toxin type A developed specifically for aesthetic use. It’s our most commonly used option for softening expression lines while maintaining a natural, refreshed look.
Xeomin® | $12/unit
A purified formulation
Xeomin is botulinum toxin type A without accessory proteins. It offers the same muscle-relaxing approach with a simplified formulation and is a great option for patients who prefer Xeomin or already know they respond well to it.
DAXXIFY® | $7/unit
Our longer-lasting option
DAXXIFY is also botulinum toxin type A, but it uses a proprietary peptide-based stabilizer and may provide longer-lasting results for some patients.
DAXXIFY has its own dosing scale. Its units cannot be compared directly with Jeuveau or Xeomin, so $7/unit does not mean the treatment is less expensive.
Not sure which one to choose? You don’t have to.
Tell us what you’ve tried before, what you liked or didn’t like, and how much movement you want to keep. Your provider can recommend the product and dose that best fit your anatomy and goals.
Our Approach to Tox
Natural results aren’t about using the fewest units. They’re about the right dose in the right muscles.
Dose can influence how effectively a muscle is treated and how long the result lasts. Placement determines which muscles and movements are affected.
Using fewer units doesn’t automatically create a more natural result. We customize both dose and placementwith the goal of creating a treatment that lasts while maintaining the amount of natural expression you want.
DID YOU KNOW?
For simultaneous treatment of the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet, XEOMIN’s FDA-approved recommended dosing totals up to 64 units: 20 units for frown lines, 20 units for the forehead, and 24 units for crow’s feet.
Natural doesn’t mean underdosed.
The right dose. The right placement. The right amount of movement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Botox, Jeuveau, Xeomin, and DAXXIFY are different brands of botulinum toxin type A. They work through the same basic mechanism by temporarily reducing activity in targeted muscles, but their formulations are slightly different.
Jeuveau was developed specifically for aesthetic use. Xeomin contains the active neurotoxin without accessory proteins. DAXXIFY uses a proprietary peptide-based stabilizer and may provide longer-lasting results for some patients.
Derma Theory currently offers Jeuveau, Xeomin, and DAXXIFY.
Not necessarily. The final result depends on both dose and placement.
Dose can influence the strength and duration of treatment, while placement determines which muscles and movements are affected. Using fewer units doesn’t automatically create a more natural result.
Dose can influence duration. An appropriate dose may provide a stronger and longer-lasting treatment, but more is not automatically better.
Your provider determines the dose based on the product, muscle strength, anatomy, treatment area, and desired result.
Several factors can affect longevity, including dose, muscle strength, metabolism, treatment area, product choice, and individual response.
Underdosing may contribute to shorter duration in some patients, which is why we don’t automatically use the fewest units possible.
Jeuveau | $12/unit
Xeomin | $12/unit
DAXXIFY | $7/unit
Your total depends on the product, treatment areas, and recommended dose. DAXXIFY uses a different dosing scale, so its units should not be directly compared with Jeuveau or Xeomin.
There is no universal number. Your dose depends on your facial anatomy, muscle strength, treatment areas, previous treatments, and how much movement you want to maintain.
Appropriate dosing and consistent treatment intervals matter. Product choice, muscle strength, metabolism, treatment area, and individual response can also affect longevity.
Some research suggests that zinc supplementation before botulinum toxin treatment may enhance the response and potentially prolong its effect, although the evidence is still limited and results are not guaranteed.
If appropriate for you, ask your provider whether starting zinc several days before your appointment makes sense for you.
Bunny lines are expression lines along the sides of the nose. Jelly rolls are small muscular bulges beneath the lower eyelids that become more noticeable when smiling or squinting. In appropriate candidates, carefully placed neurotoxin can soften these areas.
A lip flip uses a small amount of neurotoxin around the upper lip to allow more of the upper lip to show. Unlike lip filler, it does not add volume.
Masseter tox targets the strong chewing muscles along the jaw. For patients with prominent masseters, treatment can gradually soften a wider lower face and create a slimmer appearance while reducing muscle activity.
For appropriate candidates, neurotoxin can be used in the lower face and platysma to reduce downward muscle pull and soften prominent neck bands. This approach is sometimes called a Nefertiti lift.
Duration varies based on the product, dose, treatment area, muscle strength, metabolism, and individual response. DAXXIFY may provide longer-lasting results for some patients.
