When Julia started getting injections at 35, it was about prevention. “I didn’t have deep wrinkles yet, but I knew enough to understand that starting early could keep them from forming,” she recalls. Over the years she tried different brands, and while they worked, she noticed the same frustrating cycle: the first few weeks never looked quite right and the results wore off too quickly. That changed when she switched to Daxxify.
“Before I used to use a different brand, but I noticed the results didn’t last as long,” says Julia, a 47-year-old patient of Miami dermatologist Annie Gonzalez, MD. “With Daxxify, I’m usually extremely happy right away and the results last way longer. Sometimes I only go in once a year. To me, that’s amazing.”
A New Kind of Refresh
Julia times her treatments to milestones like her birthday or major events. “I’m not the type of person that sees a little line and runs to the doctor,” she explains. “Less is more. I want to age gracefully and still be able to move my face. With Daxxify I can look refreshed without feeling frozen.”
She says past treatments left her waiting weeks for her face to settle. With Daxxify, the difference was immediate. “The whole point is to look better, not wait for it to wear off,” she says. “From day one the results are perfect to me.”
What Makes Daxxify Different?
According to Dr. Gonzalez, the answer lies in the formulation. “Daxxify is the first and only FDA-approved neurotoxin that uses peptide-powered technology,” she explains. “Other products rely on human albumin as a stabilizer, but Daxxify contains no human or animal protein. Instead, it uses a synthetic peptide, which is what allows it to act fast and last longer.”
That longer duration is what appeals to patients says Dr. Gonzalez. “Most people can get as little as two treatments per year,” she explains. “And many start seeing results in just one or two days. For patients with busy schedules that is a game changer.”
Other Benefits of Daxxify
There’s also an unexpected bonus: skin quality. “Many patients notice their skin looks smoother and more radiant after treatment,” Dr. Gonzalez says. “That glow is something that sets Daxxify apart.”
While the treatment is only FDA-approved for frown lines, doctors are exploring its use in other areas off-label. “In the lower face I do see slightly longer results, but because dosing hasn’t been formally studied, it depends on the patient and the provider,” Dr. Gonzalez notes.
For Julia, it comes back to looking like herself. “I don’t want to change my face. I just want to prevent wrinkles from forming and look refreshed,” she says. “With Daxxify I have nothing but incredible results every single time. I don’t see myself going back.”
