WHAT IS DAXXIFY?
Daxxify is a new injectable medication that is FDA-approved to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines (glabellar lines) in adults. It works by blocking certain nerve signals from interacting with the targeted facial muscles, which causes the muscles to relax and the wrinkles to smooth out.
Daxxify is similar to Botox in how it works, but it has some important differences. First, Daxxify uses a new peptide exchange technology that allows it to attach to the receptor more effectively. This means that the effects of Daxxify last longer than the effects of Botox. In clinical studies, Daxxify was shown to last for a median duration of 6 months, while Botox typically lasts for 3-4 months.
Second, Daxxify is the only neuromodulator that is free from human serum albumin. This means that it is a good option for people who have allergies to human serum albumin or who prefer to avoid products that contain animal-based components.

- Duration: Daxxify has a longer duration of action than Botox, with a median duration of 6 months compared to 3-4 months for Botox.

DAXXIFY FAQ’s
DAXXIFY
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.
DAXXIFY®
Approved frown line dose: 40 Units
Amount of active ingredient: 0.18 nanograms
BOTOX® Cosmetic
Approved frown line dose: 20 Units
Amount of active ingredient: 0.18 nanograms
As you can see, despite the number of Units, DAXXIFY® isn’t 2x the dose of BOTOX® Cosmetic. Talk to your provider about DAXXIFY® and your aesthetic goals.
DAXXIFY® is the only long-lasting frown line treatment powered by a peptide.
Results last on average 6 months and up to 9 months for some.†
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.
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.
†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.
