Daxxify® Chicago Illinois

Daxxify® in River North – Chicago, Illinois

Years of facial movements such as smiling or frowning can cause what are called “dynamic wrinkles”. These are deep wrinkles or folds between the eyes, across the forehead, and at the corners of your eyes are called “Crow’s Feet”.

While these lines can be caused by aging, they can also make one appear older than they actually are. Because facial expressions are not limited to people of a certain age group, dynamic wrinkles due to repeated facial movements can develop on anyone. At the Center for Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine in Chicago, IL, cosmetic injectables, like Daxxify®, are offered to smooth fine lines and wrinkles on patients in the River North area.

Should I get Daxxify®?

If you have noticed an increase in signs of aging on your face, like fine lines, wrinkles, frown lines, crow’s feet, or forehead wrinkles, you may be a great candidate for Daxxify® injections. You may not qualify for Daxxify® injections if you have an allergy to botulinum toxins, are pregnant, or planning to become pregnant.

What Is Daxxify

Daxxify® is the latest botulinum toxin injectable to be approved by the FDA in August 2023. When you receive Daxxify® injections you are not just receiving a treatment that significantly reduces signs of aging but are receiving the most up-to-date youth-restoring treatment out there. Daxxify® uses a unique peptide-powered formulation to keep you looking younger, longer. The active ingredient in Daxxify® is a purified form of the botulinum toxin type A protein. Because Daxxify® uses this peptide to stabilize the botulinum toxin type A protein, it does not require any human or animal byproducts, unlike other neurotoxins on the market.

What to Expect with Daxxify®

Daxxify® sessions are minimally invasive and very quick. Depending on the area being treated, a session can last for as little as 15 minutes. Our highly skilled, board-certified dermatologists inject Daxxify® into the facial muscles using a fine gauge needle. The neurotoxin in Daxxify® works by blocking the signals between the nerves and muscles in your face, causing them to relax. This more relaxed facial posture smooths fine lines and wrinkles. You may feel a slight pinch during the injections, but most patients find the experience to be tolerable. You may request a topical anesthetic if it makes you more comfortable.

Daxxify® Results

Results of Daxxify® injections will start to become noticeable 2-3 days after injections but will reach their peak around 14 days after treatment. Daxxify® is an incredibly long-lasting cosmetic injectable with results lasting for up to 6 months. Our skilled team at CDAM can tailor a Daxxify® treatment plan suited specifically to your needs and goals in order to ensure natural-looking and long-lasting results.

Side Effects of Daxxify®

The most common side effects of Daxxify® occur immediately following treatments and are rather mild. Some soreness or bruising at the injection site can occur but should go away after a day or two. You will want to avoid putting pressure on the treatment site for at least 5 hours afterward to ensure the product stays in the correct place.
