Botox, Dysport & Daxxify Injections in San Jose, CA
Expertly Placed. Completely Natural. Still Unmistakably You.
Neurotoxin treatments are one of the most effective tools in aesthetic medicine — when they're done right. At Modern Aesthetics in San Jose, Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify are administered personally by Sheri Rocha, PA-C, a derm-trained provider with nearly 9 years of experience and an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy and muscle movement. The goal is never to freeze, flatten, or overdo it. The goal is to make you look like yourself — just more rested, more refreshed, and more confident.
What Are Neurotoxin Injectables?
Neurotoxins — including Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify — are FDA-approved injectable treatments that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles to smooth lines, prevent new ones from forming, and restore a more refreshed appearance.
They're one of the most researched and widely used treatments in aesthetic medicine, with a long track record of safety and effectiveness. In the right hands, results look completely natural — the kind where people notice you look great but can't quite put their finger on why.
At Modern Aesthetics, all three products are priced the same — so you can choose based on what's right for your face, not your budget.
Which Neurotoxin is Right for You?
Botox — The gold standard in neurotoxin treatments. Botox is well studied, predictable, and versatile. Most patients see results lasting 3–4 months, with optimal results at the 4–6 month mark for retreatment.
Dysport — A popular alternative to Botox with a slightly different formulation that some patients find spreads more naturally across larger treatment areas. Results and longevity are comparable to Botox for most patients.
Daxxify — The newest FDA-approved neurotoxin on the market and one of the most exciting developments in aesthetic medicine in years. Daxxify is peptide-based rather than human albumin-based, and has shown notably longer-lasting results specifically in the glabella complex (the area between the brows). For other areas, longevity is comparable to Botox and Dysport. It's an excellent option for patients who metabolize neurotoxins quickly or want to explore the latest in injectable technology.
Not sure which is right for you? That's exactly what your consultation is for. Sheri will assess your facial anatomy, muscle movement, and goals to recommend the product — and the approach — that will give you the best outcome.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Every neurotoxin treatment at Modern Aesthetics begins with a thorough assessment — not just of the areas you want treated, but of your overall facial anatomy, muscle movement patterns, and long-term skin health. This is where nearly 9 years of derm training makes a real difference.
Injections are performed with meticulous attention to placement and technique. Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the experience is — describing the injections as relatively painless.
After your treatment, every patient receives a personal follow-up to check on your results and address any questions. Because the treatment doesn't end when you walk out the door.

In-depth facial assessment before every treatment
Precise, anatomically informed injection technique

Why Choose Modern Aesthetics?
Neurotoxins are only as good as the person administering them. Placement, depth, dosage, and an understanding of how your specific muscles move — these are the details that separate results that look natural from results that don't.
At Modern Aesthetics, every treatment is performed personally by Sheri Rocha, PA-C — a dermatology-trained provider with nearly 9 years of experience whose entire focus is on your outcome. Not volume, not upselling, not rushing to the next patient. Just your face, your goals, and results you'll actually love.
Here's what patients say:
"And yes the Dysport looks great — no need for a touch up."
"It was completely PAINLESS! After three years of this procedure, I've never had a pain-free experience until now. She is the most experienced and honest medical provider I've ever met."
"I am a licensed RN who used to do medical aesthetics, so I am PICKY. Her Botox is on point. Expertly injected so it's maximized for effectiveness. I never look 'done' and I'm constantly complimented that I look far younger than my 51 years."
