Daxxify vs. Botox: Comparison
Active Ingredient
Both Daxxify and Botox are neuromodulators that use botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax muscles and smooth wrinkles. However, Daxxify is formulated with a unique peptide that helps it last longer than Botox.
Duration of Results
•Daxxify: Typically lasts 6 months or longer, with some patients experiencing results that last even longer. This makes Daxxify an excellent option for those who prefer fewer touch-ups.
•Botox: Results last approximately 3-4 months, meaning more frequent touch-ups are needed for maintaining the desired look.
Onset of Results
•Daxxify: Results typically begin to show within 1-2 days, with full results visible within 1-2 weeks.
•Botox: Botox also shows initial results within 2-3 days, with full results visible within 7-10 days.
Side Effects
Both Daxxify and Botox have similar potential side effects, such as mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. However, because of its different formulation, Daxxify may be less likely to cause certain side effects, and it generally provides a smoother, more gradual effect.
Units per Treatment
•Daxxify: Typically requires more units than Botox for similar results. For instance, forehead treatments may need about 30-80 units of Daxxify.
