Aquagold, Botox & PDRN- The Luxe Trio for Radiant, Regenerated Skin

When it comes to glowing, youthful skin, sometimes it’s the little details that make the biggest difference. Aquagold® Fine Touch—often called the “super-facial”—is one of the most innovative treatments in aesthetics today. And when paired with micro-Botox and PDRN, the results go beyond the surface for a next-level rejuvenation.

What Is Aquagold Microneedling?

Aquagold uses a patented microchannel device with 24-carat gold-plated needles—each thinner than a human hair. Unlike traditional microneedling, Aquagold doesn’t just create channels in the skin—it delivers active ingredients directly into the dermis. Think of it as a luxury infusion tailored to your skin’s needs.

Why Add Botox to Aquagold?

In small, superficial doses (often called “micro-Botox”), Botox works differently than when it’s injected into muscles:
Refines pores for a smooth, airbrushed look.
Controls oil production, reducing shine and breakouts.
Softens fine lines without freezing expression.
Leaves skin silky and polished—perfect under makeup.
Reduces redness by blocking capillary dilatation.
Reduces Inflammation by blocking mast cell activation.
Infused through Aquagold, Botox is delivered evenly across the skin for a soft-focus glow.

The Power of PDRN

Now, let’s take it a step further. PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a regenerative powerhouse derived from salmon DNA fragments that’s been used in aesthetic and wound-healing medicine for years. Its role? To repair, rejuvenate, and restore.

Benefits include:
Boosts collagen & elastin for firmer, plumper skin.
Reduces redness and inflammation, calming stressed or irritated skin.
Accelerates skin healing after procedures.
Improves hydration and overall skin quality.
When combined with Aquagold, PDRN is infused directly where it’s most effective, helping skin look stronger, smoother, and healthier from within.

The Luxe Trio Experience

Quick: about 30 minutes.
Comfortable: gold-plated needles make treatment nearly painless.
Minimal downtime: just mild redness for a few hours.
Results: instant glow + long-term skin health improvements.

Who Is It For?

This customized Aquagold cocktail is ideal for patients who want:
Red carpet-ready skin with refined pores and polished texture.
A solution for dullness, dehydration, or early aging signs.
To support healing and regeneration alongside aesthetic benefits.
A treatment that’s customized and results-driven without looking “overdone.”

How Long Do Results Last?

Botox effects: 3–4 months of smoother pores and reduced oil.
PDRN benefits: ongoing improvements in skin health, tone, and resilience.
Glow factor: noticeable within days, peaking at 1–2 weeks.

✨ Pro Tip: Aquagold is fully customizable. Hyaluronic acid, vitamins, PRP, and growth factors can also be added, but the Botox + PDRN combination is a game-changer for patients who want both immediate refinement and long-term rejuvenation.

At Rejuvenate Austin The Luxe Trio consultations are completely complimentary. Come see if The Luxe Trio is right for you, schedule your free consultation today.

Why Are Dysport Units Measured Differently Than Botox Units?

Dysport and Botox are both botulinum toxin type A products used for similar purposes, such as reducing wrinkles or treating certain medical conditions. However, their units are not directly interchangeable because they are formulated and measured differently.

The commonly accepted conversion ratio is approximately: 1 unit of Botox ≈ 3 units of Dysport

Key Points:

1. This ratio may vary slightly depending on the practitioner and the specific treatment area.
2. The efficacy and spread of Dysport and Botox can differ, so the dosing strategy might be adjusted based on the individual patient’s needs.

Here at Rejuvenate Austin, we try to make things as easy and transparent for the patient as possible and that requires education. In this short blog post, I am going to explain why we convert Dysport units to Botox units to make your dosing and final bill easier to understand.

Let me start by introducing myself for my new blog readers. I am Dr. Jessica Wright and I am board certified in General Surgery. I have been practicing in Aesthetic Medicine and Anti-Aging for over a decade. I completed a Fellowship in Anti-Aging in 2021. I have treated thousands of patients personally and my practice has treated over 10,000 patients. Over the years, we have noticed how confusing it can be to switch between neurotoxins and to understand all the other procedures to achieve optimal skin health. I began writing blogs to help with the education of my patients and I even have printed copies in the office. I love sending patients home with handouts and a thorough consult sheet. We have a secure text line for questions after you get home and we pride ourselves in communication and education.

Now back to Dysport and Botox… The other competitor to Botox that we like is Xeomin. It is measured very much like Botox and does not require a conversion. I recently wrote a blog about Xeomin and when I like to use it for a patient. Go check it out!

Dysport, as you can see above, is measured so differently from Botox and can cause confusion around dosing and the final price of your service. Well, take a deep breath and rest assured that I made it super easy! A vial of Dysport is delivered at 300 units. A vial of Botox is 100 units. You can mix them exactly the same and inject them both as 100 Botox units. We will call Botox Units “BU” moving forward. Now remember that Dysport equation above: 1 unit of Botox ≈ 3 units of Dysport

So the 300 unit vial of Dysport is equivalent to the 100 unit vial of Botox. Now let’s just inject them both as a “BU”. Too many aesthetic practices are telling patients Dysport is $4/unit and Botox is $14/unit, but you need 3 times the Dysport. How confusing!! Instead of quoting you 60 units of Dysport, we will quote you 20 units of Dysport or Botox. They are both $14/BU. Make sense?

Now the math is super simple! When these items go on promo at $11/BU that is even better. Our membership is only $35/month and you lock in $10/unit of any Botox and 20% off skincare, filler, and skincare!

Ready to Simplify Your Aesthetic Journey?

At Rejuvenate Austin, we’re dedicated to making your cosmetic treatments as easy and transparent as possible. If you’re considering Dysport, Botox, or Xeomin, and want a clear understanding of your dosing and pricing, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Here’s how you can get started:

Everything You Need to Know About Underarm Botox

Introduction

Sweating is a natural and essential bodily function, but for some people, it can be excessive and problematic. If you’re one of those individuals who struggle with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), especially in the underarm area, you might be interested in learning about a highly effective solution: underarm Botox.

I am Dr. Jessica Wright and in this blog post, I explore what underarm Botox is, how it works, and what you can expect from the procedure. Y’all, I get this procedure for sheer convenience. I don’t have hyperhidrosis, but I do not like to use deodorant and I don’t use toxic anti-perspirant EVER!

What is Underarm Botox?

Botox, short for botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxic protein that has been used for various medical and cosmetic purposes for decades. While it’s widely known for its wrinkle-reducing capabilities, Botox is also FDA-approved for treating hyperhidrosis. Underarm Botox involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into the skin of the armpits to temporarily block the nerves responsible for activating sweat glands. Many patients get it for simply a confidence booster.

How Does It Underarm BotoxWork?

When Botox is injected into the underarm area, it blocks the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. This effectively reduces the amount of sweat produced. The treatment doesn’t affect sweating elsewhere on the body, so your overall ability to sweat and regulate body temperature remains intact.

The Underarm Botox Procedure

The process of receiving underarm Botox is relatively quick and straightforward:

1. Consultation: You’ll start with a consultation with a healthcare provider to discuss your sweating concerns, medical history, and any potential risks or contraindications. This can be done right before your treatment, or you can do the consultation and think about it… We are cool with either!!

2. Preparation: On the day of the procedure, the treatment area will be cleaned and possibly numbed with a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. I like to ice the area to numb the skin and find that works well with our amazing itty-bitty needles.

3. Injection: Using a fine needle, the provider will administer multiple small injections of Botox into the underarm area. The entire procedure typically takes about 20-30 minutes.

Beth, Dana, Tami, Ola, Candice, and I all do this procedure frequently. I still have patients tell me they haven’t heard of it, so I decided to write this blog!

4. Post-Treatment Care: After the injections, you can resume most of your daily activities immediately. However, it's advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and hot environments for the first 24-48 hours. Try not to sweat too much during this time. This helps the longevity of your Botox treatment.

Results and Effectiveness

Most people start to notice a reduction in underarm sweating within a few days of treatment, with full results becoming apparent after about two weeks. The effects of underarm Botox typically last between 4 to 6 months, after which you can choose to repeat the procedure if desired. To be completely honest, Y’all know I am always brutally honest, most patients only do this in the summer.

Benefits

Reduced Sweating: Significantly decreases underarm sweating, helping you stay dry and comfortable.
Improved Confidence: Less worry about visible sweat stains and odor can boost your self-esteem.
Non-Surgical: The procedure is minimally invasive and requires no downtime.

Potential Side Effects

While underarm Botox is generally safe, some people may experience mild side effects, such as:
– Pain or bruising at the injection site
– Headache
– Temporary muscle weakness near the treated area

These side effects are usually short-lived and resolve on their own. We only see them about 1-2% of the time. We treat lots of patients, so we get a good idea of complication rate.

Is It Right for You?

Underarm Botox is an excellent option for individuals who suffer from excessive underarm sweating and haven’t found relief with antiperspirants or other treatments. It’s important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if this treatment is suitable for you, especially if you have any underlying health conditions. Just to re-emphasis, we do this treatment frequently for people who sweat normally.

Conclusion

Underarm Botox can be a life-changing solution for those who struggle with hyperhidrosis. By effectively reducing excessive sweating, it allows you to feel more confident and comfortable in your daily life. If you’re considering this treatment, schedule a consultation with one of the Rejuvenate Injectors to learn more and see if it’s the right choice for you.

The VI Peel Tox Booster: The Treatment that enhances your Botox results!

The VI Peel Tox Booster is a targeted approach to refining skin texture and appearance.

This blog post delves into the details of the VI Peel Tox Booster, exploring its benefits, how it is applied, and the kind of results you can expect.

What is the VI Peel Tox Booster?

The VI Peel Tox Booster is an enhancement to your regular Botox appointment. Just prior to your Botox treatment, a VI Peel is applied. The VI Peel is a type of chemical peel known for its efficacy in treating a variety of skin concerns including acne, signs of aging, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. The Tox Booster is specifically formulated to intensify the effects of your Botox by incorporating additional active ingredients aimed at targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and the dullness that often accompanies aging skin.

Key Benefits of the VI Peel Tox Booster

1. Enhanced Fine Line and Wrinkle Reduction beyond what Botox can do alone.
2. Improved Skin Texture and Tone: Regular use of the peel helps in shedding dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover, and revealing a smoother, more even-toned skin surface.
3. Boost in Collagen Production: Ingredients in The VI Peel stimulate collagen synthesis, vital for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.
4. Safe for All Skin Types: Like the original VI Peel, the Tox Booster is designed to be safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones, reducing the risk of
hyperpigmentation.

How is The Tox Booster Applied?

Preparation: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any oils and makeup.
Application: The peel solution is applied systematically across the face. It may cause a slight tingling or burning sensation, which is normal.
Duration: The solution is left on the skin for a specific amount of time as determined by the professional based on individual skin type and condition.
Botox Injections: Immediately after the VI PEEL, your Botox treatment is administered.
Fun Fact, the VI Peel anesthetizes the skin (meaning it numbs it).

Post-application Care: After the peel, specific aftercare instructions must be followed, including the use of a post-peel protectant and a moisturizer. Sun exposure should be minimized, and sunscreen should be applied diligently.

After undergoing a treatment with the VI Peel Tox Booster, patients can generally expect:

Within a week, the skin begins to peel, revealing fresher, revitalized skin underneath.
After two weeks, the Botox takes full effect softening lines of facial expression. Over the following month, new collagen is formed and the skin starts to glow.

Long-term Benefits:

With multiple sessions, users notice a significant reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, enhanced skin tone, and overall improved skin health. This treatment also helps with sunspots and acne.

What Are the 3 Most Common Botox Side Effectss

Botox is a drug derived from a toxic byproduct of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.  When injected into facial creases and wrinkles, botox blocks nerve signals and paralyzes the muscles responsible for these facial features, leaving a smoother, relaxed, younger appearance.

Most often applied to frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet around the eyes, botox is not recommended for wrinkles caused by gravitational pull or sun damage.  The effects of botox can be fully appreciated within 7-14 days, however there may be a few side effects to be aware of in the meantime.

Botox injections are delivered through a very fine hypodermic needle.  While clients may experience slight discomfort with treatment, the three most common side effects you may experience are:

  • Bruising and/or bleeding at the injection site
  • Localized pain and/or tenderness
  • Inflammation and/or swelling

As with any procedure involving an injection, bruising and/or bleeding may persist temporarily.  In order to reduce the likelihood of either of these, we recommend that our clients abstain from using alcohol for at least one week prior to the procedure.  Additionally, for clients who frequently use aspirin or other anti-inflammatory medications, it is recommended to stop taking them for two weeks prior to treatment in order to prevent and alleviate excessive bruising.

Localized pain and/or tenderness is not uncommon and should subside within hours to days.  It is recommended that clients who have received botox injections avoid touching or rubbing the injection site for at least 24 hours, so as not to cause the botox to migrate to other, unintended areas.  Likewise, you may also benefit from remaining upright for at least four hours following your botox injection and refrain from any strenuous activity or exercise.

While there may be slight swelling or inflammation at the injection site, a cold compress gently applied may offer immediate soothing and help to reduce any redness, swelling, or discomfort you temporarily experience.  If indicated by your physician, Tylenol may also provide relief.

The side effects from botox injections vary from person to person.  A thorough consultation with your skincare specialist prior to treatment will document and review all allergies, personal care products, allergies, and potential issues you may experience.  If you have any questions or experience any botox injection side effects that last beyond the anticipated few days or weeks or that become severe, call and speak with your physician right away.

Rarely, patients may experience an allergic reaction to the botox injection.  These symptoms will be far more severe than the mild side effects mentioned, and may include:

  • Swelling of the tongue or throat
  • Swelling of the face, including eyelids or lips
  • Swelling of the hands and/or feet
  • Hives or itchy rash
  • Extreme flushing and/or redness of the skin

Allergic reactions of this nature may be serious. In the event of an allergic reaction, although very rare, contact your physician immediately*.

The side effects of botox are temporary, but the benefits outlast the minor discomfort, and usher in a smoother, more relaxed you.  Call Rejuvenate Austin today to schedule your free consultation with Dr. Jessica Wright.

*Patients with an allergy to cow’s milk or its protein are not appropriate candidates for botox injections.

Botox is onabotulinumtoxinA

Dysport is abobotulinumtoxinA

Xeomin is incobotulinumtoxinA

So, what does that mean? My clients often ask me which product I recommend and why. It is a tad difficult to give a straight answer because they are more similar than different. Obviously, Botox is marketed the most and is owned by Aesthetic giant Allergan. Botox has been around the longest giving them the edge on brand recognition. The loyalty program offered by Allergan is good and keeps clients requesting Botox time and time again. Dyport is made by Galderma and Xeomin is made by Merz. But what is the real physiologic difference?

Botox Austin

The answer is “Not much is different between the three products”. We all notice subtle differences in the business. Dysport tends to spread a tad more, but not in every client. Dysport kicks in at 2-4 days, where Botox takes around 4-7. Xeomin generally kicks in around day 5 as well. I have clients that feel Dysport lasts longer, but not all clients agree on that matter. Xeomin had a little mixing issue in its early launch period that led to less product in the solution. This has since been corrected, but I still have clients say they heard Xeomin does not last as long. This has not been the case in our office. We feel Xeomin lasts as long as Botox and Dysport in the average client. The one thing that is consistent across the board is when a client lands on one product, they have very specific reasons why. Every single person will have a slightly different experience with the three products and will choose a specific product based on that experience. For example, I treat two sisters and one gets at least 3 extra weeks of results with Dysport than Botox. For her sister, the opposite is true. These ladies keep a journal and are very specific about their experiences. They are comparing comparable treatments using different products. This brings me to my next point…

Dosage
The dose of the drug is far more important for longevity than the drug you choose. I am not saying that one of the above drugs won’t give you better results. I think most people would have a favorite if they tried all three. I am just saying the most important factor for longevity is dose, assuming the placement of the drug was good. Lastly, I like to alternate my neurotoxins to avoid forming antibodies to any one drug. I feel like I get the best results doing this and often recommend it to my clients.

Now that I have confused you, I will try to clear the air. Please try all three neurotoxins to see which you prefer to browse this site. Keep a journal and try to keep doses the same for a specific region when comparing the three. Sign up for both Allergan’s and Galderma’s loyalty programs. I attached the links below. They are easy savings plans to help offset some of the cost. I offer complimentary consultations to answer questions about Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and all other treatments.
