DURATION
A Daxxify appointment at The Spa by Sheena lasts 15 to 20 minutes, including the consultation and the injections.
PROCEDURE TYPE
Daxxify is classified as a cosmetic procedure, used electively to soften expression lines rather than to treat a medical condition.
BODY AREA
Daxxify at The Spa by Sheena is injected on the face, most commonly into the glabellar lines (the '11s'), forehead, crow's feet, and bunny lines.
INDICATION
Daxxify at The Spa by Sheena treats dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expression, with results that typically last 6 months versus the 3 to 4 month average for Botox or Dysport.
THE PROTOCOL
What is Daxxify?
Daxxify is daxibotulinumtoxinA, the newest FDA-approved neurotoxin available. It works through the same mechanism as Botox and Dysport, blocking the nerve signal that tells facial muscles to contract. The formulation is what sets it apart. Daxxify is stabilized with a peptide instead of human or animal proteins, which is part of why it lasts longer than other options.
What to expect from your Daxxify appointment
A neurotoxin session takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The injector reviews the areas you want addressed, then places small amounts of product into the targeted muscles with a fine needle. Most patients describe it as a quick pinch at each injection point.
After your appointment, you may notice small temporary bumps at each injection site. These resolve quickly. Some patients bruise; if you do, expect it to clear within 7 to 10 days.
Keep your head upright and avoid lying flat for the first few hours. Skip makeup for 3 hours, sweating and exercise for 12 hours, and flying for 48 hours. Onset varies by product (2 to 5 days for visible softening), with full results at about 2 weeks. Treated areas typically hold for 3 to 4 months for Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, and about 6 months for Daxxify.
Benefits of Botox
6-MONTH RESULTS
Lasts about twice as long as Botox or Dysport—fewer maintenance appointments per year.
FEWER VISITS
Most patients treat twice a year instead of 3 to 4 times—convenient for busy schedules.
LOWER PER-UNIT COST
$7 per unit compared to $14 for Botox—per-treatment cost is roughly half.
WRINKLE SOFTENING
Same neurotoxin effect on dynamic wrinkles, with a stronger receptor binding for longer duration.
FDA-APPROVED
Newest FDA-approved neurotoxin with growing track record for safety and long-lasting results.
THE APPOINTMENT
Inside a Daxxify appointment
A session takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The technique is the same as any other neurotoxin treatment: small amounts of product placed precisely into the target muscles with a fine needle. Most patients see softening in 2 to 3 days, with full results at about 2 weeks.
GOOD TO KNOW
How Daxxify compares to Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin
Where Botox and Dysport typically last 3 to 4 months, Daxxify lasts an average of 6 months. Some patients get up to 9. Longer duration means fewer maintenance appointments per year. The trade-off, cost per session is higher than Botox or Dysport, but cost per month often works out lower because you're treating less often. For patients who travel a lot, have a demanding schedule, or simply prefer fewer appointments, Daxxify is often the better fit.
FAQ
Your questions, answered
We’ve answered some of the most common questions below to help make your experience simple, transparent, and stress-free.
Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved neurotoxin that lasts significantly longer than Botox—average 6 months vs. 3–4 months for Botox. The longer duration comes from a unique peptide formulation that more strongly binds to muscle receptors. Same neurotoxin effect, longer-lasting result.
What is Daxxify and how is it different from Botox?
Median duration is 6 months. Some patients see results 7–9 months. First-time Daxxify users may see slightly shorter duration than experienced users. Compared to Botox/Dysport, you may treat 2x per year instead of 3–4x.
How long does Daxxify really last?
Daxxify is $7 per unit; Botox is $14 per unit. So per-unit, Daxxify is cheaper. But Daxxify typically uses similar unit counts to Botox for the same effect, so per-treatment cost is roughly half. The bigger advantage is duration—Daxxify often lasts about 6 months vs. 3 to 5 months for Botox—so annual cost is significantly lower if you'd otherwise treat 3 times per year. Members receive discounted per-unit pricing.
Does Daxxify cost more than Botox?
Yes—same neurotoxin effectiveness in terms of softening wrinkles. Onset is similar (4–7 days for visible effects). The only differentiator is duration. Patients prioritizing longer intervals between treatments often prefer Daxxify; patients who like the flexibility of more frequent dosing may prefer Botox.
Does Daxxify work as well as Botox?
Same as other neurotoxins—quick pinches with an ultra-fine needle. Brief discomfort during injection. We can apply topical numbing if you're sensitive.
Does Daxxify hurt?
No real downtime. Same precautions as other neurotoxins: stay upright for 4 hours, avoid strenuous exercise and heat for 24 hours. Effects begin at 2–5 days, peak at 14 days.
What's the recovery from Daxxify?
Yes—patients commonly try Daxxify after consistent Botox use to see if the longer duration is worth the higher per-treatment cost. There's no negative interaction between products.
Can I switch to Daxxify if I currently use Botox?
Patients who want fewer appointments per year, patients who travel frequently and can't maintain quarterly schedules, patients with insurance/HSA constraints that benefit from less frequent dosing, and patients who specifically want longer duration. Not for patients who like the flexibility of more frequent dose adjustments.
Who should consider Daxxify?
Same side effect profile as other neurotoxins—minor bruising, occasional headache, rare temporary muscle weakness or asymmetry. No major Daxxify-specific issues identified in clinical trials or post-market use.
Are there side effects unique to Daxxify?
First-time patients: complimentary consultation to discuss whether Daxxify makes sense for your goals (the cost-benefit conversation). Returning patients: book directly. Call (806) 701-5840 or book online.
