Can DAXXIFY® Work for Multiple Skin Types?
&srotate=0)
Unlike certain laser treatments and chemical peels, cosmetic injectables are typically considered suitable for almost any skin type — though it is still important to consult with a knowledgeable provider to learn whether you may be an appropriate candidate for your desired injections. One of our most popular types of cosmetic injectables at Adean Kingston, M.D., PLLC, in Dallas, TX, is DAXXIFY, which is designed to smooth out dynamic lines and wrinkles — or those associated with repetitive muscle movements, like smiling, frowning, and squinting.
Because DAXXIFY is considered safe and effective for most skin types and ages, you may be excited to learn that you are likely a candidate for these wrinkle-relaxing injections. Here, you'll find answers from board-certified dermatologist Dr. Adean Kingston to some of the most common DAXXIFY FAQs to better understand whether DAXXIFY injections are right for you.
What does DAXXIFY do?
DAXXIFY is classified as a neuromodulator — or wrinkle-relaxer — that works to temporarily paralyze targeted facial muscles, allowing the overlying skin to relax and smooth out. This helps to minimize the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and creases associated with the movement and contraction of those particular muscles. These lines are known as dynamic wrinkles, and may include:
- Forehead lines
- Brow lines
- Glabellar lines (1, 11, and 111 lines)
- Crow's feet
- Smile lines
- Frown lines
Am I eligible for DAXXIFY?
Generally speaking, DAXXIFY is safe for most men and women — including those with a wide range of skin types. However, Dr. Kingston or one of our aesthetic injectors will always perform a thorough skin assessment and review of your medical history before administering any treatment to ensure you are an appropriate candidate. For DAXXIFY specifically, candidates should be over the age of 18, in good health, have no allergies to any of the ingredients in DAXXIFY, and desire a reduction in the appearance of expressive facial lines and wrinkles.
Should I get BOTOX® or DAXXIFY?
One of the most commonly asked questions when it comes to wrinkle relaxers is how DAXXIFY compares to BOTOX and, ultimately, whether BOTOX vs. DAXXIFY is the appropriate choice for you. Both injections are designed specifically for smoothing out dynamic lines and wrinkles, though some patients find that one or the other simply works better for them, meaning their results look more natural, last longer, or are superior in some other way.
On average, patients tend to report that DAXXIFY lasts longer than BOTOX — up to six months vs. 3 – 4 months — but, again, each patient's experience is unique. If you have additional questions about whether BOTOX or DAXXIFY may be the most appropriate option for you, don't hesitate to ask during your initial consultation.
Does DAXXIFY make lines disappear?
DAXXIFY results will vary from person to person depending on how much DAXXIFY is injected, the severity of the patient's lines and wrinkles, and other individual factors. For mild lines and wrinkles, patients may enjoy a smooth complexion after DAXXIFY treatment, while deeper or stronger dynamic lines may be dramatically improved though still subtly visible. Additionally, we can recommend "touch-up" DAXXIFY as needed to further relax visible lines and wrinkles after an initial round of injections, keeping your look consistently smooth and youthful.
