Why Patients Choose Daxxify at Z Aesthetic Dermatology
Nearly double the duration
Results last 6–9 months instead of 3–4 — two treatments a year instead of four.
Built for busy schedules
Fewer appointments means less time in the chair and less mental overhead tracking when you're "due."
Still unmistakably natural
Longer-lasting doesn't mean different-looking — the same conservative, expression-preserving dosing applies.
What Are The Benefits of Daxxify?
Daxxify® (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is FDA-approved for treating moderate to severe glabellar frown lines (11 lines) using proprietary peptide exchange technology that delivers the longest-lasting results of any FDA-approved neuromodulator. Dr. Z also uses Daxxify off-label for forehead lines, crow's feet, brow lift, neck bands (Nefertiti lift), masseter reduction (jaw slimming), and chin dimpling. Daxxify's defining advantage is duration: clinical trial data showed a median result duration of 6 months, with a significant portion of patients maintaining results at 9 months — compared to 3–4 months with Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin. This means 2 treatments per year instead of 3–4. Results appear within 2–3 days, last 6–9 months, and deliver natural-looking smoothness with zero downtime and minimal side effects.
Is Daxxify Right for You?
Daxxify is the clear choice if you've been treating with neuromodulators consistently for a while and are ready to stretch the time between visits — especially if you travel often or have a packed schedule. It's also worth asking about if you're simply tired of the 3–4 month refill cycle.
If this is your first neuromodulator treatment ever, Dr. Z typically recommends starting with Botox or Dysport so you can gauge your personal response before committing to a longer-acting formula.
How long does Daxxify last?
Daxxify lasts approximately 6–9 months — nearly double the duration of Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin. In clinical trials, the median result held at 6 months, with many patients maintaining results through 9 months.
- 2–3 treatments per year instead of 3–4
- Same 2–3 day onset as other fast-acting options
Ask Dr. Z whether Daxxify fits your maintenance routine at your Baton Rouge or Prairieville consultation.
Is Daxxify better than Botox?
Not better — different. Daxxify and Botox treat the same lines with comparable natural-looking results; the real difference is duration. Daxxify lasts 6–9 months versus Botox's 3–4. Neither is more "effective" at smoothing lines — the right choice depends on how often you want to be back in the chair.
How much does Daxxify cost compared to Botox?
Daxxify costs more per session but is used less often, so annual cost is often comparable. Because the standard glabellar dose is about double Botox's, expect a higher per-visit price — offset by needing only 2–3 treatments a year instead of 3–4. Dr. Z will show you the real year-over-year comparison at your consultation.
Should a first-time Botox patient start with Daxxify instead?
Usually not — Dr. Z typically recommends starting with Botox or Dysport first. Since Daxxify lasts significantly longer, it's harder to make quick adjustments if your first experience isn't exactly what you expected. Once you know how your face responds, switching to Daxxify for the convenience of fewer visits is an easy next step.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Daxxify?
Daxxify is ideal for patients who have been using neuromodulators consistently for years and are ready for longer intervals between treatments — reducing annual appointments from 3–4 down to 2–3. It is also an excellent choice for patients with busy schedules, significant travel, or anyone who wants to simplify their aesthetic maintenance routine. Good candidates are in overall good health with realistic expectations about results that last 6–9 months. Because Daxxify's effects last longer, Dr. Z recommends that first-time neuromodulator patients typically start with a shorter-acting product (Botox, Dysport, or Jeuveau) to assess their individual response before committing to Daxxify's extended duration. Daxxify is not suitable for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neuromuscular disorders. During your consultation, Dr. Z will evaluate your treatment history, facial anatomy, and goals to determine whether Daxxify is the right choice for you.
Treatment Areas: What Can Daxxify Treat?
Daxxify is FDA-approved specifically for glabellar lines (the "11s") and offers the unique advantage of extended 6–9 month duration across all treatment areas. Like other neuromodulators, Daxxify is also used off-label for a variety of cosmetic applications — with the added benefit of results that last significantly longer between appointments.
Daxxify for Frown Lines (11 Lines)
The "11 lines" between your eyebrows are caused by repeated frowning, squinting, and concentrating—movements that engage the corrugator and procerus muscles. Over time, these dynamic wrinkles become etched into the skin, creating a tired, angry, or stressed appearance even when your face is at rest.
Learn more about 11 lines treatment and how neuromodulators can smooth this common concern.
Daxxify for Forehead Lines
Horizontal forehead lines are another common complaint—these wrinkles form from raising your eyebrows repeatedly over the years. Xeomin can smooth these lines by relaxing the frontalis muscle (the muscle that lifts your brows).
Daxxify for Crow's Feet
Crow's feet—the fine lines that radiate from the outer corners of your eyes when you smile or squint—are one of the most popular treatment areas for neuromodulators.
Expert Wrinkle Treatments at Z Dermatology
Daxxify for Bunny Lines
The diagonal wrinkles that appear across the bridge of the nose when you scrunch your face can be softened with precise, low-dose Xeomin injections into the nasalis muscle.
Daxxify Lip Flip for a gummy smile
A small amount of Xeomin placed along the upper lip border relaxes the orbicularis oris muscle, gently rolling the lip outward for a fuller, more defined appearance without adding volume.

Daxxify for Chin dimpling
Overactive mentalis muscle activity causes the chin to appear bumpy or "orange peel" in texture, and Xeomin can relax this muscle to create a smoother, more refined chin contour.
Daxxify for Nefertiti lift
Strategic injections along the platysmal bands of the neck and along the jawline create a subtle lifting effect, improving jaw definition and softening vertical neck cords.

What to Expect During Your Daxxify Appointment
Your visit follows the same process as any neuromodulator appointment with Dr. Z — a conversation about your goals, a plan tailored to your anatomy, and precise injection with an ultra-fine needle. The FDA-approved glabellar dose is 40 units, roughly double Botox's, and Dr. Z will calibrate your full plan accordingly. The appointment takes about 15 minutes.
Results begin within 2–3 days, with full effect by 10–14 days. This is where Daxxify sets itself apart: results hold for 6–9 months, versus 3–4 for Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin — meaning roughly half as many appointments per year.
Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is the newest FDA-approved neuromodulator, using proprietary peptide exchange technology instead of the accessory proteins found in Botox or Dysport. That peptide bond is what anchors the treatment at the injection site longer, driving its extended duration.
Dr. Z has spent more than 15 years perfecting her injection technique and has been recognized as a Top 3% Expert Injector nationally. That level of experience matters when you're trusting someone with your face.
Dr. Z is a board-certified expert injector
Dr. Ann Zedlitz has earned the distinction of being classified as a Expert Injector™, a prestigious classification fewer than 3% of physicians qualify for! Dr. Z leads our team of expert injectors who have earned a reputation for creating natural beauty and personalized care for men and women in Baton Rouge.
Daxxify vs. Botox: Is the Extra Cost Worth It?
Per treatment, Daxxify costs more than Botox — but because it lasts roughly twice as long, most patients find the annual cost comparable, sometimes lower, once you account for needing only 2 treatments a year instead of 3–4. The real tradeoff isn't cost, it's commitment: Daxxify is best suited to patients who already know how neuromodulators work for their face and are ready to extend the interval, not first-timers still calibrating their response.
How Daxxify
Works
Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is the newest and longest-lasting FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A neuromodulator, developed by Revance Therapeutics and approved by the FDA in 2022. Unlike all other neuromodulators, Daxxify uses proprietary peptide exchange technology instead of accessory proteins for stabilization — a fundamentally different approach that delivers significantly extended duration.
How Much Does Daxxify Cost in Baton Rouge?

Whether you are a first-time Daxxify patient or a long-time injectable patient making the switch, there may be savings opportunities available to you. View current Daxxify specials or contact us to learn about financing options available at Z Aesthetic Dermatology.
Daxxify at Z Aesthetic Dermatology is priced per unit, and while the per-treatment investment is higher than Botox or Dysport, most patients find the overall annual cost comparable — or even lower — when factoring in that Daxxify's 6–9 month duration means only 2 treatments per year instead of 3–4. Your exact cost depends on your treatment areas and the dosage Dr. Z recommends based on your facial anatomy and goals, which she will outline clearly at your consultation before any treatment begins. Financing options are available through CareCredit and PatientFi to make Daxxify's longer-lasting results accessible on your terms.
What Is The Daxxify Treatment Process?
One of the most appreciated aspects of Daxxify treatment at Z Aesthetic Dermatology is knowing that the results you leave with will last — potentially for up to 9 months. The entire process — from consultation to walking out the door — is designed around your comfort, your schedule, and your desire for long-lasting, natural-looking results that fit your life. Dr. Z has spent over 15 years perfecting her injection technique, and every Daxxify appointment reflects that commitment to precision, personalization, and care.
During your treatment, Dr. Z will inject Daxxify using an ultra-fine needle with expert precision developed through thousands of procedures. The FDA-approved dose for glabellar lines is 40 units, and Dr. Z will calibrate your complete treatment plan based on your anatomy and goals. Topical numbing cream is available to minimize any discomfort, though most patients describe the injections as a quick pinch comparable to Botox. The entire appointment takes just 10–15 minutes, and bruising is uncommon. Results begin appearing within 2–3 days, with full effects visible by 10–14 days. Your natural-looking results will last 6–9 months before maintenance is needed. You can return to work immediately after treatment, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours.

Client Testimonials
Daxxify vs. Botox vs. Dysport vs. Xeomin — Which Neuromodulator Is Right for You?
All of our most popular neuromodulators in Baton Rouge, Daxxify, Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, and Letybo, are formulations of botulinum toxin type A, but each has a distinct clinical profile. Daxxify stands apart from all others with its 6-9 month duration, nearly twice as long as every other option, made possible by its unique peptide exchange technology.
Botox is the gold standard with the broadest FDA-approved cosmetic indications and the most extensive long-term safety data. Dysport diffuses more broadly for large treatment areas and onsets faster (2-3 days). Xeomin is a "naked" protein-free formula that may reduce long-term antibody resistance risk. Jeuveau is a cost-competitive alternative with fast onset. Letybo is the newest option with a low-protein, highly purified formula.
Not sure which neuromodulator is right for you? Consider the following:
- If you want the longest-lasting results available and prefer fewer annual appointments, Daxxify is your best option.
- If you are new to neuromodulators, starting with Botox or Dysport lets you assess your individual response before committing to Daxxify's extended duration.
- If you want fast onset for a large area like the full forehead, Dysport is the preferred choice.
- If you have been using Botox for years and feel it is becoming less effective, Xeomin, Letybo, or Daxxify may provide better outcomes.
- The most accurate recommendation comes from a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Z, who will evaluate your anatomy, treatment history, and goals to guide you toward the best choice.
Daxxify Aftercare Tips
Taking the best care of your skin after Daxxify will prolong your results and help prevent future signs of aging.
After receiving Daxxify injections, you don’t have to worry about a lengthy recovery. You can return to your daily routine right after. Some patients may experience a slight tingling sensation in the injection area. This feeling subsides within a few hours.
For optimal results, avoid touching or massaging the treatment area. Doing so may cause the toxin to migrate to other regions of the face. We also recommend you refrain from wearing makeup for 24 hours after your Daxxify
appointment. This gives your face time to adjust to the treatment and minimizes the chances of infections. Our skin experts will tell you more about Daxxify
aftercare during your visit.
Daxxify Frequently Asked Questions
Is Daxxify better than Botox?
Whether Daxxify is "better" than Botox depends on your individual goals and treatment history.
Whether Daxxify is "better" than Botox depends on your individual goals and treatment history. Daxxify's primary advantage is its duration - results last six to nine months compared to Botox's three to four months, meaning fewer appointments per year. For patients who have been maintaining Botox consistently and are looking for a more convenient, longer-lasting alternative, Daxxify is frequently the preferred choice.

In rare cases, patients may experience headache or temporary eyelid heaviness, which are also associated with other neuromodulators and resolve on their own.

After the first twenty-four hours, your normal skincare and makeup routine can be fully resumed without restriction.
