Daxxify

The creation of Daxxify® had its origins in a Silicon Valley start-up established in 2002 by a group of physicians and entrepreneurs. Their primary focus was to explore the potential of peptides in biologics for various therapeutic applications. Their initial objective was to use peptides as carriers for biologics, which are typically large molecules, allowing them to penetrate the skin effectively.

The initial idea was to develop a formulation that combined botulinum toxin type A, the active ingredient in Daxxify®, with a peptide for the topical treatment of wrinkles. During this development process, researchers discovered that the optimal method of administration was through injection. Multiple clinical studies were conducted to then determine the correct dosage. We like to say ‘dosage = duration’.

About Daxxify

At Flawless MedSpa, Melanie Speed, APRN, NP-C, CANS, offers Daxxify, an injectable neuromodulator that temporarily smooths moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Unlike other similar treatments, it’s the only one powered by a peptide, which helps its effects last longer. Many patients experience results for up to six months, with some seeing benefits for as long as nine months. This makes Daxxify a great option for those seeking a longer-lasting solution with fewer required appointments.

Daxxify® is the latest FDA-approved neurotoxin treatment designed to smooth moderate to severe lines. Thanks to the inclusion of a peptide, it is the longest lasting of any neurotoxin treatment. On average, the effects of Daxxify® last twice as long as with other neurotoxins—for many patients, approximately 6 months, with some rare individuals experiencing results that can endure for up to 9 months.

There is an ingredient in Daxxify® that is a protein called botulinum toxin type A. This protein is a key component of the treatment and is responsible for its ability to address and reduce frown lines, helping patients achieve a smoother and more youthful appearance in the treated area(s).

Formulation

All neurotoxin treatments require a special ingredient to stabilize botulinum toxin A, the protein responsible for helping pause muscle movement to stop lines and wrinkles. Daxxify’s proprietary peptide is also responsible for the unique glow many patients experience with Daxxify treatment.

Daxxify® vs. other wrinkle treatments

Daxxify® is the only long-lasting treatment powered by a peptide. Results last on average 6 months and up to 9 months for a small group. Daxxify® is unique because it is the only formulation that uses a novel peptide as a stabilizer and does not contain human or animal byproducts.

Manufacturing

Daxxify is manufactured in California, making it the only neurotoxin treatment proudly produced in the United States. This distinction highlights the domestically produced nature of Daxxify® as a unique feature in the field of frown line treatments.

Daxxify is a neuromodulator that temporarily reduces the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Daxxify differs from other neuromodulators primarily in its duration of effect. While traditional neuromodulators typically last for three to four months, Daxxify is designed to provide results for up to six months.

In short, no, and here’s why. Because of the differences in how treatments are formulated and tested, you cannot compare or convert Units between the different neurotoxins, just like you cannot compare 2 fingerprints.

Results

With Daxxify, you can anticipate seeing results relatively quickly, compared to other neurotoxins. In many cases, patients notice the effects as early as the day following their treatment, and typically within two days. The rapid onset of results is one of the advantages of this treatment, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of smoother skin and reduced lines and wrinkles shortly after the procedure. However, it’s important to keep in mind that individual experiences may vary, and your Flawless Injector can provide you with more specific information regarding what to expect based on your unique situation.

Typically, you can expect to see results from Daxxify within 24-48 hours of treatment. The full effects of the medication will become apparent within a week.
