Daxxify
Consultations offered at our three convenient locations in Austin, TX, San Antonio, TX and Westlake Hills, TX
Daxxify is the first FDA-approved long-lasting Neurotoxin. In clinical studies, patients had results that lasted 6-9 months. Traditional neurotoxins such as Botox and Dysport lasted about 3-4 months.
Daxxify is a botulinum toxin type A similar to Botox and Dysport. What makes it unique is the stabilizing protein attached to it. In the past, Botox and Dysport only lasted about three to four months as the body broke the protein down, and it no longer had an effect. Thus patients needed to be re-treated every three to four months to maintain their results. Daxxify in Austin has a stabilizing protein that allows it to maintain its effect twice as long as traditional non-surgical neurotoxin treatments.

Procedure
Daxxify, also known as daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm is botulinum toxin type A, similar to Botox and Dysport. Thus, the key ingredient in Daxxify has been available for beauty treatment in Austin for over twenty years. The key ingredient in Daxxify that makes it unique is a proprietary stabilizing protein attached to the botulinum toxin type A protein. Neurotoxins such as Botox and Dysport also have these surrounding proteins; however, they have a different design than Daxxify.
Evolution
Neurotoxins such as Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin have been used extensively in the aesthetic world to help treat fine lines and wrinkles for over twenty years. Botox was the first Neurotoxin on the market, and subsequently, other neurotoxins have followed, secondary to the success and demand for Botox (which continues to grow). Each neurotoxin has unique properties and uses. However, the length of treatment has been the limiting factor in all the previous neurotoxins.
It has always been difficult for patients to return for treatment every three to four months to maintain the results of their Botox or Dysport treatment. Daxxify is the first neurotoxin to be FDA-approved to show sustainable results for 6-9 months. This evolution in neurotoxins will help the effects of Daxxify to be on par with your filler treatments, thus simplifying treatments for our business professionals in Austin.
Benefits
Daxxify is unique in the duration of action for treating frown lines between the brows. The novel stabilizing protein that is attached to the neurotoxin is what gives it the unique property of longevity. Daxxify has a specialized synthetic protein that has been attached to the neurotoxin that helps stabilize the medication and thus increases the longevity of the Austin treatment.
