At Mitchell Dermatology, Dr. Mitchell and her team of licensed nurses in Perrysburg and Fremont, Ohio, never stand still. Led by Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Hope Mitchell, our practice is always studying and seeking out the latest and greatest technologies and techniques to support our valued patients’ diverse needs. DAXXIFY® is a great fit with our vast menu of advanced products and services, as it is the first “peptide-powered” injectable treatment of its kind to fight wrinkles. Here, you will learn about DAXXIFY® injections in four fast facts.
You likely know neuromodulators, by the brand name “Botox®.” However, Botox® is among a category of products designed to disrupt muscle activity associated with the development and progression of expression lines. DAXXIFY® is described as the first innovation in injectable wrinkle treatments in 20 years. So, while Botox® may be the oldest of the neuromodulators on the market, DAXXIFY® is a fresh approach – with many benefits flowing from its innovation in peptide technology.
Before DAXXIFY®, there was no peptide-powered injectable wrinkle treatment. Additionally, the makers of DAXXIFY® note that its peptide of choice stabilizes the active ingredient. No human blood products or animal byproducts are used (like with conventional expression line treatments). The peptide’s benefits don’t stop there; it also amplifies the attachment of the active ingredient responsible for muscle relaxation and wrinkle softening. Revance Therapeutics describes its unique peptide formulation as functioning like a magnet to make more of the active neurotoxin/protein available. Such unique engineering unlocks fast, lasting results.
DAXXIFY® demonstrated its low-risk, high-reward nature in a phase 3 clinical study that is unprecedented in its scope (for a frown line treatment). The study encompassed more than 2,800 people and 4,444 treatments, with subjects spanning various age groups, skin types, and skin tones. No severe side effects were reported in this large-scale research. Additionally, at least half of patients in clinical studies reportedly had no or minor frown lines six months post-treatment.
Yes, DAXXIFY® is known to be fast-acting and long-lasting, up to 6 months compared to 3-4 months with Botox. Some patients may see improvements in the look of moderate to severe wrinkles on the forehead and between the brows the day after treatment. Unlike other neuromodulators that require “touch-up” treatments every three to four months, patients who undergo DAXXIFY® treatment at the offices of Mitchell Dermatology may only need a touch of treatment once yearly.
