Daxxify® Neurotoxin Treatment
IN ST. LOUIS, MO
What is Daxxify®?
Daxxify® (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is an FDA-approved aesthetic neurotoxin designed to smooth moderate to severe facial lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles that cause dynamic creasing. Unlike older injectables, Daxxify® uses a proprietary peptide technology to stabilize the botulinum toxin — resulting in longer-lasting, dependable results.
How It Works
Daxxify® is a purified botulinum toxin type A neuromodulator. When expertly injected, it works by blocking nerve signals to targeted facial muscles, reducing muscle activity that contributes to the appearance of lines and wrinkles. This process helps soften dynamic creases — especially in areas like the glabella (the “11s” between the eyebrows).
The innovative peptide stabilizer used in Daxxify® enhances how the neurotoxin binds to nerve receptors, helping achieve a consistent, longer-lasting effect without relying on human or animal-derived proteins.
Benefits of Daxxify®
- Extended results: Many patients experience wrinkle improvement for up to six months or longer, which can reduce the frequency of treatments compared with traditional neurotoxins.
- Faster onset: Some patients see noticeable improvement in as little as 1–2 days, allowing quicker visual results when compared to alternatives.
- Clean formulation: Daxxify®’s peptide-based formulation contains no human or animal proteins, making it a cleaner, highly purified option.
- Fewer visits: With longer duration, most patients need fewer office visits per year.
Common Treatment Areas
Daxxify® is most commonly used to treat:
- Frown lines (glabellar lines) between the eyebrows
- Off-label artistic injections for other dynamic wrinkles may be offered based on individualized assessment

What to Expect
- Quick office procedure: Treatments are performed in-office with minimal downtime.
- Onset of results: Many patients notice improvement within a couple of days.
- Duration of effect: Results can last six months or more for many patients, extending beyond the average three- to four-month span seen with some other neurotoxins.
Safety & Side Effects
Daxxify® is generally well tolerated. As with all neurotoxin injections, mild side effects such as headache, temporary eyelid droop, or slight facial weakness can occur. Serious potential reactions — including muscle weakness, swallowing or breathing difficulties, and allergic responses — are rare but should be discussed before treatment. Your provider will review all safety information and history to determine suitability.
