What is Daxxify™?
Daxxify™ (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is a protein derived from a bacterial byproduct called botulinum toxin type A. Daxxify™ works on the muscles that cause facial animation, resulting in lines in the upper portion of your face such as frown lines, crow’s feet and horizontal forehead lines. Once the muscles are relaxed, the skin has time to smooth out wrinkles. Daxxify™ differs from other neuromodulators on the market due to its increased longevity. In clinical studies, patients saw results for six to nine months after treatment with Daxxify™. Dr. Hooper and Dr. Jackson are experts in the most up to date and innovative ways to combine Daxxify™ with topical and cosmetic treatment modalities to achieve and maintain youthful, natural rejuvenation.
Am I a candidate for Daxxify™?
Daxxify™ is recommended for men and women who want to prevent or treat wrinkles between the eyebrows, but can be injected “off label” by a skilled physician to treat unwanted wrinkles and overactive muscles over many areas of the face. If you have a history of adverse reactions to Daxxify™ or other neuromodulators, please let our doctors know so that we can recommend alternative injectable products.
How is a Daxxify™ treatment performed?
Daxxify™ is pre-loaded in a sterile syringe and injected into the muscle by one of our physicians. We use the tiniest needles to ensure the most comfortable experience for our patients. Multiple injections are made into the appropriate muscles that are causing wrinkles. Most patients find the procedure tolerable, but we can numb the area prior to the injections if you are particularly sensitive to needles and injections. The entire procedure will take 15 to 30 minutes.
What is recovery like after a Daxxify™ treatment?
You may experience mild redness, localized swelling or slight tenderness at the injection site after Daxxify™ injections, but no downtime or recovery is expected.
How long do results from a Daxxify™ treatment last?
The anti aging benefits of a Daxxify™ injection treatment can last six to nine months, but this does vary from patient to patient. Treatment to highly active muscles may wear off more quickly. Maximum results are achieved by maintaining repeated and timely Daxxify™ injections in combination with proper skin care.
