Facial folds and wrinkles are some of the first signs of aging, making you appear more tired and older than you are. At Sistine Facial Plastic Surgery, we offer an array of injectables to quickly plump and fill these lines for a more youthful appearance without surgery. Dr. Leong proudly offers DAXXIFY in Pittsburgh to take years off your appearance and create a more youthful, friendly appearance.
What is DAXXIFY?
FDA-approved DAXXIFY is the only long-lasting, peptide-powered frown line treatment. The revolutionary formula smooths moderate to severe lines between the brows, offering results that last between six and nine months. DAXXIFY is a neuromodulator that relaxes the facial muscles and blocks acetylcholine, the chemical that activates muscles. Because repeated muscle contractions cause facial lines and wrinkles, relaxing those muscles is one of the most effective ways to diminish the appearance of wrinkles.

The DAXXIFY benefits
DAXXIFY is rapidly earning a stunning reputation for its safety and efficacy and is backed by more than twenty years of research. The injectable was FDA-approved based on clinical trial data collected from 2,700 patients of different ages and with varying types of skin who received 4,200 treatments.
One month after treatment with DAXXIFY, 98% had little or no appearance of wrinkles. Half were entirely or nearly wrinkle-free after six months, and some continued to see results nine months later. During clinical trials, researchers didn’t observe any treatment-related severe side effects or notable differences in how DAXXIFY performed for varying skin types.
Some of the other impressive DAXXIFY benefits include the following:
- It lasts longer than any other neuromodulator
- Erases crow’s feet, frown lines, and horizontal forehead lines
- Prevents future wrinkles from developing by relaxing repeated muscle movement
- Convenient and comfortable, making it the ultimate lunchtime treatment
- Minimally invasive with no downtime
Am I a good candidate for DAXXIFY?
DAXXIFY is suitable for a wide variety of candidates, which is another of its many benefits. If you have noticeable dynamic wrinkles around your eyes, brows, and forehead, DAXXIFY could be right for you.
However, candidates should be over eighteen and in generally good health. Additionally, candidates for DAXXIFY in Pittsburgh should not:
- Have active skin disease or infection
- Have a history of bleeding disorders or anemia
- Pair injections with laser or light treatments, microdermabrasion, or chemical peels until cleared to do so
- Be pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have a neurological disorder
DAXXIFY is best for people who have tried other injectables because the results can last up to twice as long as other neuromodulators, meaning you cannot undo an outcome you dislike, as you can with other injectables.
DAXXIFY procedure and results
Because DAXXIFY uses a small needle, the injection feels like a pinch and is not painful. If you’re concerned about discomfort, we may ice the area or apply a topical numbing cream before injecting.
Treatment with DAXXIFY requires minimal downtime, so you can immediately return to your daily routine. Results may appear as early as the next day after treatment, typically within two days, and you should see the most noticeable developments within two weeks.
You may experience mild injection-related bruising, which heals within a few days. The area around the injection site could:
- Swell
- Turn red
- Cause pain or tenderness from the injection itself
However, these side effects are minor and should resolve after a few hours or days.
