The neuromodulator is FDA-approved and works to help smooth moderate to severe lines between the brows by relaxing the underlying muscles that cause wrinkles.<\/p>\n<p>The active ingredient in Daxxify\u00ae is a purified protein called botulinum toxin type A, the same found in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advdermatology.com\/cosmetic-procedures\/botulinum-toxin\/botox\/\">BOTOX\u00ae<\/a>, Dysport\u00ae and Xeomin\u00ae. The big difference is that Daxxify\u00ae has a peptide that helps keep the active ingredient stuck to the nerve terminal, giving a longer-lasting result. This means instead of the average 3-4 month duration with most neurotoxins like BOTOX\u00ae, Daxxify\u00ae can give you a 4-6 month duration of effect. Daxxify\u00ae also has a faster onset with effects showing as soon as 24 hours after treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Daxxify\u00ae is also unique because it is the only FDA-approved neurotoxin that uses a peptide as a stabilizer and does not contain human or animal byproducts.<\/p>\n<p>Advanced Dermatology is one of the first practices in Illinois to offer Daxxify\u00ae!<a class=\"btn-secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.advdermatology.com\/cosmetic-procedures\/botulinum-toxin\/daxi-botulinum-toxin\/#pageblock-14518\" rel=\"noopener\">skip to faq section below to learn more about Daxxify\u2193<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>What Does This Mean for You?<\/h3>\n<p>This means that you could have a treatment that lasts longer than your current neurotoxin. If your current treatment wears off after 3 months, for instance, Daxxify\u00ae might not wear off for 5 or 6 months. This is great news for people who have experienced a duration of less than 3-4 months, or for people who would prefer to come into the office only twice per. If you are happy with your current neuromodulators (i.e. BOTOX\u00ae, Dysport\u00ae or Xeomin\u00ae), there is no need to switch.<\/p>\n<h3>Expertise<\/h3>\n<p>Advanced Dermatology was one of the clinical study sites for Daxxify\u00ae! It was the largest-ever group of clinical studies for a frown line treatment, including more than 2,800 people across different ages and skin types.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does Daxxify\u00ae Compare to BOTOX\u00ae?<\/h2>\n<p>Both Daxxify\u00ae and BOTOX\u00ae are injectable medications used to temporarily improve the appearance of facial wrinkles. However, there are some key differences.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main differences is Daxxify\u00ae lasts longer than BOTOX\u00ae . Daxxify\u00ae can last for 4-6 months while BOTOX\u00ae typically lasts for 3-4 months. Additionally, Daxxify\u00ae generally acts faster with effects beginning to show just 24 hours after treatment\u00ae. Typically, it may be several days before BOTOX\u00ae takes effect.<\/p>\n<p>Both treatments are made with botulinum toxin type A, but they differ in how they stabilize the toxin. BOTOX\u00ae uses proteins, while Daxxify\u00ae uses peptides.<\/p>\n<h2>How Long Does it Take for Daxxify\u00ae to Work?<\/h2>\n<p>You may see initial results with Daxxify\u00ae as early as 24 hours after treatment, and typically within two days. Most people will see noticeable results within two weeks. Initial results can include signs of reduced muscle activity and smoother appearance, while noticeable results are wrinkle reduction in the treated area.<\/p>\n<h2>Who makes Daxxify\u00ae?<\/h2>\n<p>Revance Therapeutics manufactures Daxxify\u00ae in California.

These facial expressions will cause you to activate the muscles to be injected. The provider will mark the injection spots with a washable pen and then proceed with the treatment, usually 5 to 20 injections. The treatment takes about 10 minutes and you can return to work or daily activities immediately following.
