. While it uses the same active ingredient as Botox (botulinum toxin type A), it is formulated with a unique peptide stabilizer instead of human or animal-based proteins. This formulation allows the toxin to adhere more effectively to nerve receptors, significantly extending its duration.DAXXIFY is a "next-generation" neuromodulator designed to smooth moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles
What DAXXIFY Does
- Relaxes Muscles: It temporarily blocks nerve signals to specific facial muscles, preventing them from contracting and creasing the skin.
- Smooths Wrinkles: It is FDA-approved for glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows). It is also used "off-label" for forehead lines, crow’s feet, and neck bands.
- Long-Lasting Results: Results typically last 6 months on average, with some patients maintaining effects for up to 9 months—roughly double the lifespan of traditional Botox.
- Fast Onset: Many patients see results within 1–2 days, compared to the 3–7 days often required for other neuromodulators.
Ideal Candidates
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Seek Longevity: Want to reduce clinic visits to just twice a year.
- Are a "Fast Metabolizer": Have found that other toxins (like Botox or Dysport) wear off too quickly.
- Prefer Vegan Options: DAXXIFY is the first and only peptide-powered toxin that contains no human or animal byproducts.
- Are Experienced with Toxins: Experts often recommend DAXXIFY for those who already know they like the "frozen" or relaxed look, as the results are a longer-term commitment.
Who should avoid it? Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a history of allergies to botulinum toxin, or have certain neuromuscular disorders like ALS or myasthenia gravis.
Post-Treatment Aftercare
There is no significant downtime, but following these steps ensures optimal results and prevents the product from shifting:
- Stay Upright: Avoid lying down for at least 4 hoursafter injection.
- Hands Off: Do not rub, massage, or apply pressure to the treated area for 24 hours.
- Exercise Break: Avoid strenuous workouts for 12–24 hours to minimize swelling and migration risk.
- Skip the Heat: Avoid saunas, hot tubs, and direct sun exposure for 48 hours.
- Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from alcohol, aspirin, or ibuprofen for 24 hours to reduce bruising.
