How Does Daxxify Work?
Daxxify belongs to a class of medications called neuromodulators, which work by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles. This relaxation helps to smooth out wrinkles and lines caused by repeated muscle contractions. Here's a closer look at how Daxxify achieves its wrinkle-reducing effects:
Blocking Nerve Signals: Daxxify contains a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, similar to Botox. When injected into specific facial muscles, Daxxify disrupts the communication between nerves and muscles. These blocked nerve signals prevent the muscles from contracting fully, leading to a temporary reduction in muscle activity.
Reduced Muscle Activity, Smoother Skin: With reduced muscle activity, the overlying skin relaxes and becomes smoother. Daxxify is particularly effective for treating moderate to severe frown lines, also known as glabellar lines, between the eyebrows. The wrinkle-relaxing effects of Daxxify typically become noticeable within a few days after treatment and can last for up to 6 months, potentially longer than some other neuromodulators.
