Austin’s top question right now

Does Daxxify last longer than Botox—and is it worth switching?
Short answer: If you love your Botox results but wish they lasted longer, Daxxify can often hold smoothing closer to six months for many patients (vs. ~3–4 months typical with Botox). It can also show effect quickly—often within a couple of days. That makes it a smart choice when you want fewer visits or a longer holiday-to-spring window of results.

What Daxxify actually is (and why it lasts)

Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is a neuromodulator like Botox, stabilized with a synthetic peptide. In clinical studies, many patients maintained none-to-mild frown lines for about 24 weeks (~6 months). Botox typically lasts about 3–4 months for most people. Technique, dose, and your own metabolism still drive results.

Where does Dysport fit?

Dysport is another botulinum toxin A often chosen for its quick onset and broader diffusion—useful for larger areas like the forehead. Units are not 1:1 with Botox (your injector will map dosing). For most people, duration is similar to Botox; we choose based on your anatomy and goals.

Quick chooser: Botox vs. Daxxify vs. Dysport

  • Stick with Botox if you like your current look, don’t mind visitng your injector more frequently, or need its broader labeled uses.
  • Try Daxxify if you want longer intervals (up to 6 months), a fast kick-in, or if you tend to “fade” quickly on other toxins.
  • Choose Dysport if you prefer a faster onset and your injector recommends it for larger treatment zones.

Local timing: why fall/winter in Austin is ideal

Lower UV and steadier schedules make it a perfect time for dialing in your plan. Pair neuromodulators with skin-quality services to maximize glow before the holidays:

Build your smoothest plan (Botox-first, Daxxify when helpful)

  1. Map + photos: Keep your trusted Botox map/units. In the next cycle, try Daxxify on the same zones and compare the timing with identical images. Then, discuss your tox choice with your injector.
  2. Event planning: Choose Daxxify for a holiday → spring runway with fewer appointments.
  3. Skin quality add-ons: Combine with DiamondGlow or microneedling so smooth muscles meet smooth skin.
  4. Data-driven check-ins: Add optional AI imaging to track fine lines and texture over seasons.

FAQs

Does Daxxify really last longer than Botox?
For many patients, yes—often around six months, while Botox is typically three to four months. Individual results vary by zone, dose, and metabolism.

How fast does each one kick in?
Daxxify can show effect within a few days; Botox often takes 3–7 days to peak. Dysport tends to be fast, too, commonly a few days.

Will Daxxify look different on my face?
“Natural vs. overdone” is about injector mapping and dose, not just the product. We tailor your units and placement to keep expression natural; Daxxify is known for its ‘Dynamic Movement’ and is a beautiful toxin, especially when you factor in the ‘Daxxify glow’ from the peptide.

Is Daxxify FDA-approved for all the same areas as Botox?
Not yet. Daxxify is currently approved for glabellar (frown) lines, while Botox has broader approvals. We’ll guide any off-label decisions safely and conservatively.

Cost: Is Daxxify more expensive?
Per visit, it can be higher at some med spa clinics; however, Banyan & Bamboo charges the same as Botox per area. It can be lower per year if you reduce the number of visits (e.g., ~2-3 Daxxify vs. 3–4 Botox). Choose experience and planning, not just price.
