Daxxify

Tired of Scheduling Touch-Ups Every Few Months?

If you've been treating frown lines and forehead wrinkles for a while, you already know the drill. You come in, you look great, and then a few months later you're back in the waiting room. It works, but the timing can feel relentless — especially with everything else on your calendar.

Daxxify is a newer FDA-approved wrinkle relaxer that many patients find lasts noticeably longer than traditional neuromodulators. For South Florida patients who want smooth, natural-looking results without scheduling appointments every 10 to 12 weeks, it's worth a real conversation with a dermatologist who knows your skin.

What Is Daxxify?

Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator used to temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, also called glabellar lines. Like other wrinkle relaxers, it works by calming the muscle contractions that create those lines. What sets it apart is its formulation — Daxxify uses a peptide-based stabilizer instead of human serum albumin, which may contribute to its longer duration in many patients.

• FDA-approved for moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults
• Peptide-stabilized formula — no human or animal byproducts
• Longer duration: clinical trials showed a median duration of 6 months, with some patients seeing results up to 9 months
• Quick in-office treatment — typically completed in under 20 minutes
• No downtime for most patients
• Administered exclusively by trained medical providers, not medspa aestheticians

At Dermatology Experts, Daxxify is administered under the direct oversight of Dr. Angelo Ayar, a double board-certified dermatologist. Every injection is approached with the same clinical precision and aesthetic judgment that goes into every procedure at this practice.

What to Expect at Your Daxxify Appointment

Your appointment will feel straightforward and unhurried. Dr. Ayar or his team will review your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and determine the right dose and placement for your individual anatomy. There is no one-size-fits-all approach here.

• Consultation: A brief review of your goals, medical history, and prior neuromodulator experience
• Treatment area prep: The skin is cleansed and, if desired, a topical numbing agent can be applied
• Injections: Precise placement into the glabellar muscles using a fine needle — most patients describe mild pressure or a pinch
• Session length: Most appointments are completed in 15 to 20 minutes
• Downtime: Minimal to none for the majority of patients; small injection-site redness may appear briefly
• Post-treatment instructions: Avoid rubbing the area, strenuous exercise, and lying flat for several hours after treatment
• Onset: Many patients begin to notice softening within 2 to 3 days, with full results visible at around 2 weeks

Same-day appointments may be available at our Tamarac, Parkland, and Miami locations. Call (954) 726-2000 to check current availability.

Results: What Patients Can Realistically Expect

Daxxify's most discussed advantage is duration. In clinical trials, the median duration of effect was approximately 6 months, compared to the 3 to 4 months many patients experience with traditional neuromodulators. Some patients in those trials maintained results for up to 9 months. Individual results can vary based on metabolism, muscle mass, and treatment area.

• Frown lines between the brows appear visibly softened or smoothed
• Natural movement is preserved when injected correctly — the goal is refreshed, not frozen
• Results may last 6 months or longer for many patients, though individual outcomes vary
• First-time patients may want to schedule a follow-up at 2 weeks to assess results and make any minor adjustments
• Consistent treatment over time can help maintain a smoother baseline appearance

South Florida's climate — with its heat, humidity, and near-daily sun exposure — makes consistent skin care especially important. Fewer injection appointments per year can help patients stay on track without disrupting their schedules.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Daxxify?

Daxxify may be a strong fit if you recognize yourself in any of the following:

• You are an adult with moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows
• You have used Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin before and want a longer-lasting option
• You are healthy and have no contraindications to neuromodulator injections
• You prefer a product free of human serum albumin
• You want fewer appointments per year without sacrificing results
• You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
• You want your treatment performed by a board-certified dermatologist, not a medspa injector

Daxxify may not be appropriate for patients with certain neuromuscular conditions, known sensitivity to botulinum toxin products, or active infection at the planned injection site. Dr. Ayar will review your full history during your consultation to confirm you are a good candidate.

Frequently Asked Questions About Daxxify

How is Daxxify different from Botox or Dysport?

All three are FDA-approved botulinum toxin-based neuromodulators that relax facial muscles to reduce wrinkles. The key difference with Daxxify is its peptide-stabilized formula and its potential for longer duration. Clinical data showed a median effect of about 6 months for Daxxify, compared to the 3 to 4 months most patients experience with Botox or Dysport. The right choice depends on your anatomy, goals, and treatment history, which is exactly what your consultation is for.

Does Daxxify hurt more than other neuromodulators?

Most patients describe the sensation as a brief pinch or mild pressure, similar to other injectable neuromodulators. The needles used are very fine, and treatment time is short. If you are sensitive to injections, topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand. Many patients are surprised by how comfortable the experience is.

How long does it take to see results from Daxxify?

Many patients begin noticing some softening of frown lines within 2 to 3 days after treatment. Full results are typically visible at around 2 weeks. A follow-up appointment at the 2-week mark allows your provider to assess the outcome and address any touch-up needs.

Is Daxxify covered by insurance, and can I use HSA or FSA funds?

Daxxify for cosmetic purposes is not covered by health insurance. However, many patients use HSA or FSA funds to cover cosmetic dermatology treatments. We recommend confirming eligibility with your plan administrator before your appointment. Our team is happy to answer any billing questions when you call to schedule.

Can I combine Daxxify with other cosmetic treatments?

Yes, many patients combine Daxxify with dermal fillers, skin resurfacing, or other cosmetic treatments as part of a broader skin care plan. Dr. Ayar takes a thoughtful approach to combination treatments, spacing procedures appropriately and sequencing them to support the best possible outcome. This is a conversation worth having during your consultation so your treatment plan is tailored to your goals.
