Daxxify Wrinkle
Treatment

Daxxify® (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is an FDA-approved injectable treatment used to temporarily reduce the appearance of severe or minor frown lines, those facial wrinkles between your eyebrows and on your forehead. 

While Botox® and similar products typically last 3–4 months, Daxxify® stands out with results that last an average of 6 months and, in some cases, up to 9 months. Thanks to its innovative Peptide Exchange Technology™ (PXT), Daxxify® offers longer-lasting results, meaning fewer visits to the clinic and more time enjoying smoother skin.

Yes! Daxxify® has been tested extensively in one of the largest-ever clinical trials for a frown line treatment. Nearly 3,000 participants of various ages and skin types were included, confirming that it’s safe and effective across diverse skin tones. LA ViE MD proudly offers this advanced treatment to a wide array of patients.

As mentioned, Daxxify® is FDA-approved and backed by over 20 years of clinical research. Like all injectable treatments, it comes with potential side effects, which may include:

• – Temporary facial muscle weakness
• – Mild swelling or redness at the injection site
• – Headache
• – Facial numbness

These side effects are generally minor and ephemeral. To minimize risks, Daxxify should always be administered by a trained medical professional. At LA ViE MD, all injections are performed by experienced providers with expert knowledge in facial anatomy and cosmetic treatments.

Results may include smoother, more youthful-looking skin, with effects lasting up to six months or longer in some cases.

Most patients only need treatment twice a year due to the longer duration of results. Compared to Botox®, which requires touch-ups every 3–4 months, Daxxify® offers a longer-lasting solution with fewer appointments and more consistent results over time.

Not necessarily. Units are not interchangeable between products. For example:

• – Daxxify®: 40 units (0.18 ng botulinum toxin A)
• – Botox® Cosmetic: 20 units (0.18 ng)
• – Dysport®: 50 units (0.27 ng)

While the unit numbers differ, the actual amount of active ingredient is not always greater. Our specialist at LA ViE MD will tailor your dose to ensure optimal, natural-looking results.

Before your appointment, we recommend avoiding the following for a few days:

• – Retin-A or topical steroids
• – Blood thinners (like aspirin)
• – Omega-3-rich fish oils
• – Sleep aids and allergy meds
• – Vitamin E or St. John’s Wort
• – Muscle relaxants

Once your appointment is confirmed, we will give you a personalized list of pre-treatment guidelines.

Most patients at LA ViE MD report little to no pain, just a light pinch at the injection site. We use ultra-fine needles and advanced techniques to minimize discomfort. For needle-sensitive patients, we offer numbing cream and other comfort-enhancing options 20–30 minutes beforehand.

You may start to see results as soon as the next day, with full effects visible within 1 to 2 weeks. In clinical trials, at least 50 percent of patients still had significantly reduced frown lines 6 months after treatment.

Many patients notice improvements as early as the next day after their DAXXIFY® treatment at LA ViE MD. However, results typically develop gradually over 2 to 5 days, with full effects becoming visible within 1 to 2 weeks.

This quick onset, often faster than traditional neurotoxins, makes DAXXIFY® a great option for those looking for both speed and longevity in their wrinkle-smoothing results.

For best results, we recommend sleeping on your back the night after your Daxxify® procedure and avoiding lying down for at least 4 hours post-treatment. After 24 hours, normal sleep positions can be resumed.

DAXXIFY® is the first and only frown line treatment clinically proven to deliver results that last up to six months and sometimes up to nine months. Unlike other neuromodulators, DAXXIFY® uses a unique Peptide Exchange Technology™ (PXT) to stabilize the botulinum toxin, allowing it to remain effective in the body for a significantly extended period.

No, not necessarily. Most side effects occur within the first 1–2 weeks and are temporary, similar to other frown line treatments. Clinical trials found no serious treatment-related side effects, making it a safe and reliable choice for smoothing dynamic wrinkles.

To get the best results from your DAXXIFY® treatment at LA ViE MD, follow these post-care guidelines:

• – Do not rub or massage the treated area for at least 24 hours.
• – Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat (like saunas or sunbathing), and alcohol for at least 48 hours.
• – Refrain from lying down for at least 3-4 hours post-treatment. Sleeping on your back the first night is recommended.

These precautions help minimize the risk of product migration and optimize your results.

Many patients report quicker onset and longer-lasting results with DAXXIFY® compared to Botox® and other botulinum toxin treatments. Thanks to its innovative Peptide Exchange Technology™ (PXT), DAXXIFY® delivers smoother skin with effects that can last up to twice as long.

DAXXIFY® is generally well tolerated, but as with any injectable treatment, side effects can occur. The most common include:

• – Headache
• – Brief pain or redness at the injection site
• – Drooping eyelids

Rare but serious side effects may include dry eyes, difficulty swallowing, speaking, or breathing, and in extremely rare cases, symptoms of botulism. That’s why treatments should always be administered by a qualified provider.
