Botox, Jeuveau & Daxxify in San Juan Capistrano, CA
Years of laughing, frowning, and squinting can leave lines and wrinkles across your forehead and around your eyes, making you look older than you feel. The dermatology and medical aesthetic specialists at HK Dermatology in San Juan Capistrano, CA offer neuromodulator injections, including Botox®, Jeuveau®, and Daxxify®, to smooth wrinkles and help you look refreshed and youthful, but never overdone.
Request an AppointmentHow Do Botox, Jeuveau, and Daxxify Work?
Botox®, Jeuveau®, and Daxxify® are purified forms of botulinum toxin, known as neuromodulators. They are FDA-approved to treat frown lines and other dynamic wrinkles by targeting the muscles that cause them. When your provider injects a neuromodulator into specific points across the forehead, between the eyebrows, at the outer corners of the eyes, or in other areas of the face or neck, it temporarily relaxes the underlying muscles. This reduces their activity when you make your usual facial expressions, so lines appear smoother and you look more refreshed.
If you have moderate to severe frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, lip lines, or neck cords, a quick treatment of about 10 minutes can help these lines appear smoother and less severe.
Areas Treated With Neuromodulators
- Frown lines (the “11s”) between the eyebrows
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Crow’s feet at the outer corners of the eyes
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Fine lip lines and a gummy smile
- Downturned mouth corners and chin dimpling
- Vertical neck bands
- Excessive underarm sweating, or hyperhidrosis

How Long Do Results Last?
You will begin to see a difference in your frown lines and crow’s feet within 24 to 48 hours, with full results in about one to two weeks. Neuromodulators are a temporary treatment. The average duration of Botox or Jeuveau is three to four months in the upper face, though individual response varies, while Daxxify may last longer. Undertreating with too few units can shorten the duration, so talk with your provider about the right dose for you. Your provider can recommend how often to return to maintain your desired look.
What to Expect During Treatment
Most adults find botulinum toxin injections quick, easy, and nearly painless. You may feel a small pinch at each injection site, which is easily tolerated, and a topical numbing cream is available on request. There is minimal downtime, if any, so you can return to your daily routine immediately, which makes this a popular lunch-break treatment. To get the best results, avoid lying down, rubbing the treated area, or strenuous exercise for several hours afterward.
Combine Neuromodulators With Other Treatments
Neuromodulators smooth lines caused by movement, while dermal fillers restore lost volume. Many patients combine Botox with JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, or Revance RHA® for a complete refresh. Skin texture and tone can be improved with Morpheus8, an IPL photofacial, chemical peels, and fractional laser resurfacing. For permanent underarm sweat reduction, ask about miraDry.
