Daxxify by Revance

What is Daxxify?

This September, Revance announced that the US FDA approved Daxxify*, a neuromodulator, for the temporary improvement of frown lines and wrinkles in adults. It is the first of its kind to be stabilized with Peptide Exchange Technology. It is produced free of human serum albumin and animal-based components. A significant differentiator is that it addresses the need for longer duration of treatment effect, which is seen as an unmet need with existing neuromodulators available. Neuromodulators are most commonly used to treat wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes, and they can provide a number of cosmetic benefits, including reducing the appearance of wrinkles, preventing new wrinkles from forming, and giving the face a smoother, more youthful appearance. In addition to their cosmetic benefits, neuromodulators can also be used to treat a number of medical conditions, including excessive sweating and chronic migraines.

How long does Daxxify last?

While other products like Botox last roughly three to six months, Daxxify has shown to last up to nine months.* Revance, the company producing Daxxify, currently offers fillers in the RHA Collection. Fillers like RHA provide a number of cosmetic benefits, including reducing the appearance of wrinkles, enhancing facial contours, and restoring volume to the face.

When will Daxxify be available near me?

While Daxxify is FDA-approved, the treatment is not yet available – dermatology offices like ours should be receiving shipments in the coming months. Read more about the release of Daxxify in the September press release.

Daxxify is a neuromodulator, which functions similarly to Botox, Jeuveau, Dysport, and Xeomin. Botox is a brand name for a type of neuromodulator called botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin is a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, and it works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is involved in muscle contractions. When injected into a muscle, botulinum toxin can cause temporary paralysis, which is why it is commonly used in cosmetic procedures to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by relaxing the muscles that cause them.
