Daxxify in Traverse City, MI — The Neurotoxin That Lasts Longer
FDA-approved injectable that smooths wrinkles for up to six to nine months using innovative peptide technology — fewer appointments, longer-lasting results.
Treatment Time:10-20 minutes
Downtime:None
Results Last:6-9 months
FDA Approved:Yes (2022)
The Challenge
Tired of Rebooking Every Three to Four Months?
A Longer-Lasting Alternative
Traditional neurotoxins like Botox and Dysport deliver excellent wrinkle reduction, but their effects typically fade within three to four months. For busy patients, that means scheduling four or more treatment sessions each year just to maintain results. Each visit means coordinating time off work, arranging childcare, or driving from surrounding towns like Petoskey or Cadillac. Over time, the cycle of frequent rebooking becomes inconvenient and can feel like a constant obligation rather than a simple maintenance routine.
Daxxify changes the equation by offering wrinkle-smoothing results that last six to nine months — roughly twice as long as traditional options. Powered by a novel peptide technology instead of human serum albumin, Daxxify keeps the active ingredient at the injection site longer. That means fewer office visits per year, less time spent scheduling appointments, and a smoother, more relaxed appearance that holds through the seasons. Our team at Eternal Wellness tailors every Daxxify treatment to your unique facial anatomy for results that look natural, not frozen.
What Is Daxxify?
Next-Generation Peptide Neurotoxin
Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin manufactured by Revance Therapeutics. Approved in September 2022 for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines between the brows), Daxxify is the first neurotoxin to use a proprietary peptide as a stabilizer instead of human serum albumin or animal-based proteins. This unique formulation allows the active molecule to bind more effectively at the neuromuscular junction, producing results that last significantly longer than other neuromodulators on the market.
Like all botulinum toxin type A products, Daxxify works by temporarily blocking the release of acetylcholine at the nerve-muscle junction. This prevents the targeted facial muscles from contracting, which smooths the overlying skin and softens dynamic wrinkles. The difference lies in Daxxify's peptide exchange technology: the proprietary peptide helps the toxin molecule remain stable and active at the injection site for an extended period. Clinical trials demonstrated a median duration of approximately six months, with many patients experiencing results lasting up to nine months.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Daxxify?
Candidacy and Considerations
Daxxify is ideal for adults who want to reduce moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles with fewer maintenance appointments per year. If you already use Botox or Dysport and wish your results lasted longer, Daxxify may be the right next step.
Ideal Candidates for Daxxify
- Adults aged 18 and older with moderate to severe glabellar lines or other dynamic wrinkles
- Patients who want longer-lasting results with fewer treatment sessions per year
- Current neurotoxin users looking for extended duration without changing their routine
- Individuals in good overall health with realistic expectations about outcomes
Who Should Wait or Avoid Daxxify
- Known hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin type A or any Daxxify component
- Active skin infection or inflammation at the planned injection site
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Diagnosed neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome
During your consultation at Eternal Wellness Medical Spa, your provider will review your medical history, assess your facial anatomy, and determine whether Daxxify is the safest and most effective option for your goals.
Daxxify Treatment Overview
Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed and marked. Ice or topical numbing is available for comfort, though most patients find injections very tolerable.
Injection
Using fine-gauge needles, your provider places precise doses of Daxxify into the targeted muscles. The entire process takes 10 to 20 minutes.
Aftercare
You receive aftercare instructions and can return to normal activities immediately. Avoid rubbing the treated area for 24 hours.
Side Effects and Safety
What to Know
Daxxify has been studied in multiple FDA clinical trials involving over 2,700 patients, with a well-established safety profile. The most common side effects are mild and temporary, including:
- Headache — the most frequently reported side effect, typically resolving within 24 to 48 hours
- Injection site reactions — mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment area
- Eyelid ptosis — temporary drooping of the eyelid, occurring in a small percentage of patients
Serious side effects are rare but can include difficulty swallowing, breathing, or speaking if the toxin spreads beyond the injection site. These symptoms have been reported with all botulinum toxin products and are more associated with therapeutic (higher) doses than cosmetic use.
At Eternal Wellness Medical Spa, we minimize risk through precise injection technique, thorough pre-treatment screening, and adherence to manufacturer guidelines. Your provider will discuss all potential risks during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.

Daxxify FAQ
Answers to Common Questions
01 How long does Daxxify last compared to Botox?
Daxxify results typically last six to nine months, while Botox lasts three to four months. This means you may need only two Daxxify treatments per year instead of three to four Botox sessions.
02 Is Daxxify FDA approved?
Yes. Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) received FDA approval in September 2022 for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults.
03 Does Daxxify hurt?
Most patients describe a brief pinch during injection. The needles are very fine, and treatments take only 10 to 20 minutes. Ice or topical numbing can be applied for additional comfort.
04 Can I switch from Botox to Daxxify?
Yes. Many patients transition from Botox or Dysport to Daxxify for longer-lasting results. We recommend scheduling your first Daxxify treatment when your current neurotoxin has fully worn off.
05 What makes Daxxify different from other neurotoxins?
Daxxify uses a novel peptide stabilizer instead of human serum albumin, which helps the product remain active at the injection site longer. This is why results last approximately twice as long as traditional options.
06 When will I see results from Daxxify?
Initial smoothing often appears within two to four days, with full results visible at approximately two weeks — similar to the timeline for other neurotoxins.
07 Are there any restrictions after Daxxify?
Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for 24 hours. We also recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, saunas, and lying flat for four hours after treatment.
