Long-Lasting Results with Daxxify®

At Aesthetic Center of Richmond Dermatology, we offer Daxxify®, an advanced injectable treatment for wrinkle reduction. It’s part of a newer class of wrinkle-reducing injectables that offer longer-lasting results than traditional botulinum toxin treatments like Botox® and Dysport®. This treatment helps you achieve a smooth, more youthful appearance with minimal downtime.

What is Daxxify®?

Daxxify® is a neuromodulator injectable treatment that temporarily blocks signals between nerves and muscles, reducing muscle activity, and is FDA-approved for treating moderate to severe frown lines. It is made from a modified botulinum toxin with a unique formula that helps provide longer-lasting results than traditional treatments like Botox®, and can also be used for other facial wrinkles. Additional off-label treatment areas, such as gummy smile correction, may be available. Ask your provider what areas may be right for you.

How Daxxify® Works

Daxxify® works by targeting the muscles that cause wrinkles, specifically around the forehead and between the eyebrows (frown lines). Once injected, it temporarily relaxes these muscles, helping create a smooth, more youthful appearance. The active ingredient helps relax the targeted muscles for an extended period, providing longer-lasting results than similar treatments like Botox® or Dysport®.

During your consultation, our experienced injectors will assess your facial structure and discuss your aesthetic goals. We will also evaluate your frown lines to determine the best treatment plan for your needs.
