If you've been counting the weeks between your neurotoxin appointments, Daxxify might change the way you think about wrinkle treatments. This peptide-powered injectable is FDA-approved to treat expression lines and lasts for an average of six months, which means fewer visits and more time enjoying smoother skin. At The Swan Center in Alpharetta, GA, we are pleased to offer patients throughout the Atlanta area this next-generation neurotoxin.
Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is an FDA-approved injectable used to treat moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, also called glabellar lines or “the 11s.” Like Botox and Dysport, Daxxify works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted facial muscles, relaxing the muscle and softening the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.
Dynamic wrinkles are caused by repeated facial expressions, like winking, frowning or smiling. They are most visible during movement, but over time, can become etched deeper into the skin, especially as elasticity diminishes with age. By reducing the activity of the muscles that lead to dynamic wrinkles, the overlying skin stays smooth. Neurotoxins like Daxxify not only soften the appearance of existing wrinkles but can stop new ones from developing.
What sets Daxxify apart is its formulation. While other neurotoxins use human serum albumin (a blood-derived protein) as a stabilizer, Daxxify is the first and only neuromodulator powered by Peptide Exchange Technology™ (PXT). This novel peptide is the first significant innovation the neurotoxin market has seen in years and helps the toxin bind more effectively to nerve receptors, contributing to its extended duration. The result is a treatment that lasts nearly twice as long as traditional options — six months on average, according to clinical studies.
Daxxify is FDA-approved for treating glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows). Many experienced injectors also use Daxxify off-label to address:
Daxxify addresses many of the same concerns as other neurotoxins, but its long-lasting effects make it a popular choice for those who want more longevity from their wrinkle reduction treatments. During your consultation, our skilled nurse injectors will assess your facial anatomy and discuss which areas may benefit from treatment.
Daxxify is suitable for both men and women who want to soften the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles. While Daxxify is safe for those new to neurotoxins, your provider may recommend starting with a shorter-acting product first to establish a baseline. At The Swan Center, our skilled nurse injectors typically recommend Daxxify for patients who:
Daxxify’s longer-lasting results appeal to experienced Botox and Dysport users and anyone who wants to maintain smoother skin with fewer appointments. Its peptide formula can also give you the “Daxi glow,” reducing expression lines while enhancing your skin’s overall radiance.
Daxxify injections at The Swan Center are quick and require no downtime. Here’s what your appointment looks like:
Your experienced provider will cleanse the treatment area and may apply a topical numbing cream for comfort, though many patients find this unnecessary. Using a fine needle, your injector will then administer Daxxify into specific points within the targeted muscles. For frown lines, this typically involves five injection sites between and above the eyebrows.
The entire treatment takes about 10 to 15 minutes. You can return to normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours and keeping your head upright for four hours after treatment.
Many patients notice initial improvement within one to two days after their Daxxify injection, making it one of the fastest-acting neurotoxins available. Full results typically become visible within two weeks as the targeted muscles fully relax and frown lines smooth out.
Because Daxxify’s effects develop gradually, you won’t experience a sudden, dramatic change. Instead, you’ll notice your skin looking progressively more refreshed over the first week or two, with results that appear natural rather than “frozen.”
At The Swan Center, your Daxxify treatment will be performed by one of our skilled nurse injectors, each trained alongside our board-certified plastic surgeons. Jordan Dupree, RN, BSN, Victoria Armistead, RN, BSN, and Natalie Jackson, RN, have years of combined experience and an artistic eye when it comes to creating natural yet noticeable results.

Daxxify has a safety profile similar to other FDA-approved neurotoxins. The most common side effects in clinical trials included headache (7%), injection site reactions (6%) and eyelid drooping (2%). These effects are typically mild and resolve on their own.
Like other neurotoxins, Daxxify’s effects cannot be reversed once injected, so choosing an experienced provider is critical to achieve results you’ll love. At The Swan Center, our licensed nurse injectors have trained alongside our board-certified plastic surgeons and understand facial anatomy at an advanced level.
Daxxify isn’t necessarily “better” than Botox or Dysport, but it is different. All three are FDA-approved neurotoxins that relax the muscles responsible for expression lines. The main difference is how long the results last. Botox and Dysport typically last three to four months for most patients. Daxxify is designed to last longer, with results averaging about six months.
That said, shorter-acting neurotoxins still have their place. Some patients prefer the flexibility of a product that wears off sooner, especially if they’re new to injections or want subtle adjustments more frequently. During your consultation, your provider will help you decide which option best fits your goals, lifestyle and treatment history.
Yes, and making the switch is pretty straightforward! Your injector will recommend waiting until your current treatment has fully worn off before switching for accurate assessment and dosing. At The Swan Center, many of our Alpharetta and North Atlanta patients choose Daxxify because it fits more easily into their busy work and travel schedules.
Absolutely. Many patients combine Daxxify with dermal fillers for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Neurotoxins address dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement, while fillers restore lost volume and smooth static lines. Your injector can recommend a treatment plan that addresses multiple concerns in a single visit or staged over time.
