DAXXIFY® is the first FDA-approved, peptide-powered neurotoxin for treating moderate to severe frown lines. This award-winning formula has gained popularity for people who want to try a little something different as far as their neurotoxin injections. With typically fast and lasting results, DAXXIFY has risen in the tox ranks as a force to be reckoned with.
How does DAXXIFY work?
Like other neuromodulators, DAXXIFY (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is injected into the skin area where frown lines are present. The purified protein, botulinum toxin type A, then puts a temporary halt in specific muscle contractions that cause the frown lines to form, effectively diminishing or even eliminating the lines for several months. In addition to treating frown lines. DAXXIFY can also be used to smooth wrinkles in any other areas as well as an off-label use (typically wherever neurotoxin injections can be used).
How is DAXXIFY different from other neurotoxins?
What sets DAXXIFY apart is that it’s the only frown line treatment powered by a peptide, which means it doesn’t contain any human or animal byproducts. Other neurotoxins require a special ingredient to stabilize the botulinum toxin A, which is the protein responsible for pausing the muscle contractions that cause wrinkles. Other treatments use either human or animal byproducts as stabilizers, while DAXXIFY uses the novel peptide instead. DAXXIFY has also shown promise in providing somewhat longer results than other neurotoxins in some cases.
What is the significance of peptides in DAXXIFY?
Peptides are strings of molecules called amino acids, which are the “building blocks” of proteins. The protein collagen is a source of physiologically active peptides and is one of the main building blocks of your skin, as well as a vital component of your muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues. Incorporating peptides through DAXXIY injections can stimulate the skin to make more collagen, in addition to its muscle-relaxing capabilities. Furthermore, peptides can absorb into the skin and lead to benefits that may include an improved skin barrier, reduction in wrinkles, better elasticity, and reduced inflammation. Basically, think of peptides as messengers for other cells signaling them to produce more collagen and elastin, contributing to the youthful results you crave.
Preguntas Frecuentes
Is DAXXIFY safe?
DAXXIFY was rigorously tested in one of the largest-ever clinical studies that included more than 2,800 people of different ages and skin types. The results of that study showed no serious side effects relating to treatment, and 96% of people stated they were satisfied with their results.

Simply schedule your private consultation at Atlanta Face & Body, and we’ll help you determine if this revolutionary treatment is the right option for you.
Does DAXXIFY have any side effects?
While no serious side effects were reported in the clinical study, the most common side effects associated with DAXXIFY included the potential for swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness around the injection site (much like side effects associated with other neurotoxins). These are typically mild and resolve without intervention. Most patients feel comfortable resuming their normal activities once treatment is done.
When can I expect to see results from DAXXIFY?
Some patients report seeing results as early as the next day after treatment. Typically, most patients saw improvement in two days, with full noticeable results (including improved texture, hydration, and glow) generally occurring about two weeks after treatment. In clinical trials, about 50% of patients still had visible improvement six months after treatment, though the duration of results will depend on the individual patient and other factors. We’ll go over all real expectations at your private consultation.
