DAXXIFY
WHAT IS DAXXIFY?
Daxxify is an injectable neuromodulator that reduces the appearance of glabellar lines, also called frown lines or “11” lines. Frown lines develop between the eyebrows as a result of repetitive muscle contractions. Each time we furrow our brow or frown, specific facial muscles activate, and the movement of these muscles creates folds in the overlying skin.
Over time, these vertical creases can deepen, causing glabellar lines to be visible even when we intend to have a neutral or happy facial expression. Many patients who seek treatment for frown lines do so because they are frustrated with others perceiving them as upset or angry all of the time. Frown lines can also cause an aged or tired facial appearance.
Since the FDA’s approval of Botox for cosmetic use over two decades ago, and the later approval of Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau, injectable products containing botulinum toxin type A have been the preferred treatment for releasing frown lines. The active ingredient in Daxxify, which received FDA approval in 2022 for the treatment of moderate to severe wrinkles, is also botulinum toxin type A.
Daxxify is the only injectable neuromodulator formulated with a peptide, giving it an appealing advantage over other conventional treatment options which typically require retreatment every three to four months to maintain results. With Daxxify, you can enjoy a more relaxed, youthful-looking facial appearance for six to nine months before the need for retreatment arises.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR DAXXIFY
HOW DOES DAXXIFY WORK?
Daxxify works by temporarily incapacitating treated facial muscles to release and prevent the contractions that cause frown lines. When the neurotoxin, botulinum toxin type A, is injected at a low, specific dosage into an overactive muscle, it blocks the nerve signals that would cause the muscle to contract.
As long as Daxxify is active in the muscle, the muscle will be held in a state of relaxation, which means the skin between the eyebrows can remain smooth and flat. After several months, Daxxify will wear off. If you do not have additional injections, the muscles will resume normal function, and your frown lines will reappear.

PREPARATION
PROCEDURE
TIME
Daxxify does not require a recovery period, downtime, or intensive aftercare. Most patients can resume their normal schedule of activities, such as returning to work, immediately after a Daxxify procedure. Post-injection discomfort is usually minimal.
Some patients experience tenderness, redness, or minor swelling at the injection sites. These effects typically subside within a day or two and often dissipate within a few hours.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE DAXXIFY RESULTS?
HOW OFTEN WILL I NEED TO GET DAXXIFY INJECTIONS?
Daxxify provides longer-lasting results than Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin, which wear off after three to four months, on average. In contrast, Daxxify keeps frown lines at bay for about six months for most patients, and some patients have reported that their Daxxify results last for up to nine months.
The ideal treatment schedule for you will depend on your body’s unique response to Daxxify. Dr. Emer will assist you in planning for future appointments, so you can maintain your enhanced look.
This is sometimes referred to as a “spider web” facial. The needles are removed as soon as they are all inserted. They leave behind a mesh of PDO threads that support the skin and stimulate new collagen production as they dissolve. The application process is quick and painless, and the results take effect quickly.
For acne in particular, Dr. Emer recommends a combined treatment program for optimal results. Your customized acne scarring treatment may include CO2 laser resurfacing, microneedling with PRP, RF microneedling, Halo laser, and Bellafill for scarring.
