A Longer-Lasting Answer for Frown Lines

Dr. Leif Rogers, MD, FACS, an Ivy League-trained, board-certified plastic surgeon, founded The Standard of Modern Aesthetics (SOMA) on a commitment to advanced, personalized care. His team stays current with the latest injectable technology and offers patients refined options for smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Schedule a consultation with SOMA to find out if DAXXIFY fits your goals.

What Is DAXXIFY?

DAXXIFY is an FDA-approved neuromodulator injection that softens moderate to severe frown lines, the vertical creases that form between the eyebrows. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause this expression, which lets the skin above appear smoother.

What sets DAXXIFY apart is its formulation. It uses a peptide-based stabilizer instead of the human serum albumin found in most traditional neuromodulators, and it contains no animal-derived components. This formulation is designed to extend how long results may last, so patients need fewer appointments to maintain them.

Benefits of DAXXIFY

  • Results that may last significantly longer than with conventional neuromodulators
  • A peptide-formulated injectable free of human serum albumin and animal-derived ingredients
  • Visible smoothing of moderate to severe frown lines
  • Fewer treatment visits needed to maintain results
  • Little to no downtime after the appointment
  • A non-surgical option with no incisions

Am I a Good Candidate for DAXXIFY?

DAXXIFY may be a good option for adults who want to soften frown lines and prefer a neuromodulator with a longer duration of effect. Good candidates are generally healthy, with realistic expectations and no known neuromuscular condition. Those who are pregnant, nursing, or allergic to any ingredient in the formula are not candidates. A consultation with SOMA's clinical team confirms whether DAXXIFY fits your needs.

Why Choose SOMA for DAXXIFY?

SOMA brings the same precision and personalization to injectable treatments as it does to surgery. The clinical team is trained in advanced neuromodulator techniques, and every visit takes place in a refined, discreet Beverly Hills setting built around individualized care.

Your Consultation

A DAXXIFY consultation at SOMA begins with a conversation about your goals and a close assessment of your frown lines and facial anatomy. From there, the clinical team builds a customized injection plan and walks you through what to expect from treatment and recovery.

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost of DAXXIFY varies based on the number of units needed and the extent of correction desired, both determined during your consultation. SOMA also offers financing options to help make treatment more accessible. Visit the SOMA financing page to learn more.

What to Expect During DAXXIFY Treatment

Before Your Appointment

Patients avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for a short period beforehand, as directed by SOMA's clinical team. The treatment area is cleansed, and any final questions are addressed before injections begin.

During the Injection

DAXXIFY is injected directly into the muscles between the brows using a fine needle. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch, and the appointment typically takes just a few minutes.

Right After Treatment

Patients can usually return to normal activities immediately, with any specific aftercare instructions provided by the clinical team before leaving.

DAXXIFY Recovery

Recovery from DAXXIFY is minimal. Some patients notice slight redness, swelling, or small bumps at the injection sites, which usually resolve within a few hours to a day. Bruising is possible but uncommon, and most patients return to their regular routine right after leaving SOMA.

Patients are typically advised to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for several hours and to skip intense exercise for the rest of the day. These precautions help the formula settle properly into the targeted muscles.

DAXXIFY Results

Results from DAXXIFY typically begin to appear within a day or two and continue to develop over the following week, with many patients experiencing a median duration of about six months. The look is designed to soften frown lines while preserving natural expression elsewhere on the face.

DAXXIFY FAQs

Can DAXXIFY be used anywhere other than frown lines?

DAXXIFY is FDA-approved specifically for moderate to severe glabellar lines, the frown lines between the eyebrows. Any use outside this approved indication should be discussed directly with SOMA's clinical team.

Can I switch from BOTOX to DAXXIFY?

Yes. Many patients transition between neuromodulators based on their goals. SOMA's clinical team can review your treatment history and recommend the best time to start DAXXIFY.

Can DAXXIFY's effects be reversed?

No. Unlike dermal fillers, neuromodulators such as DAXXIFY cannot be dissolved or reversed. Effects fade gradually on their own as muscle activity returns to normal.

What happens when DAXXIFY starts to wear off?

Muscle activity gradually returns, so frown lines tend to reappear little by little rather than all at once. Scheduling a follow-up treatment before this happens helps maintain consistent results.

Do results change with repeated DAXXIFY treatments over time?

Results tend to remain consistent with repeated treatments. Many patients find that staying on a regular schedule helps maintain a smoother appearance long term.

Are there any serious risks with DAXXIFY?

As with other botulinum toxin injections, DAXXIFY carries a rare but serious risk of the toxin's effects spreading beyond the treatment area, which in very rare cases can affect breathing or swallowing. SOMA's clinical team reviews these risks in detail during your consultation.

Is there an ideal age to start DAXXIFY?

There isn't a single ideal age. DAXXIFY is appropriate for adults who have developed moderate to severe frown lines and want a longer-lasting neuromodulator option, regardless of whether they've had prior injectable treatments.
