TWIN STUDY: Same Genes, Same Injector, Different Toxins 🧬
When patients ask “which toxin is better?” - the answer is more nuanced.
Meet my identical twin patients: Same facial anatomy, same injection pattern, same technique. The only difference? Twin A, Rachel, received Dysport (160 units), Twin B, Madison, received Daxxify (120 units).
The Protocol:
Identical 3-point glabellar injection pattern
Same forehead and crow’s feet approach
Proper unit conversion ratios
6-month follow-up timeline
The Results:
Both twins achieved excellent movement reduction and natural-looking results. However, we found some interesting differences:
Onset: Rachel (Dysport) noticed results in 2 days, Madison (Daxxify) saw results in 5 days
Duration: Notably longer duration with Daxxify - which is why both twins have requested to be retreated with Daxxify for their next session
The Takeaway:
Quality results come from proper technique, understanding facial anatomy, and appropriate dosing. But when there’s clinical evidence showing differences in both onset and longevity with consistent application, that data matters for treatment planning.
