Long-lasting wrinkle softening with fewer appointments—that’s the appeal of DAXXIFY. If you’ve ever felt like your neuromodulator maintenance schedule doesn’t match your lifestyle, or you’re searching for an option that stays smooth longer than Botox or Dysport, DAXXIFY may be the right fit.
Beverly Friedlander MD in Short Hills, New Jersey, performs DAXXIFY as part of her curated nonsurgical aesthetic services. As a board-certified plastic surgeon with decades of expertise in facial anatomy and injectables, she uses this advanced injectable to help patients maintain refreshed results with less frequent visits.
What Is DAXXIFY?
DAXXIFY is an FDA-approved neuromodulator designed to soften expression lines by relaxing the muscles that create them. Its formula contains a stabilized peptide, which helps extend longevity—often around six months, and in some patients, even longer.
Like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, DAXXIFY works by blocking the nerve signals that cause repetitive movements. Where it differs is in how long it lasts and how quickly you may see results, with improvements appearing in as little as one to two days. Unlike the others, DAXXIFY contains no animal products. Many patients also report an improvement in skin appearance.
DAXXIFY vs. Botox
Both treatments fall into the neuromodulator category, but DAXXIFY offers some notable advantages:
- Faster onset of results, often within 48 hours
- Longer-lasting smoothing, which was reported as long as 6 months during the FDA trials with larger doses. Daxxify seems to last a bit longer than Botox with similar dosing and may provide added benefit for those who are Botox resistant.
- Vegan formula with no human or animal-derived components
Patients who want fewer appointments each year or who haven’t had ideal longevity with other neuromodulators often find DAXXIFY to be a strong alternative.
What DAXXIFY Can Treat
DAXXIFY may help improve:
- Frown lines (“11s”)
- Forehead creases
- Crow’s feet
- Downturned corners of the mouth
- Subtle brow descent
- Lip line movement (as a lip-flip alternative)
It is FDA-approved for glabellar lines but is frequently used in the same areas as Botox to refine multiple facial regions when performed by an experienced injector.
Who Is a Candidate?
You may be a candidate for DAXXIFY if you:
- Want longer-lasting wrinkle reduction
- Prefer fewer maintenance visits each year
- Have moderate to deeper expression lines
- Wish to use a vegan product
- Have tried Botox or Dysport and have not seen the longevity you had hoped for
- Are in good health with no active skin infections
- Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
During your consultation, Dr. Bev will evaluate your movement patterns, expression habits, and goals to determine whether DAXXIFY or another neuromodulator is the better option.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your skin is cleansed, and numbing may be applied for comfort. Using a fine needle, Dr. Bev places small, precise injections into the muscles contributing to your lines. The appointment typically takes less than 20–30 minutes.
Since all neurotoxins work in the same fashion, you will experience a gradual onset of effect similar to that seen in this video demonstrating Botox to the glabella, only faster.
There is essentially NO downtime, so you can return to your day immediately. Minor redness or swelling is possible but brief.
Results and Aftercare
After your treatment, please avoid:
- Heavy workouts for a few hours
- Rubbing or massaging the treated area
- Excessive heat immediately after treatment
Most patients begin seeing changes within one to two days. Full smoothing typically develops over the next week. Results commonly last 3-4 months, although some patients can see up to six months improvement with larger doses.
