Dynamic wrinkles between the eyebrows can prevent you from looking your best, creating a constant frown. Daxxify® is a next-generation neurotoxin, standing in a league of its own with its novel formula. Relying on peptides instead of human or animal compounds, it enjoys more stability and efficiency compared to older-generation neurotoxins. At Cosmetica Anti-Aging, Aesthetic Lasers, and Weight Loss Clinic, we offer Daxxify® treatments for those who want a frown-free face.
Who Benefits from the Daxxify® Treatment?
Daxxify® benefits healthy adults looking to either treat or prevent moderate to severe glabellar lines. It’s a better alternative to BOTOX® Cosmetic for those who notice faster dissipation with other neurotoxins. Below are some situations that could make someone an ideal candidate:
- You have visible “11” lines between your eyebrows, even when your face is at rest
- You prefer a formula without any animal or human-derived stabilizers
- You tried other neuromodulators, and they didn’t have the desired effect
- You seek a preventative treatment option to address deeply etched expression lines
- You are a busy professional who can’t make it to appointments every few months
- You want predictable smoothing without looking “frozen” or “done”
This treatment may not be suitable for you if you are sensitive to botulinum toxin and other similar formulas. It’s a semi-permanent solution, which makes it preferable for those who have realistic expectations.
Request an AppointmentHow Daxxify® Works
Daxxify® is a neurotoxin based on botulinum toxin type A, approved by the FDA to address moderate to severe lines between the eyebrows. The injectable stands out as the only product that uses peptides as a stabilizer, unlike others that rely on human or animal by products. Once injected, it blocks the nerve signals that trigger contraction in the muscle, allowing the skin to naturally smooth out.
Daxxify® is formulated with specialized peptides that act like a magnet and effectively bind to the nerve endings. This allows the active ingredients to maintain their activity longer than traditional neurotoxins, without increasing the dosage. It also offers faster visible improvement that lets patients enjoy their results for longer.
What Can You Expect from the Recovery?
Daxxify® has a short recovery time with minimal to no downtime, but some side effects can be expected. This includes mild redness and swelling in the treatment area, followed by potential bruising at the injection site. Headaches can also occur in the first 24 hours if you are sensitive. Most should fade within the next one to three days.
It’s best to avoid lying down for the first four hours after the appointment and avoid strenuous exercise for the next 24 to 48 hours. Refrain from hot tubs, saunas, and direct sun exposure, as the heat can exacerbate the swelling. Washing your face gently is allowed in the first 24 hours, but do not rub or massage the treated area.
Use cold packs to alleviate any potential swelling or redness, if needed. Gentle, mineral-based makeup can also be used a few hours after the treatment, but make sure to use clean brushes and avoid pressure.
When Do Results Appear?
Daxxify® is known to be faster compared to other formulas, with most patients noticing improvement as early as six days. However, noticeable changes occur by the fifth to the seventh day, when the muscle activity decreases. Some clients also see a glow to their skin, which is an effect of the peptide formula. Peak results are set around two weeks, but some with higher resistance can take up to four.
The results from Daxxify® can last about six months, or even up to nine months in some cases. The patient’s expression becomes natural as the wrinkles soften. Due to the longevity of the results, most people need only two maintenance treatments every year. Make sure to wear sunblock regularly to prevent premature aging and make the most of the results.

FAQs
How Does Daxxify® Compare to Other Injectables such as BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport®?
Daxxify® is different from other neuromodulators because it uses peptides as a stabilizing agent. It’s the first and only neurotoxin formulated this way, which contrasts with BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® that use animal or human byproducts. This makes it an appealing option for those who seek a vegan-friendly option.
Is Daxxify® Suitable for Every Skin Type and Age?
Daxxify® addresses moderate to severe lines between the eyebrows and works for several skin types. It’s suitable for those seeking a rejuvenated appearance and smoother skin. A consultation will help determine whether Daxxify® is right for you.
How Long Does the Daxxify® Treatment Take?
Daxxify® sessions are generally efficient and quick, lasting no more than 15 to 30 minutes. This makes it the perfect lunchtime treatment for those with a busy schedule. Still, the procedure duration depends on the size of the treatment area and the number of injections needed.
Are the Results from Daxxify® Reversible?
The effect of the neurotoxin cannot be reversed once injected. However, the results are temporary and gradually fade within the next few months. It’s important to discuss with our team before the injections to make sure no reversals are needed.
Does Daxxify® Come with Downtime?
Daxxify® injections come with little to no downtime. Most individuals can resume their daily routine immediately. Some symptoms, such as mild redness and swelling at the injection site, are normal, but they subside within a few hours. We will instruct you on how to care for the area
for optimal healing.
How Long Should I Wait Between Touch-Up Daxxify® Treatments?
The time between Daxxify® maintenance treatments depends on personal goals and physiology. For the most part, sessions are scheduled once every six to nine months. Our team will help you find the ideal follow-up treatment to make the most of your results.
