What to Expect During Your First
Daxxify® Appointment
Fine lines often appear gradually. One day, the crease between your brows feels more noticeable, or forehead lines seem to linger longer than they used to. These changes are completely natural, but many people seek subtle refreshment without dramatic or overdone results.
Daxxify® offers a modern approach to wrinkle relaxation, helping soften expression lines while maintaining a natural, relaxed appearance. Known for its longer-lasting results, Daxxify is an excellent option for individuals who want effective treatment with fewer maintenance visits.
At Integrated Aesthetics, every Daxxify appointment is approached with intention, education, and precision so clients feel informed, comfortable, and confident throughout the entire process.
What Is Daxxify®?
Daxxify® is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator designed to reduce the appearance of expression lines by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles. When these muscles are softened, wrinkles caused by repetitive movements become less noticeable.
Daxxify is commonly used to treat:
Frown lines between the brows
Forehead lines
Crow’s feet
One of the key reasons clients choose Daxxify is its longevity. While traditional neuromodulators often last a few months, Daxxify is known to maintain results for a longer period, allowing for extended time between treatments.
Its formulation includes a peptide-stabilizing component, rather than animal or human proteins. Some clients appreciate this modern structure as part of a more science-driven, evidence-based approach to aesthetics.
What Happens at Your First Daxxify® Appointment
Understanding what to expect can help you feel more relaxed going into your appointment. At Integrated Aesthetics, the process is personalized, straightforward, and typically completed in a single visit.
Initial Consultation
Your appointment begins with a thoughtful consultation focused on your goals. This is your opportunity to share what you are noticing and what you would like to improve.
During this visit, your provider will:
Review your medical history
Discuss any previous injectable treatments
Assess your facial expressions at rest and in motion
Identify areas where Daxxify may be beneficial
This assessment is tailored to you. Some clients focus on one specific area, while others prefer a more balanced, full-face approach. Questions are always encouraged, and there is no pressure to proceed until you feel comfortable.
If Daxxify is appropriate, your provider will explain realistic expectations and outcomes. Many clients appreciate that Daxxify works gradually and delivers natural-looking results.
Treatment Planning
Once your goals are clear, a personalized treatment plan is created. This includes which areas will be treated, an estimate of units needed, and what results you may notice over time.
Common treatment areas include:
Frown lines
Forehead lines
Crow’s feet
Subtle brow lifting
Minor facial asymmetry
Careful planning and precise injection technique are essential for achieving balanced, natural results that complement your facial features.
Preparation for Injection
Before treatment begins, the skin is cleansed thoroughly. Numbing is usually optional, as most clients find the injections quick and manageable.
A very fine needle is used, and small markings may be placed to guide precise placement and ensure even results.
Injection Process
The injection portion of the appointment is typically brief. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild pinch or light pressure that fades quickly.
Depending on the number of areas treated, injections usually take 10 to 20 minutes. Your provider will guide you through each step and adjust as needed to keep you comfortable.
Immediate Aftercare
After treatment, you can return to your daily routine with minimal downtime. Mild redness or slight swelling at injection sites is common and typically resolves within a few hours.
Aftercare instructions may include:
Avoiding pressure or rubbing the treated areas for several hours
Waiting to exercise until later in the day
Remaining upright for a short period after treatment
Your provider will review personalized aftercare guidance before you leave.
When Will You See Results?
Daxxify results develop gradually. Some clients begin noticing changes within a few days, with full results typically visible within the first week.
Because Daxxify works by relaxing muscle movement, the improvements appear smooth and natural. Clients often describe their results as refreshed and well-rested rather than frozen.
One of the standout benefits of Daxxify is its extended duration. Many clients enjoy results for several months, making it a convenient option for long-term wrinkle management.
What Does Daxxify® Feel Like?
If you are new to injectables, it is normal to have questions about comfort. Most clients describe the injections as brief pinches. Some areas, such as around the eyes, may feel slightly more sensitive, but discomfort is minimal and short-lived.
After treatment, mild tightness or tenderness may occur and typically resolves quickly. Most clients return to work or social activities the same day.
What Makes Daxxify® Different?
While Daxxify functions similarly to other neuromodulators, several features make it unique:
-
Longer-lasting results
-
A peptide-stabilized formulation
-
Fewer treatment visits per year
-
Smooth, natural-looking outcomes
Clients who metabolize other neuromodulators quickly often find Daxxify to be a more durable and flexible option.
