What is the DAXXIFY Difference!
What makes Daxxify such a big deal is the promise of results that last twice as long as Botox when temporarily treating frown lines. In fact, it claims to have longer-lasting results than anything similar on the market!
The science behind Botox treatments has largely remained unchanged over the past 30 years. While they bear slight structural differences, all of the neuromodulators ( Botox, Dysport ) treat dynamic wrinkles by blocking communication between targeted facial muscles and nerve endings for up to 3-4 months.
Revance, however, offers a new alternative: DAXXIFY!
Daxxify is ideal for correcting frown lines in as little as 2 annual treatments and produces results lasting up to 6 months or longer! These injectables achieve such longevity by combining a proprietary stabilizing peptide with purified botulinum toxin, without human or animal-based components.
On average patients attend three to four Botox treatments per year. As Daxxify has longer-lasting results, our patients need as few as two appointments a year.
What is Daxxify?
Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator (a form of botulinum toxin type A) used to temporarily reduce the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines.
It uses a proprietary synthetic peptide (RTP004) as a stabilizer instead of human serum albumin or animal-derived components found in other neuromodulators. This peptide helps the toxin bind more effectively to nerve cells, enhancing uptake and duration. It’s the first (and only) neuromodulator with this peptide technology and is free of human or animal byproducts.
What Is the Difference between Daxxify and BOTOX?
Daxxify and Botox are both botulinum toxin type neuromodulators used to temporarily relax facial muscles and reduce wrinkles, but they differ significantly in formulation, duration, and performance. The primary distinction is longevity: Daxxify typically lasts about 6 months (with results up to 9 months in some patients), roughly twice as long as Botox, which generally lasts 3–4 months. This extended effect comes from Daxxify’s unique peptide-based stabilizer and as a result, Daxxify also tends to have a faster onset of action (often visible within 1–2 days) compared to Botox’s typical 3–7 days.
While both are effective for wrinkle management, their units are not interchangeable, and Botox holds broader FDA approvals for additional cosmetic areas. Overall, Daxxify appeals to patients seeking fewer annual treatments and a “cleaner,” peptide-powered formula, whereas Botox remains the more established option with a longer track record of diverse uses.
Why are Peptides Important?
All frown line treatments require a special ingredient to stabilize botulinum toxin, the protein responsible for helping smooth moderate to severe frown lines. For instance, BOTOX Cosmetic uses human serum albumin (HSA), a blood product, as its stabilizer. Dysport, another frown line treatment, uses HSA as a stabilizer and cow’s milk protein as a protectant. 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.
What is the Skin MD and Beyond Difference?
At Skin MD and Beyond, Drs. Wright have injected more than 2 million units of neuromodulators, including Botox, Daxxify, and Dysport, establishing a level of experience that is unmatched in the region. This extensive expertise translates into unparalleled precision, artistry, and consistently natural-looking results.
Every treatment is customized to the patient’s unique facial anatomy, expressions, and aesthetic goals—ensuring subtle, refined outcomes that enhance your natural beauty rather than altering it. With such a vast depth of knowledge, Drs. Wright anticipate how each product performs across different muscle dynamics and skin types, delivering safe, effective, and beautifully balanced results that our patients trust time and time again!
What is DAXXIFY used for at Skin MD and Beyond in Plano, Texas?
How is DAXXIFY used?
A tiny amount of DAXXIFY is injected into the muscle that creates the dynamic wrinkle. When DAXXIFY is injected into a muscle, it blocks the nerve impulse from reaching the area, and as a result, the muscle relaxes. As the muscle relaxes, the dynamic wrinkle overlying the muscle is smoothed away.
Will it give me a fake, frozen look?
Not if you are treated by an experienced doctor, who will be able to determine the right dose and injection technique for you. The treatment only relaxes the muscles beneath the wrinkle line at the injection site, so the other elements of facial expression remain active. It also has no effect on sensory nerves, so you will have normal feeling in the treated areas.
