What Is Daxxify™?
While many patients appreciate the quick and effective results neuromodulators provide, the need for regular maintenance treatments can sometimes feel like a commitment they’d rather avoid. For those looking to enjoy smoother skin with fewer appointments throughout the year, longer-lasting options like Daxxify™ offer a convenient alternative without sacrificing results.
Daxxify™ is an injectable neuromodulator, which is a medication that prevents contractions in specifically targeted muscles. By relaxing the facial muscles responsible for causing frown lines to develop and deepen, Daxxify™ can help the face to appear younger and refreshed.
The active ingredient is a form of botulinum toxin, which has been used for decades in the health industry for both medical and cosmetic purposes. When injected into muscles, it inhibits the release of a chemical messenger that triggers contractions.
Unlike similar injectable treatments, Daxxify™ is made with peptides, which means it can be stored at room temperature. Some patients find that to make for a more comfortable treatment experience. This injectable can help you feel more confident and radiant by smoothing away wrinkles that might make you look tired or stressed.
What Can Daxxify™ Treat?
Daxxify™ targets dynamic wrinkles, which are facial lines created by repetitive muscle contractions. When you knit your brows together in confusion, scowl, or squint, the skin above the nose and between the eyebrows is pushed into creases. Over time, these creases become increasingly noticeable. Left untreated, they can stay visible even when the skin is at rest.
The FDA approved Daxxify™ specifically to treat these wrinkles between the brows, known as glabellar lines or frown lines. Many people also refer to them as 11’s—because the wrinkles typically develop as two short, vertical lines right next to each other, resembling the number 11. This treatment is also being used off-label in the same areas as other off-label areas.
What Can You Expect from a Daxxify™ Session in St. Louis?
The West County Plastic Surgeons team is highly trained and experienced in administering a wide range of aesthetic treatments, including injectables and—specifically—neuromodulators. Every effort is made to create a welcoming and safe environment, as well as to maximize patient comfort.
Injection sessions are brief, with the treatments themselves requiring no more than 15 minutes to administer. Each injection is quick, and many people compare the feeling to a brief pinch.
What Happens After Daxxify™ Injections?
No downtime is required after a Daxxify™ session, so patients can return to whatever they need to do with their day as soon as they’d like.
Side effects can be expected, but they are typically very minor: slight swelling at the treatment site, redness, itching, and other injection-related effects. All are easily managed and will resolve in a short amount of time following a treatment.
Avoid pressing, rubbing, or putting pressure on the treatment area in the days following a session in order to keep the medication as close to the injection site as possible. Also, avoid lying flat or engaging in heavy cardio exercise for three to four hours after a treatment.
It can take a few days for the results of a Daxxify™ treatment to become visible, and a little longer for the full effect to develop. Patients who choose this injectable can enjoy relaxed frown lines for up to five to six months on average!
The timeline is ideal for anyone who wants to look refreshed, but who wants to minimize their maintenance treatments. The Daxxify™ duration of effects means patients can see lasting results with fewer sessions each year.
Daxxify™ is ideal for adults who want to smooth dynamic wrinkles, like frown lines, without frequent maintenance. If you're looking for long-lasting results with fewer maintenance treatments, this injectable may be a great fit. Good candidates are generally in good health, have realistic expectations, and are looking for a non-surgical way to refresh their appearance. It’s also a great option if you've tried other neuromodulators and are curious about a longer-acting alternative.
Daxxify™ may also be a great option for individuals who are concerned about developing resistance to traditional neuromodulators. Because it’s stabilized with a peptide instead of proteins or other additives, this injectable is considered a “pure” formulation. This can be beneficial for patients who’ve used other neurotoxins in the past and may have developed antibodies that make those treatments less effective over time. If you’re looking for a clean, innovative alternative with fewer stabilizing ingredients, Daxxify™ might be the right fit for you.
One important consideration with Daxxify™ is its staying power—if you're not completely satisfied with the injection pattern or how it looks, the effects may last longer than other neuromodulators. That’s why it’s especially important to work with an experienced injector who understands your aesthetic goals and can tailor the treatment to your preferences.
Daxxify™ is also a great option for those who prefer clean or vegan-friendly beauty products. Unlike some other injectables, this neuromodulator is formulated without any human or animal byproducts, making it an appealing choice for ethically minded individuals. If you value transparency in ingredients and are committed to a vegan lifestyle, Daxxify™ aligns with those principles while still delivering powerful, long-lasting results. During your consultation, our experienced providers will assess your goals and help determine if Daxxify™ is the right solution for your unique needs.
West County Plastic Surgeons offers other wrinkle-relaxing neuromodulators in addition to Daxxify™, including Xeomin® (approved for treating frown lines) and BOTOX® (approved for treating frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet).
The makers of Daxxify™ also created the RHA® Collection, featuring dermal fillers designed to add volume where needed in the face, especially in high-motion areas such as around the mouth. Other dermal fillers available include Radiesse® and the Juvéderm® collection. Many of these injectable treatments can be combined in order to create synergistic effects for overall facial rejuvenation.
While neuromodulators work by relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles—like frown lines and crow’s feet—dermal fillers are used to restore volume and smooth out deeper folds or hollows in the face. Fillers like these are ideal for areas where skin has thinned or lost elasticity, such as the cheeks, nasolabial folds, or lips. Unlike Daxxify™, which targets muscle movement, fillers physically plump and support the skin’s structure. Many patients choose to combine this neuromodulator with fillers for a more comprehensive, natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
For even more dramatic results, patients can choose plastic surgery, such as a facelift, brow lift, upper eyelid lift, or lower eyelid lift. These surgical procedures are often the best choice for individuals with significant skin laxity, deep wrinkles, or drooping tissues that non-surgical treatments can’t fully address. While options like neuromodulators and dermal fillers offer excellent results with little to no downtime, they are generally more subtle and temporary. Cosmetic surgery, on the other hand, can provide more comprehensive and long-lasting rejuvenation, making it ideal for those seeking a more transformative outcome or who want to avoid the upkeep of repeated injectable treatments.
