DAXXIFY® in Livingston, New Jersey
What is DAXXIFY®?
*At least 50% of patients in clinical studies had no or minor frown lines 6 months after treatment. Between 3% and 5% of patients in clinical studies had no or minor frown lines 9 months after treatment. In other safety studies, between 5% and 17% of patients still had noticeable improvement 9 months later.
Why does DAXXIFY® have a peptide?
DAXXIFY® is unique because it is the only formulation that uses a novel peptide as a stabilizer and does not contain human or animal byproducts.
How is DAXXIFY® different from other frown line treatments?
DAXXIFY® is the only long-lasting frown line treatment powered by a peptide.
Results last on average 6 months and up to 9 months for some.†
All frown line treatments require a special ingredient to stabilize botulinum toxin A, the protein responsible for helping smooth moderate to severe frown lines. For instance, BOTOX® Cosmetic uses human serum albumin (HSA), a blood product, as its stabilizer. Dysport®, another frown line treatment, uses HSA as a stabilizer and cow’s milk protein as a protectant.

Will I need the same number of Units as my current frown line treatment?
In short, no, and here’s why. Units are like fingerprints—they are a proprietary measurement of a treatment’s unique potency.
Because of the differences in how treatments are formulated and tested, you cannot compare or convert Units between them, just like you cannot compare 2 fingerprints.
A clearer way to understand dosing is to look at how many nanograms of active ingredient (botulinum toxin type A) a product has.
Double the Units does not mean double the dose.
DAXXIFY®
Approved frown line dose: 40 Units
Amount of active ingredient: 0.18 nanograms
BOTOX® Cosmetic
Approved frown line dose: 20 Units
Amount of active ingredient: 0.18 nanograms
As you can see, despite the number of Units, DAXXIFY® isn’t 2x the dose of BOTOX® Cosmetic. Talk to your provider about DAXXIFY® and your aesthetic goals.
Will I see results quickly?
You may see results with DAXXIFY® as early as the next day after treatment, and typically within two days.

DAXXIFY® injections are typically performed with a small needle and people treated with frown line treatments say the injection feels like a pinch.
If you are concerned about discomfort, talk to your injector about options for minimizing pain, such as icing the area or applying a topical numbing cream. Treatment with DAXXIFY® requires minimal downtime, and you can return to your daily routine immediately after your appointment.
There is a possibility that the area around the injection site will swell, turn red, and cause pain or tenderness from the injection itself; however, these side effects are typically very minor and go away after a few hours or days.
DAXXIFY® minimizes the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles that cause these wrinkles. DAXXIFY® is a long-lasting botulinum type A treatment with a novel peptide.
Facial fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are typically made of hyaluronic acid and are used to add volume, fullness, and structure to areas of the face. They can help contour cheekbones, soften lines around the nose and mouth, and volumize lips. Dermal fillers target volume loss rather than muscle-related wrinkles.
Ask your aesthetic provider for pre-treatment instructions prior to your DAXXIFY® appointment.
