Smooth lines and a refreshed look? Yes, please. Botox® and Daxxify® are two standout options for softening wrinkles and keeping your skin fresh and youthful.

At Aesthetic Surgery & Dermatology of Cherry Creek, we offer these effective wrinkle-relaxing treatments in Denver, CO. Led by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Adrienne Stewart, who performs every injection herself (unusual at medispas these days!) we provide a wide selection of treatments as part of our results-driven approach.

Understanding How Wrinkle Relaxers Work

Botox and Daxxify are neuromodulators that temporarily slow the nerve signals to muscles that cause expression lines. Relaxing those muscles makes your skin look smoother, and fine lines blur and become less visible. But although they work similarly, there are a few differences.

Botox vs. Daxxify: The Comparison

Here’s how they compare:

  • FDA Approval: Both are FDA-approved for frown lines between the brows. Botox is also FDA-approved for use in other areas, including forehead lines, crow’s feet, and neck bands. In addition, Botox and Daxxify are FDA-approved for non-cosmetic uses such as cervical dystonia (both) and chronic migraine headaches (Botox.)
  • Duration: Botox lasts up to four months(opens in a new tab). In clinical trials, Daxxify lasted six to nine months(opens in a new tab) in many patients.
  • Speed: Botox may start working in as little as 24 hours. Daxxify may show results by the next day(opens in a new tab), with most patients enjoying a noticeable change within two days. With Botox and Daxxify, full results may take a couple of weeks (possibly up to a month) to appear.
  • Formulation: Daxxify uses a special peptide stabilizer and is free from human or animal byproducts.
  • Experience: Botox has been trusted for over 20 years. Daxxify is newer but gaining popularity quickly.

Botox vs. Daxxify: Which Option Is Right for You?

We know that choosing between two great wrinkle control options can be a challenge. That’s why Dr. Stewart and our team of experts take the time to talk through your goals, lifestyle, and treatment preferences.

Botox may be a great fit if you’re looking for a time-tested treatment or if you’ve used it in the past and already feel comfortable with it. Want longer-lasting results and fewer appointments? Daxxify could be the winner, but it’s mainly for one area. We’re happy to discuss benefits of each with you.
