BOTOX AND DAXXIFY
Modern Aging Solutions
We strive to provide all of the popular and newest neurotoxins on the market. Neurotoxins are designed to treat and prevent dynamic lines of the upper face. The most commonly treated FDA-approved areas are the frown lines, crow’s feet, and upper forehead. We also treat off-label areas of the face such as the chin, upper lip, and masseters as well as platysmal bands of the neck.
DAXXIFY VS. BOTOX: KEY DIFFERENCES
Daxxify and Botox are similar in both how they work and the results they provide. Both treatments are neuromodulators that work by relaxing targeted muscles that cause wrinkles when they contract. Both treatments are also extremely effective at addressing even the most severe aging symptoms.
However, there are a few key differences between Botox and Daxxify:
DurationThe main difference between the treatments is how long they provide results. Daxxify results last longer than Botox, typically 2–3 times longer than Botox and other neurotoxins. Daxxify patients can expect to stay wrinkle-free for 6–9 months, whereas Botox tends to last only 3–4 months. The reason Daxxify is able to last longer is due to its unique formulation: it combines the toxin with a unique protein that extends the effects — a protein that Botox does not contain.
Since Daxxify delivers longer-lasting results, patients do not need as many maintenance sessions to maintain their appearance.
Unit DifferencesDaxxify and Botox have different formulations and are completely different medications, despite being in the same class — neuromodulators. Both work by blocking nerve signals to relax muscles, but their doses are not interchangeable. The recommended minimum dose of Botox for glabellar lines is 20 units, while for Daxxify it is 40 units.
Length of Time on MarketDaxxify is newer, approved by the FDA in 2022. Botox has been approved since 2002 and has a long track record of use worldwide. While Daxxify is still gaining traction, its longer-lasting results are helping it grow in popularity.
Both Botox and Daxxify are excellent options for non-surgical wrinkle reduction. Book your complimentary consultation to find out which option is right for you.
