Get Longer-Lasting Wrinkle Relief With Daxxify
If you’ve loved your neurotoxin results but wished they lasted longer, Daxxify is worth exploring. It’s the newest generation of FDA-approved neurotoxin, designed to smooth frown lines and other dynamic wrinkles with results that last significantly longer than Botox, Xeomin, or Jeuveau.
At ULS Aesthetics Lab, Daxxify injections in Corona, CA are offered as part of our neurotoxin lineup for clients who want fewer treatments per year without giving up the natural-looking results they’ve come to expect.
What Is Daxxify?
Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin used to temporarily smooth the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines and other dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement. Like other neurotoxins, it works by relaxing the muscles responsible for creating those lines.
What makes Daxxify different is its formulation. It’s the first neurotoxin to use a novel peptide as its stabilizer instead of human or animal-based proteins, which is one of the reasons its effects can last so much longer.
A Longer-Lasting Botox Alternative
If you love your Botox but hate that it wears off in three months, Daxxify may be the alternative you’ve been looking for. In clinical trials, Daxxify results have been shown to last 6 to 9 months in many patients, potentially two to three times longer than Botox.
That doesn’t mean Daxxify replaces other neurotoxins for everyone. If you’re happy with your Botox, Jeuveau, or Xeomin results, there’s no reason to switch. But for clients who want fewer appointments per year, Daxxify offers a compelling upgrade.
How Daxxify Works
Daxxify works like other neurotoxins, it temporarily blocks the nerve signals that tell facial muscles to contract. When the muscles relax, the skin above smooths out, softening the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. The difference is in the formulation. Daxxify’s toxin is attached to a novel peptide rather than the human-derived or animal-derived proteins used in other neurotoxins. This peptide helps the treatment stay active in the muscle longer, extending results well beyond the standard 3 to 4 months. It’s also the only neurotoxin that can be stored at room temperature, without the refrigeration required for Botox and most other options.
Where Daxxify Can Make a Difference
Daxxify is FDA-approved for treating moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, but it’s also used off-label to address a wide range of concerns across the face. Common treatment areas include:
Frown Lines (“11s”)
The vertical lines between the eyebrows, Daxxify’s primary FDA-approved use.
Forehead Lines
Horizontal lines that appear across the forehead with expression.
Crow’s Feet
Fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes.
Masseter and TMJ
Softens a square jawline and helps relieve tension from jaw clenching or TMJ.
Neck Bands and Neck Tightening
Smooths visible vertical neck bands and helps refine the neckline.
Lip Flip
Subtly rolls the upper lip outward for a fuller-looking appearance without filler.
Gummy Smile
Balances an overactive upper lip to reduce excess gum exposure when smiling.
Brow Lift
Strategic placement can gently lift the brows for a more open, refreshed look.
Downturned Mouth and Chin Peppling
Softens sad-looking mouth corners and smooths dimpled chin texture.
Five Things to Know About Daxxify
1. It’s the Newest Neurotoxin on the Market
Daxxify is part of the family of neurotoxins that includes Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau, but it’s the newest FDA-approved option and the first with a peptide-based formulation.
2. It’s Free of Human and Animal Products
Unlike most other neurotoxins, Daxxify doesn’t contain any human or animal-derived proteins. It’s made using peptides and amino acids instead.
3. It Lasts Significantly Longer
The peptide-based stabilizer helps Daxxify remain effective longer than other neurotoxins. Clinical trials show results lasting 6 to 9 months in many patients.
4. It Can Be Stored at Room Temperature
Botox and many other neurotoxins require refrigeration. Daxxify’s stable formulation doesn’t, a small but important detail that reflects its unique design.
5. It’s Highly Effective in Clinical Trials
One month after injections, 98 percent of trial patients had little or no appearance of frown lines. Long-term studies continue to support its safety and consistency.
What Makes Daxxify Different From Other Neurotoxins?
Every neurotoxin, Botox, Jeuveau, Xeomin, Dysport, and now Daxxify, works in a similar way. But the difference in formulation matters, especially when it comes to how long results last.
In most neurotoxins, the active ingredient is stabilized using proteins like human serum albumin or, in the case of Dysport, cow’s milk protein. Daxxify is unique because it uses a novel peptide as its stabilizer instead. This peptide is what allows Daxxify to stay active in the muscle for significantly longer periods, leading to results that can last two to three times longer than Botox in some patients.
Do Longer-Lasting Results Mean Longer-Lasting Side Effects?
Not necessarily. It’s a fair question, and one many first-time Daxxify clients ask.
In clinical trials, the most frequently reported side effects occurred within one to two weeks post-injection and were of short duration, comparable to the typical experience with other neurotoxins for frown lines. Daxxify has undergone extensive study, with no significant treatment-related side effects observed in large-scale clinical trials, even given its longer duration.
What to Expect at Your Daxxify Appointment
Your appointment starts with a short consultation to understand your goals, review the areas you’d like to address, and confirm whether Daxxify is the right fit. The injections themselves take just a few minutes.
A very fine needle is used to deliver small amounts of Daxxify into the targeted muscles. Most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch, similar to other neurotoxin injections.
There’s no required downtime. Some mild redness or small bumps may appear briefly at the injection sites but usually fade within an hour or two. Results begin to develop within a few days, with full effects visible after about two weeks.
