How is Daxxify® Different From Botox?

For years, Botox® has been the gold standard in wrinkle-relaxing injectables, helping millions achieve smoother, youthful-looking skin. Now, a new option—Daxxify®—is making waves in the aesthetics industry with its longer-lasting results and innovative peptide technology.

If you’re considering wrinkle relaxers, here’s everything you need to know about Daxxify® vs. Botox and which treatment may be right for you.

What is Daxxify®?

Daxxify® is an FDA-approved neuromodulator designed to temporarily smooth dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines (11s), forehead lines, and crow’s feet.

Unlike Botox, which typically lasts 3-4 months, Daxxify® delivers results for up to 6-9 months—meaning fewer treatments per year to maintain smoother skin.

Daxxify® vs. Botox: Key Differences

Duration of Results

Botox typically lasts about 3–4 months before a follow-up is needed. In contrast, Daxxify® can deliver results for up to 6 months or longer, reducing the number of treatments required annually.

Formula Composition

While Botox is made from botulinum toxin type A, Daxxify® incorporates a unique peptide-based formulation. This advanced approach helps prolong the effects of the treatment, making it a standout choice for those seeking extended results.

Onset of Effects

Both Botox and Daxxify® take a few days to show full results, but many patients report that Daxxify® provides noticeable improvements slightly faster.

Who Should Consider Daxxify®?

Daxxify® is ideal for individuals looking to address dynamic wrinkles with fewer treatment sessions throughout the year. It’s particularly beneficial for those seeking:

  • A longer-lasting alternative to Botox.
  • Treatment for dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, smile lines, or bunny lines.
  • A cutting-edge approach to non-surgical wrinkle reduction.

Safety and Side Effects

Daxxify® has been proven safe and well-tolerated in clinical trials, with side effects similar to Botox. Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites are common but typically resolve within a few days.
