Discover the Benefits of Daxxify
at Zeam Health & Wellness
At Zeam Health & Wellness, we strive to offer our clients the most advanced options for aesthetic treatments. One of the latest and most effective options available is Daxxify—a cutting-edge injectable that provides a longer-lasting solution for smoothing moderate to severe frown lines. If you are looking for a treatment that delivers faster results and extended effectiveness, Daxxify might be the perfect choice for you.
What Is Daxxify?
Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to improve the appearance of glabellar lines, commonly known as the “11s,” which are vertical lines between the eyebrows.
Introduced in September 2022, Daxxify sets itself apart from other injectables through its innovative formulation. Unlike traditional injectables like Botox, Daxxify does not rely on human serum albumin or animal-based components. Instead, it features a unique stabilizing peptide known as RTP004—a 35-amino acid peptide that enhances the longevity of the treatment.
How Daxxify Works
Daxxify works similarly to other botulinum toxin injectables by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a chemical responsible for triggering muscle contractions. This temporary interruption helps to relax the muscles that create frown lines, leading to a smoother and more youthful appearance.
The peptide in Daxxify not only stabilizes the toxin but also enhances its binding to nerve receptors, increasing the length of its effectiveness.
Why Choose Daxxify Over Other Injectables?
There are several reasons why Daxxify has quickly gained attention in the aesthetics world:
Longer Duration
Daxxify offers results that last, on average, about six months. Some patients even report results lasting up to nine months. In comparison, traditional treatments typically last 3 to 4 months.
Fast-Acting
Clinical trials have shown that patients can start seeing results as early as the next day, with most experiencing noticeable effects within two days.
Peptide Technology
Daxxify uses Peptide Exchange Technology, which allows for better binding to nerve cells. This helps the active ingredient, botulinum toxin type A, be more effective and last longer.
Vegan Formulation
Unlike other neuromodulators that use human or animal proteins as stabilizers, Daxxify is free of these components, making it a vegan-friendly treatment.
The Daxxify Experience: What to Expect
Treatment Process
The process of getting your Daxxify treatment at Zeam Health & Wellness is straightforward. Our trained providers administer the treatment using a series of small injections into targeted muscles. The entire procedure typically takes 15 to 20 minutes.
Immediate Aftercare and Downtime
One of the benefits of Daxxify is that it requires minimal downtime. You may experience slight redness or swelling at the injection site, but this generally resolves within a few hours. Some individuals may also experience minor bruising, which can take a few days to fade.
Results Timeline
You can expect to start seeing results as early as the next day, with most patients noticing significant improvements within two days. The effects of Daxxify last around six months for the average patient, and for some, it can extend up to nine months. This extended duration allows you to space out your visits and maintain your aesthetic goals with fewer appointments.
Daxxify vs. Botox:
What Sets Them Apart?
While Botox has been a trusted and popular choice for decades, Daxxify introduces new benefits that may appeal to some patients:
Longevity
Botox typically provides results lasting 3 to 4 months, while Daxxify offers results that can extend up to six months or more.
Vegan Stabilizer
Botox uses human serum albumin as a stabilizer, whereas Daxxify’s peptide-based stabilizer is free of human and animal byproducts, offering a vegan-friendly option.
Onset of Action
While Botox results usually take 10 to 14 days to appear, Daxxify’s effects can be noticed within one to two days, providing a faster response for those seeking quick improvements.
Dosing Differences
The units for Daxxify and Botox are not interchangeable due to their unique formulations. For frown lines, Daxxify typically requires a dosage of 40 units, administered through five injections.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Daxxify?
Daxxify may be an excellent choice for adults looking to improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows.
- Prefer a longer-lasting treatment
- Desire quicker onset of results
- Are seeking a vegan-friendly alternative to traditional injectables
- Want fewer treatments per year without compromising on results
Safety and Clinical Backing
Daxxify has been rigorously tested to ensure safety and efficacy. Clinical trials for Daxxify included over 2,800 participants of different ages and skin types, making it the largest-ever study for a frown line treatment. The results of these trials demonstrated:
- No serious treatment-related side effects reported
- 80% of patients had minimal or no visible facial wrinkles after four months
- Approximately 50% maintained results at six months
The most commonly reported side effects were mild and included:
- Headache (6% of participants)
- Eyelid drooping (2%)
- Facial asymmetry (1%)
These side effects were temporary and typically resolved on their own. It is essential to discuss any concerns with your aesthetic provider to ensure you are a good candidate for the treatment.
How to Prepare for Your Daxxify Treatment
Preparing for your Daxxify appointment is simple. Here are some common pre-treatment recommendations:
Avoid blood thinners and NSAIDs
such as aspirin or ibuprofen a few days before your appointment to minimize bruising.
Stay away from supplements
containing Vitamin E, fish oil, or St. John’s Wort.
Refrain from using Retin-A
or topical steroids before your treatment.
Discuss any current medications
or health conditions with your provider to ensure the best possible experience.
