What is Daxxify?

Daxxify, by Revance Therapeutics Inc., is one of the more recent and innovative wrinkle relaxers approved by the FDA. This neurotoxin option is another non-surgical way to temporarily soften the look of expression-related wrinkles, specifically targeting dynamic wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes.

How it works.

Daxxify uses a peptide as the stabilizer, which is not animal—or human-based. Botox Cosmetic uses human serum albumin (HSA), which is a blood product. Dysport also uses HSA and a cow milk protein as a protectant. In addition to the formula, Daxxify is known to have a quicker onset, typically kicking in 24-48 hours after treatment.

Things to Keep In Mind for Treatment

  1. Please arrive for your appointment with a clean face and without makeup.
  2. Avoid alcohol and smoking 24 hours before Botox treatment to minimize bruising from the procedure.
  3. Avoid unnecessary blood-thinning medications (e.g. NSAIDs like ibuprofen).
  4. Please notify your provider if you are currently on or have recently taken any antibiotics, as certain medications can affect treatment results.
  5. Neurotoxin treatments are not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding patients.

Daxxify FAQs
  • How does Daxxify compare to other neurotoxin treatments?

    Daxxify uses a peptide as the stabilizer, which is not animal—or human-based. Botox Cosmetic uses human serum albumin (HSA), a blood product. Dysport also uses HSA and a cow milk protein as a protectant. In addition to the formula, Daxxify is known to have a quicker onset, typically kicking in 24-48 hours after treatment.

  • How many Daxxify units will I need?

    The number of injections will always be personalized to your skin goals. The best way to determine the proper number of units is to come for a complimentary consultation. Our Expert Injectors evaluate facial muscle strength and desired treatment areas to determine the appropriate dosage to achieve your desired results.

  • How long does it take to get Daxxify?

    Daxxify injections are quick, taking anywhere from 15-30 minutes. First, the licensed Expert Injector will identify where to administer each injection. Then, using a tiny micro-needle, a small amount of the Daxxify serum is precisely injected into targeted facial muscles. It usually takes less than five minutes per facial area, but this varies based on how severe your wrinkles are and the region’s size.

  • What are the post-treatment guidelines for Daxxify?

    After treatment, patients may experience redness or slight bruising around the injection area. Normal daily activities can be resumed immediately following treatment. However, it would be best to remain upright four hours after treatment. Patients should refrain from exercising for 24 hours and avoid applying any pressure to the injection areas for five hours post-treatment.

  • When will I see the results of Daxxify?

    Some patients see results within two days of treatment, but full results can take up to 14 days. This is a large differentiator between Daxxify and other neurotoxins like Botox and Dysport, whose results take 3-5 days to kick in.

  • How long will results last?

    The results of Daxxify injections may vary from person to person. Generally, the active ingredient lasts a little longer than Botox and Dysport. Treatment results will vary depending on how the patient metabolizes the product.
