DAXXIFY: Everything You Need to Know About the Latest Injectable

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved DAXXIFY, a new injected medicine for smoothing facial wrinkles in adults, which many see as the first major competitor to Botox to emerge in decades. 

DAXXIFY is in a family of medicines known as neuromodulators, which includes the drugs Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau. The effects of these established neuromodulators typically last about three months, while DAXXIFY’s claim to fame is that it could last at least twice as long.

In clinical trials submitted to the FDA for approval, 80 percent of people using DAXXIFY had no or minimally visible facial wrinkles after four months, and roughly half of participants still had little evidence of wrinkles at six months. 

Here at Cape and Islands Plastic Surgery, we were among the first providers in the US, and the only one on the Cape to offer this new procedure, and our patients have already seen some great results. A recent Vogue article highlighted some of the early excitement for this new product, as it becomes more widely available in the coming months.

Here are a few other key things to know about DAXXIFY:

  1. The key difference between DAXXIFY and other neuromodulators is the duration of results, with most patients reporting their results are still visible at 6 months or longer.
  2. According to the FDA, 98 percent of patients had little or no appearance of wrinkles one month after injections. Half of patients were completely or nearly wrinkle-free at the injection area after six months, and some people still had results after nine months.
  3. According to the manufacturer, Revance, side effects of DAXXIFY are minimal.
  4. DAXXIFY is currently only FDA-approved to smooth glabellar lines, also known as frown lines or “the elevens,” but like Botox, it offers the same anti-wrinkle benefits on areas such as the forehead and crow’s feet and may be used for other “off-label” uses as well.
  5. Because the results of DAXXIFY can last 6 months or longer, it may be more appropriate for those who’ve tried other injectables in the past and have been happy with the outcome.
  6. The cost and dosage of DAXXIFY is different than other neurotoxins, so be sure to consult your doctor for specifics on pricing and units.
