Daxxify

1. Consultation

• A provider assesses your facial anatomy, medical history, and goals.
• They determine if Daxxify is suitable for you (ideal for glabellar lines, but may be used off-label for other areas).
• Discuss expected results, longevity, and potential side effects.

2. Preparation

• No special prep is needed, but avoid:
  • Blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen) 1–2 days prior (to reduce bruising).
  • Alcohol 24 hours before (can increase swelling).
• The provider may apply a numbing cream (though pain is minimal—most describe it as tiny pinches).

3. Injection Process (10–15 minutes)

• Target Area: Typically the glabellar complex (11 lines between eyebrows).
• Technique:
  • The provider marks injection points (usually 5 small injections for frown lines).
  • A fine needle delivers precise doses into the muscles (e.g., corrugator and procerus muscles).
• Pain Level: Minimal—some compare it to a quick mosquito bite.

4. Post-Treatment Care

• Avoid for 24 Hours:
  • Strenuous exercise
  • Rubbing/massaging the area (to prevent toxin migration).
  • Lying flat (to avoid spreading the product).
• Temporary Side Effects:
  • Mild redness, swelling, or bruising (resolves in hours/days).
  • Rare: Headache or slight eyelid heaviness (if near brows).

5. Results Timeline

• Starts Working: Initial effects in 2–3 days (faster than some toxins).
• Full Results: Visible in 1–2 weeks.
• Duration: Lasts 6+ months (longer than Botox’s 3–4 months for most patients).
• Touch-Ups: Can be done after 2 weeks if adjustments are needed.

6. Follow-Up & Maintenance

• Next Treatment: Typically every 6–9 months (varies by metabolism).
• Long-Term Use: With repeated treatments, muscles may atrophy slightly, potentially prolonging results.
