If you’re looking in the mirror and noticing more wrinkles on your face, don’t panic—wrinkles are a completely normal part of aging. They occur due to a combination of less collagen production as you get older, long-term sun exposure, repeated facial expressions, and sometimes even genetics. Over time, the creases that form as a result of these conditions become more prominent, resulting in wrinkles.
While the appearance of wrinkles isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s okay not to like the look of them. If you have wrinkles or want to prevent wrinkles from forming, then we have the perfect solution for you: wrinkle relaxers. More specifically, at AESTHETICS 360º in Milwaukee, we offer Daxxify, the newest, most-talked-about wrinkle relaxer treatment in the cosmetic world. Read on to learn how it works and its many benefits for your skin.
What Are Wrinkle Relaxers?
Wrinkle relaxers are prescription medications that are injected directly into the muscles of the face. They block nerve signals, relaxing the muscles that would typically crease and cause expression lines, such as crow’s feet. They’re most commonly injected between the eyebrows, on the forehead, and around the eyes to soften and smooth the skin in those areas. Oftentimes, people will use wrinkle relaxers in combination with dermal fillers and lasers to achieve maximum results.
Why Choose Daxxify as a Wrinkle Relaxer?
Although there are many types of wrinkle relaxers, such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau, Daxxify has been a welcome and long-awaited addition to the cosmetic world. It was approved by the FDA in September of 2022 and has already shown some amazing results.
Daxxify is a peptide-enhanced neurotoxin. With a few injections, this neurotoxin attacks frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet by preventing, softening, and reducing the severity of wrinkles. As an added bonus, it even rejuvenates the proteins in your skin (collagen and elastin). That means Daxxify doesn’t just reduce wrinkles—it also makes your skin healthier than it was when you started. It’s skin care and a wrinkle treatment all in one!
Additionally, Daxxify is fast-acting. Many people notice results within 48 hours. (That’s not long to wait for better skin!) In some cases, you might even see results the next day, making Daxxify one of the quickest wrinkle relaxer treatments. It’s a great option for people who procrastinate before big events and need to see results fast.
Wrinkle Relaxers vs Botox: What’s the Difference?
At AESTHETICS 360º, we absolutely love Botox, and we use it regularly to achieve our patients’ skin goals. But it’s important to note that everybody is different, and there are multiple factors that differentiate Botox and Daxxify.
Daxxify and Botox both contain the same active ingredient: botulinum toxin type A. But their lasting effects are different. Botox has been found to last approximately three to four months. Meanwhile, in clinical trials, the median duration for Daxxify results was six months, with a small percentage of individuals experiencing results up to nine months.
That means you can stretch out the time between appointments more! Daxxify requires nearly half the upkeep, as most Botox patients need maintenance injections 3 to 4 times a year, and those with Daxxify only twice.
Botox can also be used for both cosmetic and medical purposes, such as helping with migraines or excessive sweating. Daxxify, however, is only approved for treating wrinkles. Most importantly, they’re not interchangeable due to their different strengths. One unit of Botox is not equal to one unit of Daxxify, which means they can’t be swapped.
Why We Believe in Daxxify
Daxxify was tested in one of the largest-ever clinical studies for frown line treatments, and included more than 2,800 people across different ages and skin types. As mentioned, its active ingredient is botulinum toxin type A, which has been used in the cosmetic industry for more than 20 years.
We wouldn’t offer Daxxify (or any treatment for that matter) unless we believed in it wholeheartedly. And to prove it, our owner, Charlotte Fairburn, tried it herself. She noticed significant improvements in her glabellar lines (vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows) the morning after her treatment, and a gradual boost in her skin’s quality.
Charlotte had been getting Botox treatments for 24 years (Wow!) prior to switching to Daxxify to see the difference. After seeing the results, she was eager to pass her revelation on to the valued clients of Aesthetics 360°.
How to Schedule a Daxxify Treatment
If you’ve decided that you’re ready to combat forehead wrinkles and rejuvenate your skin with the help of Daxxify, here’s how you can schedule treatments.
As mentioned, Daxxify is a newer treatment, and we will want to determine if it’s right for you. To find out, you’ll start by booking a free consultation. At this appointment, we’ll sit down with you, listen to your facial aesthetic concerns and goals, perform an anatomical assessment, and determine if Daxxify or Botox is the best choice for addressing your needs.
At that point, if you’re ready to go, we can perform your wrinkle relaxing treatment that same day if you choose, or find a date that works best for you! And if it turns out you’re not a perfect fit for Daxxify, no worries! We offer many alternative wrinkle treatments. With this consultation, we’ll find one that works for you and your skin.
What To Expect From a Daxxify Treatment
Now that we’ve given you the thumbs up on Daxxify, what can you expect? What does a Daxxify treatment actually look like?
Well, with words like “treatment,” “injection,” and “neurotoxin,” you might be a little overwhelmed, and that’s understandable. But don’t worry: this is a non-invasive and quick treatment. In fact, once you’ve finished the procedure, you can simply go about your day. You’ll be in and out of our MediSpa in about 30 minutes.
Step 1: Preparation
A series of photos will be taken so we have a baseline with which to compare results after two weeks. Once seated comfortably in the treatment chair, our Nurse will mark areas to be injected and use a vein finder called Accuvein to visualize your vasculature. Think of it as a magic light to actually see through the surface of your skin to make sure we aren’t hitting any vessels. This greatly reduces the chance of bruising.
Step 2: The Injections
With your photos taken, skin prepped and disinfected, and all markings complete, you will experience a tiny needle poke in anywhere from five to twenty spots as a small amount of product is injected into the muscle (depending on what areas are being treated). The actual injecting literally only takes about two minutes!
Step 3: After the Procedure
Once the treatment is complete, our nurse will thoroughly review post-treatment care and make sure there aren’t any outstanding questions. You can go about your day for the most part. The post-treatment restrictions are no exercise for the rest of the day, and you can’t lie down for four hours (no massages, facials, yoga, etc).
Step 4: Follow-Up Appointment
Results will start to take place within 2-5 days, with the full evolution of results in two weeks. A two-week procedure follow-up appointment will be scheduled before you leave our office. This is important so we can take “after” photos to show results. In addition, our nurse will assess the final outcome and look for any asymmetry or more movement than you care to have. If needed, we can then adjust the dose.
Step 5: Contact Us Whenever!
