As we age, the years start to show on our faces. We begin to see wrinkles and fine lines forming on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around our eyes. Many people are familiar with neuromodulators such as BOTOX, popular injectables that are used to smooth away wrinkles and achieve a more youthful appearance. At SVIA Med Spa, there is a groundbreaking injectable that has taken the world of neuromodulators to the next level: DAXXIFY.
What is DAXXIFY?
DAXXIFY is an FDA-approved treatment that smooths wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause the wrinkles in the first place. DAXXIFY works in the same way that BOTOX or other neuromodulators do to achieve results. Still, instead of diminishing in three or four months, DAXXIFY is the first and only neuromodulator that lasts for six to nine months.
DAXXIFY is made from a safe, minimal dose of a botulinum toxin, a purified protein that acts as a temporary muscle relaxant. It is a clinically proven, safe treatment for patients who want to reverse the appearance of wrinkles or prevent them from appearing in the first place. To relax the contracted muscles that cause the wrinkles to appear, DAXXIFY is carefully injected.
Unlike other available neuromodulators, DAXXIFY was created with innovative, groundbreaking Peptide Exchange Technology™. This technology stabilizes the results of the injections, achieving longer-lasting rejuvenation.
How does DAXXIFY work?
Throughout every day, we make facial expressions. Whether we smile, frown, furrow our brow in concentration, yawn, or squint–the muscles contract. These repeated muscle contractions ultimately result in wrinkles.
DAXXIFY injections relax the muscles to achieve smooth, youthful-looking skin. DAXXIFY injections are performed meticulously to ensure that only specific muscles are addressed. This allows the other muscles to move freely, allowing a natural range of motion.
This can be performed as a preventative measure for those who want to stop wrinkles from appearing in the first place, or as a rejuvenation method for people who are noticing wrinkles forming and would like to turn the clock back. For patients who want to sculpt, plump, or refine other areas of their face, DAXXIFY can be paired nicely with dermal fillers.
Recovery after DAXXIFY injections
One of the most appealing things about DAXXIFY is that there is no downtime or significant recovery period afterward. As soon as the treatment is over, you will be able to return to your usual activities and daily routine. There may be some redness, slight swelling, or small red bumps at the injection sites, but these fade quickly.
Other side effects of DAXXIFY are uncommon but may include flu-like symptoms, bruising, temporary facial weakness or drooping, and other similar concerns.
Before you massage or manipulate the treatment area, wait for about two days. Also, during this time, do not expose yourself to direct sun or extreme heat, do not drink alcohol and do not exercise heavily.
