DAXXIFY®, also known as daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm, is the first peptide-powered, FDA-approved frown line treatment with a median duration of six months and up to nine months for some patients. It is a cutting-edge neuromodulator injectable designed to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. Unlike traditional neuromodulators, Daxxify can often produce longer-lasting results and require fewer treatments for optimal effects. Daxxify was originally developed to combat frown (glabellar) lines; however, it is frequently used to address other dynamic wrinkles, which appear as a result of repetitive facial movements.

Daxxify FAQs
In the hands of a qualified injector, Daxxify can produce benefits such as:
- Long-lasting effects (often up to six months or longer)
- Natural-looking results
- Ability to treat a range of facial areas
- A quick and convenient procedure
- Little to no need for recovery time
The famously versatile Daxxify can be used to treat a variety of facial areas where dynamic wrinkles commonly form. These concerns include:
- Glabellar lines (also known as “frown lines”):Vertical lines between the eyebrows
- Forehead lines: Horizontal lines that form from raising the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet:The lines that appear at the outer corners of the eyes when smiling or squinting
- Bunny lines:Lines that form on the nose when scrunching
- Chin dimples:Dimples that result from repetitive chin or jaw motion
- Neck bands:Signs of aging in the neck
Daxxify works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to the muscles responsible for facial expressions. This process involves the injection of daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm, a purified protein, into the targeted muscles. By inhibiting the muscle contractions that cause wrinkles, Daxxify can smooth out the skin’s surface, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The innovative peptide formulation in Daxxify, which is known as Peptide Exchange Technology or PXT – generally makes for longer results than those of other neuromodulators, such as Botox.
Furthermore, the Daxxify process is generally very quick and painless. After applying a topical aesthetic, we will gently inject the solution into the treatment area with a very fine needle. In most cases, the treatment only takes about half an hour. That said, we generally recommend patients undergo follow-up treatments every six months or so for optimal effects.
After receiving Daxxify injections, it is important to avoid intense physical activity for 24 hours; this can minimize the risk of bruising and swelling. We also advise you to protect your skin from excessive sun exposure and avoid tanning beds for a few days.
Common Daxxify side effects include mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site; however, these typically resolve quickly. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, we encourage you to contact a medical professional. Provided you follow these guidelines, you are likely to enjoy the long-lasting benefits of Daxxify.
