What is Daxxify?
Daxxify is an FDA-approved wrinkle treatment that smooths moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Unlike traditional neurotoxins, Daxxify is powered by a peptide stabilizer, eliminating the need for human or animal-derived ingredients. This innovative formulation not only yields visible results as early as 24 hours after administration, it also helps extend the longevity of results, offering a more convenient and lasting solution for wrinkle reduction.
How Does Daxxify Work?
Daxxify works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for facial wrinkles, preventing repeated contractions that cause lines to form. The active ingredient, botulinum toxin type A, is enhanced with a proprietary peptide, which helps it bind more effectively to nerve receptors, improving both the speed and duration of results.
Benefits of Daxxify for Wrinkle Treatment

- Long-Lasting Effects – Daxxify results last an average of 6 months and up to 9 months for some patients, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups.

- Peptide-Powered Formula – The only frown line treatment stabilized with a peptide, providing a safer and more effective alternative.

Daxxify for TMJ Pain Relief
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder can cause jaw pain, tension headaches, and difficulty chewing due to overactive jaw muscles. Daxxify can help relieve TMJ pain by relaxing these muscles, reducing tension and preventing involuntary clenching or grinding (bruxism). This treatment can lead to:
- Reduced Jaw Discomfort – Alleviates muscle stiffness and soreness.
- Fewer Headaches – Helps minimize tension headaches caused by jaw clenching.
- Improved Jaw Mobility – Allows for easier movement and reduced stiffness.
- Long-Lasting Relief – Since Daxxify lasts up to 6-9 months, patients experience prolonged relief compared to conventional TMJ treatments.
- Slims facial profile by causing muscle to relax.
- Faster and less invasive than other TMJ treatments which often involve surgery.
- Good for refractory pain that is not cured by night guard, as well as for patients unwilling or unable to tolerate wearing a night guard.
If you suffer from TMJ-related discomfort, Dr. Nikki Sparks can assess whether Daxxify is a suitable option for your needs.
