01
Best Candidates
The best candidates for DAXXIFY are healthy men and women who want to soften moderate to severe frown lines, forehead lines, or crow's feet without surgery. It is an especially appealing option for busy patients who like the results of BOTOX but would rather come in twice a year instead of three or four times a year. DAXXIFY is not recommended for patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or who have a neuromuscular disorder such as myasthenia gravis or ALS. During your consultation, Dr. Trott will review your medical history, examine your facial anatomy, and determine whether DAXXIFY, BOTOX, or another treatment best fits your goals.
02
What to Expect
A DAXXIFY treatment is quick and comfortable, usually taking about 15 to 20 minutes. Dr. Trott uses a very fine needle to place tiny amounts of the product into the specific muscles responsible for the lines being treated. Most patients describe the sensation as a series of small pinches, and no anesthesia is required, though a topical numbing cream is available. There is little to no downtime, and most patients return to their normal activities right away. You will be asked to avoid rubbing the treated areas, strenuous exercise, and lying flat for a few hours after treatment. Subtle softening typically begins within one to three days, with full results visible in about one to two weeks.
03
Other Considerations
DAXXIFY results are not instant, so plan your treatment at least two weeks ahead of any important event. Mild, temporary side effects can include small bumps at the injection sites, headache, or slight bruising, which usually resolve within a few days. Because DAXXIFY lasts longer than traditional neuromodulators, precise dosing and placement matter even more: a treatment that lasts six months should look beautiful for all six months. This is why Dr. Trott treats every neuromodulator patient personally and tailors each dosing plan to your individual muscle strength and facial anatomy. If you are new to wrinkle relaxers and unsure whether you want to commit to a longer-lasting option, Dr. Trott can help you weigh the benefits of DAXXIFY against BOTOX based on your lifestyle and budget.
04
Smooth for Six Months
DAXXIFY was developed for patients who want their results to keep up with their lives. In clinical studies, the majority of patients maintained little to no visible frown lines at six months after treatment, making it the longest-lasting frown line relaxer available today. Fewer appointments, a consistently smooth appearance, and the same natural, rested look Dr. Trott is known for. Contact Suzanne A. Trott, M.D., F.A.C.S. in Beverly Hills, CA to schedule your consultation and find out whether DAXXIFY is the right wrinkle relaxer for you.
