Daxxify Frown Line Treatment in Mount Kisco, New York
Skin Theory Aesthetics offers Daxxify treatment to soften frown lines between the brows. Our board-certified Nurse Practitioner places every injection with utmost care.
Longer-Lasting Frown Line Treatment With Daxxify
Many of our patients love the results from a wrinkle relaxer for a short time. However, they dislike the repeated appointments because the lines become visible within a few months. No one has time for repetitive treatments in this busy era.
Daxxify is one of the well-praised alternatives to Botox. It is recommended for patients who dislike the hassle of multiple touch-ups. It is an advanced neuromodulator built to last longer than the conventional options. For many patients, this may mean fewer treatment visits compared with traditional wrinkle relaxers.
We also keep our methodology straightforward. Take note that Daxxify lasts longer in most patients, but not in every patient. We explain what the data shows before the procedure starts.
What Is Daxxify?
Daxxify is scientifically known as daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm, and it is a prescription botulinum toxin type A injection. The product is made by Revance, and it gained FDA approval in September 2022. It has been used for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults.
Do you know what glabellar lines are? They are the vertical "11" lines that you may notice between the eyebrows when you frown.
Skin Theory Aesthetics has a board-certified Nurse Practitioner who performs Daxxify injections in Mount Kisco, NY 10549. We welcome patients from across Westchester County.
Peptide Exchange Technology in Daxxify
Frown lines are dynamic wrinkles because they change constantly. They come from two small muscles, the corrugator and the procerus, that pull the brows together. Daxxify injection will inhibit the nerve signal to these muscles. This reduces muscle activity, so the skin above them can look smoother.
Daxxify and other similar treatments for frown lines have different formulas. Daxxify uses Peptide Exchange Technology. It is a stabilizing peptide in place of human serum albumin. Revance mentions that the product contains no human or animal-based components.
Daxxify vs Botox and Dysport
Patients often ask us to explain Daxxify vs Botox or Dysport before they can make a decision. First of all, these three are neuromodulators. However, they are different in terms of the formula and the lasting effect of the procedure.
| Feature | Daxxify | Botox | Dysport |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active ingredient | daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm | onabotulinumtoxinA | abobotulinumtoxinA |
| Stabilizer | Peptide (no human serum albumin) | Human serum albumin | Human serum albumin |
| Typical duration for frown lines | Median of about 6 months in trials | About 3 to 4 months | About 3 to 4 months |
| FDA cosmetic approval | Frown lines | Frown lines and other areas | Frown lines |
Note: The units do not transfer between brands. You cannot select the number of Daxxify units based on the Botox dosage. A professional will recommend a suitable dosage for you.
Do you prefer a classic option? We also offer Botox and Dysport.
How Long Does Daxxify Last?
One of the most prominent questions is about the results and their duration. In the SAKURA Phase 3 trials, the median duration was about six months . This implies that half of the patients still had minimal or no frown lines at six months.
Let’s be clear upfront: half of the patients noticed frown lines earlier. The results were also collected at nine months and only a small share of trial patients still had none or mild lines. Reports by Revance put that figure at 5% in one study and 3% in the other.
The outcome depends on your muscle strength and your metabolism. Your dose is also an important factor. We track how your first treatment wears off, then use that to plan your next visit.
Who Can Benefit From Daxxify?
Daxxify for frown lines is suitable for adults with visible "11" lines when they frown. It works best on lines caused by movement rather than deep creases that stay etched at rest.
You may get this procedure if:
- The Botox or Dysport results go away earlier than you want
- You want fewer injection visits per year
- You prefer a formula without human serum albumin
- You dislike the visible frown lines
Daxxify should not be administered to patients with a known allergy to the product, its ingredients, or other botulinum toxin preparations, or those with an infection at the planned injection site. Patients with certain neuromuscular disorders require additional medical assessment. Safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established.

Revance reports that results can appear as early as one day. Most trial patients saw change within two days.
-

The full effect settles in. This is the best time to judge your result.
-

-
After month 6:

Side Effects and Aftercare After Daxxify
Most Daxxify side effects are mild and short-lived. In clinical trials, the most common were headache and eyelid ptosis. A small number of patients saw facial asymmetry.
Because Daxxify lasts longer, any unwanted effect may also last longer. This is the trade-off few clinics mention. It is one reason we start with careful, measured dosing.
Simple aftercare helps your result settle well:
- Stay upright for a few hours after treatment
- Avoid rubbing or pressing the treated area that day
- Skip intense exercise until the next day

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Daxxify used for?
Daxxify is FDA-approved to temporarily improve moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows in adults. It helps relax the corrugator and procerus muscles that produce these lines.
Is Daxxify better than Botox?
While it is not for everyone, Daxxify does seem to last longer. In trials, Daxxify lasted for a median time of approximately six months for frown lines. The effects of Botox generally last for three to four months. This depends on what you want to achieve and how your body responds to the treatment.
When will I see the results of Daxxify?
Revance trial data shows that many patients experience a change within one to two days. The complete effect may not be seen until after two weeks. The two-week mark is the best time to assess your result.
Are there human or animal ingredients in Daxxify?
No. Daxxify uses a stabilizing peptide in place of human serum albumin. Revance states that the formula is free from human or animal ingredients. This sets it apart from Botox and Dysport, which both contain human serum albumin.
What are the side effects of Daxxify?
The most common side effects in trials were headache and eyelid ptosis. Facial asymmetry was observed in a few patients. Daxxify has a longer duration of action, so any side effects may also last longer. Therefore, it is important to be careful with dosing.
What is the price of Daxxify at Skin Theory Aesthetics?
The price of Daxxify will be based on the number of units used and the area being treated. We will provide an exact quote following your consultation. The longer-lasting result can also mean fewer visits per year.
Is it possible to change from Botox to Daxxify?
Yes, many patients make the switch from Botox or Dysport to Daxxify. Units are not interchangeable across brands, so your provider will determine a new dose. It is useful to mention how long your previous results lasted.
