Listen Later

Summary:

In this episode of The Retreat Radio, PA Heather Witt breaks down one of the most popular and misunderstood treatments in aesthetic medicine: neurotoxins.

 

From Botox and Dysport to Xeomin, Daxxify, Jeuveau, and newer toxins entering the market, Heather explains how neurotoxins actually work, the real differences between brands, and why marketing does not always reflect clinical performance.

 

This episode also tackles the biggest myths surrounding Botox and neurotoxins, including “baby Botox,” frozen faces, preventative Botox, toxin resistance, and whether starting young causes you to age worse later.

 

PA Heather also shares why she personally prefers Dysport over Botox, how dosing and placement affect results, and why injector skill matters far more than the brand itself.

 

Whether you are new to neurotoxins or have been getting treatments for years, this episode will help you better understand what actually creates natural, long-lasting results.
