If you notice wrinkles as you raise your eyebrows, purse your lips, or smile, those are dynamic wrinkles. These wrinkles occur with repeated muscle movement and fade when the face is at rest. Because they aren’t permanent, people often don’t concern themselves with treatments like Botox.
However, dynamic wrinkles can become static wrinkles, which are lines that remain on the face even when it’s at rest.
At Honey Aesthetics, we use various neuromodulators, including Botox near Minneapolis, to help our patients age gracefully and explore subtle, but powerful enhancements. Our experienced providers support your natural features with thoughtfully placed injections so you can achieve your aesthetic goals.
Let’s explore our options for neuromodulators and how we provide soft, natural results that are never overdone with our Tox treatments.
What Are Neuromodulators?
Many injectable neuromodulators consist of botulinum type A, a type of bacteria that blocks nerve signals to your muscles, temporarily relaxing them. This allows patients to see softened lines and fewer wrinkles when smiling, squinting, or frowning.
These wrinkle-relaxing injectables lead the industry in nonsurgical facial enhancements. Due to the low commitment, high-reward nature of these injections, patients can explore subtle enhancements with no downtime.
Your Tox Options at Honey Aesthetics
Since “Botox” defines the neuromodulator industry, many people refer to facial injections as Botox treatments, no matter what brand of product they receive. Similar to Kleenex, ChapStick, or Band-Aid, these generic terms have come to represent the entire category.
Although Botox is one of the most well-known brands of wrinkle relaxer, it’s not your only option. Many neuromodulators work similarly, but can differ in onset, spread, and duration of results.
At Honey Aesthetics, we carry many different FDA-approved neuromodulators to meet the needs of our patients and support their unique anatomy. Here are a few of our most popular Tox options at our practice.
Botox: The Original Tox
When you think of facial injections, you likely think of Botox. Near Minneapolis, we use this gold-standard injectable to reduce muscle movement in target areas. With precise Botox injections, we can temporarily relax the muscles to prevent the formation of wrinkles.
Botox stays where it’s injected due to its thicker formula, meaning if you want a more still appearance in your forehead, between the brows, or around the eyes, we might recommend this neuromodulator. The precise nature of Botox makes it a leader in the industry and provides noticeable, yet natural results.
Dysport: Soft and Expressive
One of our favorite brands of neuromodulators, Dysport, provides softer results while allowing you to maintain your natural expressions. Dysport consists of a thinner formula of botulinum type A, giving it a greater spread across treatment areas.
Patients who select Dysport might experience a slightly quicker onset when compared to the results of Botox. Near Minneapolis, we recommend Dysport for patients who want to reduce wrinkles subtly for a softer, younger appearance.
Xeomin: Pure and Powerful
Xeomin contains botulinum type A as well, but does not contain complex proteins like other brands, making it the “naked” neuromodulator. This means that with Xeomin, patients have a lower risk of developing antibodies against the product that would make it less effective.
The results of Xeomin often last longer than other brands of neuromodulators, showing results for up to 6 months, while others last 3 to 4 months. If you are vegan or have an allergy to certain animal byproducts, you recommend Xeomin.
Daxxify: Peptide-Based Treatment
As the only peptide-formulated wrinkle-relaxing treatment, Daxxify provides a unique approach to neuromodulator injections. Instead of using proteins to stabilize the product like Botox and Dysport, Daxxify uses a peptide, which is believed to enhance the longevity of results.
The product does not contain any human or animal byproducts, making it safe for those who have allergies or are vegan or vegetarian.
When it comes to choosing the right neuromodulators for you, it’s not a case of “better or worse.” It’s about what works with your anatomy and can give you the results you wish for. Our team works with you and your goals, combining our expertise with your ambitions to create a personalized approach.

Let’s look at a few of our treatments that use precise, artfully placed injections to help you feel your best, without looking overdone.
Tox Treatments at Honey Aesthetics
Our Tox services use intentional and precise doses of neuromodulators to relax the muscles responsible for wrinkle formation, while allowing you to still express your emotions.
While we can provide Tox to specific areas such as the forehead or between the eyebrows, we have unique Tox treatments designed to address specific concerns and help you age gracefully.
Full Face Tox Sprinkle
Our signature Tox treatment uses small doses, or “sprinkles,” of neuromodulators into key areas of the face to provide a refreshed appearance. The Tox Sprinkle addresses the upper and lower face and muscles in the neck for facial balancing and subtle rejuvenation.
For the Tox Sprinkle, we recommend Dysport or Botox. Near Minneapolis, our injectors personalise the injection process, addressing every area of concern with intention.
The full face Tox treatment addresses wrinkles and concerns, including:
- Forehead lines
- Glabellar lines (11s)
- Crow’s feet
- Bunny lines
- Lip Flip/Gummy Smile
- Chin dimpling
- Platysmal bands
- And more!
Lip Flip for a Gummy Smile
For patients who have a thin upper lip or more gum visibility than they’d like, we recommend our Tox-based lip flip treatment. When we smile, our upper lip curls under, and for some people, this reveals a significant amount of their gums.
Injecting Tox into the upper lip relaxes the muscle (orbicularis oris) that curls under, prompting it to flip outward instead. This treatment provides the illusion of a fuller upper lip, without the use of filler. We recommend a lip flip for patients who are satisfied with the general shape and size of their lips but want to alter the muscle movement.
Additionally, a lip flip makes a great option for patients who are new to the world of facial injections and aren’t sure if they want to commit to lip filler. We can provide a temporary, natural enhancement using Botox near Minneapolis.
Facial Slimming Masseter Tox
We can use Tox injections in the lower face, specifically the masseters and jawline, for facial slimming and to relieve tension from various conditions. By relaxing the masseter muscles that help you chew and open and close the jaw, we reduce pain and discomfort from teeth grinding, jaw clenching, or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder.
Using Tox in the masseters also provides a slimming effect, reducing the overall size of the muscles. This can give a more V-shaped contour to the face, enhancing your natural features. Jawline tox encourages harmony throughout the upper and lower face, balancing your overall appearance.
We recommend masseter Tox for patients who want to relieve tension and redefine their profile with a nonsurgical treatment.
