No, not necessarily. The most common side effects observed in clinical trials occurred within one to two weeks after injection and lasted only a short while. This is consistent with other frown line treatments.

DAXXIFY® is well-studied, with no serious treatment-related side effects seen in large-scale clinical trials.

If you’re like most people, you probably get a frown line treatment around twice a year. But here’s the thing: conventional treatments only last 3–4 months. If you are not able to get treated every 3-4 months, that means you may spend the next 2-3 months of the year with those frown lines staring back at you between treatments. That’s up to 4-6 months of total wear off time per year!

In clinical trials, at least 50% of patients showed results in frown lines at 6 months.

All frown line treatments require a special ingredient to stabilize botulinum toxin A, the protein responsible for helping smooth moderate to severe frown lines. For instance, Botox® Cosmetic uses human serum albumin (HSA), a blood product, as its stabilizer. Dysport®, another frown line treatment, uses HSA as a stabilizer and cow’s milk protein as a protectant.

DAXXIFY® is unique because it is the only formulation that uses a novel peptide as a stabilizer and does not contain human or animal byproducts.

DAXXIFY® is manufactured in California, and the only prescription frown line treatment made in the United States. Conventional frown line treatments are manufactured in other countries, then imported into the United States.

In short, no, and here’s why. Units are like fingerprints—they are a proprietary measurement of a treatment’s unique potency.

Because of the differences in how treatments are formulated and tested, you cannot compare or convert Units between them, just like you cannot compare 2 fingerprints.

A clearer way to understand dosing is to look at how many nanograms of active ingredient (botulinum toxin type A) a product has.

On average, many people start getting Daxxify in their mid twenties to early thirties as preventative maintenance. Although, there is no requirement, it is highly dependent on factors such as lifestyle, genetics, and skin type.
