Longer lasting results BOTOX-Alternative in our Future? Yes… and it’s called DAXI!
The name BOTOX has become synonymous with neurotoxin injectables designed to smooth lines on the brow and around the eyes. But BOTOX hasn’t been the only option for years—and new advancements in the world of neurotoxins are happening every day.
How do current products work?
Right now, there are four primary options you’ll find at your local Injection clinic, and they are BOTOX, Dysport, Xeomin, and the newly released Jeuveau. While the formulations vary, they all use the same active ingredient (Botulinum Toxin Type A) and similar secondary ingredients, leading to products that perform in very comparable ways.
When injected into muscles in the upper face, the Botulinum Toxin Type A halts communication between the target muscle and nerves, which reduces movement and allows the overlying skin to smooth out. This aspect of all Botulinum Toxin Type A products is the same across the board, while the unique preparation process and secondary ingredients can alter the dosing and price while still providing similar results and longevity. Typically, patients can expect their results to last around four months before effects wear off.
However, I would now like to introduce you to the BOTOX-alternative that keeps you looking younger for longer!
It is called Daxi It is actually in the process of being released. It is a botulinum injectable they claim might be the first neuromodulator innovation in 30 years. With an anticipated 2020 approval.
Clinical studies look promising, with results showing that DAXI last around 24 weeks…meaning patients could potentially only have to have two treatments per year to maintain their results.
DAXI vs BOTOX: What’s the difference?
Like the products mentioned above, DAXI (DaxibotulinumtoxinA) has the same primary active ingredient that is so effective in lightening those fine lines and wrinkles- with a longer lasting time that makes it the first and only of its kind.
In addition to the neurotoxin, DAXI is formulated with a proprietary peptide excipient that helps stabilize the product. When paired with their highly purified botulinum toxin that is free of human- or animal-based components, the result is a product that can potentially deliver unprecedented response rates and duration of effect. Clinical studieslook promising, with results showing that DAXI last around 24 weeks…meaning patients could potentially only have to have two treatments per year to maintain their results. Here are some highlights:
24 weeks: The median duration of results in clinical trials when using DAXI to treat moderate-to-severe glabellar lines.
28 weeks: The median time wrinkle severity returned to the baseline.
95%: Response rate for DAXI across the “largest aesthetic neuromodulator clinical trial” ever conducted.
This is super exciting and I can’t went to try, and perform this gold in a bottle.
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog about DAXI. I will keep you posted on further information.
