Its been in development for over 30 years.
Move over,Botox theres a new skin-jectable on the block, and it lasts even longer.
Enter: Daxxify, otherwise known asDaxi, and short for the more formal term, DaxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm.
Below, NYC-based board-certified dermatologistDr.
Marina Peredoshares her expert insight on the new powerfully potent innovation in physicians toolboxes.
What is Daxxify?
How Does Daxxify Compare To Botox?
The first toxin on the block was Botox, which was FDA-approved in 2002.
Similarly, it was first [used] for glabellar lines.
In general, neurotoxins and neuromodulator will temporarily relax muscles that they are injected into.
Whats different about Daxxify is definitely the duration of action.
For physicians, its very exciting because its something new to offer our patients.
There were no side effects, and patients really loved the results.
Where Is Daxxify Injected?
There are two muscle groups procerus and corrugator in the glabellar area, and they are brow depressors.
You dont see anything immediately it takes anywhere from two days to two weeks for it to fully work.
Who Is The Best Candidate For Daxxify?
Are There Any Potential Side Effects?
Because we do use needles, some people may bruise a little, though most people dont.
The warning I give with regards to any neurotoxin is to go to someone who is experienced.
A lot of times, side effects may not be the product, but who isdeliveringthe product.
Whats Next For Daxxify?
Later on next year, it will have a broader commercial launch.
