Daxxify Lima, OH | Celina | Findlay Aesthetic Care Center

Watching your reflection reveal deepening expression lines can be unsettling. Perhaps you’ve noticed the gradual formation of horizontal forehead creases, vertical frown lines between your brows, or crow’s feet fanning from your eyes. While these changes mark a life well-lived, you shouldn’t feel obligated to showcase every sign of aging that appears on your journey.

Daxxify has emerged as a groundbreaking advancement in aesthetic medicine, offering a longer-lasting solution for dynamic wrinkles without surgery. This innovative neuromodulator represents the next generation of wrinkle-relaxing treatments, providing the refreshed, youthful appearance you desire with fewer appointments throughout the year.

What Is Daxxify?

Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is the first FDA-approved peptide-formulated neuromodulator for temporary improvement of moderate to severe frown lines. Unlike traditional botulinum toxin treatments that use human serum albumin as a stabilizer, Daxxify’s unique formulation incorporates a novel peptide technology that creates a more targeted binding to nerve cells.

This revolutionary injectable received FDA approval in September 2022 after extensive clinical trials demonstrated both its safety and remarkable longevity. The absence of human or animal-derived components in its formula represents a significant advancement in neuromodulator science, appealing to patients seeking longer-lasting results with fewer treatment sessions.

How Does Daxxify Work?

When you smile, frown, or make other facial expressions, the underlying muscles contract repeatedly, eventually creating lines and wrinkles in the skin above. These dynamic wrinkles become more pronounced over time as collagen diminishes naturally with age.

Daxxify works by precisely targeting specific facial muscles responsible for these expressions. When injected, it temporarily prevents the release of acetylcholine—the neurotransmitter that triggers muscle contraction. The treated muscles relax, allowing the skin above to smooth out, while untreated facial muscles continue functioning normally for natural expressiveness.

Its distinguishing feature is its peptide exchange technology, which creates a stronger attachment to nerve cells than traditional neuromodulators. This enhanced stability translates to longer-lasting results without compromising safety or the natural appearance of your expressions.

What Concerns Can Daxxify Address?

Daxxify excels at treating dynamic facial wrinkles—those lines that appear during facial expressions. Currently FDA-approved for glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows), it is commonly used off-label for other expression-related concerns:

Beyond wrinkle reduction, your provider may recommend Daxxify for other off-label applications depending on your specific needs and concerns.

01 /
Glabellar Lines

These vertical “11 lines” between your eyebrows that appear when you frown or concentrate respond exceptionally well to Daxxify’s muscle-relaxing effects.

02 /
Forehead Lines

Strategically placed injections can significantly soften the horizontal creases that form when you raise your eyebrows.

03 /
Crow's Feet

Fine lines radiating from the corners of your eyes, when you smile, can be minimized while maintaining your natural expressiveness.

04 /
Bunny Lines

The small wrinkles that appear on the bridge of your nose when you smile or laugh can be addressed with precise micro-injections.

Am I a Good Candidate for Daxxify?

Daxxify is appropriate for most adults seeking to reduce expression lines and prevent their progression. Ideal candidates:

Have noticeable dynamic wrinkles that appear with facial movements Desire longer-lasting results than traditional neuromodulators provide Maintain good overall health with no allergies to the ingredients Are not pregnant or nursing Have realistic expectations about the treatment outcomes

During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your facial anatomy, muscle movement patterns, and aesthetic goals to determine if Daxxify aligns with your needs. They will also review your medical history to ensure you have no contraindications to treatment.

What Happens During a Daxxify Treatment?

Your Daxxify experience will be straightforward and efficient—many patients schedule appointments during their lunch break and immediately return to their daily activities afterward.

01 /
Preparation

Upon arrival, you’ll be seated comfortably while your provider thoroughly cleanses the treatment areas to remove makeup, oils, or surface contaminants. This critical step ensures optimal product placement and minimizes infection risk.

If you’re concerned about discomfort, your provider may apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment areas, allowing it to take effect for approximately 15 minutes. However, many patients proceed without numbing due to the minimal sensation involved with the ultra-fine needles used for injection.

Before beginning, your provider will ask you to make various facial expressions to evaluate your unique muscle movement patterns and identify precise injection points for the most natural-looking results.

02 /
Treatment

The injection process is remarkably quick and precise. Using an extremely fine needle, your provider will administer a series of small injections into the targeted muscles. These placement points are strategically selected based on your facial structure and movement patterns to ensure balanced, harmonious results.

The number of injections varies by treatment area—typically 5-7 for glabellar lines, 5-10 for horizontal forehead lines, and 3-5 per side for crow’s feet. Throughout the procedure, your provider may apply gentle pressure or cooling to minimize any potential bruising.

The injection process generally takes 10-15 minutes from start to finish, making Daxxify one of the most time-efficient aesthetic treatments available.

03 /
Post-Treatment

Immediately following your Daxxify session, you may notice tiny injection marks, slight redness, or minimal swelling at the treatment sites—all temporary effects that typically resolve within the hour. Your provider will offer a mirror to examine the treated areas and may apply a light cooling gel to enhance comfort.

Before departing, you’ll receive comprehensive aftercare instructions and guidance on when to expect results. Most practices schedule a follow-up appointment 2-3 weeks post-treatment to evaluate your results and determine if any refinement injections would be beneficial.

Recovery and Aftercare

One of Daxxify’s main advantages is the minimal downtime required. Most patients resume normal activities immediately following treatment, though certain precautions are recommended for the first 24 hours:

Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas to prevent product migration Remain upright for at least four hours rather than lying down Skip strenuous exercise, saunas, hot tubs, and alcohol for the remainder of the day to minimize bruising risk Postpone facials, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion for at least 24 hours

Some patients experience minor bruising, tenderness, or headache after treatment, but these effects typically resolve quickly. Serious side effects are extremely rare when Daxxify is administered by qualified professionals.

When Will I See the Results?

Unlike immediate-acting dermal fillers, Daxxify requires time to take effect. Most patients notice initial improvements within 24-48 hours, with full results developing over 7-10 days as the neuromodulator fully binds to the targeted nerve receptors.

The most remarkable feature of Daxxify is its longevity. Clinical studies show median results lasting 6-9 months, with some patients experiencing benefits for up to 9 months after a single treatment. This extended duration represents a significant advancement compared to traditional neuromodulators that typically last 3-4 months.

Daxxify vs. Other Neuromodulators

Daxxify stands apart from other wrinkle-relaxing injectables in several key ways:

Superior Longevity. Daxxify’s effects last approximately twice as long as traditional neuromodulators, meaning fewer treatment sessions annually.
Peptide Formulation. Unlike other products that use human serum albumin as a stabilizer, Daxxify utilizes a proprietary peptide technology for enhanced stability and performance.
Rapid Onset. Many patients report slightly faster initial results compared to other neuromodulators.
Animal-Free Composition. The absence of animal-derived ingredients appeals to patients with specific preferences or sensitivities.

Your provider can discuss whether Daxxify’s unique properties align with your treatment goals and lifestyle needs.

Combining Daxxify with Other Treatments

For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, Daxxify works harmoniously alongside other aesthetic procedures. Complementary treatments may include:

Skin Resurfacing. Treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, or laser procedures address surface texture and pigmentation issues, while Daxxify handles expression lines.
Collagen-Stimulating Treatments. Procedures that boost your natural collagen production complement Daxxify’s wrinkle-relaxing effects for more comprehensive anti-aging results.

Your provider can design a customized treatment plan incorporating multiple modalities to address your unique concerns holistically.
