Daxxify vs. Botox: Which Wrinkle Treatment Lasts Longer?

Thinking About Botox or Daxxify?

If you’ve been considering wrinkle relaxers, chances are you’ve heard of Botox, and maybe even Daxxify, a newer treatment that’s been getting lots of attention. At Forever Glow in Leander, we meet many clients seeking natural, refreshed results, but they’re unsure which option is right for them. Let’s walk through the differences so you can feel confident in your choice.

What Is Botox?

Botox has been the gold standard for softening fine lines and wrinkles for decades. It works by temporarily relaxing the tiny muscles that create expression lines like frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet.

• Results appear in 3–5 days

• Full effect in 1–2 weeks

• Duration about 3–4 months

Botox is safe, reliable, and perfect for both first-timers and those who want consistent maintenance.

What Is Daxxify?

Daxxify is a newer FDA-approved wrinkle relaxer that works in a very similar way to Botox, but with one key difference: it lasts longer.

Daxxify uses a unique peptide technology that helps it stay active in the body for a longer time.

• Results appear in 3–5 days (like Botox)

• Full effect: in 1–2 weeks

• Duration: often 6 months or longer

For many clients, that means fewer visits each year to maintain smooth, youthful skin.

Daxxify vs. Botox: The Key Differences

1. Longevity

• Botox: ~3–4 months

• Daxxify: ~6 months (sometimes more)

2. Cost

• Botox: lower upfront, more frequent touch-ups

• Daxxify: higher upfront, but fewer visits in the long run

3. Technology

• Botox: trusted and time-tested

• Daxxify: new peptide-powered formula, FDA-approved

4. Ideal Candidates

• Botox: excellent for first-timers or those who prefer smaller steps

• Daxxify: great for busy lifestyles or clients who want longer-lasting results

At Forever Glow, we’ll help you decide based on your goals, preferences, and budget.

Which Is Right for You?

The truth is, both Botox and Daxxify are excellent choices. It really depends on what matters most to you:

• Want something tried-and-true and more budget-friendly? Botox may be the best starting point.

• Want longer-lasting results and fewer appointments? Daxxify may be the better match.

Either way, the most important thing is that your treatment looks natural, confident, and completely you.
