DAXXIFY® in Columbus, OH

Expressions etch lines into skin over years of frowning, squinting, and smiling. DAXXIFY smooths those lines and keeps working longer than most neuromodulators, without flattening your expression.

A Longer-Lasting Wrinkle Solution in Columbus

New neuromodulators show up constantly, and most aren't worth the hype. pēkomd® only adds a product to the menu once it's proven itself. Dr. Daniel Straka, the board-certified oculoplastic surgeon leading pēkomd®'s Columbus office, and the clinical team evaluate new injectable technology before recommending it to a single patient. If you already like how neuromodulators work but want fewer trips back for a touch-up, schedule your DAXXIFY consultation today.

What Is DAXXIFY?

DAXXIFY relaxes the facial muscles behind dynamic wrinkles, the creases that form from repeated expressions rather than from sun damage or collagen loss. Like other botulinum toxin injectables, it blocks the nerve signal that tells a muscle to contract, letting the skin above settle and smooth. The FDA has cleared daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm, DAXXIFY's active ingredient, for treating moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults, and its formulation is built to stretch the gap between appointments further than some traditional options.

Benefits of DAXXIFY Treatment

Columbus patients choose DAXXIFY for:

Wrinkle reduction that lasts longer between visits
Fewer follow-up appointments
Expression that still looks like your own
A fast, in-office session
An FDA-approved formulation
A plan built around your specific goals

Am I a Good Candidate for DAXXIFY?

You may be a good fit if you notice frown lines, crow's feet, or forehead creases from repeated expressions, are in good general health with realistic expectations, and already like how neuromodulators work but want results that stretch further between appointments. Your provider will review your facial structure and flag whether a filler or surgical option might serve you better before recommending DAXXIFY.

What to Expect During Your DAXXIFY Procedure

Preparing for Treatment

Your provider cleanses the treatment area and confirms the injection sites mapped out during your consultation.

The Injection Process

DAXXIFY is delivered through a series of quick injections with a fine needle. Most appointments are done in about 30 minutes.

Your Consultation

Your provider reviews your medical history, discusses your goals, and maps out injection points based on your facial anatomy and how you tend to move your face when you talk, smile, or frown.

DAXXIFY Recovery

Mild redness or sensitivity at the injection sites is common and usually fades within hours. Most people get back to their day right away, with lines softening over the following days and full results visible in about a week.

DAXXIFY Results

Results build in gradually, with some patients noticing change within a few days and full effect visible around the one-week mark. Many patients enjoy a longer stretch of smooth skin than with traditional neuromodulators before a touch-up is needed, though this varies by person.

DAXXIFY FAQs

Can DAXXIFY be paired with other treatments?

Yes. DAXXIFY works well alongside dermal fillers, peels, or laser treatments for a more complete rejuvenation plan.

Will I end up with a frozen look?

Not when it's administered properly. DAXXIFY is designed to smooth lines while keeping your ability to express emotion intact.

What are the risks or side effects of DAXXIFY?

Most side effects are mild, including temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Rare risks include eyelid or brow drooping if the product spreads beyond the intended muscle, which is why choosing an experienced injector matters.

Is DAXXIFY safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

DAXXIFY hasn't been studied in pregnant or breastfeeding patients, so it's generally not recommended during pregnancy or while nursing. Tell your provider about your full health history before treatment.

How soon after my first DAXXIFY treatment can I get another?

Most patients wait until the effects have mostly worn off, often several months, before scheduling a follow-up. Your provider will recommend timing based on how your results hold up.

Can DAXXIFY be used anywhere besides the area between the brows?

While DAXXIFY is FDA-approved for glabellar lines, providers may use it off-label in other areas, such as crow's feet or forehead lines. Your provider can discuss whether that fits your goals.

Is there an age minimum for DAXXIFY?

DAXXIFY is approved for use in adults. Most patients begin neuromodulator treatment once dynamic wrinkles start to bother them, which varies widely from person to person.

What should I avoid after treatment?

Most providers recommend avoiding rubbing or massaging the treated area, strenuous exercise, and lying flat for a few hours after treatment to keep the product from migrating.
