Wrinkle relaxers have long been a go-to solution for smoothing expression lines, but not everyone wants to have to keep up with treatments every few months. Daxxify offers a new alternative that may align better with your goals.
At American Surgical Arts in Mullica Hill, New Jersey, Daxxify is administered by a certified Physician Assistant with advanced training in injectables and facial aesthetics. Backed by the surgical oversight of our double board-certified plastic surgeons, our team delivers safe, effective treatments.
What Are Wrinkle Relaxers?
Wrinkle relaxers, also known as neuromodulators, are a family of non-surgical cosmetic injectables that can be used to treat:
- Forehead Creases
- Frown Lines
- Crow’s Feet
- Bunny Lines
- Smile Lines
- Chin Dimpling
- Neck Bands
Wrinkle relaxers work on dynamic wrinkles that only appear with facial movement and can help you look more youthful.
What Is Daxxify?
Daxxify—often called “Daxi”—is a newer neuromodulator used to soften expression lines. Like other injectable wrinkle relaxers such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau®, it works by temporarily limiting the communication between targeted muscles and nerves. This helps reduce the appearance of lines that form with facial movement while keeping facial expressions looking natural. When treated areas relax, the skin appears smoother and more refreshed during everyday expressions.
What Makes Daxxify Different?
Traditional wrinkle relaxers typically last around three to four months, often requiring patients to return for multiple sessions each year. In contrast, Daxxify has been shown to maintain its effects for six to nine months, offering a longer-lasting option than other available neuromodulators.
In addition to its extended duration, Daxxify has demonstrated strong performance in clinical studies, particularly in individuals with more prominent lines and wrinkles. Some patients treated for frown lines also noticed a softening of forehead lines and subtle improvements in brow positioning, suggesting that Daxxify may provide broader aesthetic benefits with fewer treatments.
Unlike other formulations, Daxxify uses a unique peptide stabilizer that enhances its ability to attach to nerve endings. This innovation extends its longevity and eliminates the need for ingredients derived from animals, making it a more inclusive option for those following vegetarian or vegan lifestyles.
Is Daxxify Safe?
Daxxify was approved by the FDA for cosmetic use in September 2022 and is considered safe for most. However, individuals with known allergies to any of its ingredients should not receive treatment.
In clinical trials, the most frequently reported serious side effects included headache in about 6% of participants, eyelid drooping in 2%, and facial unevenness in 1%. These effects were temporary and generally resolved on their own, reflecting patterns seen with other neuromodulator treatments.
The most common side effects of Daxxify are redness, bruising, and slight discomfort at the injection site. As with more serious risks, these tend to self-correct and should not cause lasting issues.
Daxxify does not require any downtime. You can resume all of your normal activities immediately after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Until I See Results?
Many patients begin noticing improvements within the first couple of days, with the full effect typically developing over several weeks. Clinical studies have shown that 98% of individuals experienced their best results by the end of four weeks.
Am I a Good Candidate for Daxxify?
You may be an ideal Daxxify candidate if you have deep lines or wrinkles on your face and still have good skin elasticity. The best candidates are generally in good health, realistic with their expectations, and willing to take care of their skin following treatment to help amplify and extend results. The best way to learn if you are a good candidate is through a one-on-one consultation with a qualified Daxxify provider.
Can Daxxify Be Combined With Dermal Fillers or Other Med Spa Treatments?
Yes, Daxxify can be safely combined with dermal fillers and other non-surgical med spa treatments when appropriate. Wrinkle relaxers and fillers address different concerns—Daxxify softens expression lines, while fillers restore volume or contour. Many patients choose a combination approach to get more balanced results.
What Should I Avoid After Getting Daxxify Injections?
After treatment, it’s generally recommended to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for the remainder of the day. Patients are also advised to skip strenuous exercise, lying flat, or consuming alcohol for several hours following injections. These precautions help reduce the risk of product migration and support proper settling.
