The Specifics
What is Daxxify?
Daxxify by Revance is uniquely formulated neuromodulator injectable treatment in the same family as conventional botulinum toxin indicated for the treatment of glabellar lines (frown lines). Daxxify blocks the ability of nerves and muscles to communicate in the area where treatment is administered. By preventing nerve signals from reaching the muscle, a flaccid paralysis is induced (no movement).
Unlike typical neuromodulator treatments, Daxxify uses Peptide Xchange Technology (PXT) to prolong the benefit of a single injection for up to twice as long as typical botulinum toxin treatments. It also eliminates the need for human serum albumin (HSA). Daxxify contains no accessory proteins, human components, or animal derivatives.
What cosmetic concerns does Daxxify treat?
Daxxify is FDA approved for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines). By blocking muscle activity, Daxxify smooths and evens skin. Regular Daxxify treatments can provide noninvasive skin rejuvenation for a more youthful appearance.
Who is the ideal candidate for Daxxify?
The ideal Daxxify candidate is looking for a safe, well practiced, and more durable solution to common frown lines. Younger candidates may benefit from earlier use of Daxxify to lessen the appearance of aging and maintain skin laxity. Daxxify is not recommended for those under eighteen, women who are pregnant or nursing, anyone with an allergy to the components of Daxxify, or those with certain chronic medical conditions.
What is the average recovery associated with Daxxify?
Most patients experience minimal side effects lasting no more than 24 hours. Minor swelling, discomfort, and minimal redness typically resolve almost immediately after the injection. Many candidates resume normal activities directly after the session.
What are the potential side effects of Daxxify?
Common and mild side effects of Daxxify injections include redness, dryness, and flaking. Warmth, itchiness, tightness, infection, and bruising may also occur at the injection sites. More serious, and less common complications of Daxxify include double vision, muscle spasms or severe weakness, hoarseness, and difficulty breathing. Severe allergic reactions can occur.
What can someone expect from the results of Daxxify?
Daxxify results are temporary and typically are noticeable one to two days after an injection with full results visible two weeks from a session. They require maintenance treatments every six to nine months depending on the treatment area.
What is the average cost of Daxxify?
The average cost of Daxxify is $200 to $1,800. It is, on average, about double the cost of other botulinum toxin injections. The actual cost of the injection will vary by procedure, location, injector, and individual candidate needs.
Pros
- Faster Results
- Longer Lasting Lasting Results
Cons
- More Expensive Than Similar Procedures
- Some Individuals May Develop Sensitivity Reactions To Components Of The Formulation
Invasiveness Score
Invasiveness is graded based on factors such as anesthesia practices, incisions, and recovery notes common to this procedure.
What to Expect

The Takeaway
Daxxify by Revance therapeutics is a unique form of the neurotoxin botulinum toxin type A. Clinical trials have shown daxibotulinumtoxina-lanm uses novel peptides to relax facial muscles and reduce muscle contractions to meaningfully reduce the appearance of facial lines, fine lines, and severe frown lines. Products similar to Daxxify include Xeomin®, Dysport®, Botox® Cosmetic, or Jeuveau®.
