Looking in the mirror and noticing lines that were not there a few years ago can surprise you. You may see lines between your brows or horizontally across your forehead that make you look tired or stressed, even when you feel fine. Over time, repeated facial expressions can create lasting marks that creams or serums may not improve.
Daxxify® in Nashville can temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, also called glabellar lines, between the eyebrows. This injectable treatment relaxes the specific facial muscles that cause these wrinkles. Our practitioners administer this treatment under the guidance of our plastic surgeon. If you seek a long-lasting option that will help you look smoother and more refreshed, Daxxify® may be worth exploring.
How Does Daxxify® Work To Smooth Wrinkles?
Daxxify® is a neuromodulator made from botulinum toxin type A, the same type of purified protein other well-known wrinkle relaxers use. It blocks the nerve signals that tell corresponding facial muscles to contract. When those muscles are temporarily relaxed, the skin over them can smooth out, softening the appearance of expression lines.
In this procedure, the plastic surgeon introduces a series of small injections into targeted muscles, most commonly in the area between the eyebrows. When you visit our Nashville office for your Daxxify® treatment, your provider will carefully assess your facial movement and customize the injection placements to match your goals. The appointment is usually quick, and many people return to normal activities the same day.
Clinical studies have shown that Daxxify® can last longer than some other botulinum toxin type A products. In trials, many patients found that their frown lines improved for a median duration of about six months, and some saw results that lasted up to nine months. It is the longer-term effects this option provides that interest many people.
The Benefits of Daxxify® Treatments
One of the main benefits of Daxxify® treatments is the temporary smoothing of moderate-to-severe glabellar lines. Reducing the muscle activity that causes these lines can help you look more relaxed and feel more confident in social and professional settings.
Because Daxxify® has demonstrated more durable results in clinical studies, some patients may need fewer visits to maintain their look. Choosing Daxxify® in our Nashville office means choosing a treatment designed for longevity.
Daxxify® is also formulated without human or animal byproducts and uses proprietary peptide technology to stabilize the product. As with any neuromodulator, side effects are generally mild. Your provider will review your medical history and discuss the possible risks to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.
