Understanding
Years of frowning, squinting, and concentrating can etch lines between your brows and across your forehead. Many patients tell us these frown lines make them look tired, stern, or angry even when they feel calm and rested. Makeup can settle into the creases, and the lines often deepen over time. If you have tried a neurotoxin before but found the results faded faster than you wanted, the frequent maintenance visits can feel inconvenient and add up.
Daxxify temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for these dynamic wrinkles, softening frown lines so your skin looks smoother and more refreshed. Because Daxxify is formulated to last longer for many patients, you may enjoy your results for up to six months before needing a touch-up. Melissa uses the least amount of product necessary to keep your expressions natural, so you still look like you, just more rested. Treatment is quick with minimal downtime.
Daxxify is an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin from Revance that relaxes the frown-line muscles between the brows. Its unique peptide-stabilized formula uses no human or animal proteins and is known for a longer duration.
Melissa places a series of small injections into the targeted muscles in about fifteen to twenty minutes. Onset is within days, full effect near two weeks, and results can last up to six months.
Treatment Timeline:
Within a few days (lines start to relax)
About 2 weeks (peak smoothing sets in)
Up to 6 months (longer-lasting than most neurotoxins)
15–20 minutes (a simple in-office visit)
Longer-Lasting Smoothing
Results can last up to six months for the right patient
A conservative approach preserves your natural expressions
Stabilized with a peptide instead of human or animal proteins
A brief in-office visit with minimal downtime
Longer duration may mean fewer maintenance appointments

Neurotoxins carry a boxed warning about the rare possibility of toxin spread beyond the treatment area. For safety guidance on aesthetic injectables, see the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery. Melissa reviews absolute contraindications with every patient before treatment.
Step-by-Step Process
What to Know
Daxxify has an established safety profile as an FDA-approved neurotoxin. When administered by a trained medical professional, side effects are usually mild and localized, resolving within a few days.
The most common side effects are mild and localized, including temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, along with occasional headache. These typically resolve within a few days.
Less commonly, patients may experience temporary eyelid or brow drooping, which usually resolves on its own over several weeks. Like all botulinum toxin products, Daxxify carries an FDA boxed warning about the rare risk of the toxin spreading beyond the treatment area, which can cause muscle weakness or trouble swallowing or breathing. Seek medical care promptly if these occur.
Daxxify was FDA-approved in 2022 for moderate to severe glabellar lines. You can review official information through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Melissa's board certification and injectable training help minimize risk through proper dosing and precise placement.
Pricing and Payment Options
At Healthy Enhancements, Daxxify is priced at $12 per unit. The total cost depends on how many units your treatment areas require, and because Daxxify may use more units than some other neurotoxins, your exact plan is discussed at your consultation based on your goals and anatomy. Melissa always works within your budget and uses the minimal product necessary for natural results. To see how Daxxify compares with other options, explore Botox in Wellington, FL and Dysport in Wellington, FL, which are typically shorter-lasting alternatives.
