What Are the Benefits of DAXXIFY®?
In the hands of a qualified injector, DAXXIFY® can produce benefits such as:
- Long-lasting effects (often up to six months or longer)
- Natural-looking results
- Ability to treat a range of facial areas
- A quick and convenient procedure
- Little to no need for recovery time
Which Areas Can DAXXIFY® Treat?
The famously versatile DAXXIFY® can be used to treat a variety of facial areas where dynamic wrinkles commonly form. These concerns include:
- Glabellar lines (also known as “frown lines”): Vertical lines between the eyebrows
- Forehead lines: Horizontal lines that form from raising the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet: The lines that appear at the outer corners of the eyes when smiling or squinting
- Bunny lines: Lines that form on the nose when scrunching
- Chin dimples: Dimples that result from repetitive chin or jaw motion
- Neck bands: Signs of aging in the neck
What Does the DAXXIFY® Treatment Involve?
DAXXIFY® works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to the muscles responsible for facial expressions. This process involves the injection of daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm, a purified protein, into the targeted muscles. By inhibiting the muscle contractions that cause wrinkles, DAXXIFY® can smooth out the skin’s surface, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The innovative peptide formulation in DAXXIFY® – which is known as “Peptide Exchange Technology™” or “PXT” – generally makes for longer results than those of other neuromodulators (i.e. BOTOX® Cosmetic).*
Furthermore, the DAXXIFY® process is generally very quick and painless. After applying a topical aesthetic, we will gently inject the solution into the treatment area with a very fine needle. In most cases, the treatment only takes about half an hour. That said, we generally recommend patients undergo follow-up treatments every six months or so for optimal effects.
What Does the DAXXIFY® Recovery Entail?
After receiving DAXXIFY® injections, it is important to avoid intense physical activity for 24 hours; this can minimize the risk of bruising and swelling. We also advise you to protect your skin from excessive sun exposure and avoid tanning beds for a few days.
Common DAXXIFY® side effects include mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site; however, these typically resolve quickly. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, we encourage you to contact a medical professional. Provided you follow these guidelines, you are likely to enjoy the long-lasting benefits of DAXXIFY®.
