Meet the Experts
What Is Daxxify?
Daxxifyis the newest neuromodulator on the market that’s meant to last longer than brands like Botox.
“Its mechanism of action is very similar to Botox Cosmetic,” Dr. Karimi says.
What Is Botox?
Botoxwas the first treatment of its kind and was FDA-approved over20 years ago.
Botox Cosmetic works at the interface between the muscle and nerve.
“Temporarily reducing muscle activity results in softeningfine lines and wrinkles,” she says.
For a consumer,the primary difference is that Daxxify advertises results lasting nearly twice as long as Botox.
Botox just has that decades-long, legacy status.
“Botox is used more for functional issues worldwide than cosmetic ones.
Daxxify currently does not have an indication for functional disorders, but it will in the future.
Both products are safe, effective, and can produce excellent results when administered by a trained professional.”
However, both experts say there are a few factors to consider when choosing between Daxxify and Botox.
The Final Takeaway
Daxxify and Botox offer similar benefits, helping to smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
However, each treatment’s composition and the duration of results vary.
Ultimately, deciding between Daxxify or Botox will come down to personal factors.
“Botox Cosmetic and Daxxify pricing varies quite a bit depending on your location and practitioner.”
“We utilize Botox Cosmetic and Daxxify at Rejuva Medical Aesthetics,” Dr. Karimi adds.
