DAXXIFY®, also known as “DAXI,” is an FDA-approved neuromodulator designed to target moderate to severe glabellar lines, which are the frown lines that often form between the eyebrows, also known as “11s.”
DAXXIFY® works similarly to other neuromodulators such as Botox, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau®, but is unique in that it contains a proprietary type A protein, combined with a novel peptide that temporarily blocks nerve signals to targeted muscles, reducing expression lines that develop from repetitive muscle contractions.
It is currently the only long-lasting neuromodulator treatment powered by a peptide with results that last on average 6 months and up to 9 months for some.
DAXXIFY® is known for its unique formulation – the neuromodulator responsible for temporarily interrupting muscle signals, is connected to a protein, enhancing DAXXIFY®’s effectiveness on treated muscles. Clinical trials have shown that DAXXIFY®’s results can last anywhere from 6 to 9 months, potentially offering a duration 2-3 times longer than that of BOTOX for some individuals.

How Is DAXXIFY® Different From Other Neuromodulators?
DAXXIFY® is unique because it is the only formulation that uses a novel peptide as a stabilizer and does not contain human or animal byproducts.
DAXXIFY® is the only long-lasting frown line treatment powered by a peptide. In clinical studies, the effectiveness of DAXXIFY® lasted on average 6 months and up to 9 months for some people, longer than other neuromodulator treatments.
Will I need the same number of Units as my current frown line treatment?
In short, no, and here’s why. Units are like fingerprints—they are a proprietary measurement of a treatment’s unique potency.
Because of the differences in how treatments are formulated and tested, you cannot compare or convert Units between them, just like you cannot compare 2 fingerprints.
A clearer way to understand dosing is to look at how many nanograms of active ingredient (botulinum toxin type A) a product has.
Double the Units does not mean double the dose
Is DAXXIFY® Safe?
DAXXIFY® underwent a significant clinical study involving over 2,800 individuals of various ages and skin types resulting in a favorable safety profile with no severe treatment-related side effects. DAXXIFY® contains a proven ingredient in treating moderate to severe frown lines for over two decades with 96% of DAXXIFY® recipients expressing satisfaction with their results.
