Daxxify in Santa Barbara, CA
There’s a new Botox® alternative in Santa Barbara. Triple board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sara Yegiyants now offers Daxxify, an advanced neurotoxin designed to offer Botox®-like benefits with longer-lasting results. Also known as Daxi, this new injectable treatment is the first and only peptide-powered, FDA-approved expression line treatment that lasts up to nine months. This incredible feature means that with as few as two annual Daxi sessions, you can enjoy year-long smoother skin outcomes rather than the three to four-month durations of other neuromodulators.
How is Daxxify Different From Botox®?
Since hitting the market two decades ago, Botox® has become a household name, having proven to millions of patients to be a safe and effective injectable neuromodulator for softening facial wrinkles and lines. Despite other Botox® alternatives hitting the market at intervals (namely, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeauveu), Botox®’s reputation for safe, predictable outcomes has helped it retain the top spot regarding its neurotoxin treatments for dynamic expression lines.
But, one new injectable product may offer strong competition for this timeless anti-aging treatment: Revance Aesthetics recently announced that their one-of-a-kind neuromodulator, Daxxify, is available to women and men who wish to have a reliable, long-lasting anti-aging regimen.
What is Daxxify Used For?
Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-land) is an injectable neurotoxin that is FDA-approved to treat frown lines (glabellar lines between the eyebrows) using the same class of active ingredients as other injectable neurotoxins like Botox®, Dysport®, Jeuveau, and Xeomin®. Daxi works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted facial muscles. Once injected, Daxi softens expression lines caused by repetitive muscle movements.
What makes Daxi different from other neuromodulators is its unique formulation. It attaches a protein to the toxin that temporarily blocks nerve signals—helping to extend Daxi’s impact on treated facial areas. Clinical trials have found that Daxi results can last six to nine months, potentially lasting two to three times longer than its predecessors for some patients.
Additionally, Daxi is the first injectable neuromodulator formulated with a peptide as a stabilizer and contains no human or animal byproducts. Therefore, it is the only vegan-suitable neurotoxin.
What Are Daxxify’s Pros And Cons?
Why Daxi rather than other neuromodulators?
Patients will enjoy Daxi’s longer-lasting effects, and fewer injection sessions make it a more suitable treatment to maintain continuous outcomes. Daxi may also be ideal for the tiny percentage of patients with Botox® resistance, working as a procedure that helps where the effects of Botox®’s neurotoxin formula have diminished or become ineffective.
Disadvantages of Daxxify compared with other neurotoxins.
Because neurotoxin outcomes cannot be reversed, you should be clear on each injectable treatment’s impact on your appearance. With Daxi offering longer-lasting outcomes, it may be wise to employ shorter-lived options until you are pleased with the benefits of your injection plan. Another disadvantage is that if you experience an unwanted outcome, like eyelid sagging, with Daxxify, you will need to wait longer for its side effect to fade. However, limited data from clinical trials found adverse side effects didn’t last substantially longer than Botox®. For these reasons, choosing a highly-trained medical professional as your injector is critical.

Is Daxxify Available Now? How Do I Find A Qualified Daxi Injector Near Me?
Because Daxxify is a new product, it should be expected that injectors will have less background experience. Therefore, vetting their experience using similar injectables like Botox® is vitally important. Indeed, no matter what neuromodulator you choose for your treatment regimen, optimal results are far more dependent on your injector having medical knowledge of controlling facial musculature with injectable neurotoxins rather than an exact formula.
As with any aesthetic procedure, we strongly urge patients to choose a practice led by a board-certified plastic surgeon. This forward-thinking will help ensure the highest quality of care and safety, with stunning results to restore youthful skin appearance.
Why Dr. Yegiyants and What to Expect?
Dr. Yegiyants, with her advanced visual arts background and superior aesthetic sense, is an excellent choice for your Daxi treatments. Dr. Yegiyants will first study your facial contours and wrinkles to consider the placements for the best and most natural-looking outcome.
You will have several small injections, but your Daxi session will not take long. During your treatment, you may feel a minor burning sensation that lasts only a few seconds, but most patients describe it as highly tolerable and less painful than expected. In addition, for patients who are particularly sensitive or apprehensive about needles, we now offer Pro-Nox™. This inhalable, patient-controlled analgesic is immediately effective in reducing and even eliminating pain and anxiety.
You can return to your daily activities immediately following Daxi injections. While you may have some minor redness, most patients don’t have visible signs of the treatment within an hour or two. The toxin takes a few days, and your final results will be visible within seven to ten days after treatment. The effects last a median of six and up to nine months. Most patients can achieve desired results with only two annual sessions to maintain wrinkle prevention and a youthful image.
