Botulinum Toxin A)Botulinum toxin (Type A) is a cosmetic injection that blocks the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. This effect relaxes and smooths the look of lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive movements on the face—most commonly, between the brows, crows-feet around the eyes, and horizontal forehead creases.
Botulinum toxin is also used cosmetically to balance facial asymmetry and relax tight neck bands, as well as medically to reduce perspiration, treat migraine headaches and muscle spasticity.
When to Consider Botulinum Toxin
Deep lines between your eyes make you look tired, angry, sad, or upset.
Your facial expressions cause wrinkles in and around your eyes and forehead.
There is asymmetry in your eyebrows or face that can be corrected by relaxing a muscle.
You suffer from migraine headaches and botulinum toxin may provide relief from this condition

What is DAXXIFYTM and how is it different? Conventional injectables last 3 – 4 months and require up to 4 treatments a year to maintain results. Nearly 90% of patients say they wish results lasted longer. With DAXXIFYTM you can keep your frown lines smoother for a full year with as few as 2 treatments.*
*At least 50% of patients in clinical studies had no or minor frown lines 6 months after treatment. Between 3% and 5% of patients in clinical studies had no or minor frown lines 9 months after treatment. In other safety studies, between 5% and 17% of patients still had noticeable improvement 9 months later.
Why are peptides important?
All frown line treatments require a special ingredient to stabilize botulinum toxin A, the protein responsible for helping smooth moderate to severe frown lines. For instance, BOTOX® Cosmetic uses human serum albumin (HSA), a blood product, as its stabilizer. Dysport®, another frown line treatment, uses HSA as a stabilizer and cow’s milk protein as a protectant.
DAXXIFYTM is unique because it is the only formulation that uses a novel peptide as a
stabilizer and does not contain human or animal byproducts. Is DAXXIFYTM well studied? DAXXIFYTM was studied in the largest-ever clinical study conducted for a frown line treatment and included more than 2,400 people across different ages and skin types.
There were no serious treatment-related side effects in clinical trials for DAXXIFYTM
The active ingredient in DAXXIFYTM is botulinum toxin type A, an ingredient that has been used in frown line treatments for more than 20 years
96% of people treated with DAXXIFYTM were satisfied with their results† †96% of patients reported they were satisfied on a 7-point scale when evaluated at 4 weeks in clinical studies.
