Daxxify

An Alternative to Botox

Following its FDA approval in 2002, Botox has been the number one brand of botulinum toxin that people have turned to to reduce the effects of aging. Botulinum toxin injections offer safe and consistent results without the need for cosmetic surgery. Many patients are reluctant to start botox treatment because of one, simple reason: the price. However, the world of botulinum toxin injections has changed dramatically with the introduction of Daxxify— the industry’s newest cosmetic solution to aging. We offer an alternative to Botox with Daxxify injections in Long Island.

What Is Daxxify?

Daxxify is the beauty industry’s newest breakthrough in botulinum toxin injections. For the last decade, Revance Therapeutics has conducted clinical trials on Daxxify’s state-of-the-art proprietary peptide formula. Daxxify tackles issues such as crow’s feet and frown lines through the same face-relaxing method as Botox, providing an alternative to the popular medicine.

HOW IT WORKS

Daxxify is administered through small injections in targeted areas of the face. The toxin blocks nerves that control movement in areas of the face that are susceptible to fine lines and the effects of aging. The medicine halts muscle contractions in the face and by doing so, stops aging lines from developing, while softening ones that may already exist.

BENEFITS

Daxxify’s rigorous testing has concluded no adverse side effects for the injectable. Additionally, Daxxify lasts longet than other brands on the market. While Botox injections typically are readministered every three to four months, Daxxify injections can last six months or longer— with immediate results after each appointment.

RESULTS

Daxxify is an ideal choice for people looking to reduce the effects that aging can have on their facial expressions. The treatment is proven to tackle the presence of glabellar lines, crow’s feet, “worry” lines, wrinkles and more.

What’s the Difference Between Daxxify and Botox?

Daxxify is not all that different from Botox. Simply put, they are two brands of the same product, with minor differences in formulation. Both products work the same and are derived from botulinum toxin.

However, in terms of longevity and consistency, Daxxify excels beyond the performance of Botox— offering patients longer-lasting and instantaneous results. Like Botox, the procedure is virtually painless and brings no adverse side effects. Additionally, Daxxify is available at a lower cost than its competitors, making it one of the most enticing injectables on the market.

Who Can Use Daxxify?

Men and women over the age of 18 can safely use Daxxify so long as they don’t have any history of allergic reactions to dermal injections. Speak with us at our Long Island medspa today to see if Daxxify is right for you.

What to Expect Post-Treatment

As you already know, you can expect the results of your Daxxify injections to last up to six months and sometimes longer. Like Botox, remaining consistent with injections is advised in order to maintain your axial appearance. Continued sessions help train the muscles in your face to stay put in a relaxed position, therefore reducing the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.

Post treatment, patients can expect minor bruising or redness around the injection sites, but this typically dissipates quickly. Patients should abstain from alcohol or blood thinners prior to injections to reduce the chances of bruising. It is also noted that laser treatments and intense sunlight are not advised for the days following your injections.

Daxxify Frequently Asked Questions

How is Daxxify different from Botox?
Both are botulinum toxin type A and work the same way: relaxing targeted facial muscles to smooth lines and prevent new ones from forming. The difference is in the formulation. Daxxify uses a proprietary peptide as a stabilizer instead of human serum albumin, which is what gives it its longer duration. Most patients hold Daxxify results for six months or longer compared to the three to four months typical with Botox.

How long does Daxxify last?
Clinical trials showed Daxxify lasting six months on average, with some patients holding results for up to nine months. Individual variation applies: metabolism, muscle strength, and treatment area all affect longevity. First-time patients sometimes metabolize it faster than subsequent treatments as the muscles respond to repeated relaxation over time.

Is Daxxify FDA approved?
Yes. Daxxify received FDA approval for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines: the frown lines between the brows. It is the first botulinum toxin approved with a peptide-based stabilizer.

Does Daxxify hurt?
The injections involve a small needle and feel similar to Botox — a brief pinch at each injection site. Most patients find it very manageable. The appointment itself typically takes under 20 minutes.

When will I see results?
Most patients notice results within one to two days, with full results visible by day five to seven. Daxxify is known for producing visible improvement quickly after treatment.

Who is a good candidate for Daxxify?
Healthy adults over 18 without a history of allergic reactions to botulinum toxin injections. Pregnant or breastfeeding patients are not candidates. Anyone with certain neurological conditions should discuss candidacy with their provider before treatment.

Can I switch from Botox to Daxxify?
Yes. Many patients make the switch specifically because of the longer duration. There is no medical reason you cannot transition from one neuromodulator to another. The consultation is a good time to discuss whether switching makes sense for your treatment goals and schedule.

What should I avoid after Daxxify?
Avoid alcohol, blood thinners, intense sun exposure, and laser treatments for the days following your appointment. Stay upright for four hours after treatment and avoid rubbing or massaging the injection sites for 24 hours. Minor bruising or redness at the injection sites is normal and typically resolves quickly.

Is Daxxify less expensive than Botox?
Daxxify is positioned competitively in the market. Because results last longer, the cost per treatment cycle over the course of a year can compare favorably to Botox even if the per-session price is similar. Your consultation will cover specific pricing based on the areas being treated.
