What Are The Benefits of Daxxify?
Daxxify® (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is FDA-approved for treating moderate to severe glabellar frown lines (11 lines) using proprietary peptide exchange technology that delivers the longest-lasting results of any FDA-approved neuromodulator. Dr. Z also uses Daxxify off-label for forehead lines, crow's feet, brow lift, neck bands (Nefertiti lift), masseter reduction (jaw slimming), and chin dimpling. Daxxify's defining advantage is duration: clinical trial data showed a median result duration of 6 months, with a significant portion of patients maintaining results at 9 months — compared to 3–4 months with Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin. This means 2 treatments per year instead of 3–4. Results appear within 2–3 days, last 6–9 months, and deliver natural-looking smoothness with zero downtime and minimal side effects.
Treatment Areas: What Can Daxxify Treat?
Daxxify is FDA-approved specifically for glabellar lines (the "11s") and offers the unique advantage of extended 6–9 month duration across all treatment areas. Like other neuromodulators, Daxxify is also used off-label for a variety of cosmetic applications — with the added benefit of results that last significantly longer between appointments.
Daxxify for Frown Lines (11 Lines)

The "11 lines" between your eyebrows are caused by repeated frowning, squinting, and concentrating—movements that engage the corrugator and procerus muscles. Over time, these dynamic wrinkles become etched into the skin, creating a tired, angry, or stressed appearance even when your face is at rest.
Learn more about 11 lines treatment and how neuromodulators can smooth this common concern.
Daxxify for Forehead Lines

Horizontal forehead lines are another common complaint—these wrinkles form from raising your eyebrows repeatedly over the years. Xeomin can smooth these lines by relaxing the frontalis muscle (the muscle that lifts your brows).
Daxxify for Crow's Feet

Crow's feet—the fine lines that radiate from the outer corners of your eyes when you smile or squint—are one of the most popular treatment areas for neuromodulators.
Expert Wrinkle Treatments at Z Dermatology
Daxxify for Bunny Lines

The diagonal wrinkles that appear across the bridge of the nose when you scrunch your face can be softened with precise, low-dose Xeomin injections into the nasalis muscle.
Daxxify Lip Flip for a gummy smile

A small amount of Xeomin placed along the upper lip border relaxes the orbicularis oris muscle, gently rolling the lip outward for a fuller, more defined appearance without adding volume.

Daxxify for Chin dimpling

Overactive mentalis muscle activity causes the chin to appear bumpy or "orange peel" in texture, and Xeomin can relax this muscle to create a smoother, more refined chin contour.
Daxxify for Nefertiti lift

Strategic injections along the platysmal bands of the neck and along the jawline create a subtle lifting effect, improving jaw definition and softening vertical neck cords.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Daxxify?
Daxxify is ideal for patients who have been using neuromodulators consistently for years and are ready for longer intervals between treatments — reducing annual appointments from 3–4 down to 2–3. It is also an excellent choice for patients with busy schedules, significant travel, or anyone who wants to simplify their aesthetic maintenance routine. Good candidates are in overall good health with realistic expectations about results that last 6–9 months. Because Daxxify's effects last longer, Dr. Z recommends that first-time neuromodulator patients typically start with a shorter-acting product (Botox, Dysport, or Jeuveau) to assess their individual response before committing to Daxxify's extended duration. Daxxify is not suitable for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neuromuscular disorders. During your consultation, Dr. Z will evaluate your treatment history, facial anatomy, and goals to determine whether Daxxify is the right choice for you.
How Long Does Daxxify
Last?
Daxxify lasts approximately 6–9 months — nearly twice as long as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau. In clinical trials, the median duration was 6 months, with a significant portion of patients maintaining results through 9 months. This extended duration means most Daxxify patients need only 2 treatments per year instead of 3–4. Duration still varies from person to person based on metabolism, muscle activity, dosage, and lifestyle factors (e.g., exercise, sun exposure) — but Daxxify consistently outperforms all other FDA-approved neuromodulators in longevity. If fewer annual appointments is a priority, Daxxify is the clear choice.
How Much Does Daxxify Cost in Baton Rouge?
Daxxify at Z Aesthetic Dermatology is priced per unit, and while the per-treatment investment is higher than Botox or Dysport, most patients find the overall annual cost comparable — or even lower — when factoring in that Daxxify's 6–9 month duration means only 2 treatments per year instead of 3–4. Your exact cost depends on your treatment areas and the dosage Dr. Z recommends based on your facial anatomy and goals, which she will outline clearly at your consultation before any treatment begins. Financing options are available through CareCredit and PatientFi to make Daxxify's longer-lasting results accessible on your terms.

What is Daxxify®?
Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is the newest and longest-lasting FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A neuromodulator, developed by Revance Therapeutics and approved by the FDA in 2022. Unlike all other neuromodulators, Daxxify uses proprietary peptide exchange technology instead of accessory proteins for stabilization — a fundamentally different approach that delivers significantly extended duration.

How Daxxify
Works
Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is a botulinum toxin type A neuromodulator developed by Revance Therapeutics and FDA-approved in 2022 — making it the most recently approved and the longest-lasting neuromodulator available. Like all neuromodulators, Daxxify works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause facial muscles to contract, relaxing the muscles and smoothing the wrinkles they create.
What makes Daxxify fundamentally different from every other neuromodulator is its peptide exchange technology. Instead of relying on accessory proteins for stabilization (like Botox and Dysport) or eliminating them entirely (like Xeomin), Daxxify uses a proprietary stabilizing peptide — a small peptide molecule that bonds directly to the botulinum toxin to help anchor it at the neuromuscular junction.
This peptide mechanism is the key to Daxxify's extended duration. By providing a more stable bond at the injection site, Daxxify's effects persist significantly longer before the toxin degrades and muscle activity returns.
Clinical trial results:
Median duration in clinical trials: 6 months
Significant portion of patients: results maintained at 9 months
FDA-approved glabellar dose: 40 units (versus 20 units for Botox)
Time to onset: 2–3 days
What does this mean for you?
Fewer appointments per year: 2 treatments instead of 3–4 means less time in the office and less cumulative treatment.
No new safety trade-offs: Daxxify's clinical trial data confirms a safety profile comparable to other approved neuromodulators.
Peptide — not a protein: Unlike accessory proteins in Botox, Daxxify's stabilizing peptide is a fundamentally different molecule with a different mechanism — it does not carry the same theoretical antibody-resistance concern.
Daxxify is the natural next step for patients who have mastered their neuromodulator routine and are ready to upgrade to longer-lasting results.
What Is The Daxxify Treatment Process?
One of the most appreciated aspects of Daxxify treatment at Z Aesthetic Dermatology is knowing that the results you leave with will last — potentially for up to 9 months. The entire process — from consultation to walking out the door — is designed around your comfort, your schedule, and your desire for long-lasting, natural-looking results that fit your life. Dr. Z has spent over 15 years perfecting her injection technique, and every Daxxify appointment reflects that commitment to precision, personalization, and care.
During your treatment, Dr. Z will inject Daxxify using an ultra-fine needle with expert precision developed through thousands of procedures. The FDA-approved dose for glabellar lines is 40 units, and Dr. Z will calibrate your complete treatment plan based on your anatomy and goals. Topical numbing cream is available to minimize any discomfort, though most patients describe the injections as a quick pinch comparable to Botox. The entire appointment takes just 10–15 minutes, and bruising is uncommon. Results begin appearing within 2–3 days, with full effects visible by 10–14 days. Your natural-looking results will last 6–9 months before maintenance is needed. You can return to work immediately after treatment, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours.

Client Testimonials
Daxxify vs. Botox vs. Dysport vs. Xeomin — Which Neuromodulator Is Right for You?
All of our most popular neuromodulators in Baton Rouge, Daxxify, Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, and Letybo, are formulations of botulinum toxin type A, but each has a distinct clinical profile. Daxxify stands apart from all others with its 6–9 month duration — nearly twice as long as every other option — made possible by its unique peptide exchange technology. Botox is the gold standard with the broadest FDA-approved cosmetic indications and the most extensive long-term safety data. Dysport diffuses more broadly for large treatment areas and onsets faster (2–3 days). Xeomin is a "naked" protein-free formula that may reduce long-term antibody resistance risk. Jeuveau is a cost-competitive alternative with fast onset. Letybo is the newest option with a low-protein, highly purified formula.
Not sure which neuromodulator is right for you? Consider the following:
- If you want the longest-lasting results available and prefer fewer annual appointments, Daxxify is your best option.
- If you are new to neuromodulators, starting with Botox or Dysport lets you assess your individual response before committing to Daxxify's extended duration.
- If you want fast onset for a large area like the full forehead, Dysport is the preferred choice.
- If you have been using Botox for years and feel it is becoming less effective, Xeomin, Letybo, or Daxxify may provide better outcomes.
- The most accurate recommendation comes from a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Z, who will evaluate your anatomy, treatment history, and goals to guide you toward the best choice.
Daxxify Aftercare Tips
Taking the best care of your skin after Daxxify will prolong your results and help prevent future signs of aging.
After receiving Daxxify injections, you don’t have to worry about a lengthy recovery. You can return to your daily routine right after. Some patients may experience a slight tingling sensation in the injection area. This feeling subsides within a few hours.
For optimal results, avoid touching or massaging the treatment area. Doing so may cause the toxin to migrate to other regions of the face. We also recommend you refrain from wearing makeup for 24 hours after your Daxxify
appointment. This gives your face time to adjust to the treatment and minimizes the chances of infections. Our skin experts will tell you more about Daxxify
aftercare during your visit.
Daxxify Frequently Asked Questions
Is Daxxify better than Botox?
Whether Daxxify is "better" than Botox depends on your individual goals and treatment history. Daxxify's primary advantage is its duration — results last six to nine months compared to Botox's three to four months, meaning fewer appointments per year. For patients who have been maintaining Botox consistently and are looking for a more convenient, longer-lasting alternative, Daxxify is frequently the preferred choice. Botox remains an excellent option, particularly for patients new to neuromodulators or those being treated in areas outside of Daxxify's current FDA-approved indication.
How long does Daxxify really last?
In clinical trials, Daxxify demonstrated a median duration of six months, with a significant portion of patients maintaining results at nine months — making it the longest-lasting FDA-approved neuromodulator available. Individual results vary based on factors like metabolism, muscle mass, dosage, and treatment area, but most patients at Z Aesthetic Dermatology reliably experience results that outlast their previous neuromodulator by several months. Dr. Z will discuss realistic expectations for your specific anatomy during your consultation.
Does Daxxify hurt more than Botox?
No — Daxxify injections are not more painful than Botox. The treatment is administered with the same fine-gauge needles used for traditional neuromodulator injections, and most patients describe the sensation as a small, brief pinch at each injection point. Z Aesthetic Dermatology offers topical numbing cream and ice application prior to treatment to maximize your comfort, and the entire injection process is typically completed in ten to fifteen minutes.
Can I switch from Botox to Daxxify?
Yes, and many patients make this switch seamlessly. If you have been satisfied with your Botox results but are interested in longer-lasting outcomes and fewer annual appointments, Daxxify is an excellent transition. Dr. Z will review your treatment history and timing of your last Botox appointment to ensure Daxxify is introduced at the appropriate interval. There is no required wash-out period in most cases, and many patients notice that Daxxify provides a noticeably more extended result than they experienced with Botox.
How many units of Daxxify do I need for 11 lines?
The FDA-approved dosage for Daxxify frown line treatment is 40 units, with a range of 40 to 80 units studied in clinical trials. The appropriate dose for you depends on the strength of your glabellar muscles, the depth of your lines, and your desired outcome. Dr. Z performs a comprehensive face mapping assessment at every consultation to determine the precise dosage that will deliver the smoothest, most natural-looking result for your specific anatomy. Daxxify units are not equivalent to Botox units, so the numbers should not be compared directly.
Is Daxxify safe? What are the side effects?
Daxxify is FDA-approved and has a well-established safety profile supported by robust clinical trial data. The most commonly reported side effects include temporary redness, mild swelling, or bruising at the injection sites — all of which typically resolve within a few hours to a day. In rare cases, patients may experience headache or temporary eyelid heaviness, which are also associated with other neuromodulators and resolve on their own. Serious adverse events are rare when Daxxify is administered by a qualified, experienced injector like Dr. Z, making provider selection one of the most important safety factors.
When can I wear makeup after Daxxify?
You can typically return to wearing makeup within a few hours of your Daxxify treatment, as long as you avoid rubbing or applying significant pressure to the treated areas. Dr. Z generally recommends waiting at least four hours before applying any makeup over injection sites, and advises against any vigorous facial massage or skincare manipulation on the day of treatment. After the first twenty-four hours, your normal skincare and makeup routine can be fully resumed without restriction.
Can I get Daxxify if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Daxxify, like all botulinum toxin neuromodulators, is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Daxxify, like all botulinum toxin neuromodulators, is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Although there is no clinical evidence of harm, adequate safety data in pregnant or nursing individuals does not exist, and the precautionary standard in aesthetic medicine is to defer elective injectable treatments until after pregnancy and the breastfeeding period have concluded. Dr. Z will discuss your complete medical history at your consultation and ensure that your treatment plan is fully safe and appropriate for your current health status.

No - Daxxify is an elective cosmetic treatment and is not covered by health insurance plans.
