About Botulinum Therapy
Xeomin ® and Daxxify ® are neurotoxins derived from Clostridium botulinum, an organism found in the natural environment where it is largely inactive and non-toxic. When injected into the facial muscle, Xeomin ® and Daxxify ® temporarily paralyzes the muscle, blocking its ability to contract. This contraction paralysis causes the pull of the underlying facial muscles to relax, wrinkles to soften and flatten, and reveals a smooth unwrinkled appearance.

About Injections
How is Daxxify ® different?
Unlike Botox®, Xeomin®, and other neuromodulators, the botulinum toxin in Daxxify® is combined with a small lab-made protein called a peptide. These peptides help Daxxify™ bind to the targeted facial nerves more tightly than other neuromodulators for longer-lasting results and faster onset. Daxxify® has a typical duration of 24 weeks, while other neuromodulators typically last around 80-100 days. Additionally, Daxxify ® may show its effects as early as 3 days, whereas other neuromodulators take around 6-7 days for results to start.The primary advantage of Daxxify® is that it offers a reduced frequency of required treatments. This can be important for busy individuals and also result in cost savings. Most Daxxify® users spend 75% of what their Botox®-using counterparts spend.You are a candidate for Daxxify ® if you are a candidate for Botox®, Xeomin®, and other neuromodulators.
