About Daxxify
Daxxify is a new cosmetic treatment that smooths wrinkles and fine lines in the face. It is derived from daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm, a neuromodulator that temporarily prevents muscle movement when injected in small doses. Neuromodulators are safe and well-established treatments, making them an excellent choice for facial rejuvenation. (1)
The Daxxify formulation is indicated for use in the upper third of the face where dynamic wrinkles tend to form with repeated facial movement.
Treatment Areas:
- Glabellar (Frown) Lines
- Horizontal Forehead Lines
- Crow’s Feet
How Does Daxxify work?
Like Botox, and Dysport, Daxxify works by blocking the signals that the nerves send to the muscles, causing them to relax and soften. This can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming. It is most commonly used to treat dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.
At DermFx, we offer Daxxify injections as a minimally-invasive way to help our patients achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Our experienced injectors use precise techniques to ensure that the results look natural and subtle.

Candidates
Daxxify is an effective way to rejuvenate your upper face. It can effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, allowing you to experience a smoother, more youthful complexion. Typically, patients seeking Daxxify treatments are bothered by:
- Forehead wrinkles
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Lines between the eyebrows
Almost anyone can get Daxxify treatment, but it is not recommended for the following patients:

Daxxify is safe and effective for most individuals and does not contain serum albumin protein (which can be found in most other neuromodulators). (2) However, it is important to note that some people may experience adverse effects from Daxxify injections. Therefore, a consultation is necessary to determine if the treatment is right for you.
Personal Consultation
If you’re considering Daxxify, the first step is to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced providers. During your consultation, your provider will assess your medical history, skin type, and aesthetic goals to create a customized treatment plan. They will also give you information on what to expect during and after the procedure, as well as potential risks and complications.
Our team will take the time to evaluate your skin and determine if Daxxify is the right choice for you.
Preparation
If you’re considering Daxxify, there are a few things you can do to prepare for your treatment and ensure the best possible results. Here are some tips from DermFx:
- Let us know about any medications or supplements you’re taking, as well as any medical conditions you have, to ensure that Daxxify is safe for you.
- Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications for at least 24 hours before your appointment to minimize bruising.
- Come to your appointment with a clean face, free of makeup and moisturizers.
- Plan to avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot tubs for at least 24 hours after your treatment.
- Follow all post-treatment instructions carefully to optimize your Daxxify results and maintain a youthful, refreshed appearance.
Procedure
At DermFx, we offer Daxxify injections as a quick and easy solution to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines on your face. The procedure involves injecting small amounts of the botulinum toxin into specific muscles that are responsible for causing wrinkles. This temporary paralysis of the muscle prevents it from contracting, resulting in a reduction of wrinkles in the treated area.
The procedure itself is quick and virtually painless. We use a tiny needle to inject small amounts of Daxxify into the targeted muscle groups. Most patients report only mild discomfort during the process, and there is no downtime required afterward.
Recovery & Results
Daxxify is a minimally-invasive procedure that requires no downtime. After the treatment, you may experience some mild swelling or redness at the injection site which usually subsides in a few hours. We recommend avoiding touching the treated area for several hours after the procedure and avoid lying down for about 4 hours to prevent the toxin from spreading to other areas of the face. It is also advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours.
You will start noticing results in as little as 2 days. The results can last up to 6-9 months depending on your individual response to the treatment. Regular maintenance treatments can help prolong the effects of Daxxify. With DermFx’s expertise, you can expect natural-looking results that enhance your appearance and boost your confidence.
