What Are the Advantages of Daxxify™?
What is Daxxify™ used for? In Madison, WI, and nearby areas, patients may have heard about this new injectable—but may not be sure exactly how it could benefit them or what differentiates it from other, traditional neuromodulator treatments.
Some of the first signs of aging we tend to notice on our face are known as dynamic wrinkles, which are associated with facial muscle movements and are visible when our faces are animated during expressions. Often, the best way of treating these wrinkles is with cosmetic injectables that temporarily soften the appearance of the lines for a smoother, more refreshed look that lasts for several months.
Although you may know some of the basics of Daxxify™, you might be unsure about who this treatment is intended for and whether there’s any difference between it and other neuromodulators. If you’re thinking about trying Daxxify™, here are some of the major benefits associated with the advanced wrinkle relaxer:
It Softens Glabellar Lines
Just like the other neuromodulators, Daxxify™ contains botulinum toxin as its primary active ingredient. This allows it to reduce the appearance of motion-related wrinkles that develop in the upper third of the face. Daxxify™ is specifically approved for treating moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines), which are vertical creases that form between the eyebrows. Just like BOTOX® and similar neurotoxins, Daxxify™ blocks nerve signals to the muscles to prevent them from contracting.
It Does Not Contain Human or Animal Products
Daxxify™ is considered appropriate for vegans, and patients may be less likely to develop a “resistance” to it, because it does not contain human serum albumin, associated proteins, or animal-based products.
It Provides Lasting Results
Perhaps the biggest advantage of Daxxify™ is the fact that its results last the longest out of all the neuromodulators currently available on the market. Traditional wrinkle relaxers have a duration of three to four months, but the results from Daxxify™ can last for up to six months on average—or as many as nine months in some patients. That means you may only need to have Daxxify™ injections twice a year to maintain the results thanks to the Peptide Exchange Technology™ (PXT) it’s made with to stabilize the toxin.
