Discovering the Power of DAXXIFY: Your Guide to a New Neurotoxin Option

DAXXIFY, also known as daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm or "DAXI," is an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin designed to treat glabellar lines, those pesky frown lines between the eyebrows. Similar to other popular injectable neurotoxins like BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau®, DAXXIFY temporarily blocks nerve signals to the treated muscles, resulting in a softening of expression lines caused by repetitive muscle contractions.

What sets DAXXIFY apart is its unique formulation. It combines the power of a purified botulinum toxin type A protein with an attached protein, which helps extend the effects of DAXXIFY on the treated muscles. Clinical trials have shown that DAXXIFY can deliver results that last between 6 to 9 months, potentially lasting 2 to 3 times longer than BOTOX for certain patients.

Moreover, what sets DAXXIFY apart is its groundbreaking formulation. It is the first injectable neurotoxin to incorporate a unique peptide stabilizer, guaranteeing that it is free from any human or animal byproducts. This innovation reinforces the safety and purity of DAXXIFY, making it an excellent choice for individuals seeking a reliable and ethical treatment option.

Pros and Cons of DAXXIFY:

Advantages of DAXXIFY over other neurotoxins:

Longer-lasting effects: Enjoy the benefits of longer-lasting results with DAXXIFY, reducing the need for frequent injection appointments to maintain your desired look.

Potential solution for BOTOX resistance: If you have experienced diminished effects from BOTOX due to resistance, DAXXIFY may offer a viable alternative with its unique neurotoxin formula.

Disadvantages of DAXXIFY compared to other neurotoxins:

Irreversible effects: Like other neurotoxin treatments, the effects of DAXXIFY cannot be reversed. It's crucial to have a clear understanding of the potential impact on your appearance and consider starting with shorter-lived options until you're confident in your desired results.

Longer waiting time for side effects to fade: In the event of an unwanted outcome like eyelid sagging (ptosis) with DAXXIFY, it may take more time for the side effect to diminish. However, limited data from clinical trials suggest that negative side effects do not persist significantly longer than those of BOTOX. Selecting a highly trained injector is essential to minimize risks.

For the best care and optimal results, we strongly recommend choosing a practice led by a board-certified cosmetic surgeon. This ensures that you receive the highest quality of care, prioritizing your safety and delivering beautiful outcomes.

FAQ

What is Daxxify?

DAXXIFY® is FDA approved to smooth moderate to severe lines between the brows. It is the only frown line treatment powered by a peptide. The active ingredient in DAXXIFY® is a purified protein called botulinum toxin type A.

Is Daxxify for me?

DAXXIFY® could be for you if you would like to improve the look of your frown lines with a product that’s fast-acting, long-lasting and delivers a smooth look. Houston Dermatology and Plastic Surgery offer Daxxify. Call today to book an appointment.

Why does Daxxify have a peptide?

All frown line treatments require a special ingredient to stabilize botulinum toxin A, the protein responsible for helping smooth moderate to severe frown lines. For instance, Botox® Cosmetic uses human serum albumin (HSA), a blood product, as its stabilizer. Dysport®, another frown line treatment, uses HSA as a stabilizer and cow’s milk protein as a protectant. DAXXIFY® is unique because it is the only formulation that uses a novel peptide as a stabilizer and does not contain human or animal byproducts.

How is DAXXIFY® different from other frown line treatments?

DAXXIFY® is the only frown line treatment powered by a peptide. It’s fast acting, long lasting and slow to wear off.* All frown line treatments require a special ingredient to stabilize botulinum toxin A, the protein responsible for helping smooth moderate to severe frown lines. For instance, Botox® Cosmetic uses human serum albumin (HSA), a blood product, as its stabilizer. Dysport®, another frown line treatment, uses HSA as a stabilizer and cow’s milk protein as a protectant. DAXXIFY® is unique because it is the only formulation that uses a novel peptide as a stabilizer and does not contain human or animal byproducts.

Will I need the same number of Units as my current frown line treatment?

In short, no, and here’s why. Units are like fingerprints—they are a proprietary measurement of a treatment’s unique potency. Because of the differences in how treatments are formulated and tested, you cannot compare or convert Units between them, just like you cannot compare 2 fingerprints. A clearer way to understand dosing is to look at how many nanograms of active ingredient (botulinum toxin type A) a product has. Double the Units does not mean double the dose.

Where is DAXXIFY® made?

DAXXIFY® is manufactured in California, and the only prescription frown line treatment made in the United States. Conventional frown line treatments are manufactured in other countries, then imported into the United States.

How was DAXXIFY® created?

In 2002, physicians and entrepreneurs founded a start-up in Silicon Valley, California to explore the use of peptides in biologics for different therapeutic uses. Their goal was to utilize peptides to transport biologics, typically large molecules, through the skin. The initial idea was to formulate botulinum toxin type A, the active ingredient in DAXXIFY®, with a peptide to see if it could be applied topically to the skin to treat crow’s feet wrinkles. Through this process, scientists discovered that the formulation was optimally administered through injection. Several clinical studies were created to determine the correct dose for an injectable product that would treat frown lines.

Is DAXXIFY® safe?

DAXXIFY® was studied in the largest-ever clinical study for a frown line treatment and included more than 2,800 people across different ages and skin types

How often will I need to get DAXXIFY®?

If you’re like most people, you probably get a frown line treatment around twice a year. But here’s the thing: conventional treatments only last 3–4 months. If you are not able to get treated every 3-4 months, that means you may spend the next 2-3 months of the year with those frown lines staring back at you between treatments. That’s up to 4-6 months of total wear off time per year! I

Will I see results quickly with Daxxify?

You may see results with DAXXIFY® as early as the next day after treatment, and typically within two days.
