At Nova Medical Skincare, we're proud to offer DAXXIFY, an advanced injectable that smooths wrinkles with results lasting a longer period of time. Like Botox, DAXXIFY works by relaxing the muscles that cause expression lines, such as those around the eyes, forehead, and between the brows, giving you a more youthful, refreshed appearance. We take a personalized approach, carefully assessing your skin and facial structure to deliver natural-looking, precise results. With no downtime required, DAXXIFY is a quick, effective treatment that helps you look your best with fewer visits.
FAQ
1. What is DAXXIFY?
DAXXIFY is a next-generation injectable treatment designed to temporarily smooth wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing the muscles responsible for dynamic facial expressions, such as those around the forehead, eyes, and between the brows. It’s a cutting-edge neurotoxin that provides longer-lasting results compared to traditional Botox treatments.
2. How long do the effects of DAXXIFY last?
One of the key benefits of DAXXIFY is it tends to last longer than other neurotoxins. This leads to reducing the need for frequent touch-ups.
3. How does DAXXIFY differ from Botox?
Both DAXXIFY and Botox work similarly by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, but DAXXIFY uses a unique formulation that allows the results to last longer. It’s a newer treatment with a longer duration of action, making it an ideal choice for those seeking fewer maintenance appointments.
4. Is DAXXIFY safe?
Yes, DAXXIFY is FDA-approved and has undergone extensive clinical testing to ensure its safety and effectiveness. When performed by a skilled, licensed injector, DAXXIFY is a safe treatment with minimal risk of side effects.
5. What areas can be treated with DAXXIFY?
DAXXIFY is commonly used to treat dynamic wrinkles in areas like the forehead, crow’s feet around the eyes, and frown lines between the brows. We will assess your specific concerns and tailor the treatment to suit your individual needs.
6. How long does the DAXXIFY treatment take?
DAXXIFY injection appointments are around 30-45 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. Dr. Sheikh takes her time with her patients, assessing their skin, discussing the patient's desired outcome, areas of concern, etc. Most patients can return to their regular activities immediately following the treatment.
7. Are there any side effects?
Common side effects are mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. In rare cases, some patients may experience a headache or mild drooping of the eyelid. These side effects usually resolve within a few hours to a few days.
8. How soon will I see results from DAXXIFY?
The effects of DAXXIFY typically begin to show within 2-3 days, with full results visible in 7-10 days. You’ll notice a smoother, more youthful appearance as the treatment relaxes the muscles and softens wrinkles.
9. Who is a good candidate for DAXXIFY?
DAXXIFY is ideal for individuals looking to reduce the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles caused by muscle movement. It’s most commonly used by people aged 30-60, but it can be effective for younger or older individuals depending on their concerns. DAXXIFY is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women or those with certain neuromuscular conditions.
10. How do I prepare for my DAXXIFY treatment?
There is minimal preparation required for DAXXIFY. We recommend avoiding blood-thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen for a few days before your treatment to reduce the risk of bruising. Additionally, it’s helpful to avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior to your appointment.
11. What should I do after my DAXXIFY treatment?
After your treatment, avoid lying down or touching the treated area for at least 4 hours. It’s also best to refrain from vigorous exercise and avoid excessive heat (like saunas or hot showers) for 24 hours to ensure the best results. Other than that, you can return to your normal routine immediately.
12. How much does DAXXIFY cost?
The cost of DAXXIFY varies depending on the areas being treated and the number of units required. During your consultation, we will provide a personalized quote based on your aesthetic goals and treatment plan.
