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.
Other injectable wrinkle treatments use human blood products to stabilize the active ingredient or neurotoxin. DAXXIFY® is different. It uses special molecules called peptides. So, no human or animal byproducts and proteins are used. Why does this matter? By using peptides, DAXXIFY® is a vegan-friendly option. The lack of animal-based ingredients also makes DAXXIFY® a safe option for individuals with allergies or sensitivities to human-/animal-derived ingredients. The benefits of this unique formulation don’t stop here. The peptides in DAXXIFY® also enhance the absorption of the active ingredients into the muscles. This makes DAXXIFY® a particularly effective treatment. It really works to relax the targeted muscles. Results are also visible quickly and last a long time.
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 up treatment once yearly.
Relax! A truly natural, sustained, safe, and innovative injectable treatment for frown lines is within reach. To find out more, schedule a consultation at our Perrysburg or Fremont, OH, location by calling 419.871.3737 or 419.871.3636, respectively.
