Fewer appointments. Longer-lasting smoothness. Daxxify at My Aesthetic Doctor in Los Angeles gives you up to six months of wrinkle reduction from a single treatment session, roughly twice the duration of conventional neurotoxins.
The key distinction is longevity. Clinical studies demonstrate that Daxxify maintains wrinkle-smoothing results for a median of six months, compared to the three-to-four-month duration typical of Botox and similar neurotoxins.
My Aesthetic Doctor offers Daxxify as a next-generation option for patients who want fewer office visits without compromising the refined, natural-looking results that define Dr. Fakhre's approach.
Daxxify is suited for adults who currently use neurotoxins and want longer intervals between treatments. It is also an excellent choice for patients new to injectables who prefer a treatment that minimizes the number of maintenance appointments each year.
Dr. Fakhre uses Daxxify to address dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial muscle movement. The most common treatment areas include glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows), horizontal forehead lines, and lateral canthal lines (crow's feet).
My Aesthetic Doctor may also use Daxxify for off-label areas when clinically appropriate, including bunny lines, lip flip, and platysmal bands in the neck.
Daxxify dosing follows a unit-based system similar to other neurotoxins. Dr. Fakhre determines the precise number of units during your consultation based on muscle strength, treatment area size, and your desired outcome. A typical glabellar treatment uses 40 units of Daxxify.
Daxxify's extended duration comes from its proprietary Peptide Exchange Technology. This peptide-based stabilizer enhances the neurotoxin's binding affinity at the neuromuscular junction. The practical result for patients at My Aesthetic Doctor is sustained muscle relaxation without increasing the dose.
For patients with strong masseter muscles that create a square jaw or contribute to teeth grinding, Dr. Fakhre uses Daxxify to relax the muscle and refine the lower face contour. Because Daxxify holds longer at this larger muscle, patients typically maintain a softer jawline shape with fewer touch-up visits each year compared to other neurotoxins.
The primary advantage of Daxxify is duration. With results lasting up to six months, patients at My Aesthetic Doctor can maintain smooth, relaxed skin with just two treatments per year instead of three or four.
Longer intervals between treatments mean fewer appointments. For busy patients in Los Angeles, this translates to less time spent in the office and more consistent results between sessions.
Daxxify is the first neurotoxin to use a synthetic peptide stabilizer rather than human serum albumin. My Aesthetic Doctor finds that some patients prefer this formulation for personal comfort with the ingredient profile.
Dr. Fakhre's injection technique emphasizes precision over volume. Whether using Daxxify for frown lines or forehead creases, the goal at My Aesthetic Doctor is always natural expression, never a frozen appearance.
Dr. Fakhre begins with a detailed facial assessment at our Larchmont office. She evaluates your muscle movement patterns, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to determine if Daxxify is the right neurotoxin for you.
Based on the assessment, Dr. Fakhre maps injection points and calculates the precise Daxxify dosage. My Aesthetic Doctor creates a treatment plan that balances wrinkle reduction with natural facial expression.
The procedure typically takes 15 to 20 minutes. Dr. Fakhre uses ultra-fine needles to deliver Daxxify into targeted muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief pinch at each injection point.
There is no downtime after Daxxify. You can return to normal activities immediately. My Aesthetic Doctor schedules a two-week follow up to assess your response and make any refinements if needed.
Avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol for 48 hours prior to treatment. My Aesthetic Doctor provides a detailed pre-treatment checklist during your consultation to ensure optimal results.
The injection session takes 15 to 20 minutes. Mild redness or pinpoint bruising at injection sites is possible but typically resolves within hours.
Initial effects become visible within one to two days, with full results developing over seven to fourteen days. Dr. Fakhre notes that many Daxxify patients at My Aesthetic Doctor see peak results that hold steady through the four-to-six-month window.
With Daxxify's extended duration, most patients at My Aesthetic Doctor schedule retreatment every five to six months, approximately two visits per year.
Daxxify typically lasts up to six months, compared to three to four months for Botox. This means patients at My Aesthetic Doctor can maintain their results with fewer appointments each year.
Daxxify is priced per unit similarly to other premium neurotoxins. While the per-session cost may be slightly higher, the longer duration means fewer treatments per year. Dr. Fakhre discusses cost and value during your consultation at My Aesthetic Doctor.
Yes. Many patients at My Aesthetic Doctor transition from Botox to Daxxify for the convenience of longer-lasting results. Dr. Fakhre evaluates your treatment history and recommends the best neurotoxin for your needs.
Common side effects include mild headache, injection-site redness, and temporary bruising. These typically resolve within a few days. Serious side effects are rare when treatment is performed by a board-certified physician like Dr. Fakhre.
When administered with precision, Daxxify delivers smooth, natural-looking results. My Aesthetic Doctor focuses on relaxing targeted muscles while preserving your ability to express naturally, never frozen, never overdone.
