Daxxify is a botulinum toxin type A, daxibotulinumtoxinA, formulated with a stabilizing peptide instead of the human albumin used in some other neurotoxins. Like other neuromodulators, it relaxes the muscles that crease the skin when you frown or squint, so expression lines soften. Its distinct formulation is associated with a longer duration of effect for many patients.
It suits people who like the look of neurotoxin results but want fewer maintenance appointments each year, especially for frown lines between the brows. At our Merrick office, Dr. Vital administers Daxxify personally, assessing your muscle strength and expression patterns to set the dose and placement that keep you smooth while still looking like yourself.

Questions About Daxxify
How long does Daxxify last compared with Botox?
In clinical studies, many patients saw frown line results last around six months, with some lasting longer, compared with the three to four months typical of traditional neurotoxins. Individual results vary with dose, muscle strength and metabolism.
Is Daxxify a good choice for first time patients?
It can be. Daxxify works on the same principle as other neurotoxins, so first time patients often do well with it. Some prefer to begin with a shorter acting option to see how they like the look, and Dr. Vital will help you decide.
Does a Daxxify injection hurt?
Most people feel a brief pinch at each point, and the full treatment takes only a few minutes. No numbing is typically required, though ice can be used for comfort. You can return to your day right after your appointment.
Can I switch to Daxxify from another neurotoxin?
Yes. Many patients switch once their previous treatment has worn off. Units are not interchangeable between brands, so Dr. Vital sets your Daxxify dose based on your anatomy and history rather than copying a prior number.
What to Expect
During your consultation, Dr. Vital reviews your history, past neurotoxin experience and the lines you want to soften. Injection points are marked, and the dose is placed with a fine needle in a few quick pinches. No anesthesia is needed. Stay upright for several hours and skip intense workouts that day. Results begin within days, and a follow up about two weeks later confirms that your outcome is smooth and even.
