Daxxify 101: What Are the Benefits of Peptides for Your Skin?
If you search for “How is Daxxify™ different from BOTOX®?” our Madison and Milwaukee-area team knows that you’ll see that one of the main things that differentiates this new treatment option from its predecessor is the fact that it’s the first and only injectable neuromodulator to be made with a peptide-enhanced formula.
Daxxify™ is a popular anti-aging product with a unique formula specifically made to provide long-lasting results, which makes it a popular choice among individuals seeking to improve the appearance of their skin. While the fact that Daxxify™ is made with peptides has been a big selling point, you may be wondering: What exactly are peptides and how do they benefit the skin?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that play a critical role in the formation of proteins that are essential for healthy skin, including collagen, elastin, and keratin. In recent years, peptides have become a popular ingredient in skincare products, with many brands incorporating them into their formulas. This is important since, as we age, our body’s production of collagen and elastin declines.
Peptides can also help to improve the skin’s ability to retain moisture. This is because certain peptides stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally found in the skin and helps to keep it hydrated. Furthermore, peptides have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce redness and inflammation in the skin. They can also promote wound healing and brighten the skin tone.
In the case of Daxxify™, the peptides used in the formula help to make it last longer without the need for harsh chemicals or other potentially harmful ingredients. Botulinum toxin requires an ingredient to help it attach to nerve endings, but unlike BOTOX®, which uses human serum albumin as the carrier, Daxxify™ utilizes peptide exchange technology. The peptide-enhanced formula allows it to remain for a longer time at the neuromuscular junction. Daxxify™ contains 35 amino acids.
Another benefit of the peptide-enhanced Daxxify™ formula is that it is suitable for all skin types. Since peptides occur naturally in the body, they are generally well-tolerated and safe for use in everybody. This makes Daxxify™ a versatile and effective anti-aging product for almost anyone looking to improve the appearance of their skin.
