Before, During, and After DAXXIFY®
What To Expect Before DAXXIFY®
Before treatment, our skilled professionals will evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and create a customized treatment plan. To minimize the risk of post-treatment bruising or swelling, it is advisable to abstain from alcohol, anti-inflammatories (such as Advil, Motrin, or Aleve), aspirin, and vitamin E for up to a week before your DAXXIFY® procedure.
What To Expect During DAXXIFY®
During your DAXXIFY® treatment, a certified injector carefully administers the product using a fine needle to target specific areas. The procedure is quick, typically taking just a few minutes, and is designed to be virtually painless.
What To Expect After DAXXIFY®
After receiving DAXXIFY® treatment, you might notice mild bruising, which typically fades on its own within a few days. Avoid massaging the treated area to ensure optimal results. Expect to see noticeable improvements shortly after treatment, with effects that can last for up to six months!
Frequently Asked Questions of DAXXIFY®
What Is DAXXIFY Treatment Like?
Like many other neuromodulators, DAXXIFY is a quick “lunchbreak” procedure that requires virtually no downtime. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can resume regular activities immediately.
However, to maximize your results and prevent unwanted spread of your injection, we recommend taking the following precautions for at least 48 hours following treatment:
- Avoid saunas and extreme heat
- Protect your skin from direct sun exposure
- Do not rub or massage the treated area
BOTOX vs. DAXXIFY: What’s the Difference?
DAXXIFY contains a unique peptide that BOTOX and other neurotoxins don’t have. The novel peptide acts as the stabilizing protein, providing faster and longer-lasting results. Unlike other neuromodulators, DAXXIFY stands apart because its innovative peptide-powered solution doesn’t contain human or animal-based components, making it a safe option for vegans.
When Will I See Results After DAXXIFY?
Most patients see results 1 to 2 days following treatment, which is notably faster than BOTOX and other neurotoxins.
How Long Does DAXXIFY Last?
Your DAXXIFY results should last approximately 6 months—nearly twice as long as other neurotoxins, which typically last 3 to 4 months. Results fade when your facial muscles return to their normal function, but you can remain frown-free by scheduling touch-up treatments. In clinical studies, at least 50% of DAXXIFY patients had no minor frown lines 6 months after treatment, and some patients still had noticeable improvement 9 months or later.
How Much Does DAXXIFY Cost?
The cost of your treatment typically depends on how many units of DAXXIFY we administer to achieve your desired results. DAXXIFY usually costs more than other neurotoxin treatments, but keep in mind that your results have more longevity.
What areas of the face can DAXXIFY treat?
It’s commonly used to smooth wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and around the mouth.
Are there any side effects associated with DAXXIFY treatments?
Mild redness or swelling at the injection site may occur, but these effects typically resolve within a day.
How does the unique peptide in DAXXIFY enhance its performance?
The peptide acts as a stabilizing agent, providing DAXXIFY® with longer-lasting results than other neuromodulators.
Can DAXXIFY prevent the formation of new wrinkles over time?
Yes! By relaxing facial muscles, DAXXIFY® not only smooths current lines but also helps to prevent the formation of new ones.
Can DAXXIFY be combined with other cosmetic treatments for enhanced results?
Absolutely! Combining DAXXIFY® with other cosmetic treatments can enhance your results. Many patients pair it with dermal fillers to restore volume and fullness to areas of the face that have lost their shape over time. Others opt for laser treatments to improve skin texture and boost collagen and elastin production. These complementary treatments work together to give you a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
