Daxxify

Daxxify is a recently FDA-approved cosmetic treatment that contains a neurotoxin known as daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm. This safe yet powerful injectable neuromodulator inhibits the release of a chemical called acetylcholine.

This chemical messenger sends signals to your nerves to make your muscles contract, which is what causes dynamic wrinkles.

When this process is blocked, it results in smoother, more youthful skin, all thanks to minimally invasive Daxxify injections. Daxxify is in the same medication class as cosmetic Botox and its alternatives, however it offers its own unique benefits that competitors do not. It’s a lot longer lasting!

Why Choose Daxxify for Wrinkle Reduction?

This particular anti-aging treatment already has so many uses despite currently only having FDA approval for the treatment of glabellar lines, or “11” lines. However, it may be used safely for other dynamic wrinkles as well.

Sessions are quick, it’s highly effective, and it requires no downtime afterward.

What Do Daxxify Injections Feel Like?

Like any other cosmetic injectable, Daxxify is incredibly well tolerated. Your provider will more than likely numb the areas of treatment first to ensure your comfort, but even without it, you won’t feel more than a quick pinch followed by a sense of pressure.

When Will I See Daxxify Results?

Neuromodulators naturally have a fast onset, and Daxxify isn’t any exception to this rule. Improvement can be seen as early as one to seven days, however it typically takes about 10 to 14 days to see the full results.

How Long Do Daxxify Results Last?

What makes Daxxify particularly unique is how long its effects last. Most patients experience results for as long as six months, and some have even reported wrinkle reduction for up to nine months! This is the first injectable in this medication class to produce such long-lasting results.

This is mainly thanks to the peptides found in its formula, keeping the product stable and extending the staying power of your injections.

How Long Does Treatment Take?

Daxxify appointments are completed in an hour or less for the majority of patients, allowing patients to take advantage of their lunch break.

The longest part is waiting for your topical anesthetic to take effect. The injection process itself is able to be completed in 10 to 20 minutes. You’ll be asked to wait 10 to 15 minutes before you leave to ensure that you respond well to treatment.

How Long Is the Recovery After Daxxify?

If you’re concerned about recovery, know that it isn’t an issue. Most patients are able to return to work, school, and standard day-to-day activities immediately after their appointment. Still, if you want to take a day off just in case, go for it.

What Are the Side Effects of Daxxify?

Side effects reported from Daxxify injections are minimal. It is possible to experience redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site, as well as a headache. These side effects are mild and temporary, resolving themselves in 48 to 72 hours.

Am I a Good Candidate for Daxxify?

Generally speaking, healthy adults with fine lines and wrinkles, particularly moderate to severe glabellar lines, qualify for Daxxify injections.

Patients who are pregnant or nursing should not receive this treatment. To find out whether you’re eligible, you need a consultation with an experienced cosmetic injector.
