DAXXIFY in Vero Beach Gifford, FL
At Premier Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, board-certified plastic surgeon John Sarbak, MD is proud to provide patients with advanced non-surgical procedures and minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatments. Among the innovative injectables offered is DAXXIFY®, a cutting-edge treatment designed to smooth frown lines and refresh your appearance. What sets DAXXIFY® apart from other neuromodulators is its uniquely long-lasting effects, helping patients enjoy more youthful, natural-looking results for months longer than alternatives.
Whether you are new to injectables or looking for a longer-term option, DAXXIFY® may be the ideal method to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
What Is DAXXIFY®?
DAXXIFY® is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator used to temporarily reduce the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines, also known as frown lines, between the eyebrows. Like other treatments in this category, DAXXIFY® works by gently relaxing the facial muscles that contribute to the formation of expression lines. When the muscles are at rest, the overlying skin becomes smoother, giving the face a more youthful and refreshed look.
What makes DAXXIFY® truly innovative is its formulation. DAXXIFY® uses a proprietary peptide technology, allowing it to deliver outcomes that can not only be effective but also remarkably long-lasting. This can be especially beneficial for patients who want fewer appointments and more time enjoying their results.
What Does the DAXXIFY® Treatment Involve?
Treatment is often quick, precise, and convenient. Most sessions take about 10 to 20 minutes, making it easy to schedule during a lunch break or between daily activities.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Sarbak will evaluate your goals, review your medical history, and determine if DAXXIFY® is the best treatment option for your needs. If you are an ideal candidate, treatment preparation can begin with cleansing of the area, and a topical numbing agent may be applied for added comfort. Using a fine needle, small amounts of DAXXIFY® are carefully injected into targeted muscles, with Dr. Sarbak’s expertise ensuring precise placement for natural-looking results. No downtime is generally required, so patients can typically return to normal activities right away. However, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day.
Some patients may notice a subtle smoothing effect within a few days, with the full results typically visible within two weeks.
How Long Do DAXXIFY® Results Last?
The standout benefit of DAXXIFY® is the duration of its results. While most neuromodulators provide wrinkle-reducing effects for about three to four months, DAXXIFY® has been shown to last up to six months and, in many cases, even nine months.
This extended longevity can mean fewer appointments throughout the year while still maintaining a consistently refreshed appearance. The long-lasting results are due to DAXXIFY®’s unique peptide-powered formulation, which allows the active ingredient to stay effective in the body for a longer period of time.
As with all injectables, results may vary depending on individual factors such as muscle strength, metabolism, and treatment area. Dr. Sarbak will help you understand what to expect during your consultation.
DAXXIFY® vs. BOTOX Cosmetic
Many patients are already familiar with BOTOX® Cosmetic, one of the most widely performed injectable treatments in the world. While both BOTOX® Cosmetic and DAXXIFY® belong to the same category of neuromodulators, there are key differences worth considering:
- Duration of Results – BOTOX® Cosmetic typically lasts three to four months, while DAXXIFY® can last six to nine months.
- Formulation – DAXXIFY® is formulated with a proprietary peptide stabilizer instead of human serum albumin.
- Treatment Frequency – Because of its longer duration, patients who choose DAXXIFY® may only need two treatments per year compared to three to four with BOTOX® Cosmetic.
- Effectiveness – Both injectables can be highly effective at reducing frown lines, and both should be administered by a skilled injector for optimal results.
Some patients may prefer the shorter duration of BOTOX® Cosmetic if they are new to injectables or want more flexibility to adjust results over time. Others may find the extended results of DAXXIFY® to be more convenient and cost-effective in the long run.
Dr. Sarbak will take the time to review your goals, lifestyle, and preferences to help you decide which treatment option is right for you.
If you are ready to experience longer-lasting wrinkle reduction and a smoother, more rejuvenated appearance, DAXXIFY® may be an excellent option for you. To learn more or to schedule a consultation with Dr. Sarbak, please contact Premier Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics today.
