Daxxify
Will Daxxify Become the New Botox?
Have you heard about Daxxify? It’s the latest wrinkle-reducing product to be approved by the FDA, and the results could be game-changing.
Since there are so many wrinkle relaxer treatment options now, we decided to take a minute to break down the latest so you can make the best decision for you. With our help, of course!
What’s A Neuromodulator?
All neuromodulators (products like Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and now Daxxify) do essentially the same thing – they treat dynamic wrinkles. And yes, there are different types of wrinkles!
There are two types of wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are formed over time by facial movement. Laughing, smiling, frowning, and squinting lead to dynamic wrinkles. Static wrinkles, on the other hand, form naturally with age. Static wrinkles appear as collagen and elastin break down, gravity takes its toll, or genetics cause thin, sagging skin. (Don’t worry, there won’t be a test. Your S.Thetics Med Spa and Wellbeing professional knows what’s up!)
Neuromodulators treat dynamic wrinkles. When the product is injected into the wrinkle or area of movement, it blocks the message from the nerve to the muscle to make the movement. Essentially, it smooths and minimizes existing wrinkles while preventing new ones from forming. After all, If you're not making the movement (or as much), then you're not creating the lines! Most commonly treated areas with a neuromodulator are: forehead, frown lines and crows feet (under eye).
So why is Daxxify different?
While all neuromodulators are very similar in their chemical makeup, as similar as the differences between popular sodas like Coke and Pepsi, the primary appeal to Daxxify is that its wrinkle-reducing effects are expected to last twice as long as any other on the market.
For more than ten years, Botox was the only neuromodulator available. And while Botox will always have our heart, we’re happy to see the industry continuing to improve and provide other options that allow more people to experience the confidence that comes from reducing and, at times, reversing the aging process. No medical aesthetic treatment is or should be one size fits all!
Daxxify will be the first product to last longer than 3-4 months. In fact, it’s double the duration – without being double the price of other neuromodulators like Botox! In addition, you can begin seeing results in as little as two days post-treatment.
Something unique to Daxxify’s innovative formulation is that it is also the only treatment on the market that does not contain a human or animal byproduct.
