Skincare experts are calling Daxxify the new and better Botox for smoothing away wrinkles. The brand-new injectable is exciting in the beauty industry because it is FDA-approved for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines, including severe glabellar lines, and can temporarily improve their appearance thanks to a special ingredient.
Does that mean you should give up your regular Botox appointments and make the switch to Daxxify?
That’s certainly up to you. Keep reading along for all of the information you need, regarding this wonderful new wrinkle-smoother that’s been FDA-approved since September 2022 for glabellar lines and can provide temporary improvement for up to six months.
The Neuromodulator Difference
Botox Cosmetic as well as brands like Dysport and Xeomin are all classified as other neuromodulators, and daxxify has become the “new kid on the block.” When it comes to smoothing wrinkles away, Daxxify is a botulinum toxin and an acetylcholine release inhibitor that blocks acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction to temporarily relax the injected muscles. Individuals can address wrinkles including crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines, with treatment focused on affected muscles and facial muscles in the chosen treatment areas.
Daxxify is promising in the anti-aging arena because of its unique formula and more natural approach. It is a 150 kDa botulinum toxin without accessory proteins, which helps explain how it differs from older formulas. This stops the muscle from contracting.
Daxxify is different because it uses a proprietary peptide formulation to create its wrinkle-smoothing power, whereas traditional other neuromodulators often use human serum albumin or animal proteins for stabilization. Daxxify consists of a more natural formula base.
Better Aesthetic Advantages and Side Effects of Daxxify
Extensive clinical trials have been performed on Daxxify, and there’s great news on several fronts. For one, the new peptide technology has been found to deliver results that last up to six months on average, or about 24 weeks, versus roughly three months for Botox Cosmetic in many patients treated. That gives Daxxify longer-lasting power for many people, though results can vary depending on the individual and treatment area.
The new wrinkle smoother also seems to be a fix for those patients who have developed Botox resistance. It’s readily absorbable because of its stabilizing peptide. Another benefit of Daxxify is its faster onset, with visible changes often appearing in one to two days, while Botox may take ten to fourteen days. That quicker response can mean minimal downtime and a faster return to your usual routine.
Skilled injectors believe that Daxxify doesn’t pull down on the brows when softening the forehead lines. Botox and its cousins all require strategic needle injections to avoid drooping brows. Daxxify can maintain a lifted brow and open eye area without issue, and maintenance may require only two treatment sessions per year, which can mean fewer annual appointments.
Most Revolutionary Beauty Treatment
Neuromodulators such as Botox remain the number one most popular cosmetic treatment worldwide. In the United States alone, 7.4 million people received these injections in 2022. Daxxify is another beauty tool in the Botox toolbox for effectively softening facial lines and wrinkles.
It’s pricier, but for many patients, the results last longer, which means fewer appointments.
Skilled Daxxify Injectors and Patients Treated Matter
When it comes to any aesthetic treatment or procedure, you want to choose wisely. Always look for a board-certified plastic surgeon and practice. A qualified healthcare provider should review the most common side effects, including headache, injection site reactions, and drooping eyelids, before treatment and explain that adverse reactions may also include muscle weakness and vision changes such as blurred vision or double vision. They should also discuss that Daxxify has a theoretical risk of severe allergic reactions, that serious risks can include trouble breathing, difficulty swallowing, and heart attack, and that life threatening complications may require urgent evaluation. Toxin effects from botulinum toxin products can affect areas beyond the injection site, happen hours, days, or weeks after treatment, and patients should seek medical help right away if symptoms suggest a serious condition.
