What is Daxxify®, and How Does it Work?
FDA-approved Daxxify® is a safe and effective injectable treatment option for both men and women who are interested in preventing or reversing frown and forehead lines as well as crow’s feet, downturned mouth corners, and neck bands. Daxxify is also effective for relaxing enlarged facial muscles along the jawline due to teeth grinding and clenching.
Like Botox®, Daxxify® works by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines. It does this by using a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, which is administered through a series of tiny injections. Neuromodulators such as Daxxify work by blocking nerve signals that cause muscles to contract, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
How are Daxxify® and Botox® Different?
One of the main benefits of Daxxify® is its ability to provide longer-lasting results. While the effects of Botox® tend to wear off after a few months, many patients who have received Daxxify® injections have experienced results that last for up to six months or more. Additionally, Daxxify® has a more rapid onset of action than Botox®, with many patients noticing results within just a few days of treatment. Daxxify® is a great choice to accommodate busy lifestyles and work schedules. It’s Ideal for the patient who is looking for longer duration, less maintenance, and improved results throughout the year.
Both treatments are generally well-tolerated and have a low risk of side effects. However, it is important to consult with Dr. West to determine which treatment is right for you.
What Can I Expect During a Daxxify® Treatment?
Before your treatment, Dr. Tina West will carefully assess your muscle movement and treatment goals to determine the most appropriate injection sites.
Daxxify® treatments are typically quick, with most sessions lasting 30 minutes or less. During treatment, a series of small injections are administered to the targeted areas. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or swelling at the injection site, but these side effects generally resolve quickly.
