You’ve probably heard about Daxxify, the latest FDA-approved wrinkle treatment making waves in the aesthetic world. Daxxify promises to deliver an effective, non-surgical wrinkle reduction alternative to popular neurotoxins like Botox® and Dysport®. What exactly is Daxxify, how does it work, and what should you do before your first session?
Daxxify is an injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows—commonly known as glabellar lines. The product uses botulinum toxin type A, the same active ingredient found in popular treatments like Botox® and Dysport®. What sets Daxxify apart is its inclusion of a unique peptide that helps the active ingredient stay attached to nerve endings for a longer period.
The result? Longer-lasting effects. Unlike Botox®, which typically lasts around three to four months, Daxxify can extend the duration of wrinkle reduction for up to four to six months. This makes it a game-changer for those who want fewer appointments and longer-lasting results.
Daxxify is mainly used to treat glabellar lines—those vertical wrinkles between your eyebrows that deepen with age. While it primarily targets this area, many aesthetic providers are exploring its potential to smooth wrinkles in other regions, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and smile lines.
It’s important to note that Daxxify, like other botulinum toxin-based treatments, works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for forming wrinkles. The skin above them smoothens as these muscles relax, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Once you’ve undergone your Daxxify injection session, you can expect to see initial results within a few days, but full effects may take up to one to two weeks. This is typical for botulinum toxin treatments, as it takes some time for the neurotoxin to fully bind to the nerve endings and block the signals that cause muscle contractions.
That said, everyone’s body is different. Some may notice faster results, while others might take closer to the full two weeks. Your aesthetic provider will give personalized advice based on your skin type, muscle activity, and treatment goals.
One of Daxxify’s biggest selling points is its longevity. Traditional neurotoxins like Botox® usually last three to four months before a follow-up session is needed. Daxxify, on the other hand, can last anywhere from four to six months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and how quickly your body processes the toxin.
This longer duration of effect means fewer visits to your aesthetic provider, making it an ideal choice for those who want a longer-lasting solution to wrinkles.
Whether this is your first injectable treatment or you’re transitioning from other neurotoxins, preparing for your Daxxify session is simple. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure you have the best experience possible:
Before your first Daxxify session, you’ll need to schedule a consultation with a licensed aesthetic professional at Medimorph Integrative Aesthetic. This consultation is essential to determine if Daxxify is your choice. Your provider will review your medical history, discuss your treatment goals, and assess your skin’s condition.
Feel free to ask any questions you might have, including how Daxxify compares to other neurotoxins, what to expect during and after treatment, and how to care for your skin post-injection.
In the days leading up to your Daxxify treatment, you’ll want to avoid certain medications and supplements that can thin your blood and increase the risk of bruising. These include:
If you take prescription blood thinners, consult your doctor to determine the best action.
Both alcohol and caffeine can increase your chances of bruising and swelling post-injection. Avoiding these substances for at least 24 to 48 hours before your appointment is a good idea.
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on the day of your treatment. This helps minimize the risk of infection and ensures your provider has a clear view of the areas being treated. Your provider may also cleanse your skin further before the injections to ensure optimal hygiene.
Your Daxxify session will likely take only 15 to 30 minutes, making it a convenient lunchtime treatment. Here’s what typically happens during the session:
Once the treatment is over, you’ll be able to resume your regular activities immediately with little to no downtime.
With Daxxify’s unique formula, which includes a peptide to prolong the effects, you get multiple benefits for wrinkle reduction:
For first-timers, Daxxify provides an excellent introduction to wrinkle-reduction treatments, offering peace of mind that you won’t need constant touch-ups.
If you’re considering Daxxify as your first wrinkle treatment, you may wonder if it fits you best. The good news is that Daxxify is suitable for most people who want to reduce the appearance of glabellar lines or other dynamic wrinkles.
However, certain individuals—such as those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have specific medical conditions—may need to avoid neurotoxin treatments altogether. Always consult with your aesthetic provider to determine if Daxxify is a safe and effective option for you.
Daxxify is an exciting new option in the world of aesthetic treatments. It offers longer-lasting wrinkle reduction with minimal downtime. Whether you’re tired of the upkeep required with other neurotoxins or want to experience smoother, youthful skin for longer, Daxxify could be the perfect solution.
