DAXXIFY®

Frown lines often develop naturally over time as repeated facial expressions cause wrinkles to deepen, leading to the appearance of the “elevens” between the eyebrows. These vertical creases can not only make you look older than you are, but they also convey emotions you may not actually be feeling, such as concern, stress, or anger. While there are other neurotoxins available to soften frown lines, DAXXIFY® stands out for its specially formulated peptide-based solution, which allows the injectable to smooth and reduce these glabellar creases faster than other products — and often with longer-lasting results.

At OC Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Ali Sepehr personally performs injections with the meticulousness and care of a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon who has spent his entire career focusing exclusively on facial aesthetics, giving individuals the confidence of knowing they’re receiving the highest standards of treatment.

What is DAXXIFY®?

DAXXIFY® is an FDA-approved neurotoxin designed to soften and smooth the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines — the vertical creases that form between the eyebrows due to overactive muscle activity. Similar to other botulinum toxin type A injectables, such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport®,  DAXXIFY® works by relaxing the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. However, what sets it apart is its use of a proprietary peptide formula, which allows the product to stabilize without using human or animal-derived ingredients. This unique formulation helps DAXXIFY® last longer within the targeted region, creating extended smoothness and a more enduring youthful effect.

What are the Benefits of Frown Line Treatment with DAXXIFY®?

In addition to its effectiveness as a powerful form of non-surgical cosmetic enhancement, the many benefits of DAXXIFY® generally include:

One of the most significant advantages of DAXXIFY® is its longevity. Clinical studies show results can last an average of 6 months, with some patients enjoying the rejuvenative effects for up to 9 months — almost double the duration of many traditional neurotoxins. This extended effectiveness often translates to fewer appointments per year, and more consistent aesthetic results.

Who is a Good Candidate for DAXXIFY®?

Most healthy adults who wish to soften moderate to severe frown lines can be good candidates for DAXXIFY®, particularly if they believe they look more stressed, tense, or older than they feel. Patients who have previously used other neurotoxins but desire longer-lasting results often find DAXXIFY® to be an appealing upgrade. Those interested in DAXXIFY® injections should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and understand that results are temporary, although often more enduring compared to other treatments.

How are DAXXIFY® Injections Performed?

After discussing your treatment goals and an evaluation of your concerns, Dr. Sepehr will map out the injection points that target the muscles responsible for frown lines, primarily the corrugator and procerus muscles. Injections are administered in-office at our Newport Beach practice using a fine needle, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. The entire appointment generally lasts 10 to 15 minutes, making injections easy and convenient.

DAXXIFY® offers a smooth consistency and an advanced formulation, so it integrates well into the tissue for natural-looking and refined results. Patients can typically resume normal activities immediately afterward, although minor redness at the injection sites or swelling may occur.

Does DAXXIFY® Require Any Downtime?

There is no significant downtime after DAXXIFY® injections. Most individuals can return to work, errands, or social plans right after their appointment. Any temporary effects, like mild redness, small bumps at the injection site, or minor tenderness, tend to fade naturally within a few hours. Full results usually develop within a few days, with the effects continuing to refine as the neuromodulator settles.

How Much Does DAXXIFY® Cost?

The cost of DAXXIFY® is personalized according to each person’s treatment regimen. Factors unique to each patient will affect your price estimate, such as:

Many individuals who seek out treatment with neurotoxins and dermal fillers utilize plastic surgery financing options like CareCredit® and Prosper® Healthcare Lending to make their injections more affordable. For qualified patients, these companies can help provide manageable payment plans — often with low- to no-interest options.
