Until now, there never was an injectable wrinkle treatment formulated with a peptide.
Their peptide helps stabilize the active ingredient, instead of using human blood products like conventional frown line treatments. It also has no animal byproducts.
The peptide also enhances attachment of the active ingredient, acting like a magnet and making more toxin available to enter nerve cells.
DAXXIFY® is FDA approved to smooth moderate to severe lines between the brows. It is the only frown line treatment powered by a peptide.
The active ingredient in DAXXIFY® is a purified protein called botulinum toxin type A.
Before and After
FAQs
Is DAXXIFY® for me?
DAXXIFY® could be for you if you would like to improve the look of your frown lines with a product that's fast acting, long lasting and delivers a better look.*
*Results as early as the next day and typically within 2 days. At least 50% of patients in clinical studies had no or minor frown lines 6 months after treatment. Improves the appearance of skin texture versus before treatment.
How often will I need to get DAXXIFY®?
If you're like most people, you probably get a frown line treatment around twice a year. But here's the thing: conventional treatments only last 3 - 4 months. If you are not able to get treated every 3-4 months, that means you may spend the next 2 - 3 months of the year with those frown lines staring back at you between treatments. That's up to 4 - 6 months of total wear off time per year!
In clinical trials, at least 50% of patients showed results in frown lines at 6 months.
Will I see results quickly?
You may see results with DAXXIFY® as early as the next day after treatment, and typically within two days.
Why does DAXXIFY® have a peptide?
All frown line treatments require a special ingredient to stabilize botulinum toxin A, the protein responsible for helping smooth moderate to severe frown lines. For instance, Botox® Cosmetic uses human serum albumin (HSA), a blood product, as its stabilizer. Dysport®, another frown line treatment, uses HSA as a stabilizer and cow's milk protein as a protectant.
DAXXIFY® is unique because it is the only formulation that uses a novel peptide as a stabilizer and does not contain human or animal byproducts.
How is DAXXIFY® different from other frown line treatments?
DAXXIFY® is unique because it's the only frown line treatment formulated with a peptide. The peptide helps eliminate the need for human or animal products to stabilize the active ingredient, botulinum toxin A. The peptide also enhances attachment of the active ingredient, acting like a magnet and making more toxin available to enter nerve cells. The peptide formulation delivers outstanding results that are fast, last, and give a better look to the skin's texture after treatment.*
*Results as early as the next day and typically within 2 days. At least 50% of patients in clinical studies had no or minor frown lines 6 months after treatment.
Will I need the same number of Units as my current frown line treatment?
In short, no, and here's why. Units are like fingerprints - they are a proprietary measurement of a treatment's unique potency.
Because of the differences in how treatments are formulated and tested, you cannot compare or convert Units between them, just like you cannot compare 2 fingerprints.
Double the Units does not mean double the dose.
The potency Units of DAXXIFY® are not interchangeable with other preparations of other botulinum toxin products.
Where is DAXXIFY® made?
DAXXIFY® is manufactured in California, and the only prescription frown line treatment made in the United States. Conventional frown line treatments are manufactured in other countries, then imported into the United States.
How was DAXXIFY® created?
In 2002, physicians and entrepreneurs founded a start-up in Silicon Valley, California to explore the use of peptides in biologics for different therapeutic uses. Their goal was to utilize peptides to transport biologics, typically large molecules, through the skin.
The initial idea was to formulate botulinum toxin type A, the active ingredient in DAXXIFY®, with a peptide to see if it could be applied topically to the skin to treat crow's feet wrinkles. Through this process, scientists discovered that the formulation was optimally administered through injection. Several clinical studies were created to determine the correct dose for an injectable product that would treat frown lines.
Safety
Is DAXXIFY® safe?
DAXXIFY® was studied in the largest-ever clinical study for a frown line treatment and included more than 2,800 people across different ages and skin types. Here are some things you should know about DAXXIFY®:
- There were no serious treatment-related side effects
- The active ingredient in DAXXIFY®is botulinum toxin type A, an ingredient that has been used in frown line treatments for more than 20 years
DAXXIFY® may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening. Please talk to your aesthetic provider about possible side effects and consult with the Prescribing Information and Medication Guide.
