How Often Are DAXXIFY® Injections Needed?

While each person's response to cosmetic injectables — like wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers — is slightly different, most patients can expect the results of a treatment like BOTOX, specifically, to last for about 3 – 4 months before repeat injections are needed. For men and women who haven't loved their look with BOTOX, or for those who are looking for a longer-lasting wrinkle relaxer, DAXXIFY® may be an exciting option. In many cases, patients who choose DAXXIFY vs. BOTOX enjoy up to six months of a smoother, more youthful appearance. 

Again, this can vary based on individual factors. At Adean Kingston, M.D., PLLC, Dallas, TX, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Adean Kingston and our team of experienced aesthetic injectors are proud to offer a comprehensive selection of injectables to help meet the varying needs of our patients, including those who would prefer to visit the office less often. Here, you'll find helpful information about what to expect with DAXXIFY, how long you can go between DAXXIFY appointments, and more. 

Does DAXXIFY last longer than BOTOX?  

Generally speaking, most patients report DAXXIFY results lasting longer than those achieved with BOTOX injections. On average, BOTOX wrinkle relaxers typically last about 3 – 4 months, whereas DAXXIFY for wrinkles can give patients a smoother, younger look that lasts for up to six months or longer. 

How often will I need DAXXIFY?  

The frequency for DAXXIFY injections will depend primarily on your personal preferences and your response to treatment. For many patients, scheduling DAXXIFY twice per year is adequate for maintaining a look they're happy with. In some cases, patients who metabolize the injection faster —like those who are extremely active physically, for example — may need to plan for DAXXIFY injectables slightly more often. 

Additionally, the results of DAXXIFY may vary slightly from treatment to treatment, meaning you may notice your wrinkles returning a bit earlier than expected during one round of treatment while enjoying your results for longer than expected on another occasion. Similarly to what can occur with virtually almost any cosmetic injectable. Again, however, most individuals can plan to need a repeat DAXXIFY treatment about every six months. 

Is there anything I can do to make DAXXIFY last longer?  

Although there is no definitive way to extend the life of DAXXIFY or BOTOX injections, there are some things you can do to help keep your look fresh for as long as possible between injections. Some helpful tips for making the most of your injectable wrinkle relaxers like DAXXIFY include:  

• Use sunscreen and moisturizer daily 
• Minimize direct sun exposure 
• Drink plenty of water 
• Do not smoke 
• Minimize alcohol consumption 
• Maintain a dedicated at-home skincare regimen with recommended products 
• Consider complementary professional-grade cosmetic dermatology treatments as suggested by our team 

By practicing healthy lifestyle habits and establishing a deliberate aesthetic skincare routine, you can help keep your cosmetic injectables — like DAXXIFY — looking fresh and youthful for as long as possible between visits to our office.
