DAXXIFY® is a long-lasting injectable treatment designed to soften moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows while maintaining a natural, refreshed appearance. Like other neuromodulators, DAXXIFY temporarily reduces the muscle activity that causes expression lines to form and deepen over time.
What makes DAXXIFY different is its peptide-powered formulation and duration. Results can last approximately 4–6 months on average, making it an appealing option for patients who want smoother frown lines with potentially fewer treatments throughout the year.
At Dr. Kaga’s practice in Marlboro and East Brunswick, NJ, DAXXIFY treatments are personalized to your facial anatomy, muscle movement, and aesthetic goals.
How does DAXXIFY® work?
Every time you frown, squint, or make certain facial expressions, the muscles between your eyebrows contract and repeatedly fold the overlying skin. Over time, these movements can contribute to increasingly noticeable fine lines and wrinkles.
DAXXIFY contains daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm, a purified botulinum toxin type A. When carefully injected into targeted muscles, it temporarily reduces the muscle activity responsible for moderate-to-severe frown lines.
As the treated muscles relax, the lines between the brows gradually appear smoother without surgery or significant downtime.
Why choose DAXXIFY®?
One of the biggest reasons patients choose DAXXIFY is its longevity. While the duration varies from patient to patient, DAXXIFY is designed to provide longer-lasting correction of frown lines, with results lasting approximately four to six months on average.
Benefits of DAXXIFY may include:
- Smoother moderate-to-severe frown lines
- Results that may last approximately 4–6 months
- A quick, minimally invasive treatment
- No required downtime
- Treatment customized to your facial movement and anatomy
- A peptide-powered formulation without human serum albumin
Dr. Kaga can help determine whether DAXXIFY or another neuromodulator is better suited to your goals and previous injectable experience.
How is DAXXIFY® different from other neuromodulators?
DAXXIFY belongs to the same general category of injectable treatments as BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and Xeomin®, but the products aren’t identical.
DAXXIFY is distinguished by its proprietary peptide-based formulation. It does not contain human serum albumin or animal-derived components in its formulation. It is also known for its longer duration, which may be particularly appealing to patients who prefer more time between treatments.
There isn’t one neuromodulator that’s best for everyone. Your muscle strength, anatomy, previous treatment experience, desired degree of movement, and how your body responds can all influence which injectable is most appropriate.
What areas can DAXXIFY® treat?
DAXXIFY is FDA-approved for the temporary improvement of moderate-to-severe glabellar lines, commonly known as frown lines or “11 lines,” in adults. These lines develop between the eyebrows and can become increasingly visible after years of repeated facial movement.
During your consultation, Dr. Kaga will evaluate your face at rest and in motion to determine the appropriate treatment plan for your concerns.
Am I a candidate for DAXXIFY®?
DAXXIFY may be appropriate for adults who are bothered by moderate-to-severe frown lines and want a non-surgical injectable treatment. There’s no universal age when you need to begin neuromodulator treatment. Some patients start when expression lines first become noticeable, while others seek treatment after lines have become more established.
Rather than treating based on age alone, Dr. Kaga considers your facial anatomy, muscle activity, existing lines, medical history, and aesthetic goals.
What can I expect during treatment?
Your appointment begins with an assessment of your facial movement and the lines you’d like to improve. Dr. Kaga will determine the appropriate injection points and dose based on your individual anatomy.
DAXXIFY is administered using a very fine needle, and most patients describe the injections as brief pinches. Treatment itself takes only a few minutes, and there is typically no required downtime.
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising around the injection sites may occur. You’ll receive specific aftercare instructions following your appointment.
When will I see results and how long will they last?
DAXXIFY begins working relatively quickly. Some patients may notice changes as early as the first day or two, with results continuing to develop afterward. One of DAXXIFY’s distinguishing features is its duration. Results can last approximately four to six months on average, although your individual experience may vary based on factors such as muscle strength, dose, treatment area, and your body’s response.
Dr. Kaga can recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule based on how your results develop rather than automatically treating at a fixed interval.
Will DAXXIFY® make me look frozen?
The goal isn’t to eliminate every facial expression. Natural-looking neuromodulator treatment depends on thoughtful placement and dosing. Dr. Kaga customizes treatment according to how your individual facial muscles move, allowing her to soften unwanted frown lines while preserving appropriate facial expression and balance.
The goal is simple: to help you look refreshed, not different.
