What Is DAXXIFY?

Our treatments of DAXXIFY in Pittsburgh target the facial muscles causing wrinkles with a low dose of the purified protein botulinum toxin, temporarily relaxing tense muscles that create lines and wrinkles. The result of this groundbreaking injectable wrinkle relaxer? Smooth, youthful-looking, wrinkle-free skin.

This innovative treatment is unique because it includes Peptide Exchange Technology™. It is the first and only neuromodulator with advanced technology that stabilizes the treatment results for longer-lasting rejuvenating effects. 

How Does DAXXIFY Work?

Facial expressions such as frowning, smiling, wrinkling your brow in concentration, squinting, and laughing cause facial wrinkles. Every time you make a facial expression, your muscles tense and repeatedly contract in these same ways. Over time, these muscles stay tightened, which results in wrinkles, creases, and fine lines.

DAXXIFY is injected into only these muscles, causing them to relax completely. The result is smooth skin free of wrinkles, with other muscles free to create natural facial expressions. Because of this, DAXXIFY boasts the most natural-looking wrinkle relaxation.

DAXXIFY vs. BOTOX

Like BOTOX, DAXXIFY has been clinically proven as a safe, effective wrinkle treatment for most patients. These wrinkle relaxers are a low dose of botulinum toxin, and they both work the same way. Like other neuromodulators, You should repeat BOTOX results last three to four months before treatment.

What else makes DAXXIFY different from BOTOX? DAXXIFY lasts up to five months longer because its Peptide Exchange Technology™ stabilizes the effects of the botulinum toxin. With fewer injections, you can expect smooth, wrinkle-free skin for six to nine months.

DAXXIFY Recovery and Results

After treatments of DAXXIFY in Pittsburgh, there is a minimal recovery period with no downtime. Patients can return to work or their usual routine and activities immediately after treatment. 

However, there may be some redness and slight swelling in the area for up to three hours after DAXXIFY injections. Do not massage or manipulate the area for two to three days. Don’t drink alcohol or exercise heavily, and do not expose yourself to extreme heat during this time.

You’ll notice visible improvement in frown lines after two days or up to one week. As you continue receiving DAXXIFY treatments, the faster the results appear. Your skin will be smoother, more youthful-looking, and refreshed for 6-9 months.
